    If anything that makes this game even gloomier. His numbers that day:

    56.8% Comp. 3 INT 1 FUM 0 TD.

    If that was with a broken foot imagine what it would be like if he can't throw.

    Re: Does Ben Play?

    I have believed after seeing the debacle the last two weeks, if he can manage the offense, he will come in to hand off and get the ball out extremely quick...which is what their offense was changed into in the first place. HE was hurt while trying to extend a play.
    If he can lead them to two scoring drives, with one of them a TD, then he might come out and hope the defense can hold them off.
    Against the Giants it took one crossing route, very short pass over the middle to Wallace, who did the rest.
    Any offense in Pitt two weeks ago might have led to a Steeler win.
    A win this Sunday gets them back into the thick of things.

    This game needs to be a 2012 defining moment for the Ravens.

    HE can throw. I am not buying his BS. I read earlier that he just had to "tear the scar tissue" and basically after that his arm would be normal.

    Arm strength will not be an issue, it's not like he's been out for months, it's just a few weeks.

    HE IS NOT PLAYING. I would bet money on it if there were online currency... but there isn't so I won't. ;)

    Had Batch been even remotely competent v. Cleveland, they might have at least started Choo-Choo Charlie and then inserted Ben when the sh** starts hitting the fan. After all, that would maximize the drama (and drama is Ben's homebrewed pain killer).
    They'll go w/ Ben as long as he can take a snap.

    I'd bet a $25 Christmas gift to a Baltimore kids charity with 1 person that Ben does not play. Anyone?

    He was ruled inactive before the start of the game, thus could not come in. Had Batch gone down, it would have had to of been either Hoyer or Heath Miller.

    I see the same thing. The Steelers really have no choice. Batch was putrid last week. If Ben can get the ball 20 yards down field they're going to put him in.
