Breaking: Ben out for Sunday

[NorthCoast]

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

Do you watch any football besides the Steelers? BAL almost lost to DET if their kicker wasn't superhuman.
Any given Sunday. Now if he stinks it up then maybe it will raise ??s. But he's also going into the game with a receiver corps that scares no one.

what doctor or scientist EVER said that being vaccinated keeps you from getting the virus 100%?

Odd how the vast, overwhelming number of people landing in ICU’s or dying are unvaccinated.

You sure about that?

[Terrapin]

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.

After 20 months to 'flatten the curve' I'm long past the point of caring about being 'ignorant'.

Anyway, I think Rudolph stinks, but who the hell does he have to throw to? Ray Ray Mcloud? 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?

The idiocy of people like you and the rest of the orange man cult is mind-boggling. Keep your trash political opinions off this board.

I actually don't mind this news one bit. Let Ben recover from some of those nagging injuries and we get a look at Rudolph in a meaningful game. Can't overlook any team but it couldn't come against a better opponent.

Start Haskins

If Rudolph can’t get us a win today, we need to move on from him.

I saw this stated earlier and I don't think I would be comfortable with such a generalization. I agree his play should definitely factor in any decision to keep him. But if he plays well and the good guys still lose, then he should definitely be in the mix for next year (providing of course, Ben hangs his cleats up).

Agreed. A receiver corps that scared no one when healthy - it subsequently lost JuJu and Claypool. Its reduced to one average receiver prone to mental errors, and 3-4 clods who should only be on NFL practice squads.

Look… we are playing a winless team who everyone has been able to move the ball on. If MR plays well, we win this game. It’s that simple.

The Eagles don’t have a receiving corps… but they beat the lions. The Ravens don’t have the greatest receiving corps… but they beat the lions.

We’ve got posters who are already trying to make excuses for MR before the game is played!!

If MR plays well, we win. If he doesn’t , we lose. Today’s game is all about how MR plays.

Some of you guys with your excuses are incredible!!!

[Steel Maniac]

Today’s game will go far in determining MR’s real use with us going forward. If we can’t use him and win against a winless, arguably worse team in the league, then when can we really use him and feel comfortable????

Stop with excuses!!

[Steel Maniac]

With that said, I expect him to do well.

[Buzz]

I expect a very heavy dose of Najee in this game. Let's hope his body holds up.
