    Wouldn't surprise me one bit. That 2-3 week timeline seemed optimistic to me.

    I don't have faith the Steelers would win in Baltimore with Ben. Without him, I'd almost be shocked if they won.

    Me too. I had a torn meniscus, I didn't have surgery to fix it so I was hopeful for Ben with some of the stuff I read, but, I doubt he plays.

    I heard Zach got some 1st team reps in at QB this week. Hearing that I figured Ben was going to be out.

    We'll win with Landry this week.

    Don't want Ben playing the Ravens under the current circumstances he's always rushed back needs to kick it for a bit heal up lot of ball left

    A loss to the Ravens won't be devastating. They would own the tiebraker for the time being but keep in mind the Ravens still have to play the game here in Pittsburgh on Christmas. Plus, they still have two games left with the Bengals, at Dallas,at New England, and Philly as well. So this division could still be won even with a loss next week. I feel a win in Baltimore next week really can put a nice down payment on the Steelers winning the North. Being 5-3 with the tiebraker in hand on both the Ravens and Bengals with a two game lead over both.

    Looks like two out of three will have to do until then. At least Green (likely anyway), Heyward and Dupree (hopefully) will provide this team a boost.

    Ben always seems to play like crap when he returns from injury.

    Ben will miss at least this week probably 2 more and it should probably be 3 or 4 more , but he will come back early as the Team can't win without him ...

    Is why I love Defense first, Teams with really good defenses are winning with Jones type of QB play, we have built a Team that can win without Ben , not the way I prefer my Team to be...

    I hope when we start the true rebuild we will go Defense first and from the backfield not the front 7....If we do go from the front 7 switch to 4- or 5- man something with real pass rushing DL ...

    Might as well sit him out until the Browns game. If Ben is rusty, the Browns are the team to be rusty against and still have a chance to win. I'd be shocked if the Steelers went 1-1 over the next two games. 0-2 is most likely.

    One NFL insider says he's playing, another says he's missing several more weeks. The Steelers are playing these dopes so that the Ravens don't know what's up.
