10 predictions for steelers, including a very good OLine this season.

1. Impossible for them to give up only 20 sacks. That would mean only allowing 1 per game from here on out.

2. Once again, do you honestly think Ben will only throw 3 picks over 15 games? That’s ridiculous. 4,000 yards might happen if we continue to rely on Ben’s arm to win.

3. Reasonable

4. I’d like to think Ward can still knock out the 1,000 mark.

5. Not going to happen. I would put good money that none of our backs break 1,000.

6. Duh

7. 12-4, wherever that puts us

8. This all depends on Polamalu and Timmons injuries. We might finish #1 overall and #1 in passing, but I see the Ravens taking the rush D #1.

9. Too early to tell on all those teams, except maybe the eagles, giants, vikings. They have the talent for sure. Saints – is their D any good? We will find out sunday. 49ers- Can they really rely on Hill in the long run? Packers – can Rodgers make something of the talent they have, and can their defense consistently hold teams under 20?

1. No way
2. TD’s yes, yards and picks, no.
3. I’ll buy
4. Could happen, but hopefully more games aren’t close and it doesn’t due to fewer throws in 2nd halves.
5. More likely to happen: Browns make the playoffs.
6. Stunning.
7. Ben stays healthy? Ok.
8. Would be great, but it’s possible they don’t but are still better than last year.
9. Not sold yet on Minnesota. I’d put Falcons or Cowboys in before them.

Wow, this is like reading the cover of the National Enquirer in January. Yeah, some of the most outrageous stuff sometimes comes true… but what good is it if 80% of it is false?

1. OLine gels to become an good passing unit giving up only 20 sacks attributed to it this season

Not a chance. Unless you play fast and loose with the “attributed” part. They average probably three sacks a game. Two a game would be great. One a game (which is what you are suggesting) is out of the question.

2. As a result ben throws for 4000 yards, 25 TDs and 5 Ints

So, Ben is going to average 250 yards a game? Not impossible, but if he is throwing that much, I don’t think your last prediction is coming true…

3. Santonio Holmes has his first 1k receiving season with 1,300 receiving yards.

I was wondering who Ben was throwing all of these passes to… Santonio, huh? I could see this happening. But I doubt it. Somewhere along the way, teams will stop protecting against the run and start doubling Santonio and Hines.

4. Hines ward has another 1000 receiving season with 1100 yards.

Two Steelers Wideouts with over 1000 yards catching, eh? I have two words: Tommy Gun. We learned our lesson. Nuff Said…

5. Steelers rushing attack bounces back with parker gaining 1,200 yards this season 4 TDs.

Wow, two WRs over a 1000 yards AND a 1000 yard rusher. You’re head isn’t too much in the clouds, is it? You have to pick…run attack or pass attack. They aren’t both happening. Not on this planet…

6. steelers still have trouble in goal line rushing and short yardage runs.

That’s not a prediction. That’s an observation.

7. Steelers finish first AFC, beat ravens 1, lose 1 and gain home field advantage(best record AFC)

Wow… we must lose the Ravens in a shootout the way you have our offense clicking…

8. Steelers Defense finishes first in every category except rushing(again) and has highest number of sacks(50+), Polamalu finishes with 6 int.

Not a chance. Hate to tell you all, but the Defense is taking a statistical fall this year. Especially if your dream of a passing attack comes true. They will be on the field more, they will be more tired, and they will give up a lot more points.

And Polamalu getting 6 ints? Only if he is out 3 weeks… not 6. I am worried about him coming back too soon and gimping through the season…

9. Saints, 49ers, vikings, giants make it to playoffs.

Who knows? The NFC is always a crap-shoot.

packers and eagles make wild card.

::: shrugs ::: maybe… (see above…)

saints play giants in NFC championship and lose.

 
I don’t see the Giants making it that far, personally.

10. STEELERS PLAY GIANTS IN SUPERBOWL AND WIN.

I don’t think the Giants are making it out of the first round. Eli is a fraud. Not sure who I like out of the NFC. Could be Seattle. That would be nice. I’d like another crack at them to be honest… now that Ben won’t choke in the Super Bowl. They’d be toast…

IF the Steelers can get the line serviceable enough that we have a decent ground attack, so Ben doesn’t have to throw 40 times a game… I think we win our division and I like our chances in the Playoffs.

But I don’t see us having a 1000 yard rusher. I will be shocked if we have 2 1000 yard receivers. And I doubt our defense will be number one in ANY category this year.

I still think we win the Super Bowl — after beating New England — at Foxboro — for the AFC championship game.

FWIW.

1. Pitt misses playoffs
2. Tomlin’s lawn painted.
3. Ben goes on a drinking binge and makes obscene calls to Bob Costa.
4. Ward demands a trade to NE and his own super hero character..
5. Troys leg never fully heals and he self medicates while watching captain Caveman and Heckle and Jeckle cartoons.
6. Limas Sweed changes his name to Sweet Pea Lima Bean.
7. Jeff Reed charged with domestic violence after marrying a tampon dispensor and beating it.
8. D coach goes back under his tree and sleeps for another 100 years.
9. Towely retired and replaced by pink thunder sticks.
10. Steeler fans steal Rally Monkey idea to go with Heeeeath chant.

I don’t subscribe to this hocus pocus.

In case you haven’t realized, it’s not politically correct. There is nothing wrong with a little irreverance, chill out. In fact, gay people might find it humorous.

and could still be doing a great job. Think about the Titans game? Four sacks, and really they controlled the pass rush in the second half. If we get that from those guys we will have a successful year. Parker doesn’t have the wheels to be a 1000 yard back anymore, not on this time at least. Santonio is finally the guy we anticipated him to be. He will have a huge year. I hope Ben does throw for 4000+, because that has to be the focus of our offense.

     I won’t comment on team success, but suffice to say we have as good a chance as anyone to take the next Super Bowl.

Polamalu gets 10 one-handed picks and 24 where he grasps one as its an inch off the ground.

James Harrson & LaMarr Woodley get 50 sacks each and get into a fist fight in which the winner is the offensive line of whoever we play in the SB

BB breaks the world record of yards thrown by surpassing 6000 because as I said before Sweed gets 2000, surag said Tone and Hines both eclipse 1000, throw a couple hundred to Heath and Wally and we’re good

FWP and Mendy combine to an avg of -10 yards throughout the season, luckily Ben’s robotic arm makes up for that.

We go to the SB against the 49ers, we win, but are amazingly impressed by Patrick Willis so we trade away our next two 1st round picks and FWP and Mendy and Willie Colon. Actually we just give them Colon for free.

Bruce Arians is going to call the best season of his life. He must, how else would BB get those 6000 yards?

Drew Brees goes insane trying to keep up with the yards thrown by BB, could not handle the pressure, and throws for 5,998 yards.

Those are my predictions as of 3:14 on Saturday, September 19, 2009. Feel free to agree or disagree with any of the above statements.

1. Ben Roethlisberger wins the Super Bowl twice. The rest of the team loses in the AFC Championship game.

2. James Harrison strips the trophy and takes it to the house. . . his house.

3. Speaking of the QB, he is mentioned no less than 12 times in any post with 15 comments.

4. His last name is spelled out less than once each post. (on average)

5. Mendenhall actually does wear a dress to the game, and runs for 100 yards.

6. Santonio Holmes ends the season with 128 catches for 2096 yards and 16 TD’s, just to show everyone his consistency.

7. Redman gets called up and is elected into the Hall of Fame after three games and 112 TD’s.
