The secondary is garbage. The oline is garbage. Wallace won’t produce at all this year, bank on it.

With Wallace drawing everyone’s attention he can continue to masquerade as a decent WR.

They wouldn’t have scored if the replacement refs were not there and left #82 get away with that push off. The guy got away with that alot in other games to. I sure hope the NFL gets it worked out so we don’t have to deal with the replacements anymore.

Hope it is with Pittsburgh.

Looks like about 13-3 Steeler record to me, including AFCN sweep. Ravens will have to celebrate their “super bowl” wins another year, hope they enjoyed that last year with the gatorade bath for their whining coach.

The team has no running back a weak offensive line and an aging defense that can no longer make up for the most overweight and overrated QB in the NFL.

Flacco and Ravens offense continues to roll right over pittsburgh again like they did last year. I imagin cincy will do the same thing but at least they still can beat cleveland in one of those 10-7 barn burners.

However, his reputation as “a deep threat” is greatly over-exaggerated.
More than 800 of his 1,000-plus yards last season were attained via yards-after-catches. Roethlisberger simply does not throw a consistently accurate deep ball.
Nevertheless, having Wallace on the field will open things up for Antonio Brown, the Steelers’ best receiver.

If anyone thinks the Steelers are going to have a great season with an unhappy #1 receiver, they are sadly mistaken.

Antonio Brown is quite happy, actually.

Either way, it’s pathetic.

Somewhere, somehow, if it’s meant to be, you’ll get a long-term contract . . . but it’ll be the done the right way — the Steeler way.

In their fifth and sixth seasons together, Bradshaw and Stallworth dominated NFL defenses throughout the regular seasons and playoffs for 2 Super Bowl runs. They kicked off that run right after a first-round playoff loss in Denver in 1977, as Bradshaw entered his 9th season and became the league’s best passer after a tumultuous first 8 seasons (personally and professionally), but building on the experience of two prior defensive-driven Super Bowl wins.

Lot of similarities here – the Steelers have seen this entire movie once before.

All this means is that the Ravens CRUSH the Steelers again this year just like last year.

___________________________________

Yes, the Ravens CRUSHED the Steelers in the second game when they scored the go ahead TD with about 20 seconds left. By the way, the Steelers don’t have William Gay anymore so it should be harder to pass against them.

I doubt Wallace gets a long term deal. At some point (maybe not this year) the steelers will probably move Wallace.

Very likely Wallace will tear his hammy in his first practice.

On what do you base this analysis, doc?

Thefact that he has been keeping in game shape by working out during his absence might preclude such an injury. Please enlighten us as to how you came to this diagnosis.

Roethlisberger wont have 2 seconds to find Wallace.

Wallace said “ok you dont want to give me my contract, then Im not taking in part in any offseason/preseason activities” thats why he reported today and not this past weekend as everyone suggested, because then he would have be eligible to be put into the lineup this weekend.

and one other obvious observation..the Steelers dont really seem to mind that he did it this way..this was probably agreed upon back in march when he began the holdout..they were probably expecting him to report today all along.

I expect him to have a fine season, and I even think the steelers will give him the long-term contract now that hes back to work

However, defenses still have to put two men on him purely because of his unmatchable speed and ability to get open deep in enemy territory on any given play. If you were the D coordinator against him, would you risk single coverage ?

@ravenator, tell Ed Reed to refill his Geritol bottle, he’s gonna need it.
