    On The Steelers: Keeping Big Ben upright is critical

    This time, Ben Roethlisberger walked off the field and missed only two plays after he was hit low and late by Seattle defensive end Raheem Brock.

    What if he does not get up the next time? If that happens -- and the odds seem to rise with every change in their offensive line -- the Steelers could look a lot like the team they play Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts.

    The Colts went from Super Bowl contenders to losing at home to the Cleveland Browns without Peyton Manning. With Manning in the lineup, the Colts would be favored against the Steelers and not double-digit underdogs.

    The Steelers would like to think they have more going for them without Roethlisberger than the Colts without Manning, such as a defense, and they did show some of that last season when they began 3-1 without their starting quarterback. However, what if that were Charlie Batch, 36, taking the pounding instead of the bigger, stronger and younger Roethlisberger?..............

    Excuse my French, but NO SHIT!!!!


    You mean keepin the 100 million dollar QB upright might help the Steelers win the game?

    Golly what will they come up with next?

    I know, stopping the other team from scoring will help us win as well!

    What......40% of the Steelers starting O line were undrafted free agents and there is concern about pass protection and running game?? Same old story for the last 5 seasons.

    IN OTHER NEWS.......THERE IS UNREST IN THE MIDDLE EAST. and in weather...periods of daily sunlight, followed by 100% chance of darkness in the evening.

    Stay classy Squirrel Hill.
