Roethlisberger was Wallace’s number one cheerleader during the off-season impasse. I wouldn’t expect him to turn on the guy. That’s not his style. He generally defends his offensive line and receivers.

But it is what it is. Wallace sat out the whole of training camp and preseason. He’s not going to perform like someone who put in the effort. And the team is going to suffer for it. I love my team win or lose. But I have less patience with prima donnas who put the entire team at risk with their antics.

sixlombardisinyourface: The Steelers are 6th against pass and 9th against the run. Can’t blame the defense…. Holding is on every play so thats just watever. 34-31 raiders won because they were more physical and ben couldn’t produce when nessecary. Remember raiders were without their 2 starting cb’s. Had a safety playing cb and pat lee who was signed off of packers practice squad. Ben stll couldn’t win

Ben should lack confidence in himself. In all 3 of their losses he had a chance at game winning drives. He threw the pick 6 in denver, couldn’t move the ball on oakland wich resulted in a punt with 1:43 left, allowing Palmer to get the GW drive. In tenn he missed an open Sanders after the Timmons int. forcing a punt and couldn’t drive the steelers into FG range on their final drive. They could be 6-0.

Maybe Wallace is putting too much pressure on himself because he’s in a contract year? Who knows? But most players go through some yips in their careers. All that matters is that they pull themselves out.

You can’t blame Wallace, Ben keeps hitting him in a bad place: his hands.

@stoogy, watch the Raiders game again. Big play decided by the replacement refs – McFadden’s long run – Larry Foote was clearly being held and no call, see the stop-motion snapshot. 4th quarter, Antonio Brown goes to the ground after the catch which had the first down and more, rather than try for more yards, game over. And that was with the horrible Steelers D.

I remember in the super bowl Ben threw to Santonio Holmes in the end zone. the ball went right between Holmes’ fingers. on the very next play, Ben threw the same exact pass to Holmes on the other side of the end zone which was caught for a TD. so I believe Ben when he said he hasn’t lost faith in Wallace.

Too bad a lot of steelers fans have lost faith Wallace and laugh at his big contract dreams. he’s still valuable, but if we need a catch, I’d prefer Ben throw it to heath miller instead of Wallace

Stoogy?

Totally appropriate name for your level of posting.

Bozo was already taken?

Steelers are a playoff contender in a surprisingly weak AFC this year.

Mike Wallace continues to be one of the most underrated football players of all time. Awesome speed – which opens up O for Antonio Brown, Heath and Sanders, awesome stats, good teammate, never gets injured…but most people want to dwell on what he is not.

holeinone09: The steelers are are 1-3 on the road they only beat the bengals on the road and thats basically a home game 4 the steelers. how do think that is something to brag about?

Give him some roids. I’m sure that will fix everything.

surprised the classless Ben didn’t throw Wallace under the bus like he has and will continue to do to Haley.

Oh really?? What’s the Ravens record on the road this year? It is not a winning record. They lost to a pathetic Eagles team that just fired their defensive coordinator, and were lucky to beat Cleveland. Now, they are facing mounting injuries. They are about to experience a downward spiral, just watch.

Haters gonna hate no matter what! Reasonable Steelers fans, and I include myself in that group, already know that Wallace doesn’t have the greatest hands. You trolls aren’t saying anything we don’t already know.

Oh and by the way steelersownsyou the raiders will do something that the steelers were not able to do last year and wont be able to do this year and beat the ravens. so you can be thanking the black and silver that weekend.

steelersownsyou: I have not been hiding just been too busy rubbing it in the locals around the pittsburgh area that the raiders beat the steelers. 34-31 remember… the raiders own you buddy.

Heck, at least it helps our Steelers in contract negotiations with Wallace this offseason.

Despite all the drops, Wallace led all receivers with 8 receptions in the game.

Oh really?? The way I saw it, the Steelers won a must win game, on the road, with a number of key people injured and not playing, against a division rival, who had a winning record, and one of the top WRs in the game today. It was a great victory, if you know anything about the game of football.

Ben will keep spreading the ball around, and throwing to Wallace. I don’t understand why he is dropping more balls than usual. It think he needs a couple really good catches to get into the swing of things and get confidence. Not sure if they will keep him next year unless he becomes much more reasonable with his contract demands. But if he keeps dropping passes, he will have to come down on price since other teams may not offer that either.

Another big game this weekend!

greglloydrules. Im sure they are two of the best.. thats why wallace can’t catch the ball and brown fumbled twice in oakland although he got lucky and got the one back. Overrated players on an overrated team.

By: greglloydrules

greglloydrules — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:23:53 +0000

And why shouldn’t he have trust in his receivers? Wallace and Brown are two of the best. Wallace just made some mistakes that I’m sure he will fix. This one of the best 1-2-3 in the league. The third is Heath Miller. One of the most underrated players ever.

These bums lost to the raiders 34-31. tennesee 26-23. Wow the beat a bengals team that hasnt beat them in wat 3 years? Watch them go 1-7 in thier next 8. Three river trash this team is. Lets not talk about them until they can beat an average team let alone a good one. They stink worse then sanders acting.

Had Wallace made just one of those catches I would have lost my fantasy game, so I’ll give him a pass for this week. But on a more serious note, he’s playing his way out of millions of dollars.
