    Surprise NFC Team (Bad): Dallas had their sights on making it to the Super Bowl this season ever since North Texas was awarded SBXLV, but they miss the playoffs entirely.

    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

    Re: Season Predictions Thread (With Steeler Playoff Poll)

    I see the Steelers and Ravens both being 10-6 and tiebreakers will decide who wins the Divsion and who is the wildcard. The game Ben is suspended for could likely give the Ravens the tiebreaker.

    I agree that the Bumgals are way overrated.

          For now, I'm going to withhold on calling Ruthless an idiot who can't predict when his own birthday will happen next year.

          Why? Because his overall league record numbers actually add up to 256 winners, and 256 losers.


          That said...


          GO STEELERS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

            Fret not, my good man...I'll be sure to give you plenty of other opportunities to call me an idiot who can't predict when his own birthday will happen next year.

                AFC North

                Steelers 12-4: Pittsburgh uses all four QBs in an up and down season with mostly ups. But its their potent rushing attack (2nd NFL) and injury -free, turnover producing (1st NFL) D that lead them to the promised land of the playoffs.

                Ravens 10-6: Baltimore gets off to a slow start but roars back with a surprisingly balanced offense. Its their D that losses them a few contests by giving up big plays late in the game.

                Bengals 10-6: Cincinnatti's defense is for real and the two prima-donna WRs actually make for a respectable passing game. Its their lack of a running game towards the end of the year that slows these cats.

                Browns 6-10: The Browns made a run toward the end of last year but lose all their continuety and momentum by changing their QBs around. They start off slowly and again make a run toward the end of the year but its not enough to save Mangini's job this time.
