Ben's MRI

What's pretty eerie is that Willie Parker's Korea came to an end on that field

 

We don't know anything until the MRI! Praying for the best!

 

I got a bad feeling it's a torn ACL
Say a prayer tonight

 

You have lost your mind! Ive had 15 knee surgeries...half of them due to hits like the one Ben took today! That injury is no joke, and I have no idea how in the world you could consciously spew the garbage that I just read!!

 

Probably means they know for sure he has a torn MCL. which would be about a 4 week minimum for a QB on his plant foot. They just aren't sure if his ACL is ok. Which means they'll need an MRI to see everything. So best case scenario is probably a month. If the ACL is torn he's done.

 

Hope for four weeks holds up get Michael Vick some timing with Antonio Brown and they'll be selling Michael Vick jerseys in Pittsburgh can't win number seven without number seven

 

Just heard the commentators on the Bills-Dolphins game that early reports is that he can miss up to 4 weeks, hope so cuz it looked real bad.

 

The fact the team hasn't confirmed anything says that their medical personal aren't sure, and these are people who generally know what the injury is before they get to the tunnel because they've seen it all before. THAT gives me hope that this isn't season ending. I honestly think this team can survive 4-6 weeks w/o Ben. 4-2 is doable and 6-4 at that point wouldn't be the end of the world or the season.

 

I hope for the best with Ben, but regardless...Isn't Bruce Gradkowski about ready ? He had his surgery Aug 25th...and reports said he would be out 5 to 6 weeks. That means at most we only would have to play Vick this Thursday. Then with the 10 days off...Bruce very well could be ready to go....right ?

 

I think they IR'ed him. I could be totally wrong, but doesn't that mean gradkowski is out for the season?

 

I'd feel 100 times better if Grad was still the #2.

On a funny note.

All the callers are begging Charlie to come back for the Ravens game on SNR!

gradowsky is on i.r ..out for the season. we are in the hands of vick and landry ......

 

Now I'm wishing that BB has just smoked some dope or chased a skirt in a bar - a nice rest without the painful physical rehab. Just kidding. I mean who wasn't holding their breath in here almost expecting this to happen in light of all the off-season shenanigans at the QB position?

 

That would be Hines Ward's Korea and Willie Parker's career - right?

 

It's a parallel to the 48th degree

 

But he's #2

 

BB is one tough SOB and he was writhing in pain. I would be stunned if that is NOT a season ending injury. Off to the IR, I'm afraid. With that kind of torque on his knee, his ligaments will be shredded. I would happily give the Rams the W if we could have our QB back.

This just effin sucks....sigh...

 

I wish we could get to 48 degrees out here - been over 100 and only down to 70 at night since June. I'd even settle for the nth degree. I do believe the term "Korea" would be correct if used in this same context in chowder head country - as in "My long korea as a pocking lot attendant".

 

We'll know more tomorrow. Don't mail in the season just yet Bro.

 

Why is everyone so down on Vick and high on Grad? He's done zero as a Steeler. He hasn't thrown a pass in a regular season game since 2012! Vick isn't ideal but he doesn't suck. He shouldn't need to be a superstar for them, just adequate and manage the game. There are enough weapons on this team to carry them over the next 4 weeks or so. And the D looked MUCH better this week.

 

They say 4 weeks, but it means nothing until the MRI on Monday agrees.

 

I disagree , Vick DOES SUCK and he has for the past few years... IMO he was nvr that great to strt with

 

Vick? What I noticed is he was not ready to play. We were very lucky when he fumbled and when he threw a ball directly at a defender we did not pay with a turnover on either play. We probably should have lost because those two turnovers that didn`t happen.
