We'll win. Why? The defense will be awake when a REAL QB is in the pocket against us...

I can't find a f****** list of games the Steelers have played at home against the Donkeys... I think there has been two home games for the Steelers both at Three Rivers.. Anybody?

Since 2003, the Steelers have played eight games against the Broncos,including the two playoffs game in 2005 and 2011 and also in pre-season game in 2010 and seven of eight games against the broncos were in Denver

The only game against the broncos @ Pittsburgh since 2003, it was in 2006

if the steelers play against the Broncos in 2013, it will also be in Denver!

I completely Agree, I was joking last year about being worried about Tebow cause he was so out of the norm when it come to playing against a QB in the league, and it showed on his 10 passes or whatever that throttled our secondary. Against Manning, I am never worried, pressue in his face, he's a statue, he'll start to make mistakes once he's hit a few times. I've never "feared" Manning and I'd love get that game out of the system to start the year.

Thanks Beast!!! Looks like they are fair about the schedule!!!!! Takes Ryan Clark out of the lineup week one... But at least James and LaMarr will get to test Peytons neck!!!!!!!! Backfire brought to you by Goodell!!!

he should literally train in the offseason as if he was the starter

Initial thoughts . . . besides the early bye, doesn't look too bad. 5 of the final 7 games are division opponents. 3 of the last 4 games are at home. Thursday game is early in the season, which is good. The trip to Oakland is followed by the bye, which is also good. 5 home games at 1 o'clock which I like.

I hope we freaking hit Manning so hard that he's out for the game (but not the season).

Looks like his neck will be tested week one. Harrison & Woodley are coming for you Peyton! Keep your head on a swivel!

Looks like I'm heading to Jerry's World, haven't been there since...."Vinny Fumbles! Picked up by Kimo! Bettis at the goal line TOUCHDOWN! STEELERS WIN!" And that was in the old Shed they used to play in, can't wait to see the new venue and take that motherfcker over

Oh Yeah!

That's a really nasty schedule.

Playing Patsy for Manning's Bronco Debut, 2 out of the first 3 games on the road. Playing most of out primetime games on the road, and a buttload of 4pm games.

I think the Raven's schedule is more formidable than ours. I can pick out 10 games they could struggle in:

Ravens Regular-Season Schedule (All times Eastern)
Week 1: Monday, Sept. 10, Cincinnati, 7:00 PM
Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 16, at Philadelphia, 1:00 PM
Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 23, New England, 8:20 PM
Week 4: Thursday, Sept. 27, Cleveland, 8:20 PM
Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 7, at Kansas City, 1:00 PM
Week 6: Sunday, Oct. 14, Dallas, 1:00 PM
Week 7: Sunday, Oct. 21, at Houston, 1:00 PM
Week 8: BYE
Week 9: Sunday, Nov. 4, at Cleveland, 1:00 PM
Week 10: Sunday, Nov. 11, Oakland, 1:00 PM
Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 18, at Pittsburgh, 8:20 PM
Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 25, at San Diego, 4:05 PM
Week 13: Sunday, Dec. 2, Pittsburgh, 4:15 PM
Week 14: Sunday, Dec. 9, at Washington, 1:00 PM
Week 15: Sunday, Dec. 16, Denver, 1:00 PM
Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 23, NY Giants, 1:00 PM
Week 17: Sunday, Dec. 30, at Cincinnati, 1:00 PM

I'm so f'ing tired of having to play the Broncos in Denver every f'ing time. The early bye is BS and so is playing the Ravens twice in a 3 week span. It must be nice to get that late bye every year like the Pats do.
