Happydays, you probably are correct about how tough the Steeler schedule is. But team fortunes change so rapidly in pro football, that these schedule projections often prove to be incorrect. For example, at the beginning of the 2007 season, having two games against the previous years 13-3 Ravens appeared to be a really tough games for the Steelers. As you know, the 2007 Ravens were a very inept 5-11 and not formidable at all. At the same time, the Browns appeared mediocre at best at the start of the season, but proved to be tougher competion. So yes, it does look very tough for the Steelers right now, but the reality may prove to be somewhat less daunting.
