    Is Ed Reed going to play this Sunday??

    Reports are he has gone to Louisiana to be with his family and will most likely not be with the team this week.

    Does this change your perspective on this game?

    I really liked the Ravens here, but if he's not playing they are cooked.

    I know they beat them in pitt in week 4 without Reed, but that was before Roethlisberger joined the team and their pass attack was the worst in the league.

    He's a game changer, without him i can certainly see roethlisberger and those speedy receivers gashing this shaky secondary.

    what are your guys' thoughts on this??

    sort of.

    his brother has gone missing. was reported last friday and he did play in the game against the chiefs.

    but i believe last night the police called off the seach for his brother.

    harbaugh did not sound optimistic on the radio about his return to the team.

    I can't imagine him missing a playoff game against Pittsburgh. I would consider him playing...

    Well he jumped in a river....he's dead. Sounds like his brother was a deadbeat and not exactly of high moral fiber. If he played last week....he will definitely play this week.

    He did play in a game the day after his brother went missing, he said "My brother would want me to play." Gotta believe his is playing this one as well.

    yeah when he jumped in the river the police were chasing after him. apparently also had problems with drug & alcohol, and a history of theft.

    It was sad watching Ed Reed get a little choked up accepting the game ball after the KC win.

    He will play and probably dominate like he always does.

    i hope he does. but it sounds like a family decision that he will talk over with his mother. he did mention in an article that his brother would've wanted him to beat pittsburgh.

    He will play and with sore ribs probably would not have practiced anyway.
    Will dedicate the game to his brother.
    Guess that is the only way to play emotionally and deal with the situation.
    Tough spot.

    I would have to have robbed a bank or killed someone to jump into the mississippi river, in the winter. I read he was fleeing the police on a traffic violation

    you could say that. he was suspected of driving another car off the road and reported to be in a stolen vehicle.

    he took off as they were cuffing him. so if those cops had just gotten those cuffs on, this would be a whole different story.

    I hope he is decomposing as we speak so at least some species on this planet are benefiting in some way off this piece of garbage.

    What exactly happened with his brother? I just heard he "disappeared" and was to lazy to look into it. Can someone give me the inside scoop on it so I can have a good laugh.

    Reed will play. As mentioned before, he probably would have sat out or had limited practice this week anyway. It seems that many great players have had epic games during times of personal tragedy or illness. I wouldn't be surprised if Reed has a huge day.

    If you saw him in the postgame against the Chiefs talking about his brother than you know he is going to play.

    Nah he will be there. I am sure he does not want to watch the game on TV.
