Oh, gosh, SteelCity. The Patriots have cut loose or lost lots of players since 2001 - and still were able to hand the Steelers their lunch several times. Were you one of those folks who paid for their hotel reservations in New Orleans ? The Steelers have been pretty sensible about not overpaying a lot of players, too. It finally worked pretty well for you folks, I think !!

We'll see you next fall. It will be interesting what you think then.

Cheers.

p.s. Don't worry about us. We'll do just fine !!

Look, trollboy, I didn't say they weren't losses, they just aren't catastrophic and we have plenty of time and money to make some moves ourselves.

Move along.

Nah. It's a move they would have preferred not to make but did because their principles told them they had to. Had the money been right on both sides, AV would still be here and nobody would be saying he's a stiff, traitor, douchebag etc. That is a cold, hard fact.

Like I said, there will come a time next year when this move will be put to the test. It won't be in March, when his contributions to the team can be dismissed out of anger or by simply being cavalier.

If we sign someone who can make big kicks in big games and isn't a chronic choker it was a good move. An excellent move. If we hitch our wagon to someone who turns out to be a Doug Brien type then it's going to cost us. It really is that simple. Either way the answer won't come now.

I don't know what to say..... you are actually acting as if these losses aren't a big deal. You just lost 3 of your core players. You no longer have 3 of the more clutch performers to rely on.

Don't be shocked when you lose those close games that you always used to win. I'm no patriot fan but I respect their organization and their team. And I don't see how anybody can think losing these guys is ok.

Do you really think givens isn't a big deal? I think the guy is a heck of a posession receiver.

That 34 year old LB you speak of is a terror as a situation pass rusher. How many sacks did he register against the Jags? 3? 4?.... yeah... he's real washed up.

And how can you minimize your kicker? That's just insane.

Steel- you picked a pretty bad day to drop by. It's pretty much hysterics all around.

actually, the word is "opinion".. plus, you just lost your #2 WR, your #1 RB, you have no QB.. in all fairness, you douches lost 3 playoffs games this season... just shut up, your team sucks.

And you can expect problems now.

I for one think they are big losses, but I am not ready to jump off a bridge. It's not like we are going into the season with a 46 man roster. We have plenty of money and between now and the start of the season we'll make more changes.

Judge it then.

BTW, bad day to drop by with your 'oh gosh' routine, but I don't think you meant to be malicious.
