I'm positive that all of us have our concerns for Ben. What could have been terrible news for him, the Steelers and us as fans turned out to be rather positive for once after his injury.
He now says he feels fine, and not to count him out this week. Watching the footage of him being carted off, he wasn't whincing at all in pain.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ben is on the field Sunday. I guess alot would depend on if he can participate in practice, and how well he feels if he does practice afterwards. Ben may feel that it's not enough for him to be out, with also knowing we desperately need a win, mainly against the AFC to keep their postseason hopes alive.
With taking all that into account, he may also be looking at the fact of having the bye week in his back pocket after the game to heal up. I know for a fact that this game will not be easy without him, and I think he knows this as well.
Landry has made some plays for us in spot duty, but I'm not very positive to feel that he can pull this out. The Kansas City game comes to mind when it comes to this. I know Landry will be in the comforts of home when it comes to this, but what can't be ignored is that Cleveland is the same team that was beaten by Denver by a mere 3 points.
They also went on the road and beat Baltimore in a close game, with the fact that Flacco is a much better QB than what we will have available if Ben doesn't play. Either way, it won't be an easy decision. This may be a tough game if Ben does play, so I'm sure it will be way more difficult if he doesn't.
What do you guys think?
