    Yes it is and you just have to know the topics that will get certain posters spun up and the posts flowing.

    I think we'll miss Wallace, but really, we weren't going to pay him that kind of money, so it's pointless to point fingers. We just can't do it. Not with the hefty paychecks Troy and Ben get. Rest of the guys? Good riddance. Willie should never have been extended to begin with. Sanders can't stay healthy. We can find other running backs that fumble at the most inopportune times. I also think we'll miss Harrison, though, his release was just a matter of time. It's rare for a player at any position to last as long as he has.
    The other guy we may miss is Starks. I'm not sold on Gilbert OR Adams at this point.

Funny thing is, no one on any of those teams would agree with that. Was Wallace THAT bad, with his attitude? No, but the point remains: some production isn't worth the overall package if the player hurts team chemistry. I have never seen a team win a championship unless it had good team chemistry. MW did not help, but rather damaged, that end of things. I claimed this long before other players have come out and said the team was not together for the 2012 season. How did I know?
    TO also had the most drops year in and year out too. Wallace may not have had the same amount of drops, but He RARELY fought for a ball like TO did either.

    If we try to score? We'll win.

    If we try to worry about TOP and keeping our alleged #1 defense rested? We won't win 8 games.
    OR if we worry more about keeping hold of the ball and not turning it over. That's why we were 8-8 last year. period. We turned the ball over way too much.

    Injuries hurt our season more than anything last season. We started out slow but regained our postion later with a 6-3 record then the injuries mounted and downhill from there.

    The numbers Wallace produced since he was a Steeler proves he was a productive receiver, some are just pissed he stood his ground and got the money he thought he could get just like Flacco did.
    I look at the bottom line, Wallace and Miller were the main producers on offense, to say he had an attitude is one thing but he put up the numbers and that counts.
    "some are just pissed he stood his ground and got the money he thought he could get..."

    What a simpleton comment. Don't put stupid thoughts that come out of your own head into my mouth. Wallace's actions last year were a cancer to the team and it played out EXACTLY as many feared, including myself. Try arguing with facts without insulting those who disagree with you.

    Football players first, entertainers second. Free agency lets all the media "gurus" dub the new great dynasties, and then the season starts. Pittsburgh, with a little luck and better health, will win again. Miami, Tampa Bay??? We'll see. Wallace is gone; good luck to Mike.

    Wait a minute: This is the same poster who whines when he claims others post stir-provoking topics. So what is one called when they do the very same thing they speak out against? Oh, that's right. Very interesting. It's like the outspoken gay hating Senator getting busted trying to score oral sex in the male bathroom.
