Reports that Batch needs surgery

Re: Let's really hope Ben is OK, Batch has a wrist....

Batch is a china doll. We need to stop bringing him back. For a guy who plays in about two games a year, it seems he is injured every season.

Oviedo, that sounds like pretty negative stuff from a guy like you. I think this team is in dire straits, but I'm not ready to pack it in yet. Even if Ben doesn't play and we lose this weekend, we'll still be in the wild card hunt.

Ben will not get hurt again... maybe this will change his play a little on taking so many hits.

Batch is mr. glass... I think he is doing a Bettis and getting hurt to stay on the roster. Something is up because I don't recall him taking a hit yesterday. Was it on the hand off?

this was charlies first snap in a game since 2007. i've always been a charlie fan, but clearly it's time for him to start working on his coaching resume.

Re: Get ready for Dixon

I can't believe it.

I had a dream Saturday night before the game that Dixon was running the offense in the second half of the season!

Re: Let's really hope Ben is OK, Batch has a wrist....

This season just gets worse. Let's face it, it is just not happening this season. The fates are going against us this year. You can just feel it in the air as sure as the first snow of the year.

People were saying the same thing in 05.

I've been saying this for the last month to Bengal work peers. My memory is not as astute as many of yours on this forum; however, it seems we have way more injuries this year to significant players.

None the less--
Happy Thanksgiving and GO STEELERS!

Except the Penguins. The injuries that they have been mounting up in the first quarter of the hockey season has been redonkulous.

Ugh...at least a few of them are back now and we aren't fielding half the W-B/S Pens roster.

Seriously...
How the hell do you get injured for the year (which basically this is), playing THREE plays. F-n ridiculous. (Obviously, it's hard to get mad at someone who gets hurt and needs surgery, but c'mon Batch--sew It up).

Cleo F-n Lemon?! Are you joking me? This is a pretty shaky development, given that they have mortgaged the offensive balance in favor of being pass-happy. The negative (quite obviously, now) is that if we have to resort to a Cleo Lemon, WTF are we to do? No proven run game to lean on, makes it very difficult to imagine us succeeding long-term.

F-n Batch man... pu$sy

Re: Reports that Batch needs surgery

I have yet to see HOW Batch hurt his wrist during the game & I looked for it during last night's NFL Network replay. Has anyone seen a report or story as to how it happened or did he fall in the shower after the game?
