For me, I hope to make the playoffs and hope that we will be a tough out for the other teams, but the most important thing for me is that we know after this season that Kenny Pickett has a chance to be at least a very good QB in this league!

The installation of Kenny Pickett as the starter. He has a 8+ game stretch where he looks like a competent NFL QB.
100 percent agree with last sentence. I’d be happy if Steelers still in playoff hunt with 2 weeks to go as long as Pickett shows promise.Originally Posted by polamalubeast
Win the fucking Super Bowl and piss all over the field.
Tom Brady - career-ending injury: bruised asshole
See you Space Cowboy ...
Progress…
win the SB because if that isnt your goal you have already lost .............
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
It's the ultimate goal of course, but if it's the only thing that makes you happy as a fan(for the steelers), it's not fun!
Return of the passing game
Return of the running game
Return of solid run defense
A good pro bowl caliber QB and wining record and playoffs should be a byproduct of the above
Competitive games, game plans, an offense that has an identity, and solid coaching.
20-0 (channeling my inner teegre)
win a playoff game, kenny pickett wins starting job and improves over theyear

Anything that gave the resemblance of the Steelers having a franchise QB would work for me, even more than going 11-6 with uncertainty at QB.
Other comment for this?
Same as every year for me, making the playoffs is always a successful season, you get bonus football and a chance to win the Super Bowl.
Being a fan is supposed to be fun? I thought it was all about varying levels of anxiety with a lot of yelling, throwing things, and door slamming.
Maybe I’m doing it wrong.
add beer drinking and you have pretty much nailed it!
^it was fun during the dynasty years - they were so dominant that there wasn’t much anxiety involved. 80’s we knew they were mediocre so - no anxiety there either
90’s to now? Lol, I think your doing just fine
idk to me it was the most stressful to watch when we had a SB caliber team. Expectations were higher, so it was much more of a letdown when they lost. The past few years I could say "eh, whatever" if they lost. Though back in the mid 2000's a lost game would ruin my day
Life and raising kids changed my priorities on "my" sports teams years ago. I remember going to bed ticked off back in my 20's and early 30's. Now, I'm over it by time the TV turns off. I got to see them win in the 70s (as a real little kid, 1978 vs Dallas is the first I really remember because I was 10) but watching them win in 2005 and 2008 was a cool, but again my priorities by then made me realize after they won life still went on just the same and work and kids were waiting the next day.
I grew up near Philly (in South Jersey) and loved the Flyers, Phillies and Steelers (could not stand Eagles fans or the team)(I don't follow basketball). So taking my young son to the 2008 Phillies parade was one of the coolest things I ever did sports wise.
Same boat!!
Much more calm after kids. Live in that suburb of Philly theme. Steelers, Phillies, Flyers…not a huge basketball guy. Can tolerate Eagles Fans a little more now with old age but don’t mind seeing them lose. Kids weren’t born yet for the parade but took them to Heinz last year and we all loved it. Expensive as hell but enjoyed every minute and would spend that money again…
I just hope that they all have fun.
lol
I'd still like to see a few fights.
See you Space Cowboy ...

I just hope that nobody gets hurt.
Same here lol. Matter of fact almost all the fights I got into in HS and in my 20's have been about some dude shit talking the Steelers lol. In my 30's and later if we lose I'm just like "damn that sucks", and then onto real life. In my 20's I took pride in being a 'hardcore fan', but honestly I let the results of a meaningless game dictate my mood for entire Sundays which probably wasn't healthy. Didn't help that at the time I was trying to re-adapt to civilian life and was battling depression and alcoholism (gladly got through it with support of family and great friends) but that's another story.

A realistic goal for me would be a 10-7 season and a playoff birth. If Tomlin can pull that off with the O Line we have and losing a franchise QB to retirement, I'm content for this year.
A great year would be a 11-6 season or better and headed into the offseason with a clear choice for QB or, if there is a QB controversy, it's because two QBs have both played very good.
A fantastic year would be a AFCCG. A Super bowl this year is just dreaming . . . but stranger things have happened.
10-11 wins with a playoff win and we know that we have a very good future QB that we can build around for several years would be a great year for me
A playoff Win would be nice...

There's not much difference between your realistic year and your great year. I'll take any of your three scenarios!
see the 1980 Raiders. I think they’re odds of a SB win were 3500 to 1. They just traded Stabler and pickup up an over the hill Pastorini and bust named Plunkett
