Big Jen Ruled OUT for Sunday!!!

[B-more Ravor]

Show me the OFFICIAL, DIRECT QUOTE from the Steelers that he isn't playing. Or the OFFICIAL INJURY REPORT that says he's out. Otherwise save your electrons, because it's all just speculation, a bunch of folks adding 2 and 2 and thinking they have 4.

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.

JFC, Man. He's Not playing. Looking at the injuries he has sustained, I doubt he plays in the next month.

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.

While I believe that it is a serious injury and it sounds like he'll be out for a few games, that whole risking his life if he plays sounds like a Ben Roethlisbergerism if I've ever heard one. I can already read the heroic headlines when he returns in 2 or 3 weeks. "If you look you can see they have Ben wrapped up like a mummy in reflexive high-vis yellow gauze. Amazing! 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.

why? Ray Lewis is out, Lardarius Webb is out. Neither team is at full strength.

Remember to a couple years ago, the Steelers won games with Charlie Batch and Dennis Dixon at the beginning of the season when everybody thought the day would be 0-4. We still have to play against their defense in their house.

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

we've got the New York Giants, and Denver Broncos at home. I don't think that's an issue right now. we're going to get to see that very soon

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.
