Pittsburgh Steelers season forecast: Clouds moving out giving way to clear skies

The preseason is over and the Pittsburgh Steelers head into the season with optimism, for good reason.

The real games are about to begin after going through a preseason of evaluating 90 players that have been pared down to 53 of the coaches best choices. Have they chosen correctly? Was every stone overturned? Did the coaches check every nook and cranny to find those diamonds in the rough?

I believe they have found the formula to not only get to the Super Bowl but win it. However, it is going to take a combination of all three aspects of gamesmanship to reach beyond their potential and into that rarified air of Lombardi greatness.

The Steelers coaching experience, high powered offense and on the rising defense are the ingredients that require the team to be not merely good but great when it is called upon.

Much like the Pittsburgh weather on an autumn afternoon that we affectionately call “Indian Summer,” clouds often give way to clear skies with no rain in sight. There may be some clouds from time to time during the course of the season but in the end, the skies will be clear all the way to the Super Bowl. Hopefully, my optimism is contagious and the fans join in with me to put those positive vibes out into the atmosphere. Let me share with you the reasons that I believe.
