    Steelers 2017 Strength of Schedule

    5th weakest in the NFL, with CIN at 4th weakest. Donkeys and Chiefs have the toughest sledding in the NFL this season.

    Steelers might do better with a tougher schedule. Just sayin'.

      I don't know how much to consider strength of schedule. For years we have shown a remarkably consistent ability to lose to very bad teams.


      We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!

      HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

        Exactly what I came in here to say, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

          Have we? We've been through this many times...

          Were the Dolphins a bad team last year? The Chiefs in 2015?
          Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

            not really true when you look at those teams final record for the season.

            just because a team is 1-3 to start the season doesn't mean they are a very bad team.

                I think we need to get this straight. We don't just have a propensity to lose to bad teams. It's only bad teams with rookie QBs.
                Trolls are people too.

                  Were the Titans, Vikings and Bears good teams in 2013? Were the Jets, Browns and Buccaneers good teams in 2014? Were the Ravens a good team in 2015? Were the Eagles a good team in 2016?

                    Eagles weren't bad but they weren't good either. I think Wentz didn't have much tape so teams were trying to figure him out. I remember fans were mad at me when I said Wentz wasn't fast and then he scrambled for a first down and everyone acted like he was RG3. LOL...

                        According to YOUR metric they were a good team, because they had a non-losing season in 2013.

                          To credit, there were many (myself included) that had them pegged as a dark horse pick to represent the AFC in the Superbowl. They had a ****ty record, but were playing some of the best football of any team by the end of the season.

                            This info isn't hard too find. Tomlin's overall record against non-winning teams is 0.713. But of course a closer look shows several seasons where they were 0.500 or less and several where they were perfect.

                              stop making sense.
