Looking Ahead At The Schedule Things Look Very Favorable.....

If I had a dime every time someone said let's slow down there or one game at a time I would have many dimes. It's not like we're actually playing these games, as fans we're allowed to do this and especially on a forum. Seriously though, calm down the Steelers are this week.

 

It's still hard to predict this team. Even though Pitt. is banged up I'm not going to be surprised if we lose this game. Our schedule is very favorable looking ahead I could see us being 8-1 or 7-2 by the time we hit Atlanta. We could easily beat the Falcons who are pretty overrated and the Bucs, not digging our chances at Buffalo and against the Saints though. We finish with 3 games we should win, we're looking at 13-3 to worst case 10-6.

 

The Houston game after the bye will be huge. We may have lucked out with A. Johnson being out 3 weeks. We can't ever seem to cover that guy and he beats us consistantly. Without A. Johnson, we can do what other teams do to us, put 7-8 men in the box and make them beat us in the air.

Oh, and don't forget something about the Pitt game: they beat Hasselbeck in the Superbowl. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten about that. Maybe added motivation for him this week.

I think we end up 12-4 with losses to Jax, ATL, No, Hou. That should be good enough to win the division.

 

If manning goes on the sideline. I think painter will improve. Manning in your ear should give him a boost.

 

I really want to see our game vs. Carolina. It's one that we can definitely win, but with Carolina's suspect defense, I wonder if it'll be a shootout.
