The Steelers draw both Super Bowl finalists in the New York Giants and New England Patriots. Other games against proverbial powerhouse teams are Jacksonville, Indianapolis, San Diego and Dallas. Once again the Steelers will also have a home and home with the much improved Cleveland Browns; the Steelers have had their number over the past couple seasons, but the Browns have definitely made strides since then.
When analyzing the schedule I think it’s quite possible the Steelers will go 11-5 this season and once again win the AFC North. If the Steelers can remain healthy through the regular season they will be battle tested and primed for the playoffs.
Steelers fans have reason to be excited for the upcoming season for several reasons. Ben Roethlisberger continues to improve with each passing season. The youth movement is going to make things very exciting and Tomlin is another year into his system. I look for a great season.
Let’s hear you’re thought Steelers fans. What is your take of the upcoming season and what are your thoughts on their schedule?

That schedule is insane!!
If they go 11-5 with that schedule they will be SUPER ready for the playoffs. If their young D can step up, the Steelers will be just fine!

The Steelers will have it tough winning the division, with Cleveland on the rise, but they will no doubt be a playoff contender, and should get the division in the end.
How does Clevelands schedule compare?

CLeveland actually has a much easier scheduele, but with the antics of Winslow and question as to whether Anderson can have as good of year will make it tough on them. It will be close, but the two head to head games will go a long way in deciding the division.
