		<description>IT IS, WHAT IT IS. THATS WHAT COWHER WOULD SAY. WE CAN'T DWELL ON THIS YEARS SCHEDULE, THESE ARE ALL BEATABLE TEAMS, AND WE HAVE BEATEN THESE TEAMS AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER. WE HAVE A GREAT QB IN BIG BUCKS BEN, AND WE STILL HAVE A DEFENSE THAT CAN SHUT EM DOWN, WE WILL WIN MORE THAN WE LOSE, AND WE WILL BE TRIED AND TESTED WHEN THE PLAYOFFS START. THE ONLY REAL TEAM THAT MAKES ME LOK TWICE AT THE SCHEDULE, ARE THE HOUSTON TEXANS,, YES ITS ONLY THE FIRST GAME, BUT I FEEL STARTING THE SEASON OUT, IT CAN BE ONE OF THOSE " LOOK BACK GAMES ".  HERE WE GO STEELERS,, I LOVE THIS SCHEDULE.............................. SMASH MOUTH SCHEDULE, FOR A SMASHMOUTH TEAM.</description>

		<description>So let me get it straight JC.  They are tired of dominance in the AFC North by Pittsburgh but are looking to extend the dominance of the Pats in the East?  Cleveland is considered better for viewership than the Steelers?  I guess that is why teams around the NFL sell out in adsvance when the dread Cleve Brownies are coming to town!  Steeler games draw more viewership when in prometime or anytime than all other teams excepting Dallas and GB.  The Pats have stock has come up in recent years in that respect as well.  Who is on dope JC?
Sounds like making excuses for failure way ahead of time to me.  We won a Superbowl as a wildcard with three away games to get there.  Why is this year's schedule intimidating?  The great teams overcome that crap.  The losers use it as an excuse.  Why would the NFL hatch a conspiricay to favor and help New England when the Belicheat scandal is being looked at in congress?  I guess they just hate the Steelers so much they are willing to risk it...</description>

		<description>Listen, I am from MASS originally and live in Sunny FLA and no one hates the Pats more than me. All I am hoping for is just get back to the basics of Steeler ball and get that kid from Oregon or a bruiser in the later rounds after we get some help on both sides of the line. How about a 2 rd pick for Chad Johnson:), even though he has a big mouth, he sure would look good in the black n gold with Holmes, Hines and Miller!!!! Just dreaming but it would be nice</description>

		<description>IF!!!!!! a person can not see the lobsided  scheduleing  they are on dop or in with the NFL  scumb bags who made these schedules   the Patriots are getting by easy compared to steelers , colts and jags     I  think they are trying to pull basement teams up and pushing some to the bottom  the way I see they NFL front office Love affair with the Patriots continues,   could they be trying to eliminate the domminate steelers ?  if you look at the sched.  you would have to think so ,  I do not think the steelers players are  worried about the opponets as much as fans do  ,  but they have a very tough schedule  I can see them going 8-8 if that  has the NFL front office made a statment to the steelers  like  we are tired of your dominance in the afc north and so are the cleveland browns better up front in that division for NFL ratings , after all that is the only thing TV and the NFL are intrested in anyway.

Puting the Steelers colts and Jags 3 very tough teams in a tough schedule puts a lot of pressure on them I see 2 of them missing the play-offs in 08  colts and steelers   I can see any others beating the Patriots in a play-off game  baring injurys</description>

		<description>Serge:  Come on.  Waiting on a schedule to make draft day decisions.  I think they were fairly serious about blocking up front, better secondary play, incresed pass rush pressure, etc. before seeing the new schedule.

It is a tough schedule.  As for SNF and MNF, remeber the change to allow subsitute games that came in last year?  I think the emphasis on MNF/SNF games is over the top.  Four days to prepare for a Thursday game is a challenge but I don't think the lack of those are the big factor in the Patriot's success.  It was more cheating and favored treatment by game officials.

Let's remember. we are form Pittsburgh!  We are Steeler fans!  Blue collar!  Who wants a wimpy schedule anyway.  To be the best, beat the best.  No whining zone declared!</description>
