This is going to get interesting even if Watson is suspended. This is the toughest division in the sport I'm telling you. IT IS! Even a 3rd in this division has a Lombardi shot.

No doubt Big Ben's best days are behind him..but that has 0 to do with how bad Mitch Tribisky is.

Fred Toast is legitimate calm down.
I respect his craft even thought he said he made a mock but I wasn't alive to see it. Dude was mocking Bart Starr. Love Fred. I can respect a man that throws me a life raft when I'm in over my head and wrong.

We WONT sweep them or the Ravens this coming season.

I think cincy sweeps both but I do see 10 wins for pitt

Hilarious how the fans here keep under estimating the Steelers when at worst they finish is .500 no matter how weak the roster is

You’d think they’d learn by now. Some real ignorant people here

Trubisky will not be better than a 2052 Big Ben. 

Ben was horrendous in 2021.

Trubisky is bad, but he’s will not be 2021 Roethlisberger bad

No it's not. The AFC West is the toughest on paper. AFC East probably isn't very far behind the North, either.

Okey Dokey..

The Bengals are currently better than the Steelers by a lot. Anyone that believes otherwise still has PTSD from the Marvin era and the 2015 playoff debacle.

The last memory I have of the Steelers' fall from grace is the utter softness of the defense vs Mixon. Joe was running behind an undeniably putrid offensive line, yet that defense had zero interest in tackling him in the PBS tilt last season. It was honestly hard to believe if you didn't see it with your own eyes.

Tee Higgins had a big game that day, and Burrow made some incredible throws. Still, the root cause of that embarrassment game for Pittsburgh was the dominance of the Bengals ground game. I know they have Flores, but the Bengals added a legit right side to the o-line. If that defensive group couldn't stop Mixon running behind last year's OL, what makes anyone think they will stop them with Cappa and Collins stepping into the lineup?

Also, as redundant as it may be, you aren't going anywhere in this league without a star quarterback. You can win a decent amount of games with a good supporting roster, but if you don't have a top 10 qb, you're in purgatory. This is precisely where the Steelers find themselves in 2022 and the foreseeable future up until they either luck into one or are so bad that they can draft one in the top 5.

Nobody will believe this but the Steelers will have a say so in this division. I don't think that they beat the Bengals in week one but I think that "They Are" The Steelers this season. Its the Steelers that we need to worry about especially if they get QB play. You heard it here first.
The Browns are "Fools Gold" ...The Ravens draft well but Lamar is setting himself up for Miami or San Fran.
Freebies we take

They made the playoffs last season with an old and beat up QB. Tomlin is a great motivator. Time will tell.

Steelers will finish 0-17.. I'm only saying that because, well...they suck and it's fun to say it..   I waited nearly my entire life to be able to say this with even a shred of seriousness.
