Give me your post-bye W-L predictions. You can give an overall record prediction or break it down game-by-game. Extra credit, give your AFC playoff seeding predictions.

2. In this week’s Read & React, Ryland Bickley and I handed out some midseason awards. I want to hear your answer on a couple of those awards, plus I came up with a few new ones:

Team MVP
Best Rookie
Mr. Consistent — a player who is solid week after week, snap after snap
Sparkplug — this is the player who gives the team a spark. The player that makes the big play when the team needs it or is playing flat
Glue guy — this player may not be the best player, but they do the dirty work and/or rally the team around them. They hold things together.

3. Alright, put your couch GM hat on. With the trade deadline coming up on Tuesday, I want you to give me your best trade proposal the Steelers make before the deadline. I expect this will be dominated by WR trades, but I don’t want you to feel limited to that. If you have a different type of trade in mind, let’s hear that too!

4. Song of the Week: Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf) – Pixies

After seeing a movie recently with this song in it, I’ve been on a Pixies kick this week. This one was always one of my favorites and I’ve listened to it a bunch this week.

Cheers, and enjoy your weekend. Here we go Steelers, here we go!
