Going to wait until July or so before I make my official by-the-quarter prediction, but i’ll say on the surface this looks like a 10 win season. They SHOULD be able to win at least 8 of these games (SF, CIN, BAL, MIA, CLE, ARI, BUF, NYJ) or at least they’ll be favored in those. Which is typically when Tomlin gets into the most trouble lol.

Right now, I have no prediction.

I'll have something late in camp though.

We'll see how they fill their holes.

No not that in depth! I split the season up into quarters (first 4 games, 2nd, 3rd & 4th) and give W-L for each “quarter”. @ATL96Steeler & I have been doing it every year.

My way too early guess came out to be 9-7. That had them losing to Seattle at home, which I wasn't sure about, so I'll hedge that and say between 10-6 and 9-7. Fuck it, who knows with these guys, they'll probably end up with 2 ties this year or something equally ridiculous.

Yea, I knew what you meant, but the comic relief aspect was better. :lol:

I think they surprise us an go 11-5 after a down yr... but running thru the games I came up with 10-6.

Loses...SEA, @NE, @ LAC, @CLE, @ BAL (not sure which but Tomlin will find a way to lose a game @ NYJ, @ AZ, or BUF at home).

Sticking with tradition @ATL96Steeler...

1st Quarter:
8:20PM - @ NE (SNF)
1PM - vs. SEA
4:25PM - @ SF
8:15PM - vs. CIN (MNF)

Thoughts: The most unpredictable time for this team are the first 4 weeks. I've seen this team stumble out the gate too many times to feel confident about it. Huge week 1 matchup should have this team motivated, but they'll need some luck if they are going to survive Foxborough with a win. The coaching staff is simply outclassed and it will be very noticeable. Winnable games against SEA & SF, but traveling coast to coast to SF has me worried.

Take:
2-2. Losses to NE & SF here.

2nd Quarter:
1PM - vs. BAL
8:20PM - @ LAC (SNF)
BYE WEEK 7
8:15PM - vs. MIA (MNF)
1PM - vs. IND

Thoughts: Always a tough game, but they should have a pretty easy blueprint by week 5 for BAL. At home they should be able to handle the task. LAC will be tough. Probably the most rounded team in the AFC on paper. A bye week of rest before 2 home games against MIA & IND. IND should be a solid team, but Ben dominates. Should be a fun game though.

Take: 3-1. Optimistic take. If things aren't goin well for PIT, then 1-3 is a very real possibility. Loss to @LAC.

3rd Quarter:
4:25PM - vs. LAR
8:20PM - @ CLE (TNF)
1PM - @ CIN
4:25PM - vs. CLE

Thoughts: Lucky to draw the Rams at home. Should be a barn burner statement game though. If this team is for real then they better win that game. Speaking of "for real", Cleveland will be tough to predict this early. I'll take a split with them just for the sake of being neutral. PIT will want to make a statment during this 3rd quarter of games. 3 straight AFCN matchups. CIN is falling apart at the wheels right now, but they have enough pieces to compete.

Take: 2-2. Loss to LAR & @CLE.

4th Quarter:
4:25PM - @ ARI
1PM - vs. BUF
1PM - @ NYJ
1PM - @ BAL

Thoughts: Road trap games galore. But... Being the 4th quarter of the season this PIT team should be firing on all cylinders. Pray to the Lord that they are sitting in favorable position in the AFC, or this will be one helluva tense quarter.

Take: 3-1. Loss @BAL. Typically predict a split with them no matter what. But color me very apprehensive about this.


Overall: Going with 10-6. Really tough season to predict with how many questions there are. Could see this turning into a 9-7 or 8-8 special since I have very little faith in the coaching staff. 7 games against '18 playoff teams (2 BAL), with lots of trap games mixed in. 3 primetime games will help their chances, or make things miserable lol. MNF against MIA should be scary.

i went with 10-6 as well , without posting the analysis, but i could see 11-5.

could see 8-8 too, but my initial reaction was 11-5 and losing a game i think they should win.

i dunno why i feel like they go into NE and win

I'm trying not to overthink that NE game and just focus on the coaching aspects. Tomlin has a pretty meager record in weeks 1-4 IIRC. I just don't think the coaching staff will be ready for NE that early in the season.

We know that Tomlin has the propensity to simply rely on his stars to make plays early on in the year. Then go full "reaction mode" when things go south, which they typically always do.

That shit won't fly against the Pats.

Good stuff.

1st Q...3-1...@ NE...Even though I think this NE team w/o Gronk will not be quite as good as LY, still too much too soon for Butler/Tomlin's DEF in NE (wouldn't be surprised to see them lose by dbl digits)...the only saving grace...primetime...maybe they keep it close. I think they will beat SF, but wouldn't bet a dime on it...west coast games are not to be trusted under Tomlin.

2nd Q...3-1...@ LAC...IND is on the uptick, but this is a team that had a soft schedule LY. Still no clue about BAL...on paper this should be a sweep year, but whenever I think that, they split or worse yet get swept so I'm sticking with a split and home win.

3rd Q...2-2...@ CLE, LAR...I'm tempted to give them 3Ws here...I think the Rams also digress a little from LY.

4th Q...3-1...@ BAL. Close strong! They will probably be the favorite in all 4 games which we know is dangerous. The Jet game already scares me...Bell being over there will have them mentally ready

While I feel better saying 10-6, they should win 11 games this yr against this schedule.

This ticks off 11-5...I'm afraid to say it, but I have a feeling CIN will be the low team on the totem pole again, and the team that sweeps them will win the DIV...and I think PIT will win the DIV so that's my 1th W.
