Hey I was holding out hope you would to if you had a rapist qb.

The Steelers didn't offer him anything because they didn't want him. He knew nothing about Haleys offense and it took him 3 years to even start to grasp arains offense. Hoyer was the better choice.

Well the Steelers did the smart thing and sat Ben again I have zero faith in batch hopefully brown being back and burress having a week under his belt will help but the defense needs to play just like the first time for the Steelers to win this. I'm not saying they can't but it's going to be really tough.

Yeah I'm losing my confidence in him playing but with him you never know. Either way I think it is a close game. Did anybody read Tue article about ike getting in Smith's head with trash talk.

Brown also and other then Ben he is what drives the Steelers offense.

He hasn't been ruled out yet it really comes down to tomorrow. Why in the world would the Steelers even hint that he is going on Sunday why tip your hand.

They have designed special shoulder pads and rib pads with Kevlar in them so as long as the arm strength is there he is going. The team AMD him have said that's what its about the pain isn't even in the equation.

Are you retarded punished by Cleveland. 8 turnovers 5 in Steelers territory and 20 points.

He felt scorn by the Steelers I guess he thought he was going to start over Ben.

Wow the Steelers opine could look crazy this week. Starks will stay put if colon can't go pouncey will slide to guard legursky will play center decastro will be at guard and foster will be at tackle. Legursky is a better center then a guard but it looks like colon is going to play so pouncey will probably be at center. I'm not sure they should rush decastro back but verything I'm reading he is looking good.

We were talking about this on another board and it wouldn't work for the Steelers or ravens. He is a 4-3 de the only thing he could do in a 3-4 is play olb. It's nor a horrible transition but he would have to learn pass coverage and playing from the standing position. The only time he would be handy is in the dime defense but do you really want to pay a guy for one formation

Also troy is playing brown is playing and I'm pretty sure Ben is playing since his arm and shoulder have responded well to him throwing the past two days.

Ok you went for 400 against SD away and 200 against the Steelers away. The Steelers defense is light years better then the chargers defense plus like I said Lebeau has figured your offense out.

Yes and the Steelers defense can shut down anybody now that it is healthy and Harrison is finally getting into game shape after all the injuries. If you think you are going from 200 yards of total offense and two field goals to 38 points you are crazy.

Yes we lost to Cleveland that sucked but once again without our two best offensive weapons. Also Wallace is laying down trying not to get hurt and is now listed as an alternative starter with Sanders. As long as Ben is in I think we win. The only bright spot in that Cleveland game was we turned the ball over eight times 5 in Steelers territory and only gave up 20 points.

No way those other loses were at the beginning of the year when they were still installing a new offense. Also no Harrison troy Clark and Woodley in those loses. Remind me how awesome did the giants and packers look in the regular season the last two years. The fact is they both got in due to another team royally screwing up in the final week. Getting Ben and brown back is going to be huge. If lefty had brown we would have beat yinz in pgh. Brown and Ben make this offense gowithout them teams can stack the box with no fear so no wonder the game is struggling before they went down the running game was rolling.

Please with this defense and Ben the Steelers won't lose another game all year.

Yeah because he used the broken nose as an excuseto leave the game o wait.

Ben threw yesterday everything was good. Tomlin hasn't named him the starter yet but that probably won't happen until game time.

And you better worry about the Steelers defense because field goals aren't going to win it this week. You better hope flacco can go over 200 and rice better average more then 2 yards a carry. Lebeau has figured out the ravens offense now and it showed last game. Take smith away deep and take away the out pattern and focuson rice and the ravens don't have anybody else that can beat you.

There is nobody Ben fears in the NFL. With ben and brown back the offense will be rolling once again. Our two biggest weapons have been missing and it will be great to get them back.

Good thing big Ben will be in there and not batch. Adams may play its a sprained ankle.

Always have been always will be. Thanks for noticing.

That depends on colons knee but I think it's good. No word on Adams and Gilbert was put on the if today.

Ben can hold his baby most people who have seen him lately say he can move it just fine. Adams isn't out yet and who knows maybe they are forced to start decastro and slide foster out to rt. Decastro has been given the full go I just figured they would work him in but who knows.
