But if he runs and gets to the second level, watch out. This could be a closer game then a lot of people think.

Ben plays with a lot of injuries.. like the time he had his nose broken.. kept playing..

whereas.. like in chicago… the QB hurts his finger and comes out.

heck even Colt McCoy tried to keep playing saying to the coach he’s fine..

as for the guy way up in the comment section about placing a grand on Broncos.. yeah.. you got money to burn… or just plain a ‘gambler’… Hope you have money for the kids school meals..your mortgage.. your car payment, your internet bill.. then again.. hope you don’t pay your internet so we don’t have to read your stupid posts

thanks for you input. now we see things for how they are. enjoy your week off and try not to tape our practices (or any teams for that matter) with this time to rest… do the right thing.

but then again youre all from Boston. a town known for integrity and honesty… hope you understand sarcasm.

The Steelers barely (8 points) beat NE on your turf with a healthy Roethlisberger. They just barely beat the likes of powerhouse Cleveland, and this time, you would face NE at home, where your guys have had just SO MUCH success.

Enjoy it while hes playing.

I am not sure what to think about Ben’s statement. The high ankle sprain has kept more than a couple players in this league, out of more than one game this year alone. Also his history of playing injured is real, and makes him a warrior. Does, or has he embellished here and there, maybe, I cannot be sure. That being said, he is still the toughest QB in the league and one of the best also. I would take a tough player that comes to play week in week out, and is capable of winning the big game, over most of the so called elite QB’s that have great numbers but cannot get to or win the Big game. That is after all what the game is played for. Even the great Dan Marino, got to but could not win the big game. No doubt he had more talent than Terry Bradshaw, but Bradshaw played huge and came through in the big game like no other. YOU DOUBTERS AND HATERS SIT BACK AND SEE HOW MANY MORE TIMES BEN DOES THIS, BEFORE HE HANGS UP HIS CLEATS AND YOU IMBECILES HAVE LITTLE OR NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. That, ( you mental midgets being silent) will be a great day for humanity, also anyone who has the brain capacity above that of a gnat.

Go STEELERS the Quest for 7 has begun.

*******************************************

Kinda a blanket statement there from a NE Homer.
Remember, it wasn’t Dennis Dixon and/or the Steeler Offense that had the primary role in defeating our Pats earlier this year, it was the PITT defense and alot of press coverage and pressure on Brady.
If BB/Obrien doesn’t account for that and make the necessary adjustments, we’ll be in for another long afternoon should Pitt come Foxboro.

You bet there is a BIG drop-off from Dixon to Ben…..but the Steelers are a well balanced club with an evil defense and can give the Pats mucho trouble

That being said, come playoff time the guy is money, and the stillers are fortunate to have him.

I agree with your list I just want to clarify something: Timmons’ year wasn’t so great because he played OLB for several games. But don’t be fooled: He’s elite. He was the best ILB in the league last year, which is why their Run D was so potent.

Blockers could not get off of him when they made it to the second level. Most of the time, they couldn’t even get on him, so he would end up making the tackle.

Yes, except that the MRI confirmed a high ankle sprain, which is possibly the most nagging of all injuries.

prett ysure there are multiple users who have commented here that are not Steeler fans. And what about defending your opinion, compared to an idiotic statement, is biting? You sound like a 12 year old behind the monitor. Hate to burst your bubble but not all of us are yinzers in Pittsburgh and are actually more educated than most outher cities in this country. #Pitt, CMU, Duquesne, etc… get on our level you worm.

I don’t think he needs to considering how high ankle sprains work.

If a player suffers one in game one, he normally sits out for 2 weeks, comes back for one half, sits out another week, plays a game and a half, re-aggravates it…plays the rest of the season at a diminished capacity.

It’s the most nagging injury.

It’s clear that it’s affecting his play, too. He was in the midst of a gem in the first game against Cleveland, and then he got injured and came back and put too much air under his passes.

Ben overthrows Wallace on the deep ball a lot, but he normally nails the 20-25 yard strikes with impressive precision. He’s been overthrowing those every time now.

What has Mike Tomlin ever done as a head coach to get all this recognition?
——

For starters, how about 4 playoff appearances in his first five years, including two Super Bowls…

Ben’s method is being such a drama queen cry baby that if he was hurt (by pro football standards) everyone will just think it is more limping for the cameras.

quit smoking sherm I believe its bad for your health. Tomlin isnt going anywhere anytime soon. You heard that hear definitely not for the first time. And quit saying you heard it hear first. It makes you sound like a repetitive toolbag.

Great QB no doubt, but such a drama queen.
