Any other Steelers fans on here worried about our prospects?
0-4 pre season
No running game to speak of
Heath Miller not fit
Brown & Saunders under big pressure to deliver at WR
Ageing defence
Big Ben's recent record with injuries
Tough divisional rivals (improving Bengals & the Superbowl champions.)
I think we'll be lucky to scrape 8-8.

Sky have got the opener on Thursday night/Frrday morning - being shown on Sky Sports 2. Sunday they have Falcons @Saints follwed by Packers @ 49ers. Not sure if they still have RedZone behind the red button this year
I make no bones about being a Kornheiser apologist.
Listening to the abridged version of his show today, (yesterdays show) it occurred to me it was the quintessential show.
There's maybe too many in-jokes, but this show has it all, comedy, sports, monkeys, serious stuff, the only thing missing was politics:-

Give it a listen.
For purely 'Skins stuff make sure you listen to Tuesday's show.
Absolute Radio have the radio commentary coverage of this seasons NFL.
Incredibly the Browns finished the preseason with a 3-1 record, including a victory over the Chicago Bears. Dare we hope for something marvelous like a winning season? Even finishing 7-9 will be progress after last season. And the season before that. And nearly every season since the Bernie Kosar days.

30 years a Cowboys fan, ups and downs just like the Albion. Will be good one week and hopeless the next. Romo inconsistent as a QB, and Owner Jerry Jones will fire the triggar again at the coach no doubt. Love the sky and online coverage. Love the commentary and knowledge of the guys who do the play by play. Biased but Aikman is great.

Ravens 27 - 49 Broncos
Manning with 7 TD passes, something not done since 1969 or something silly like that. Should have been a higher score had Trevathan not fumbled after returning an interception for a TD and dropping the ball to celebrate just before he crossed the line

Just glad neither of my fantasy teams got burned by that one, whoever has Manning this week has just cleaned up. Wow! What an opener, roll on sunday and then the big one on monday night (not the Texans and Chargers).

Every chance the Browns will not be as bad as everyone thinks, 7-9 maybe achievable if Weedon can play with conviction and confidence. Richardson could have a big year if healthy.

I'm hoping that the Browns can turn things around a bit this year - I've seen too many seasons start with a positive attitude, only for it to be wiped out by about week 5! Richardson will be a beast for us this year, although Im slightly concerned at the depth of the backfield behind him. Not really got anybody capable of taking up the slack imo. Weeden will have a better year I'm sure - and I reckon Cameron could be a real threat at TE. Big, athletic guy that could become a fav in the red zone for the QB's.
As for Manning & the Broncos last night....blimey! I watched the last half hour when the wife went off to work and the Ravens looked totally shell shocked. Not that that is a bad thing as a Browns fan though!

My second season of following the Falcons after declaring my colours last year.
Still learning the sport but I was DEVASTATED to see them fall so close to Super Bowl.
Any experts out there, are we (yes, im referring to them as we) likley to just storm into the playoffs (they were unbeaten last year, wern't they?) and then fall before the big prize??

Rich Eisen has tipped the Browns as his surprise team of the year, so who knows. Must be tough being a Browns fan I admire anyone who can stick with it. Still I think your division is wide open this year, the Ravens and Steelers are both weaker and the Bengals finally need to deal with some expectation.

Just caught up with it on game pass, it was a good game. Baltimore really lost it second half and had Manning and Thomas against them who could do little wrong. The interception and celebratory fumble by Trevathon was cringy and must be every coaches nightmare, loved the commentator saying coaches should just train players to go and give the ball back to an official prior to celebrating. Bizarre why Ravens did not challenge Welker catch when it clearly hit the ground and then lead to Bronco's stream rolling the game.

Looks like most of us started following the NFL around the same time, can't believe I've been a Skins fan for 30 years. The Browns are due a break, if you haven't seen it I recommend the 95 Browns episode of A Football Life from Season 2 on NFL Network, a tragic tale, but what an unbelievable coaching staff they had then.

Ouch! Welker looks like an awesome pick, all three receivers getting a shot in Denver yesterday.

I've only ever had a passing interest but at the start of last season I figured the best way for me to pay more attention and get into it was to follow a team. Simply on the basis that there is a Brighton just down the road from Denver (which saw a few Denver-based firms follow me on Twitter) I decided to go with the Orange Crush.
