When the Pittsburgh Steelers successfully survived what was dubbed as their toughest schedule in 2008, the slate of games scheduled for 2009 will come as a relief to the team. This year only 5 opponents in the schedule made the playoffs a year ago however, the Steelers do have some challenges lying ahead of them.
Listed below are key challenges before the Steelers:
– The Steelers are scheduled to play the rival Baltimore Ravens twice
– The Steelers will have 2 tough games early. Pittsburgh will play host to the Tennessee Titans in the season opener on September 10 and then travel to play the Chicago Bears in Week 2. The Titans-Steelers game should be a battle of 2 playoff contenders in the AFC. And the Chicago Bears will prove to be a tough competition with the addition of Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler
– The AFC North division which lost badly last season is expected to pose a tough competition this year as Baltimore is looking to unseat Steelers.The Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns aim to close the gap after a pair of awful 4-win seasons
Pittsburgh Steelers 2009 – Roster analysis
The Pittsburgh Steelers announced their regular season roster in the first week of September. The team reduced their games on the roster to 53 by releasing 21 players and placing another on the Reserve/Injured List to reach the NFL-mandated 53-player limit. Fans will be disappointed to know that the 6th-year veteran Sean McHugh had to be placed on the team’s Reserve/Injured List since he injured his knee during training camp.
The Steelers final roster includes 3 quarterbacks, 4 running backs, 6 wide receivers, 3 tight ends, 9 offensive linemen, 7 defensive linemen, 8 linebackers, 10 defensive backs and 3 specialists (kicker, punter and long snapper).
According to Coach Mike Tomlin, cutting the Steelers’ roster to 53 players was the first step to building a team he hopes can contend for another Super Bowl title. But it is not the last step. He predicted more cuts throughout the season, depending on the performance of the players.
Now, that the Steelers roaster is in place, the fans should be ready to cheer the team. Get set buy Steelers merchandise in large numbers and show your avid support for the legendry team.

This is what the NFL has so far http://www.nfl.com/preseason/story?id=09000d5d807905b8&template=without-video&confirm=true
how would losing to college teams boost their confidence
Last year it was on April 15th; but I remember the NFL had delayed it about a week or so for some reason. So, it usually is around the first week in April.
LOL those guys need to get a life
after the draft in April
lol Nice.. a lot of Bronco fans would be happy with 8-8 I’m sure. However I think that it will take 11 games to win our division. I really think that every team will be improved… Besides Oakland lol … I’m not sure if Denver will be improved either though… I just gotta wait til the draft before I decide that… But the Chargers won’t lose 8 games again this year I’m sure. It’d be nice though lol
Urban legend. The NFL uses a complicated formula of wins and loses from the previous year for each division to set the schedule. Teams also play teams in their own division more often.
hell ya bro!!
if Cutler one of us now, then u a Chi town Boy now lol welocome to da brotherhood playa lol
after the draft/
jay cutler owns blue lube! lol very creative funny as hell!
