Say Ben misses the first 3 - whats our record?

[Blitzburgh]

If Batch can get us to 2-1 ... I don't think anyone would complain. I just want to see Charlie and Co. take down the Bungals. Bungal fans wouldn't be able to dig a hole deep enough to bury their heads.

.... man, that would be some kind of funny!

There was also a pitcher for the Orioles that missed around 2 months with the same thing.

It isn't that I don't have faith in the Steelers as a team, but I just don't have that much faith in Batch, sorry - but as I've said in other threads, I will support him 100%. He wears the black and gold.

My sentiments exactly.

I BELIEVE.

3-0

[Steelworth]

2-1 IF Ben has to miss 3 games. We still have a pretty damn good defense that could really disrupt Culpepper and cause a couple turnovers so I still see us winning Thursday. Jax is a toss up and Cinci, well we need Ben IMO.

If we are 2-1 then we would be very fortunate i think... It wouldnt suprise me if we were 0-3 or 1-2 ... I would feel good coming out of it with a winning record if we could manage that.

I hate to say it folks, but it's all just speculation on how we'll do with a backup QB. It's a whole new season, so I hope we're 3-0 after 3 games whether it's Ben, Charlie, Hines, or big Omar at QB. Anything can happen!

3-0 no doubt

[Elvis]

I say maybe 2-1..just maybe
I guess the Steelers Didnt Need to Keep 3 QB's after all
God Bless

No QB on our team got more snaps in the preseason games than Charlie, he got alot of time with the first team offense. And he looked good against other 1st defenses. I`m not worried, the best part of the entire deal is that Ben maybe able to take his time getting better, he won`t have to fill rushed.

And he has 3 days to practice before the opener. While I can't say I'm completely optimistic, I am not completely pessimistic...lol. Did that make sense?
