well umm, yes, really....

if we didnt, we probably go in a different direction at qb for the niner game. if we were looking big picture, we wouldve come up with a better game plan (we only had 10 days) to beat them and be in better position to win the division and the #1 seed. instead, i think we got a little short sighted and said &quot;who gives us a better chance to beat the niners through the air?&quot; 
otherwise, why risk further injury to your star qb against a team you know you cant run against?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Could be a closer game than people think, Polamalu is the key as they use him as an extra LB coming off the edge, and will employ all manner of exotic blitzes. McGahee is another key for the Broncos - i think that one match decides it, if they keep it close....its coming down to a big run, a key first down, or forced turnover.

I&#039;m guessing a close game, until Rothlisberger completes 2 or 3 deep and extends the lead forcing Tebow to have to &quot;turn on the magic&quot; late - which has been missing of late.]]></description>

This is the right move on many fronts, primarily from a medical standpoint. That said, it does go a long way towards demonstrating just how well run an organization the Steelers are. And this is coming from a Ravens fan! See you guys in Baltimore on the 22nd!

See you on the 15th actually...cincy beats the texans. DUH]]></description>

@ randomguy9999

No they don’t need CB’s but they will need safeties (the position Clark plays) to load the box. He’s the leading tackler on that team. Denver is #1 in rushing and his presence will be missed when Denver runs the ball 15 straight times.

		<description><![CDATA[honestly why would the ravens fear the steelers they have dominated them this year. I can assure you I would gladly welcome the opportunity to watch them get beat again. steelers do not worry me. Qb is banged up the oline still sucks and no one can take out Vontae Leach. Expect ray rice to run all over your team again. Assuming this team even make it out of denver.

Cheers!]]></description>

Yes, and even at that I always liked him. Tuff guy. We love our Steelers, but its hard for me to say Roll Tide and you know why.
Oh well I&#039;ll say it for you my freind, just don&#039;t tell any of my family.
We can be freinds always, except for the third week end in October!  Ha!]]></description>

Ryan has to be concerned about the big picture, and he should not be involved in the decision.  Steelers did the right thing, taking it out of his hands.

I&#039;m pretty sure there are some that will probably disagree, but, try putting yourselves in his shoes, and go through what he went through back in 2007..........I can only imagine it wasn&#039;t an all to pretty sight for him.

		<description><![CDATA[Guys, ignore caseyanthonymunoz. He wouldn&#039;t care if Ben had a broken back. He&#039;d still be on our threads making rape-drama queen rants. Even when his own team manages to back into the playoffs, he&#039;s still Steeler obsessed. 

@medtexpack ...

Fans can say what they like, but I doubt the Steelers are taking the Broncos for granted. They watched last year&#039;s Seattle/Saints game.

Anthony Madison is an Alabama guy! Roll Tide!!! :D]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steelers fan and I dont see any praise here... it was a no brainer and I didnt think under any circumstances he was going to play at all. Tomlinson is a very good coach and not beccause of a decision on him playing Clark or not.. he is a stand up guy and I love him being our coach and hopefully just as long as the previous two before him.  

Clark plays hard and from previous comments made about him hitting... Is funny to me and how this goes.  I was watching Bears game and on a play that happened to catch my eye was a play in which Minnesota WR caught the ball.. B Urlacher dropped his helmet and hit the Minnesota WR in the head with his and had two steps beofre landed blow.  Even showed it on replay... commentators didnt say a word about helmet to helmet hit...no flag no sportcenter highlight nothing at all..I dont personally care to be honest but it is funny to me if that hit would have been plastered 100 times to start the morning on ESPN or THIS SITE...People would be calling him all kinds of stuff.   Goes to show you that the MEDIA(PFT is included) and what the media chooses to show you is what becomes everyones perception. Should be a good game on Sunday and HOPEFULLY on to Baltimore for a rematch !!! Peace]]></description>

He told Clark to prepare for the Patriots next week, like the rest of the team.

No need to worry about Tebow and his disciples.

Somebody better alert Clark that it&#039;s a trick!  The Steelers will be going to Baltimore next week!

		<description><![CDATA[1)  Wonder what all the Ravens fans will do w/ themselves this weekend?  They&#039;ve had this weekend penciled in for attending a Ravens game for the last handful of years :)

2)  I actually think the Steelers will be in trouble this weekend.  They are so injury-riddled.  They have NOOOOO shot at getting past the Patriots or Ravens as it stands.  Those teams are just too tough for us this season.  Oh well, at least we have next season to look forward to.]]></description>

If Clark was Tom Brady, the Pats fans would demand game be moved, hell Goodell would move it for Brady.


If Clark was Tom Brady he would be married to Gissele, have a contract with Uggs and Toothlessberger would be on the bench

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with all the Tomlin comments. Guy is a class act. However, Ryan Clark&#039;s willingness to play in the match says a lot about the mindset of football players. It shows the huddle NFL has to go through to protect players from themselves. And it certainly goes a long way to discredit the claims by ex-footballers that they were unaware of the dangers of the sport.]]></description>
