Steelers At Risk Of Losing Mike Wallace

[Aso]

You gonna make the same argument for the Giants? They got just as many breaks in their game vs the 9ers as the Pats vs the Ravens. Giants backed into the playoffs with 9 wins in a terrible division while the Pats won 13 games. Who really got luck, dont matter because at the end of the day they were able to outlast the other team no matter how ugly it was.

This is why we should have 30 teams, 6 divisions, 5 teams per division. The league is too watered down as well as the divisions. The moment an 8-8 team let alone a 7-9 team wins their division the league should've taken a step back and re-thought everything. It bother me when a 8-8 team makes the playoffs as a division winner. Wildcard ok, but a division winner at 8-8 or 9-7? Shouldn't happen often but it seems like it happens every season. /thread derailing rant

It's always happened, even in the 80's when you had 28 teams.

There's always going to be a shitty division each year where a 9-7 team scrapes through.

at the end of the day.. I wasnt making any compare contrast. I was talking about the Pats- period

who really got lucky ?.. the Giants beat the Pats twice,..no luck was involved for the Giants..but it has nothing to do with the Pats not making it back next year..I really dont expect the Giants to either, but again, I wasnt talking about them.

it has nothing to do with the number of teams..it has to do with free agency

Dont care, its all relevant. If you are gonna discredit the Pats for catching huge breaks that got them to the SB then do the same for the SB champs. Ted Ginn plays in the NFC CC the Giants dont have a chance at beating the Pats twice. Lemme also add in the fact that the Giants were "lucky" enough to face a Pats team, on both occasions, that didnt have their 2 headed TE monster healthy.

Luck comes in many shapes and forms and the Giants got their share of it.

Luck is a huge part of the NFL whether anyone likes it or not. You can use this as a reason to discredit a team but if you do that you can do it with every NFL team. Now saying that a team had an easy schedule etc., is a different discussion.

whats your point? i was off by a game in the Patriots demise.. I predicted a loss in the Super Bowl, I was right. Thats all I care about LOL

For a 1st rounder, you do it. Wallace is a proven NFLer ... everyone drafted in round 1 this year has proven nothing. Admittedly, you don't give up a top-5 pick for Wallace, but everything after 5 is a crapshoot.

[KnightNoles]

We better be getting Blackmon for Wallace....

I dont disagree

they got lucky as heck this past year..they got every break possible in the AFC championship game..it wont happen again..i'm not saying they arent good and didnt earn it..but its way too hard to get back, theyve beaten the odds enough already and now its time for tides of change,...they will not make it back next year

I have yet to see you make in intelligent post on this site.

He'll work with the team IMO.. he wants to be a Steeler.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

If you're a team at the back end of the first round, you take Mike Wallace, give the first, and walk away strutting. Patriots or Ravens...they'd be silly not to, especially the Patriots. Wallace is the exact type of player they NEED. They couldn't stretch the field on ANYBODY last year.

I just need to be right..theres absolutely nothing wrong or false with what I said.
