    Make your Steeler predictions for this season (W-L record, playoff seeding & results)

    I think that our regular season record is not as good as last year, but the playoff results are much better.

    AFC Seeding:
    1. New England 12-4
    2. L.A. Chargers 11-5
    3. Pittsburgh 11-5
    4. Houston 11-5
    5. Jacksonville 10-6
    6. Denver 9-7

    Wild Card: Pittsburgh over Denver, Houston over Jacksonville
    Divisional: Pittsburgh over L.A. Chargers, Houston over New England
    AFCCG: Pittsburgh over Houston

    NFC Seeding:
    1. Minnesota 14-2
    2. L.A. Rams 13-3
    3. Philadelphia 12-4
    4. New Orleans 11-5
    5. Green Bay 11-5
    6. Atlanta 10-6

    Wild Card: Philadelphia over Atlanta, Green Bay over New Orleans
    Divisional: Philadelphia over L.A. Rams, Minnesota over Green Bay
    AFCCG: Minnesota over Philadelphia

    Super Bowl: Pittsburgh over Minnesota

    Super Bowl MVP: Le'Veon Bell (who returns to the team during the 10 day "mini-bye" between the Carolina and Jacksonville games) in his final game with the Steelers has over 150 yards rushing plus 1 rushing TD and over 80 yards receiving plus another receiving TD in the Super Bowl.
    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.

    If Bell sits out the season we will be lucky to be 7-9, seriously!

      In 2015 and 2016, the Steelers were 11-5 without Bell...
      Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

          So that would be Bells fault then wouldn't it?
          You know that the negotiation period is over right?
          Perhaps other Steeler players should start saving their bodies for future contracts..
          I mean JuJu should start sitting out plays so he can save himself for the future...LMFAO

            We finish 10-6

            Start off poorly with glaring problems on offense and defense, get things turned around so that we wind up with a winning record

            but injuries late in the season hit us hard, and we lose out in the wildcard round of the playoffs

            Burnett and McDonald spend more games out due to injury than they do playing

            Butler is this season's scapegoat and loses his job

            Hope I'm wrong and we win the Super Bowl

              I wonder how many games Jerry Rice sat out so as to prolong his career. Or John Riggins. Or Walter Payton, or....

                11-5 and winning the AFC North as the #2 seed

                      So far, sadly, playing out just as I predicted

                      Steelers start the season thinking they can win games on their reputation

                      Have to be humbled to realize it's not going to work that way

                      We've seen this movie before
