Ben sprained MCL out 4 weeks

Nah Coach is right... if it is an ACL Ben should just rub some dirt on it, tape it up, and quit whining... He will be suited up for Thursday :)
 
In the past Ben has been a bit of a drama queen when hit. I'm not saying it doesn't hurt. I'm saying his initial reaction scares fans and many times he's fine.

he stayed down it was obvious no drama was involved on this occasion
 
Y'all worried about Vick getting the ball to the WRs but want to sign Tebow. Seriously??
 
Pittsburgh sports teams with two bad knee injuries recently...

First Kang and now Ben...

Hoping and praying Ben's injury is not nearly as severe..

Initial reaction was he let go of the ball before the play was dead. Could have been a fumble in Steeler territory. A normal injury doesn't cause that. I just don't get your line of thinking that he was being dramatic or his reaction was drama-filled. You think the knee brace and crutches are smoke screens?
 
Can we ever have a season that we make it through with our best players staying healthy and not suspended? Mother of god I am not ready to start commiserating over what could have been this year..
 
That's Coa h trying to make lemonade...
 
Anyone that saw the replays, knows Ben isn't being a drama queen here. I mean come on. It looked ugly and could have been a broken leg. We can only hope the MRI shows a minor MCL and he is back in 2 to 3 weeks. I would be ecstatic!
 
I have never seen Ben drop to the ground, drop a ball and stop moving like that. Ever. if he was being a drama queen he deserves an Academy Award. Just a ridiculous comment.
 
I'm prayin' for Ben.

O God who art the only source of health and healing, the spirit of calm and the
central peace of this football season, grant to me such a consciousness of your indwelling
and surrounding presence that I may permit you to give Ben health and strength and
peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


There, hope that helps.

I do this not only for the fact that injuries can be devastating for a player and their families but for the fact that I have seen absolutely no reason to believe that Vick can lead this team. He doesn't have the playbook down well enough, he doesn't have enough talent left in the tank to pull it off and he's very prone to turnovers whether he throws the ball or not.
 
Chargers suck ***, so does Baltimore. The only tow game with or without Ben that are a challenge are the Chiefs and cards.
 
Chargers and ravens blow. I am going to kc. It would be devestating if he missed that but it is football. If he was coming back and the game was meaningful I could live with it.
 
Baltimore is a mess if haley looks at the pre season formations, where vick had big plays, he can see all he is to do is lots of roll out throws, crossing routes and slants, and as well give Vick the green light to run, its time to use williams and archer for draws and swing passes vs baltimore and SD.
KC gonna be real tough, hopefully there is a chance ben recovery goes well and maybe can play vs kc.
SD stinks just shut down allen and rivers will fold, nethier gordon or oliver scare me going up vs tuitt mclendon heyward moats timmons shazier and deebo/dupree.

Best outcome Bal W, SD W KC L and AZ L, we just don't have the DB's to stop AZ's WR's.
