Steelers

What's everyone's thoughts on the Steelers this season?

I think they are a more talented team than last season. They added a lot more size, speed, and athleticism but there is also a lot of unproven young players that will be asked to play big roles for the team. I think there will be some growing pains but I believe they will be good enough to compete for the division. I personally think they are still a year away from returning to being a top-tier team in the AFC but will show some serious promise this season for the future. My prediction is they go 9-7 but will lose the tie breaker to the jets and miss the playoffs.

They are way under the radar I think. The biggest key to start the year? HEALTH. Pouncey is unreal so having him is a major plus from day one.

I think the Steelers are better team than start of training camp last year. Too much parity in the NFL, IMO.
25 teams will hover around the 6-9 win mark. It's too tough to make a prediction with this league. Half of the roster will miss time due to injury, it's just a matter of who and for how long.

I think how well Jarvis Jones and Jason Worilds play will determine if they will make the playoffs or be an average team. If they can both get 8+ sacks and put consistent pressure on QB's it will help force more turnovers and that is what the difference is between winning or losing a lot of games. I think the D-Line is improved and will do a nice job of clogging running lanes.
