2019 opponents

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

Just taking a look here at next year's schedule.

Home: Ravens, Browns, Bengals, Dolphins, Bills, Seahawks, Rams, Colts

Away: Ravens, Browns, Bengals, Patriots, Jets, Cardinals, 49ers, Chargers

Advantages:

1) We've been talking recently about the AFC East being the worst division in the league the last few years. Time to see. Playing the one tough game in Foxboro, while getting to play three supposedly easy teams.

2) Playing an NFC division with two strong teams and two weak teams (NFC West). Get the two strong teams at home (Rams, Seahawks) and the two easier games (9ers, Cards) on the road.

Disadvantages:

1) Three West Coast trips (although one not quite all the way to the coast).

2) Everyone always talks about the first place schedule being tough. The difference is only two games. This year the Steelers miss the first place schedule. The result? Second place schedule gives the Steelers the Colts (10-6) and the Chargers (12-4). First place would have been Chiefs (12-4) and Houston (11-5). Not much difference.

The biggest question is can the Steelers beat teams (and convincingly) that they should easily in SF, Arizona, Buffalo, Jets?

Not a tough schedule by any stretch, without some drastic changes in several of these teams.

San Fran might not be a joke once Jimmy G is healthy again.

And has Mr Big Chest as a wideout. (Looking forward to Haden laying AB out if he ends up in SF)

[AzStillers1989]

Hoping to go to the game here in AZ. If not, then it will be fun watching with cardinals friends and a couple family member(my wife, sister and her husband).

My thoughts exactly, SF at times played well considering they lost their starting qb and starting RB.

The draft and FA changes a lot of things. Last year people thought the colts would be fairly easy.

Yes, not much difference in 1st and 2nd not much difference.

The biggest thing to notice is that our oppenents besides AFCN teams are most likely potential trade partners for AB.

Double him with the opposite CB and let Haden shut down their #2

Not a joke, but a team that the Steelers should beat if they want to be a contender.
