2013 Schedule Predictions
-
This type of thread is silly for the most part. Any fan of a team, that doesn't "predict" their team going 19-0 and winning the Lombardi trophy is questionable as a fan. That's what I predict the Steelers to do each and every year, and so far only a Dolphins fan can say that their prediction came true (in the Super Bowl era anyways). It doesn't matter, that in my heart of hearts, I know the Steelers don't have the horses to probably even make it to...I can't say it...I just can't say it. My prediction for 2013 is that the Steelers will draft higher in 2014 than anyone else in the AFC North (hopefully that comes about through a trade, sigh).

I just want to wake up the day after the first game and say HOLY SHIT we have won our opening game for once, and then not be pissed all week because we coulda shoulda done this or that to get the win.

So? You handle other men's schmekels?

Besides the Patriots and Green Bay and our standard 6 division games I'm pretty happy with our schedule this year. Using certain star charts and Ouija board and a quarter looks like we will have a pretty good chance at a playoff run this year
Buffalo Bills WIN
yes
New England Patriots WIN
seriously?
Miami Dolphins LOSE
miami is overrated
New York Jets LOSE
seriously?
Chicago Bears WIN
could go either way
Green Bay Packers LOSE
yes
Detroit Lions LOSE
you think we will beat the pats and lose to the lions?
Minnesota Vikings WIN
yes, if the run D is improved
Jacksonville Jaguars WIN
yes
Baltimore Ravens WIN
could go either way
Cincinnati Bengals WIN
could go either way
Pittsburgh Steelers WIN
yes
Kansas City Chiefs WIN
yes
Cincinnati Bengals LOSE
could go either way
Baltimore Ravens WIN
could go either way
Pittsburgh Steelers LOSE
I think we may sweep the steelers this year. They are old and were unimpressive last year.
Beside the Ravens and Minnesota our secondary better show up to the rest or we will get torched...though i think Dee is overated at 6 Haden needs help. Imagine if Haden and Skrine get injured during OTAs and are out for the season.
10-6 not to shabby that's a 6 game improvement over last year. I so wish they would add two to 4 additional games a year. have a two week bye week in the middle of the season and then an extra bye week towards the end of the year. Increase the roster size by and additional 5 players and increase cap by an extra 10% and take away one or two preseason games then add a couple of non contact scrimmages and i would love it... unfortunately the players union and the teachers union are represented by the same people, they love time off. I guess i'm just jealous that my wife gets 110 paid days a year and i only get 8 weeks.
**the above schedule is not in chronological order since the NFL has not released that...or preseason(later today) so we could be playing the Bills and Miami at the end of the season instead of the begining as the above may indicate**
2014 & 2015 Schedule will be much more dificult.
way to early to predict these things without the draft and offseason workouts etc.

And I'm sure you realize Zombo predicts the Browns to win every game. I got out of the predicting business long ago, especially before the draft and training camp.
Seriously, injuries play a huge part of the W-L equation now, and no telling who the injury bug is going to bite.

In or out of the "Super Bowl" era only 2 teams have ever gone undefeated and untied in a season: those 1972 Dolphins (17-0) and the 1948 Browns (15-0). Two Bears teams ('34 and '42 i think) went undefeated during the regular season but lost the NFL title game. Pre-1933, i.e. pre-playoff system, a few teams did not have any losses, but had some ties: The 1920 Akron Pros, the 1922 Canton Bulldogs, the 1923 Canton Bulldogs and the 1929 Green Bay Packers.

I think it's difficult to say we'll definitely win any games in particular, but if you look at the matches, if we win the ones that are winnable - that is, not GB, NE, @Ravens - we can go 12-4 or 13-3. But winning every single one of those games is a big ask from a young and inconsistent team. With that in mind, you have to look at games as being in categories:
Probably lose - anything from these games is a bonus
Patriots
Packers
@Ravens
Winnable - we stand a decent chance of getting a favourable result, but the opponent is probably thinking the same thing
@Bengals
@Steelers
@Vikings
Ravens
@Miami
Bears
Should win - if we don't win these, we'll be drafting near the top again next year
@Jets
Bengals
Steelers
Lions
@Chiefs
Jaguars
Bills
So that's 7 games I'd be disappointed if we didn't win. Maybe you can see a few of them being close - we're unlikely to blow anyone out this season - but largely I'd expect at least 5 wins from those. On top of that, 6 games that could go either way, and if we play well we could win. So split those, 3-3. So the minimum from that schedule is probably 8-8. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that, with some improvement at QB and excellent coaching, play calling and a solid draft, we could go something more like 10-6 or 12-4. I wouldn't put my money on it though.

9 and 7 if weeds makes his throws and TR runs like an MVP.
low notes: getting swept by NFC north in a 4 game skid.
highlights: sweeping our division foes except fo a hiccup against the bungles 3 weeks prior. i think cincy will have more losses in division meaning we win it. steelers and ravens take big steps back.
if our players play up to their ability and our coaching is solid, i can see the playoffs from here.
