After all, interaction was not great, and sometimes you just have to adjust. So I decided to call an audible, and not just abandon the Friday night meeting of the black-and-gold minds.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of six questions, I wanted to focus solely on one question.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll still do the preamble of what you\u2019re eating\/drinking\/listening to, but we\u2019ll focus our attention on the one Steelers question of the week. Don\u2019t worry, most weeks I\u2019ll do a bonus\/extra credit question for fun. With all that out of the way, let\u2019s get to the question!<\/p>\n<p>How have your preseason predictions for the Pittsburgh Steelers changed heading into Week 7?<\/p>\n<p>As for me, the 4-2 record isn\u2019t just where I saw the team at this juncture, even though the wins and losses might have been a little different, but it also tracks with where I see the team at the end of the season. If everything went well, meaning the team got the calls and the ball bounced their way, I said they were a 10-11 win team. If the opposite happened, it was more like 8-9 wins.<\/p>\n<p>The range for this team was never that great, and I stand by both of those \u201cceiling\u201d and \u201cfloor\u201d projections. At the end of the day, I think the Steelers are a 10-win team and make the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>What about you? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n<p>As for what I\u2019m eating, we are having Chipotle for dinner. As for drink, it\u2019s always store bought kombucha. And the music will be whatever the kids want to listen to around the house.<\/p>\n<p>Happy weekend everyone!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last season I did the Friday Night Steelers Six Pack and wondered if it was worth doing further.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1035528,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2055],"tags":[7,6,520,57,2360,426],"class_list":["post-1035527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-pittsburghsteelers","tag-steelers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117494152140312302","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1035527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1035527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1035527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1035528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1035527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1035527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1035527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
