Re: Bad News for the STEELERS (Two QB Injuries) UPDATED

Without the defense imploading, Garica should of brought the Bucs to the playoffs last year and we sure
don't have Ward and Holmes at WR! Jeff can still get around the pocket and make the pass. How is
Pitt's O line?

Roethlisberger is one of the most sacked QBs in football. Since 2005, only David Carr has more (if I remember the stat correctly, as it was on during a game).

Roethlisberger "appears to be well enough to play". They still need another QB just in case he can't go or if Dixon can't handle it/gets hurt.

Fear not Steelers fans, Dennis Dixon, and NBC Sports executives. It sounds like Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be able to play this Sunday night against the Ravens.

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Ben Roethlisberger "seems to be fine" after taking a hit to the head in overtime of Pittsburgh's loss to Kansas City.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin will not address the media until his regularly scheduled press conference Tuesday. Roethlisberger took various tests on Monday. Results aren't available yet, but Bouchette credits a source that says Roethlisberger "appears to be well enough" to play against the Ravens.

This report matches the positive early indications Mike Florio heard Sunday night.

Perhaps Ravens fans disagree, but we'll be happy to see Roethlisberger suit up against Baltimore simply because we love football.

The two teams provided three entertaining battles last year. And with the Steelers somewhat on the ropes, it would be a shame to see their title defense fall by the wayside with a third-string quarterback at the helm.

With two Ravens-Steelers bouts on the docket, the Ravens will still get their chances to knock the Steelers out. (And vice versa.)
