Depending on if we can beat baltimore at least once and dominate the browns and bengles, we could have a legit shot at winning the division.

I do not think we could win the SB with out Ben, We need him 100% for the play offs, we would be a dangerous team if he makes it back in time assumeing out estimations of the steelers going 10-6 or 11-5 are correct the playoffs looks like they are well with in reach whether it be wild card or bye week, if big bens back WATCH OUT!

I think the division is still to be had... and at worst, a wild card spot.

Not only will BB be back for the play-offs, but AB, Mendy, DD, and Troy, as well.

Hines Ward says Steelers won’t go very far without Roethlisberger

Posted by Mike Florio on November 13, 2012



The good news for the Steelers? As Peter King pointed out on Twitter, they’ve lost their four games against the Ravens when Ben Roethlisberger was injured or suspended by only three points three times and only six points the other time.

The bad news for the Steelers? One of the key players on the teams that faced the Ravens four times without Roethlisberger thinks the Steelers will be sunk without their star quarterback if he’s not available for the two games that are coming up against the Ravens in the next three weeks.

Asked by Pro Football Talk co-host Erik Kuselias how things will go against the Ravens in Roethlisberger’s absence, former Steelers receiver and NBC analyst Hines Ward said, “Not very well for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Going out there, they’ve got to have Ben on the field. One thing about him, to be able to extend plays; get outside the pocket, that’s when he’s at his best. When you lose that element of the game and put Byron in there, a guy who is less mobile, now everybody can just pin back their ears and go with the pass rush and the blitz and they change their dynamics of play calling. So other guys have to go out and still make plays for Byron.”

The bigger picture doesn’t look good, either. Asked how far the Steelers can go without Roethlisberger, Ward said, “Not very far, not very far at all. He is their whole team. He is the leader of their team, he makes the offense go and all the guys around him, he makes them better. If Ben’s not on the field its very hard for the Pittsburgh Steelers to go to where they want to go.”

That’s not very good news for the Steelers, who while only one game behind the Ravens are only a couple of losses removed from the scrum that will emerge for the No. 6 seed in the AFC.

^ all we need is byron to get us 11-5 or 10-6 and lock a wildcard. ben and troy will handle the rest when they're healthy

yup - always a fine line - if we don't take Ravens at least once - gonna be hard pressed to find a scenario where we host a playoff game

you never know what could happen, just like the cheifs ending bradys season several years back or potentially doing the same with ben.

harrison or woodley could hit flacco so hard , he separates his penis from john harbaughs mouth.

I'm glad the Ravens keep throwing trash like flacco on the field he is probably the only reason the ravens have never won a super bowl

Sorry. As hard as it is to believe, that's an incorrect statement.

They won it TWICE last year.

No seriously though.
