Breaking: Ben out for Sunday

[Buzz]

there might be a silver lining in this.

instead of overlooking the lions, now the whole team can focus on getting the job done.

no tik toking after 9 pm tonight and in bed by 10 pm

JuJu & Claypool have no restrictions, they'll be tik toking up until well after midnight, lol

I had covid also and I came through just fine. You're probably fat and have a lot of health problems. Isn't Ben vaccinated? Odd how everyone that's vaccinated is positive huh?

This is "uneducated" ignorance. Maybe it's "educated" ignorance. Regardless it's ignorance. One problem is society can't fix stupid.

Vaccines don't keep individuals from acquiring infections. That being said, vaccines serve a purpose. Just like antibiotics serve a purpose even though they don't "cure" infections 100% of the time. The key factor in any infection is an individual's immune systems ability to fight an infection.

And your wrong again about me. 0-2.

I’m an athlete you dumb ass. A long distance runner that took six months off to repair my lungs before I could run again. Covid affects everyone differently you POS but I guess you can’t fix stupid.

I expect Mason to play well. That being said, if you can’t rely on your backup to win against a winless team - that’s not a backup worth keeping.

Fingers crossed.

If MR can’t perform against a winless team, then there is no doubt he needs to be gone for sure next year.

It would be nice to see a rout and see
Haskins in mop up duty.

Rudolph threw for 315 yards and 2 TD’s vs the Browns last season in case anyone forgot. Dude is capable of moving the offense.

So there will be no excuses against the winless Lions then.

yup, and since it's all Lamar Jackson's fault when the Ravens lose it will be all Mason Rudolph's fault if we lose, right?

Seems like a lot of vaccinated people are getting the vid lately.

Guess it’s as good a time as any to see what Mason can do.

[Mr.wizard]

Rudolph with your nose so bright.......

Not a Mason fan, but I'm not sure I'd go this far.

It's a tough spot to learn your going to start the day before the game.

The game plan will still be for Ben since we didn't know Mason was going to play.

And Det has been generally competitive. I think most of us were expecting a close one before this news.

It will be interesting to see how the passing chart looks this game. If Mason is comfortable throwing to the middle of the field (intermediate and deep), maybe it messes up Det's defensive plan.

Starlifter may think so but anyone who has watched the NFL knows there us no such thing as an automatic win.

..especially with a last minute QB change.

Our campus is something like 95% vaccinated. But students have been testing positive pretty frequently lately.

Our region is something like 75% vaccinated, but test positivity rates are over 5% I think.

Hopefully, hospitalization rates remain low (below 1% for unvaxxed, and an order of magnitude or two lower for vaxxed per Gallup).

As always we should be looking at hospitalizations, but they always report positive tests or test rates. As long as they keep doing that, I'll assume it's mostly OK (because you know the media would love the ratings from reporting about surging hospitalizations and deaths )

[Iron City Inc.]

Conundrum; What if Mason plays lights out? It's only the Lions and I know this is Ben's team but this could be the beginning of the first QB controversy we have had in a generation

No. Mason pulls a 158.3 it won't matter it's Bens team.

He’s trying to set up his agenda.

Rudolph played well when he knew he was starting last year so surely he will play well with a days notice.

There were people on here predicting an upset WITH Ben.

This game will not be easy.. hopefully the defense steps up and we get a healthy amount of Najee

This goes back to him not watching football, anyone who has watched Detriot this year knows that they are not a push over. They have been very competitive and should have beaten some good teams already.
