    Big Ben playing following concussion..
    last time he did this (2006) against atlanta.


    5 sacks and FOUR ints.... 2 returned for 6... in a 20-13 loss..


    he does get an extra week, this time...but that head has taken a lot of damage over the last few years...especially the motorcycle accident...


    Just something to keep in mind

    lol

    Great stats. I was just posting about the same topic. And we know that Tomlin tends to be overly loyal to Big Ben. So could easily leave him in too long.

      That is a normal outing for him. He is aweful anyways, I would love to see him play for a team without that defense. He has 1 good drive a game and then gets the credit for winning games.

        I think a concussion on old clownface is pretty bad considering he got hit by a car without a helmet while speeding on a motorcycle. This guy is gonna be a vegetable by 35.

                    That man was hit by a car

                    A fukking tackle and a little headche, nothing to worry about

                    Do you really think Norv Turner can win more than one playoff game??

                    The man is 20+ game under 500, a proven loser

                      Big Ben does win games....but you've seen him when he is not right?

                      its one thing to overcome, leg, arm, shoulder injuries..but his thinking is slow enough as it it... this concussion could take awhile to come back from..


                      I hope i'm wrong...

                          I must say the steelers OL is the worst in the league, Ben has taken too many hits to the head all year

                            Scorpion I hope you are right chief... but I also know that Stiller fans are in the top 10 for most loyal fans to their franchise...we get blinded by the hype somtimes.... I think there are very few qb's past, present, future...

                            that could match what Ben did in his resume so far.... not stats.. but making it as a qb in college, after playing wr in high school... making it into the pros 1st round after playing at a mid-major, going on the most incredible run for a rookie qb ever. winning a super bowl with a 1.5 year's experience... the amount of comeback wins he has put together ect... no denying this guy has the "it" factor.. the intangible will to succeed and never give up, ability to turn it on when most needed.


                            But we also know somtimes, he goes to turn it on and its just not there.... and we see 3 int's 2 fumbles 6 sacks... because he won't just throw the ball away....

                            makes for excitement one way or another, but i'm not feeling good about Sunday..

                              I think Big Ben is the weakness , if he did not play they would have a better shot to win.

                                  Turner won two last year...the second one with LT and Rivers out at the Colts at the end of the game ....one hard hit and Big Ben won't know where the fukk he is...a concussion nothing to worry about?? it is if you expect a brain to be used to think and make plays

                                    seriously I know that people on here aren't brain surgeons or doctors... but to think that brain swelling injuries is nothing? Ben is too tough for his own good somtimes... Long term, this game might be the one they look back on in 20 years when Roethlisberger is making appearances like Ali...

                                    too many concussions, and you just NEVER get right again...

                                      Nice reply Pete, Some people don't think.

                                        wonder if anyone can pay off some hospital employees and get some of the cognitive test results people take after having concussions... somtimes people read at like elementary school levels for weeks following concussions..... I can remember being foggy for at least a week after my last concussion...

                                            Norv Turner is a proven loser

                                            Barely won the worst in division in football

                                            SD should fire this clown now and hire Shanahan
