Not good.

[Edman]

Ben will be done for god knows how long. Byron can't do crap.

Screw that "Style Points don't matter" crap from Tomlin, it's just an excuse to excuse lackluster play against inferior teams. You can't play this bad against any team in the NFL and expect to get far.

I'd like to see him fast talk his way out of this one. Pathetic effort.

[fansince'76]

If Ben's out for an extended period, season over.

[Count Steeler]

And we play the Ravens twice in the next 3 weeks. Just fantastic.

[Steelman]

After what I'm seeing from Lefty. We're screwed.

[katmandu]

If Ben's out for an extended period, season over.He has a that torn rotator cuff that he did not have surgery on this past off season......

[zulater]

He didn't lool like he was in a lot of pain when he was in the tunnell. I'm guessing seperated shoulder. I wouldn't rule him out for next week neccessarily.

If Ben can't go start Batch. Leftwich isn't much. though he did make a couple decent plays.

Always seems to work out that way.

[Boh]

Betting on Ben being fine.

[stillers4me]

$5,000 fine for fake injury because his wife went into labor.

hpe you are right i am also worried about Ryan Clark

[Boh]

Did i hear right during the game he left the stadium?

[steeldevil]

We can only hope

[fansince'76]

Did i hear right during the game he left the stadium?

Yep. He apparently went for an MRI at a local hospital.

[steelreserve]

If he's out for the season, we could probably still end up making the playoffs with 10-11 wins given our weak schedule from here on out. After that, I would not give us much of a chance.

I don't know what all this is about a separated shoulder only keeping you out for a week. Separated shoulder means torn ligaments. That's a month at least.

[steel striker]

i'll hope for the best on this and, it does suck. Let's hope it's just a a/c sprain on the minor grade type.

Ain't no way I want "Botch the throw" to start. Tonight was bad no matter what, but with a week in practice as the guy taking the reps, I'd trust Leftwich over Batch any day.

However, if we can't get that run game revved up again, the FS is right, unless the defense really comes alive.

not in thuis offense. this offense relies on quick release passes and wide receivers getting yards after the catch. leftwich's wind up was such a liability tonight that he was actually giving the chiefs extra time to react to the ball and give our receivers less time/room to get yards after the catch. that release alone will severely hinder us. we dont necessarily need a rocket arm in this offense anymore. that is just a luxury imo

[Count Steeler]

Got to believe Haley will game plan around that long release. Batch better get some reps as well, because if Lefty starts, we know his injury history.

Man, all these injuries are sure frustrating.

[JayC]

no ben means we will get our asses handed to us next week without a doubt. please be okay

[GBMelBlount]

Anyone but Lefty. Please....
