Roethlisberger hurting; still feeling effects of hard hit in Ravens game

[one side only]

Heard Ben say on the radio today: "I'm hurting as much today as I was at any point I can think of last year."

The hit obviously affected his performance against the Ravens. If it caries over this week, the Steelers are in serious trouble.

Yepp...If Ben is hurt in any way, the Steelers are completely boned.

I hope it will not affect his performences, but I do not think than the ravens deserved a penalty on this hit.Of course the penalty of Polamalu and Mitchell were also ridiculous.

Shades of being landed on by Tamba Hali during that Monday night game back in 2012. He wasn't right the rest of that season.

I'm sure he's hurting more than Gilbert.

Did the guy that hit him at least get fined?

Yes Upshaw was fined 16K.

Ben was off the rest of the game in Baltimore. I think it had more to do with that hit than Haley missing the team flight. However, I hope Ben is feeling better and he didn't aggravate his ribs.

Aw geesh ! Is this going to be an excuse now the rest of the year ?

Fingers crossed Ben is 100% come Sunday and we can pick up another win.
