how about the steelers

[mcbogo]

what do u think about the steelers this year. 3 winable games until Ben is back. they lost holmes but got back Randle El and Foote + a healthy Polamalu

[officepoolguy]

A healthy Polamalu is the key. They can score but their defense let em down last year. funny nobody is talking about them. They are a good sleeper team as they sucked ATS last year and should rebound.

[tomcast]

I expect them to be an 8-8 team

[iwantcougars]

i think the steelers will fight the bengals for one wild card spot. WIth polomalu and smith back, and more depth on the lb corp their D will be as good as 2008, the ??? mark if the special team coverage, since they allowed to many returns for Td

[mkoren]

I think they make the playoffs, but it will be close.

Awful, simply awful.

[daniell]

Look like it will be only 4-game penalty for Big Ben.

Somehow they'll make the playoffs. They'll lose their home opener to my Falcons though.

that's why i opened this thread. u have a team who is six times world champions, and played a great footbal the last 40 years and nobody is talking about them

I don't think your 40 yr history should make people talk about you for the upcoming year. Either you're going to be a good team NOW or you're not. That being said, they are under the radar because of a surprising leaky defense last year (reasons can be debated elsewhere) a shaky offensive line that got shakier with the loss of Willie Colon, and the 4 game Big Ben suspension. Plus, the fact they didn't make the playoffs last year.

I kinda feel like they're the third best team in their own division ....

We'll see.

[vegasfred]

The Falcons are surely capable of beating the Steelers. Atl just doesn't play that well on the road .....

how many teams have a winning record at Heinz Field?
Ravens and Bengals always begin with big hopes and they rarely hit the playoffs.

Except last year when they both made the playoffs ...
