      It's nice to see some people actually get it. Others? Not so much. I am also glad FUMBLEhall and Wall@SS are both gone. But (and here where the more simple don't get it) the fact that they are gone and the fact that Pgh looks worse than ever are not mutually exclusive events. You see, it CAN be possible that losing the jerks with bad attitudes is a good thing, but the OTHER loss of talent AND the fumbling of the junk additions still make the team worse off EVEN THOUGH losing the jack @sses was STILL a good thing. I know some struggle with any concepts that are more complex than a wet turd, but that doesn't make them untrue.

      Loss of malcontents = good for locker room chemistry.

      Loss of other talent + moronic signing of rubbish = make the team worse.

      I know to the slower of wit, they can't grasp that both these statements can be true at the same time. They are simply not mutually exclusive.

        Having both of those guys didn't keep Ben healthy over the last two years...having both those guys didn't help us win a SB...

        If Ben can stay healthy, the Steelers can be contenders...
        Shhhhhhhhhh. Don't deal in logic or reality. Some have trouble grasping those things.

          TOTALS:

          I wonder if those #s can help out a crappy, bad attitude and lack of effort? How do those #s help a GIANT smile after dropping an easy TD pass? Or, not bothering to bend over for a low pass? Have you guys ever played sports?

              You think that is all there is to it? Let me ask you: On all of Terrell Owen's teams, who had the most TDs on those teams as well? Is that all there is to the story, or didn't he single-handily ruin almost every team he was on? So I guess he was an over all positive for every one of his teams, since scored the most TDs, right? 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?

                Where was the team chemistry problem in 2011,2010,2009? Wallace was a member of the team in those years we had two back to back 12-4 seasons and a Super Bowl birth.
                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.

                        Not unless they also change the way they play offense, and what the #1 priority on offense is.

                        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.

                          Actually, they'll be better than ok.

                          They will, in fact, be better than 2012.

                          Forget that Harrison is gone.

                          Never mind that Sanders could be a Patriot.

                          It's not a problem that Willie Colon has left.

                          Or Keenan Lewis.

                          Or Ryan Mundy.

                          You see... the thing is, we'll be better because we'll have 'chemistry'.

                          Remember, people, that the big evil baddies, Mike Wallace & Rashad Mendenhall are GONE. It's happy days, rainbows & unicorns in the land of Pittsburgh.

                          the 'bad seeds' have been removed, and there are posters on here that guarenteed, GUARENTEED, that the Steelers will be better next season without them.

                          Personally, Chadman is looking forward to 2013 with unbridaled enthusiasm now that we 'got rid' of those heathens.


                          Wait... hang on... those same posters are now the ones complaining that the Steelers are not doing well in Free Agency... like the Steelers were expected to remove the evil doers & replace them with high priced FA's... maybe that guarentee isn't worth all that much after all.

                          In hindsight, it'd sure be nice knowing Wallace & Mendenhall were on the roster in 2013...
