Sane reason you are seeing so many folks pick SEA to win the division .
I think we win the division, but I'm on the fence whether we win this game, considering our lackluster starts and the turmoil we're going thru as a team.
Turmoil? Bosa holding out is not "turmoil".
I'd say them just trading away Lance coupled with Bosa probably missing week 1 due to a holdout could fall under turmoil.
Nah. If anything they are incredibly stable, and trading Lance only helped solidify that. And it's hard for someone who hasn't been in the office since February to cause turmoil in September.

I agree. Any turmoil is manufactured by the press.

Exactly. I'd even argue that in retrospect the opening of last year was much less solid as clearly the vets weren't all that enamored with Lance's readiness. This isn't to say it was in turmoil then, either; I'm only saying that this year's team seems to be rather rock solid and all in, minus the obvious absentee.

At best Lance would've been the # 2 lol imagine thinking trading away a backup would cause "turmoil"

Dang, opening weekend is already here. Purdy, CMC, Deebo, Yuk and the offense are good to go while Shany with 2 weeks to prepare for this game. It will be Interesting how he will attack and protect our QB with some question marks with our line. Defensively, not having Bosa will hurt and I just hope that Drake, Clelin and the guys can generate enough pressures there. Let's see how Wilks attack this first game. Let's go!

They got Watt and Highsmith. The O line will be tested big time

Ok
Haha. Turmoil is fair. It's been rough. But not backbreaking in the end because of the rest of the strengths of the roster still.

No not at all. But now that they are in an area where arguably their best player has a good chance of missing games due to a holdout and it could feasibly impact their ability to retain talent going forward, it's certainly not ideal. Let's hope it works itself out for both sides

It'll probably end up OK in the end. But right now certainty sucks. Hargrave, Ferrell, AA and Jackson are just going to have to step up big.

Reading about the PIT defense, there are high number of new starters.
https://triblive.com/sports/in-2nd-year-as-coordinator-teryl-austin-adjusting-to-new-faces-throughout-steelers-defense/
Depending on the package, the Steelers could have half a dozen starters on the field for the Sept. 10 season opener against San Francisco who weren't around in January when the 2022 season concluded against Cleveland.
Cornerback Cameron Sutton, inside linebacker Robert Spillane and strong safety Terrell Edmunds left in free agency. Inside linebacker Myles Jack, slot corner Arthur Maulet and rotational nose tackle Tyson Alualu are gone, too. So is Devin Bush, who lost his job at inside linebacker to rookie Mark Robinson late in the season.
In free agency, the Steelers brought in inside linebackers Elandon Roberts and Cole Holcomb, nose tackle Breiden Fehoko, cornerback Patrick Peterson, safety Keanu Neal and slot corner Chandon Sullivan. The draft produced second-rounders Joey Porter Jr. at corner and Keeanu Benton on the defensive line.
It's easier to count the returning starters on Austin's unit: defensive linemen Cameron Heyward and Larry Ogunjobi, outside linebackers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith and free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Cornerback Levi Wallace, nose tackle Montravius Adams and strong safety Damontae Kazee also could return to starting roles they served for portions of the 2022 season.

I think the duo of Hargrave and AA alone would be causing OLs a lot of trouble
