Antonio Brown OUT Sunday. MORE....
- Thread starter MadJack
- Start date
And I guess you can't fake being well enough to play. I'm sure he would play if the decision was his.
+10 is my number now for a Steelers bet.
I attempted to bet the Pacman is an idiot prop the other day but I wasn't able to liquidate two million to win that dollar.
I hope and pray that Cincy visits Heinz Field after week 3.

Following Ben's status closely obviously. If Landry Jones plays I agree completely.
I'm just guessing where it will end up. It's off at both of my books also. If the line somehow stays at 7 you know what to do.
:toast:
Not a word and I've talked to a couple of people in Pittsburgh today already. That's a bad sign.
Update from rotoworld.
Ben practicing in full Friday and threw full complement of passes.
Wow!

Now I'm saying there's a chance.

Lee,
Tomlinson did an interview today and said Ben DID throw today.
He said he made every throw they asked him to make. No more, No less.
I'm assuming they'll see how he feels tomorrow but hard to believe he doesn't play. The guy is a gamer and has proven his toughness. How effective will he be? Something tells me he will be ok.
Missing AB is obviously going to be tough. He's great. Period. You don't replace what he does. Not as a receiver and not as a punt returner. Something no one is talking about. However, we still have some legitimate talent at WR. The question is how will they perform with more attention on them with AB out? Wheaton, Bryant, DHB, and Coates.
Heath will need to be big in this one!
Haley is going to earn his money this week!
Bottom line...It's the playoffs...The game is going to be in the defenses' hands.
They're going to have to get turnovers and some short fields to win this game. The defense has been bad at times and good at times. They DON'T necessarily pass the eye test but they're 3rd in sacks, 6th in redzone defense, and 11th in points given up. To me that shows they make splash plays. They make plays when they need to at big parts of the game. If they continue that. They have a chance. They're going to give up yards. That's a given. They'll need to give up fg's instead of td's and get at least 2-3 turnovers to have a chance.
Lastly, I think the Steelers will still be ok with out Williams. Again, it's a big loss cause Toussaint or Todman are not the same quality but they were able to move the ball in bad conditions against a good cincy defense so I think they'll be serviceable again. They gave me hope after last week. Williams didn't do anything against Denver the first time they played but Denver also smacked the steelers in the mouth early and had a 17 point lead that kind of took the running game away. They're going to need something from the running game this week for sure.
We will see what happens.
Enjoy the games this week and good luck!
vontase burfict may get the last laugh...he put bell and brown down and hamstrung Roethlisberger......
he may well have single-handedly destroyed the steelers` super bowl hopes(so many people were calling the steelers the darkhorse this playoff season...the team that scared everybody in the afc).....
pretty amazing that just one player could wreak that kind of havoc on the star players of another team...crazy stuff...
