Lefty to start, Ben out.

Not really shocked, with a short week to boot, maybe Ben comes back against Cleveland?

 

Wow... So much for high hopes!

 

3 weeks to heal than you have to recover the agility and velocity , so should be 4 weeks , now is baltimore for 2 - cleveland - sandiego at home .
if we manage to go 3-1 we can still battle the first in the division
2-2 road to the wild card
1-3 playoff in serious danger
0-4 we stay home

 

we are talking about Ben. the dude is very tough. i would be very surprised if he was out for more than 2 games. my guess is hes back for Cleveland.

 

I know people keep saying how tough Ben is, but think about the anatomy of that injury for a second. Touch your central clavicle and imagine pulling it away from the chest bone. Then imagine trying to lift your arm, let alone trying to sling a tight spiral with high velocity between 2 NFL receivers into a small space. No chance he is back before the Bengals game 12-23. Possibly not until the playoffs if by some chance we could scrape up enough wins to get there. win 4 of 7 maybe. 3 of 7, staying home. Sux.

 

Bens gonna play barring that Wifey does not go into labor Sunday adrinaline and a few cortizone shots will make all feel fine
