So, what are we?

[squidkid]

game 1) mediocre
game 2) bottom feeder
game 3) super bowl contender

it appears that the season is going to be a roller coaster.
save your money boys, dont bet on or against the steelers this year

The Steelers are a team still in transition from replacing some very good veteran players that played and won Super Bowls. The arrow is pointing up, but there will be inconsistencies and more growing pains. The Steelers are not a bottom feeder and don't appear to be a Super Bowl contender either, so, I'll go with average, but trending to above average and playoff caliber. I still think 9-7 or 10-6 is where they end up.

They are 2-1...at this point, it is light years better than last season...

I'll take improvement....

Yup...only the Eagles, Cardinals, and Bengals have a better record in the entire NFL right now...can't complain.

We are a young inconsistent team capable of beating anyone when playing well.

[WindyCitySteel]

We're a group of men capable of playing winning football in a stadium environment on blades of grass, if you will.

[steelblood]

we are young with potential and a very soft schedule for the next two weeks.

we do have some depth/quality issues at CB.

[Discipline of Steel]

We are 2-1 with a dominant running game!

[The Man of Steel]

If we can just keep running the damn ball for 150-200yds a game while at the same time control the clock to keep our substandard defense off the field then I think we are a contender.

[Mr.wizard]

We are who we thought we were!!!!!

I agree, and on the flipside because of our inconsistency we are also capable of losing to anyone when we're not playing well...

This would be true, plus we have a duel threat, stop the run, try and stop the pass as well. When clicking they are both very dangerous, unlike Carolina last night, we could get one dimensional and still do some serious damage.

[feltdizz]

We are the Steelers and we are 2-1.

Not bad...

I'd like to believe the O-line is really starting to gel and become a formidable unit. With Ben, Antonio, Le'Veon, Heath, Marcus and even Legarrette, this offense has the talent to be exceptional. No excuse to lose to Tampa or Jacksonville and then Cleveland and Houston are certainly beatable as well. 6-1 would sure feel great.
