Steelers Burning Questions: How far has your prediction for 2022 fallen?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for their Week 8 game vs. the Philadelphia Eagles, and many fans of the black and gold are starting to see their confidence fluctuate heading deeper into the regular season.

Even after a Week 1 overtime win vs. the Cincinnati Bengals, there were massive questions which remained. Throw in the Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots with a prime time loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 3, and doubt officially crept into every fans’ minds. When you add in the Steelers falling flat in Week 4 vs. the New York Jets, most fans were beyond fed up.

Shockingly, with Kenny Pickett’s entrance into the lineup vs. the Jets, confidence grew despite a loss in Week 4. The good vibes for Pickett didn’t last after the debacle vs. the Buffalo Bills in Week 5.

With fans about done with having any confidence in the team, the Steelers rebounded in Week 6 to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home, but needing two quarterbacks to do it. Was the win over Tom Brady and the boys enough to lift the fans’ confidence? Following the prime time loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 7, probably not much.

So, with that being said, it is time to ask some key questions to the fan base as the Dolphins game quickly approaches. We call them the ‘Steelers Burning Questions’, and there is one which is consistent every week.

Are you confident in the team moving forward?

Other than that staple question, some other questions can be added to help give readers at BTSC, and Steelers fans in general, a voice in what they think about the team. This week the question is based on season predictions. Before the season started, many sportsbooks, including DraftKings Sportsbook, had the Steelers Win-Loss total set at 7.5. Many, including myself, scoffed at this seeing it as an easy bet.

Take the over.

Well, after the 2-5 start, things have certainly changed. How much? Well that depends on you.

So, the question is...

How many wins will the Steelers have at season’s end?

Here are your options:

• 8+
• 6-7
• 4-5
• Less

How do you participate in this exercise? It’s easy. All you have to do is scroll down to the polls and place your vote.
