10-6... you call that optimistic? Thats pessimistic! I think if we play like
we should, the only team holding us back is the Jags. The 49ers are a
mediocre team this year and are now picking up their heads after an
embarrassing loss to the Jags. The Titans have just heard bad news about Air
McNair who is predicted to miss 6 weeks. We've got a great shot of doing some
serious damage and turning some heads as well. Stewart had a horrible season
last year, we all know this, but I think he will have his best year yet this
season under this new offense that suits him perfectly. I'm pumped up about
this season as should all Steelers fans. Prepare to get back at all your
friends who tormented you about your team last year, 'cause payback is a bitch!

Tim, I agree with your predictictions... kind of. NO WAY do we lose to Titans at home, and I personally think that we will
upset San Fran. Bingo... 12-4.

10-6??? Bite your tounge/fingers! 19-0, including the SuperBowl! Nuff said!
How can you even say the Steelers will lose a game, any game, until
they do! NEGATIVE WAVES DADDY! The only thing we'll be dropping in
BuffyHo is a stain in Rich Stadium's toilet as a result of their Mecca
wanna-be tail-gate! As for the 40-whiners, I had to stop reading at
that point! Amy's Dad (Tim) doesn't like it when I bang my head on his
keyboard !!!$*SHI.&*^#MUTTHA... *!!%&*@!! Ok, I am fine now **@!!!$%*&!!*
$#* No, really, it's ok.

First, I would like to say that this is the coolest Steelers site I've seen!
The Jack Lambert/Terry Bradshaw pages are excellent! As far as going 10-6 this
year, I think your predictions are right on with two exceptions -- the Steelers
will NOT lose to the Titans in Three Rivers this year and I don't believe that
they will lose to the 49ers, even though it's in San Francisco. That puts them
at 12-4 at the end of the season and right back on track for a solid run at the
AFC championship. I think with the new guys they've drafted and the FAs that
they've signed, the Steelers have filled the holes that left them weak last
year. Look for a resurgence of the old Steeler intensity and a return of
championship football in Pittsburgh!

STEELERS SHOULD GO 14-2, OFFENSE SHOULD BE BEST IN LEAGUE WITH KEVIN
GILBRITE, HE WILL TURN KORDEL INTO QB THAT HE IS ROLL AND RUN. DEFENSE GETS
MORE PRESSURE ON QB WITH DIFFERENT SCHEMES LOOK OUT 14-2, AND GOING TO SUPER
BOWL.
LET'S GO STEELERS

I think Sandy knows what she's talking about... we will go 11-5 in 99. We
CAN'T lose both regular season games to the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans
two years in a row!!!
Go STEELERS!!!

Hey, I love your page. It's the best Steelers page out here if you ask me.
Now, about that 10-6 season... I beg to differ. The steelers will finish
11-5. They will NOT lose to Tennessee at home again this year. The season
finale might actually matter this year, as the Titans are looking kind of
tough. But listen, I live in Nashville, home of the new baby blues, and
I've seen them play Pittsburgh twice (one of these games being completely
meaningless). It's not saying much when your first string beats our third
string. It's not going to happen again. It's just too embarrassing to get
swept by your rival 2 years straight. We WILL beat the Titans at home on
January 2nd. That is a promise. But other than that, great call. I can't wait
for the season to start. My boyfriend and I are planning a trip up to
Pittsburgh to see the Steelers play JAX in October. Can't wait! Keep up the
good work... you are a truly dedicated fan (and webmaster).

It's about time! Last year, I think the Steelers had the toughest
schedule in the NFL. This year, I am only disappointed that they don't
get 3 Monday night games like last year, 'cause those games are really
good for us (nevermind last season's finale... think Steelers vs. Chiefs
for the past few years). For what's it's worth, I would argue it is
more important to win games down the stretch rather than get off to a
good start as D-Dogg suggested. As of recent years, the Steelers just
don't get off to good starts, but they somehow pull it together by mid
season, usually with a big Monday night win. That Falcon game could be
very important! God I love the Steelers on Monday night. Keep up the
good offseason work, Tim.

I concur that we will win at least 10 games this season. Look at what
happened to Dallas. When you have a sub-500 record at the end of the
season, the NFL compensates you with a softer schedule the following
year. Unlike Dallas, however, we only had a few weak links due to injury
that made us so mediocre. Dallas is just old. If we can rally around
this new offense of Gilbride's early in the season, we may be able to
tack on two more Wins. I know Boston is fast, but I would love to see
Torry Holt in black and gold! Go State! Go Steelers!

I think we are all going to be suprised at how good the '99 STEELERS are. I really believe last year was a fluke.
Sure, we have some personnel problems, but a couple of free agent signings (Gandy,Davis), a decent
draft (Boston-please!), and some players stepping up (Vrabel, Blackwell), and we are right back in the hunt. Gilbride
and Kordell might be the most important pieces of the puzzle.
I just wanted to let you know, in my opinion, you have the best Steeler site out there. I enjoy the humor and other
fans' insights. My wife and I are huge Fans originally from (little) Washington, PA, and go to all extremes to see
every game possible even though we moved out of state. GO STEELERS!!!!!

Tim... A 10 and 6 record for our 1999 Pittsburgh Steelers looks and
sounds great, but the chances of that happening are slim and none.
These Steelers have far too many holes to fill and there is no way
they are going to be able to do it between now and September.
As far as the new schedule is concerned, the only freebees are with the
expansion Cleveland Browns. If the Steelers play any ball at all, they
should easily win both games against the Browns. However, after the
two Browns games the rest of the schedule is a toss up. Every other team
on the schedule is easily capable of knocking a knot on the Steelers
head! The recent signings of Wayne Gandy and Travis Davis are very BIG
ADDITIONS for the Steelers and should pay quick dividends for the
team. Unfortunately. on the same day they signed Gandy, tackle Justin
Strzelczyk reinjured the same knee he practically destroyed back in
October. His prognosis is probably out for the year. That is a
devastating injury to an already devastated offensive line! When you
couple that with the fact we have lost Carnell Lake, Charles Johnson,
Tim Lester, and Darren Perry (all of which were starters a year ago),
the Steelers' chances really don't look that good for 1999. My
prediction for 1999 is, at best 9 and 7, but realistically, 8 and 8.

Well, hello again, guys... I can almost smell the crisp cool fall
air (Sheesh! Summer is not here, and already, I want it to be
over!!!). Anyway, I am getting pumped! As soon as that
schedule comes out... the juices start flowing!
I agree with ya... 10 wins are not out of the question!
My Prayers to Sandy's Dad.
Take Care,

In my opinion, the Steelers have an ample group of young, talented wideouts just
itching to unleash their skills. You can't really blame anyone on last year's
demise... it was a team loss. These WR's are good. To it, you add competiton, let's
say David Boston, and suddenly you have a hell of a group of young wideouts who ALL
want to get paid and have something to prove... not only to the Steelers, but to
the league. We all know that if they all play well, many of them will leave via
free agency. But if we can get something done next year while they're still
together... WATCH OUT! These guys are athletic and will snare all of Kordell's
passes. They key is a STRONG start. With confidence, this team will go a long
way. Coupled with a young, big, fast, smart defense, a rested & regrouped OL, and
KORDELL STEWART, there is no doubt in my mind this team will redeem itself. We
got to be believers.
Positive feedback from the fans is very important to
these players. They need us and we need them. They don't critisize us, so we
shouldn't critisize them. They're human. If you want to watch robots, rent Terminator.
Go Steelers 99'
