The schedule is out – a time of the year when Steelers fans and all fans in the NFL take out the just released slate, read it – and mark what they think will be wins and losses.
The slate for the black and gold is the ‘hardest’ in the NFL according to last years records, but if your scared of that – take a deep breath. The last time the black and gold had the hardest schedule in the NFL was 2008, when they won Super Bowl XLIII.
Not to say it’s going to be that easy. They are going to have to play weeks one through three without leading rusher Le’Veon Bell, who is suspended, and that’s going to put a ton of burden on QB Ben Roethlisberger.
There’s a lot of the schedule to go over, and while it’s still getting cemented in everyone’s minds, today we take a look at the “Top 10 Games On The Steelers Schedule In The 2015 Season.”

I hate to be the bearer of bad news , but after the release of the 2015 schedule , 2015 looks to be one long season for the Steelers . Three of the first four games are against the Patriots , 49ers and Ravens . With the defense being in a state of complete turmoil , and no LeVeon Bell for the first three games , that could not come at a worse possible time . Also , just for good measure , we now have Antonio Brown making threats that hes unhappy and is holding out offseason workouts and possibly training camp . The Steelers already had three strikes against them with the defense , Bell , and Brown , and now with the release of the schedule this is setting up to be a potentially long year . Time will tell .

All true, Dave B — and of all those challenges you enumerated, Butler’s task of getting the reconstructed D to play together as a unit seems the most daunting.
But on a happier note, we don’t have to beat the Patriots, Seahawks, Packers, Colts, Broncos and Cowboys to make the playoffs. We only have to win our division. Of couse, that assumes we can beat the Ravens, Bengals, and Browns. The last odds I saw had the Ravens and Steelers even at 15 to 1 to win the AFC Championship and even at 30 to 1 to win the Super Bowl. Those are better odds than I would give, but professional gamblers apparently believe we have a chance to win our division; and if we do win the division, anything is possible. Not that I find that logic compelling, but after looking at our 2015 schedule, a faint ray of hope is better than none.
