Nate -Without Big Ben I expect a 1-3 start for the Steelers playing Atl, @Ten, @TB, Bal. The schedule does not get much easier after that having to play 6 playoffs teams along with near playoff teams Carolina and Miami. The defensive which gave up a league best 13.9 points two years ago in there Super Bowl run before giving up 20.3 last year despite only losing LB Larry Foote on defense. Well Foote is back but more importantly there 2 best players are back from injury, Polamalu and Aaron Smith, but I dont think the defensive is there concern, last year they gave up 80 points (26.7 ppg) in the final three games and won them all vs Green Bay, Baltimore, and Miami all teams fighting for the playoffs . But the 5 games before that they only gave up 105 points (21ppg) but lost at Kansas City, Baltimore and Cleveland, and home to Cincinatti and Oakland, Ouch. I wont count out Mike Tomlin one of the best coaches in the game but the Steelers could finish with any record and not surprise me. 9-7
