this is it. the final week of the season, and there are still many teams vying for a playoff spot. go cowboys!
Ben Roethlisberger just got carried off the field in a stretcher and it does not look good for him. Steelers are going to have to ride Byron Leftwich now.
[Knock on Wood] They're saying it's a concussion. The first round bye is key. Hopefully, its nothing serious and all will be well by the time we play again. You won't be seeing any knee-jerk reactions from me. I still would have played the starters for a quarter or two despite this being a meaningless game. I can't wait to hear the skepticism and critics berate Tomlin for doing this, though.
Thanks for the update. I agree with Tomlin and think most people won't blame him. For those of us who can't watch the Steelers game, please keep us posted if any more info comes out.
I like Big Ben, so I hope he's ok for his sake. That guy takes such a ridiculous beating week in week out. Just crazy how he's held up so long.
JaMarcus NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why the heck would you float the ball like that when you're in scoring position.
my texans are putting up a good fight against the bears and then I need my boys to whip the Eagles to get in the playoff. Lil Pun want to wager on the game?
Will do. The local news stations and the official radio broadcast have all confirmed the concussion. The neck brace, stretcher and all that was merely a precaution. He's been taken to a local hospital for observation. You definitely get the vibe he's expected to recover fully.
You think the players are making a statement about Herm Edwards? When it comes to effort, I think he's done a good job getting them to play hard.
I don't ever want any player to get hurt. But this has been one of the guttiest regular seasons in Steelers history and it would be a shame if Big Ben was fully recovered for the playoffs. For him to take so much punishment over the season and for the team to be so resilient, but not to get their fair shot at the Super Bowl would be a travesty.
