Dulac: Big Ben starting tomorrow night

[tanda10506]

We need to run the game plan we ran against the Titans and pats: quick passes and effective running. Wallace and Brown are fast enough to run quick slants all day and get open, plus Miller is great on the quick, short, passes.

I really don't think these guys are as dangerous as the Pats, but that's just me. Guess we'll see tomorrow night.

Thanks for the info thought Tony. I follow you on twitter, but I don't use it much anymore. I'll be keeping an eye on it for now on.

I want to see them play like they did when Ben came back in the second half of the Browns game. They played knowing they needed to keep him safe, and they did great. By the way, i'm from Mansfield, Ohio. I take advantage of these primetime games, otherwise i'm stuck watching the damn Browns and Bungles!

You could cut off Ben's arm and he'd still have another. He could adjust to throwing with his left arm and be ready by gameday

you need to find a friendly local sports bar.. i am sure it is packed with Steelers fans. i haven't missed a game since 2003 (since i got my driver's license) and have never ordered Sunday Ticket.

All these upsets have me nervous but according to the betting websites we are the underdog. I know the niners have a good defense but pat willis is out for them. As long as we shut down Gore we will win, Alex Smith wont beat the leagues best passing defense.

Roethlisberger will start against 49ers
Monday, December 19, 2011
By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

SAN FRANCISCO -- Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is expected to start tonight against the San Francisco 49ers -- and the decision had nothing to with the Baltimore Ravens' loss Sunday night in San Diego that put the Steelers back in control of the AFC North Division.

The Steelers reached the decision to start Roethlisberger before the Ravens' 34-14 loss to the Chargers, which means the Steelers win the division title and get a first-round playoff bye if they win their remaining three games.

Roethlisberger has a Grade I ankle sprain and didn't practice until Saturday, and even then on a limited basis. But he moved around well enough to convince the coaches and medical staff he is able to play.

The Steelers clinched a playoff spot Sunday because of any loss by one of four teams -- the Titans, Jets, Raiders and Broncos. All four lost Sunday.

Little known fact that Ben is the great, great, great nephew of the Black Knight. Although a bit silly, the Black Knight's never-give-up attitude lives on in Ben today! Thankfully, Ben gets his skills from the other side of the family tree.
