Geez, dude, you really need to chill.
Mike Tomlin said "he's out". Is that good enough?

Wow. And so I take it that you also believe that we never landed on the moon and that Obama is not a US Citizen. Right? Because hey that is all just speculation and magic camera tricks.

Another thing, as a fan base, are we that afraid of Roethlisberger and if he is playing or not? Ravens swept them last year and i have no doubt we'll do it again this year. With or without their starting QB.
Hope ben heals well and comes back when the doctors okay it. Personnally, I wanted to see a game aginst ben, clark,troy and mendenhall.Really upset that the chiefs had the game and let the refs and penalties snatch it from them, they are worse then the raiders.Ravens have had some great games against the steelers and I hope we see one sunday night.

He's risking his life in pursuit of another ring! He's a hero, ladies and gentlemen." I'm not really buying the possibly severing his aorta bit until I hear a trainer or doctor saying "yep, that can happen sometimes."
Usually, I would agree with you, but dislocated ribs are nothing to play with. Ben's probably at a disadvantage, being overweight.

No it doesn't. It's still Ravens-Steelers. Best rivalry in the NFL.

cause i want to see how the ravens matchup against a playoff caliber team after the beat down they took in houston...i dont think with ben out this is a guaranteed win but it makes a significant difference

Well, as Tomlin said, Hines Ward and Derrick Mason aren't playing either, but it doesn't matter who is in the uniform. It's still the Steelers and the Ravens.
