If ben plays all the games and hes healthy, they could go 14-2 or 13-3, all the games are winable, but s*** happens. All the games he played in 04 were wins, they lost the only game he didnt play, then in 05 he lost 2 games, one with a broken thumb, but tommy maddox can be credited with the rest of the losses. 14-2 seems reasonable IMO, but then again, s*** happens.
^that was reason, the steelers fan in me says 16-0
The Steelers have a very good team. They most definatly go 11-5, 12-4, or 13-3. They also have a hard schedule. They play in a tough division and it is key that they don't get injured.
Oh, The K Train. I know how you feel with the 16-0. Lol. The Seahawk in me says the same thing. But like you said, **** happens.
Barring injuries (to Ben mainly) I'd say 12 wins is the FLOOR. Realistically, I expect 14 wins at least. They got better the last 2 years, and went 15-1 2 years ago, and would've went 14-2 or 15-1 or so last year if not for Ben's injuries. Of course if they get enough key injuries they could suck, but I still think that 12 is the floor unless the apocolypse is upon us.
