1) The first 6 games are especially tough (Watson suspension TBA?) Especially if Kenny Pickett is the starter.. Opposing teams will stack and make Pickett prove he can make throws (cont)

2) If Pickett is the starter, you will get a good idea of his qualities early in season...even in the midst of some early season failures
3) If they can start 4-2, they can make a playoff run
4) Miami will feel like #Steelers home game (vacation date)
