Roethlisberger out for the year

The Gipper

And what is happening with James Conner? Haven't heard results yet:

So....maybe the Steelers, along with the Dolphins can go into "tank" mode. Not sure if this will change their thinking on Rudolph...or if they want to tank for Tua (why for him? no idea.....I do not believe he will be the best QB coming out). In a year from now....for Trevor Lawrence....sure. But not Tua.

Sure looked like it Gip. He got tackled earlier in the game, but he landed on his left elbow. He was definitely having trouble before he tried that 30+ yard pass to Ju-Ju.

Can't wait for our pal Vag to show up with his slanted commentary.

Vag will be on Rudolph like he is his red nose. (but he will actually be his brown nose)

This wont stop their faggot ass fans from gloating about how good they used to be. Steeler nation is the worse fans in sports. I hate them.

Michigan and Notre Dame fans say Hi.

nothing worse than teams that haven’t won a dang thing in recent memory gloat constantly and get every media outlet pushing them to greatness in September.

i hope that doesn’t become Us.

Makes our game vs. the Steelers much easier.

Good riddence!...

Nickers learn how to fucking spell. You won't catch me saying "good riddance" if Mayfield loses an arm. Now you brought all that negative karma on the shit stains.

I won't be surprised if Ben retires.

Rudolph looked good when he came in, two tds and his int was 120% on moncrief (who needs cut)

Not how i want to see someone go out, especially an arch rival.

Still hoping for a couple legendary battles before Ben hangs it up.

What is with the blank, quoted, posts?

I for one am not celebrating this for two reasons 1) I wanted to see us kick your asses with all your starters playing and 2) karmas a bitch.

Lets put it this way.....this/these developments obviously SHOULD benefit the Browns. We now have to face an unproven, unplayed but for a few snaps, 2d year QB....vs. a proven HOF caliber QB. (plus the status of their starting RB is up in the air).

But the Browns obviously have to perform.

And people are gloating somewhat over the Ratfuckers......but remember,...they probably started out the season playing the two worst teams....by far....in the league. And they only pulled out a squeaker vs. AZ. They still lost the heart and soul of their defense (Suggs and Mosley).....so we shall see how good they are when they face stiffer opposition. They do still have...to my mind, the best and most proven HC in the division (yes, over Tomlin), which helps them.

Also...figure this out now:

It will be Oklahoma vs. OK St. when the Browns play the Spermsuckers this year.

And here were the stats from the game their last year against each other....a 62-52 OK win:

Passing

	Passing
Player	School	Cmp	Att	Pct	Yds	Y/A	AY/A	TD	Int	Rate
Baker Mayfield	Oklahoma	24	36	66.7	598	16.6	16.9	5	2	240.9
	Passing
Player	School	Cmp	Att	Pct	Yds	Y/A	AY/A	TD	Int	Rate
Mason Rudolph	Oklahoma State	28	54	51.9	448	8.3	8.5	5	2	144.7

Needless to say.....these guys are in the NFL now...and will NOT be playing Big 12 defenses.

It's the wrong body part that's going to be sliced and diced. Something else needs to be Bobbitized!!! I feel no pitty for Big Bad Ben.

That is what hoorta said. And as I noted earlier, before the draft last year, I had Rudolph as the possible equal to Rosen/Allen/Darnold. So, we shall see.

Is this a guy yinzers expect to be a long term solution? Or are you anticipating going into tank mode for someone else?

Exactly- I don't wish injury or a wear and tear breakdown on anyone. I'm suspecting that's the case with Ben- NFLN mentioned Rudolph saying Ben was having issues with the elbow after the Patriots game.

I will be POed though Vag if the Steelers managed to pull yet another rabbit out of the their hat with Rudolph. I already said he looked really good after Ben went out. As to Ben retiring- if it's a Tommy John issue with the elbow- well could be the end of the line.

I wonder if it his...... hold still while I rape you elbow? Or his let me peel myself off this windshield elbow? Like I really give a fuck

I don't think the Steelers have "reigned" over the AFC North for at least this past year....when they did not make playoff....and it had not looked good into the future with the losses of Bell and Brown. Now BR.
