Ben aims for return against Colts - Page 2

The Steelers will have a great game on Monday against the Colts. You know everyone will step up and play agressive as hell because they want to be the ones to beat the undeafeted Colts. Look at last year's wins over the Eagles and the Patriots.

GET PUMPED UP

Either Ben's recovery is going slowly or Cowher knew Ben would be running for his life since Smith did not play. Ben would have gotten off passes when Maddox was sacked, but there is a real chance he would have reinjured his knee and the season would be shot -it was painful to watch Maddox but seeing Ben lying on the ground grabbing his knee after a Ravens cheap shot would have been far worse.

With regard to the ealier post about hoping the Chargers beat the Colts, lose that thought. The Steelers are more likely to be worrying about beating out the Chargers for a wild card than catching Indy by this time next month.

Of the last six games only Detroit at home to end the season is an obviously easy win. Indy & Cincy are clearly tough, but the Minnesota + Cleveland road games, plus the Chicago home game, are no gimmes anymore.

We need ben in there
But if our offensive line plays like last week we can assume that Ben will be out another 3 weeks.
our OL sucks this year....all of them.......

If Ben went in and played and aggravated that knee and we still one, we'd be sunk this week against the colts and wouldnt up any better after this coming week than we are now.

I'd rather have had him sit if he wasnt ready.. but still, damn we need him back bad!
