So How about this for a schedule?

[DCSteelers]

If things finish up how they are looking now...

Pats, Colts, Jags, Titans,  Texans, Chargers, Cincy twice, Balty Twice, Cleveland twice...

Then Skins, Giants, Cowgirls, and Eagles.

Welcome to 2008!

The Titans and Texans have emerged as real teams, which will make for rough sledding in that division even this season.

The Steelers may have caught a break this year with the AFCE, though.  The Pats are obviously tough, but the Bills (already whooped), Jets, and Fins look to be in bad shape heading into the backstretch.  And the Rams now look to be the weak sister of the NFCW, with the Broncs and Ravens looking a lot less formidable than at the opening gun.  If the PS can take care of business in the division, Tomlin will see some January football in his first year.

Still, you gotta go out and play 'em, and a road trip to Denver after the bye week isn't an automatic W on anyone's schedule.
