Looks like this coupled with the uncertainty surrounding Brown's status absolutely helps the Broncos.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

great, now both qb cant throw..

 

[VectorPrime]

If only the Bengals didn't Bengal...

 

[robbomango]

The Bungles extended their bungling onto the Steelers....

 

[scout]

I was hoping for a Steeler win as a healthy Steeler team beats Denver. The first playoff game for the Patriots are a team that is not explosive. My choice switched when Big Ben went down and I thought everything was working out......

 

[RayClay]

He's got a sprained hero complex. Threw fine at the end of the game. He'll be fine against the Broncos.

Brady had one of those for 47 weeks in a row and it never bothered him.

 

[Deus Irae]

I expect Ben to play. I'm more 'worried' about Brown.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Nantz is going to be beside himself extolling the heroic virtue of two warriors overcoming impossible odds to even play quarterback in that game next week.

Ack.

 

[Mack Herron]

Right. Ben will play. There is no "shoulder protocol."

Should have.

 

[Rob0729]

Roethlisberger really knows how to play up coming back into the game with an injury card. Brady has played where he could barely lift his arm over his head (according to accounts) and no one other than people on the team knew. Whenever Roethlisberger gets injured it is a huge production and he plays it up when he comes back in.

Yes but is it a high sprain? That's the question we all want to know.

 

[Kontradiction]

How well is the question. A sprained AC joint is still extremely painful. Aside from Brown, the Steelers don't really have a quick, twitchy type of receiver to get open quickly on the shorter routes. Their offense will have to be even more reliant on downfield throws. Further, the Broncos are probably going to cheat up on the shorter stuff and dare Roethlisberger to beat them deep.

In other words, the Donkeys will be playing defense the way that the feckin dumb-ass Bungles should have been playing defense on that last drive?

Once again, the Prevent defense prevents…victories.

Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown appear to be a go for Denver

It is going to be Brady vs Manning for the final time. Can't believe people are so friggin scared about our team playing on the road and having to rely on other teams like this especially someone like the Steelers. Just accept it. You guys said Kansas City would win the division. Then said San Diego would win week 17. Now you getting behind the Steelers. Accept it. New England is going to Denver a week from Sunday. It will be part of the FU tour. If you are scared, get a dog.
