    Good, I hope he plays and when he goes to wind up for a pass... BOOM!! Mr. Sizzle is holding his arm in his hand with a grin.

    EDIT: Knowing Sizzle though he will put it in his fridge next to Ben's ass.

    I get the feeling he'll play, but will be ineffective due to a really beat up o-line.

    I think he will play. He says it will only come down to arm strength and he's already prepared to wear extra kevlar padding

    Per Roethlisberger, the decision will be based on his arm strength and only his arm strength because he isn’t currently having any other problems that will keep him from playing.

    I still think he's not playing.. In fact, he's telling reports today that he still has significant pain and not much arm strength.

    I just can't help but think back to the SF game last year.

    My gut tells me he won't, my head tells me will....

    Of course he's telling them that!! It wouldn't be his typical "look at me fighting through the pain to play" if he told the truth about it. You do know he milks the media so it makes him look more heroic don't ya?

    Case in point:

    One report he says this:
    Per Roethlisberger, the decision will be based on his arm strength and only his arm strength because he isn’t currently having any other problems that will keep him from playing.



    Then, in this one:
    Roethlisberger said "there's always a chance" he could play against the Ravens but isn't sure his injured arm will cooperate. When asked if the issue is pain or arm strength, Roethlisberger said "both."


    How can it be "both" in one article and "only" in another? If it's "ONLY" down to arm strength, then pain isn't a factor.

    Totally different scenario. This injury is all about throwing motion AND arm strength. The SF game was all about how mobile he would be in the pocket. He has always been able to beat teams with his arm alone. When it works, that is.

    I gotta agree with nick on this one.

    Yeah, even hurt, he gives them their best chance of winning.

    (Standing upright + medially cleared + pain killers) Season on the Line = Ben Playing
