What would be a disappointing season for you?

Rosters are pretty much set except for guys getting cut in camp so we have a decent idea of who will be on the team. Honesty anything less than an NFCC game appearance would disappoint me. I think DG has put together the best roster we've had this century, and with subpar talent we've gotten to the divisional round the last two years. My only concern is Shula and Rivera's late game chokes.

I'm going to be royally pissed if we can't beat Seattle in the playoffs.  I don't expect a Superbowl win this year but I do feel we need to beat Seattle if we are going to show we are a team to take seriously.

Not to turn this into a Rivera bashing thread but I'd be the first to say he has no excuse this season not to make the playoffs. We need to go further than the divisional round we've been going the last two years. We have more talent than most teams have, time to do something with it.

Not progressing farther than we did last season. I'm hoping for at least the NFC championship game. That probably means beating either Green Bay or Seattle to get there, but I think it's might just be possible if we can rack up enough wins to get a few playoffs games in Charlotte.

Let's see, what would disappoint me about the upcoming season. Cam taking a step back. Stewy only playing a dozen games would be disappointing.But the one thing that would disappoint me? Only playing 12 games. Now that would disappoint.

    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place. 
    • Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
    • So I was curious and remember seeing a tweet but here are Young’s numbers vs Strouds number since that time  Stroud since week 3 2025. Bryce since coming back off the bench and playing in Denver
