    He sounded ready to me. He just said it was wait and see and coach's decision.

    If for some reason Ben doesn't play, Tomlin has to start a QB capable of completing a pass & unfortunately that's not Vick. Jones would be the obvious choice. Let us hope it doesn't come to this

    If Ben doesn't play it is Jones hands down. Vick is an insurance policy at best right now.

    From the interview on the fan it seems like he's ready to play, but is not quite 100%.... Can a football player truly get 100% with that injury during the season though? His "doubt" could be going to his left/right which I'm sure is scary mentally since it could tear at any point if he moves on it wrong. I'm sure that he will be fine during the game, unless of course he gets sacked all day from his blind side...

    he has to play. imo I think the coaches and players know it. if he doesn't, we don't win. if we lose, season is all but over. we would be 4 games behind the bengals and have 2 north loses.
    I aint saying play him if he is not close to ready but a 60% ben is better than any other option we have.

    With four losses the season is over? I just don't see it that way.
    Anything can happen. Maybe it's time for Cincy to get the injury bug.

    It depends. If it only means that his effectiveness is limited, then sure he should play. If it means he's at heightened risk for re-injury, then no. The season will NOT be over if we lose. The division race will be pretty much over, but the wild card is very much in play.
