OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Antonio Brown > Mike Wallace

[plaidchuck]

A textbook example of a pyrrhic victory.

 

[ColePens]

A win is a win baby

 

[Shwag33]

Consol was built on indian burial grounds and cursed all of pittsburgh sports with injuries.

 

[Penguins23]

I don`t even know what to think of today`s win. I`ll take it but these injuries have got to stop!

 

[Big McLargehuge]

One hell of an entertaining game...now to see what one of about 20 things possibly wrong with Ben's foot/ankle...none of which bode well for him playing next week.

 

[Joejosh999]

Well, no Bell, likely no Ben for at least awhile..
We find out what Jones do.
That's all I got.

But really, the injuries are incredible, do we have stats on the Steelers? We know the Pens are generally leading the NHL or close to it last few years, when it comes to man-games lost.

Where do the Steelers fall out for say the last couple years ? We've had so many injuries to the OLine, just that by itself should put them way up there?....

 

[Shockmaster]

When Ben was being carted off in St. Louis he looked devistated. Probably thought his season was over. When he was being carted off today he didn't look that upset about it.

Doubt it means much of anything.

 

[ImporterExporter]

And i was really excited to be at next weeks game....

Ah hell, i still am but the thought of watching a Landry Jones led team with no Bell and all the other injuries on offense, is bugging the **** out me.

Maybe Jones will have that big breakout game because Ben sure as **** doesn't look like he'll be back anytime soon. DeAngelo Williams will need to carry this team more than anyone. Against Cleveland's **** run defense that should be possible although they'll likely sell out against the run and make Jones sling it.

 

[Shockmaster]

Is Johnny Alcholic starting for Cleveland next week?

 

[Joejosh999]

Does anyone have a clue what the recovery time is for say a sprained foot?

 

[Mordax]

 

[TNT87]

To go with that Rich Walsh tweeted that early indications are that the injury is not season ending.

 

[TNT87]

So the Steelers have the Browns at home and then a bye in the next two weeks and then they are at Seattle.

 

[Joejosh999]

I hope so. Hope it is not that lisfranc thing...

 

[mynameisnick4]

If Manziel plays I could see them beating the browns then if he comes back for the Seattle game there still may be a shot at the playoffs.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Bye is coming at a perfect time it seems. Have to find some way to win vs Cleveland. Rest up in the bye and then hope Ben can be close to 100% for Seattle because there is literally zero chance up there without him, and not a very good one even if he does play IMO. I think worst case he comes back the week after Seattle.
