Roethlisberger Tears Meniscus

[Ewa PGH Fan]

True.

Ya know...even with Landry starting I'd give PIT a little more than a snowballs chance in hell this week if the DEF was playing worth a damn.

My point is they have more issues that just QB.

True. They need Heyward back! Is Shazier and Williams both out this week? If so, who's playing RILB???

Steelers seeding seems to be in trouble now. Don't have the faintest clue who could get the 2 seed in the AFC now. Could just about be anyone at this point.

More than seeding imo...using 6 week time table, they would play NE, Bye, @BAL, DAL, @CLE, @IND...probably would lose 4 of the 5...so maybe 5-6 with NYG, @BUF, @CIN, BAL, CLE to close it out.

I think they would miss the playoffs.

Hope he recovers soon. Ben makes the Steelers a fun team to watch.

Yep...Heyward is probably not going to play until BAL at the earliest...Shazier is a maybe at this point, but I can see them giving him another week and bring him back after the bye also. VW? I have not heard yet, I know he came out of the MIA game and did not return, but I haven't seen him on any injured list.

If he can't go, Matakevich will go.

He just killed both of my Fantasy teams. i was 5-1. damn it.

Yeah, I haven't heard anything about VW either way. You'd think that since he left the game and didn't return there would be some word on his status!!!

Nope.

If its only 1-3 weeks, they should be fine. Down year for the Bengals it seems and Ravens aren't good

just heard 4-6 weeks

From what I understand the team doctor at half time told him that he could still finish the game without hurting his knee anymore than he already had. Some doctors have come out this week and said that was terrible advice that he should never have listened to as he absolutely could cause more damage and maybe did. That could explain the extended timeline now compared to what most were saying in the beginning.

Now they are saying Big Ben might have hurt himself worth by playing against Miami

Like I said... Very fortunate to have the bye week in week 8. They'll get destroyed by the Pats next week and hopefully get Ben back after the bye for the Ravens.

Looks like Joe may miss this Sunday also, along with Suggs, Doom, Smitty and Yanda....
Hopefully we'll both have everyone back after the bye for the best rivalry in football....
Do you really think Ben can recover from that type of surgery that fast ?
First reports were 4 to 6 weeks.

This douche nozzle is not about to be outdone by Burfict.

Media will speculate all they want... But when I hear Ben say that it all comes down to pain tolerance then I know that tough SOB will be back on the field asap. Shit, he came back from the tear and played an entire half on the knee.

Thankfully it was only a meniscus trim, and not a full repair. The only thing that concerned me was they had to do some cleanup from his tear last season. Only further adds to the discomfort.

I don't know I think they can beat both CLE & IND. BAL is a toss up but I give BAL the advantage because they're home. Rough stretch good luck.

What a Bust he has been in the NFL.

They could beat CLE and IND, but not the way the DEF is playing on the road...if that doesn't get fixed ASAP...Steelers will be one and done even if they do make it....maybe two and done if they win the DIV...I can see them winning a home playoff game vs BUF, OAK or KC.
