This is wrong – The Steelers will play the Seahawks away, not home and face the Cardinals home, not away.

Another chance to beat the Patriots at Heinz Field…no matter how the season goes, that game is a must-win. I hate the Patriots.

Wrong, We Play The Seahawks in Seatle and the Cards come to Pittsburgh. When We Play the NFC we alt home and away, in 2007 Seatle came to us and AZ hosted us.

I mostly agree with the comments that the Steelers should play at Seattle and the Cardinals at home. but there has been speculation about the Steelers playing the Cardinals in Ireland (and the Steelers will not give up a home game for it) So, the Cards and Seahawks flip-flopped on the Steelers schedule. (And I guess with it, all teams in the NFC West and AFC North will have to flip flop with two opponents). Personally, I think this is BS. When this format was initially announced it was to ensure that EVERY city got to see each team at least once every 8 years. Now, it will be 12 years between the number of times the Cardinals play in Pittsburgh and 12 years between times the Steelers play in Seattle. I’ve seen every play in Pittsburgh, except for the Cardinals. I missed the ’03 game, and that was the first time they visited Pittsburgh since the mid 80′s.

As a Steeler fan, I don’t mind it because we don’t do well in Seattle, and a game in Dublin will be like another home game for us.
