I didn't say I was right- I asked a question.

All I hear is "This guy's a stud. We are loaded up again".

Without anyone pointing to WHY they think that.



I think it because they improved their team speed on defense. I think Jarvis Jones is going to end up to be a stud. I believe we'll see more penetration from DL than we've seen in a while. I think the offense began to click at the end of last year. I think Antonio Brown is a stud. I think Ben Roethlisberger will be given more freedom to set tempo. I think Leveon Bell can be a fantastic weapon catching balls out of the backfield. I think the QB is cerebral enough to distribute the football. I think the added speed at WR will only make the west coast route concepts even more deadly. I think having Maurkice Pouncy and David DeCastro next to each other will be a dominant perimeter and screen combination as pulling road graders.

I think if they play to their potential that 11 wins is easy. And I think it has to be that way or all this shit is for naught


This. But that is what is in question in my mind. They are a young team, and need to go through ups and downs to be cohesive and trust each other. I also question mental fortitude, which I believe Tomlin looks at as well. He's mentioned it a few times so it must be an issue for him as well.

Having said that, I'm optimistic. I also think the first three games are going to be typical steeler games where it's up and down and everybody is going to have multiple heart attacks.


Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

It ain't going to be pretty, but the Steelers aren't about pretty are they? I'll take 11 ugly wins and a spot in the playoffs. We bringing back the Steelers blowout this year, get your antacid of choice ready and enjoy that shit.

I'm in the first car for this roller coaster ride. Let's fucking go!!!

Hells Yeah MJG!!! I ride!

Been laying low too for sure. I'm sick of the all bed shittings & pissing matches. Seems like you can't post an honest opinion around here anymore without some know it all asshat trying talk shit. I appreciate all the pre and post game articles/analysis and the old school posters here. You all know who you are.

As far as the Steelers go, I'm predicting 10-6 which will be enough to win the AFC North. The defense scares me at this point but, I believe they will get it going as the season progresses.

Go Steelers!

I love the optimism MJG. I Ride! If you look back to what we had talent wise last season compared to what we have going into this season how, how can you not see improvement? Would you rather have Dwyer and Redman as your backs or Bell and Blount? Do you like our starting o-line game 1 last year as compared to now? How much worse has our receiving core gotten? Brown,Sanders, Cotch, Wheaton and Moye(some think he is the second coming of Randy Moss). If you look at it, there isn't a big fall off in talent, if anything I see some blazing speed that was missing last year Wheaton,Archer DHB. Throw AB in the mix and any secondary is going to have a hard time covering these guys when all 4 are on the field.Lance Moore has proven himself in the NFL and should be just fine as a slot receiver.No more Ryan Clark, Mithchell will prove to be an Improvement, Worilds will be more effective than Woodley, and Jarvis Jones should definitely be much improved, as will Shamarko and Golden. The D-line is better and deeper this time around, Timmons, Shazier,Spence is much more appealing than Timmons, Williams and Foote. 11-5 here we go Steelers!
