I just realized that for all of the Steelers-based predictions we have done over the past few weeks, there have been none that I can recall about the NFL at large. So, before the season kicks off in 20 hours, put in your predictions for the playoff seedings and records of the playoff teams in each conference!

AFC

1) Steelers, 13-3

2) Patriots, 12-4

3) Chargers, 12-4

4) Texans, 10-6

5) Ravens, 11-5

6) Jets, 10-6

NFC

1) Packers, 13-3

2) Falcons, 12-4

3) Eagles, 11-5

4) Rams, 10-6

5) Saints, 11-5

6) Cowboys, 10-6

Have you ever wondered how it felt to have the dreams you worked so long and hard for go up in smoke and drift away at the hands of a bunch of people who you will never see and who know very little about you? Well, I have, and today I got my answer...

Use this thread to talk about the NIT Championship, the impending Final Four, or the best news of my life!

I'm back! My absence over the past few days was not due to a certain someone's legal troubles(although that certainly didn't help). I have been extremely busy recently with my AP tests less than two months away and a 15-page research paper due in English class. Anyways, I know that many of you are Butler/college basketball fans, so I thought it would be apropriate to have an open thread for the Horizon League Championship game which pits the aforementioned Bulldogs against the evil Wright State Raiders(where the heck is Wright State?). Feel free to ask me any Steelers-related question. I'm over it. Really.

Hello Seminoles Fans! I'm coming to you from the heart of Steelers Nation with a question about one of FSU's many talented alums. The person of which I speak is none other than Rhodes Scholar Myron Rolle. The Steelers failed to reach the playoffs in the 2009 season due to a large number of reasons, most of which will not be discussed here. However, the Steelers' most pressing weakness last year was their secondary. Once Troy got hurt, we were screwed. Our pass D gave away late leads against Chicago, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Baltimore, and Oakland, five of our seven losses(The other two were caused by a horrible offensive effort). Thus, most people have the Steelers going for a DB with the eighteenth selection of the first round. However, this poses some problems for the Black and Gold. The top safety who would be available at 18 is Earl Thomas, who has not had much experience compared to other high draft picks and has significant bust potential. There is only one CB with a first round grade, Joe Haden of Florida. He may not be available when the Steelers pick, and the draft's other CBs are bad value at that slot. That brings me to Rolle. Do you think that he would be available halfway through the second round? Do you think he is worth a mid-first round draft choice? Is he a safe choice? Thank you for your help in this matter; hopefully I will be able to glean a ton of info to share back at Behind the Steel Curtain.

P.S.- Your 200-word minimum idea for fanposts is very interesting.

Well, here it is.

"Excuse me a moment...

…you posted this:

“Minnesota probably should have beaten New Orleans in the NFCCG”

Go back to your blog, sneaky troll.

The hell they should have beat the Saints, the Saints TOOK THE GAME AWAY FROM THEM.

I am getting REALLY IRRITATED at the constant “…yeah, but…” comments from the media and everyone else.

The Saints EARNED the wins they got this season, every single one of them. That comment is the typical sour grapes sound coming from a fan of a team that underperformed at fantastic levels. You’re so mad at your favorite team’s inability to even make the playoffs this season that you want to throw backhanded compliments at the team that DID win it all this year.

STFU & go away, LV.

Irony: An atheist Saints fan.

 This sad display of insecurity was inresponse to an innocuous side comment in my fanpost about the 2010 season opener. I said that the Saints probably shouldn't have beaten the Vikings. Does anyone who isn't enamored with the Saints disagree with that statement? They would have gotten their butts handed to them had it not been for the Vikings turnover orgy. All I have to say is that I can't wait for the Steelers' trip to NO this year.
