Bad Luck Ben Roethlisberger

This guy just can't get a break.  I'm not a Steeler fan per se, but I do like the way the team plays.  They are fun to watch.  Ben just seems to get pummeled year in and year out.  This is a serious one too.  It reminds me of the injury Bledsoe had.  The hit didn't look that bad, but it did a lot of damage.  It came at the worst time too with 2 of 3 against the Ravens coming up.

Ravens are beat up too, but they at least have Flacco.

That's funny. :)

And as a Steelers fan I don't understand putting Leftwich in. I'd have gone with Charlie.

I have to take the blame here, I needed a QB to play for RG3 in my fantasy league last Sunday and picked up Ben off of waivers.  My fantasy team is snake bit, have lost MJD, McFadden, Santonio Holmes, Cutler, Jennings, Ryan Williams and Fred Davis so far.

I'd bet that Leftwich has a short leash, if he messes up, they will put Batch in.

Agreed.  Batch is a decent QB and has shown his ability in the past.  Leftwich has never impressed me.

And Flacco is at least the starter.  He plays well against the Pats but usually plays poor against his own division for some reason.

McFadden should have Been a good pick if the raiders would have stuck with the PBS they used last year but the new OC Greg Knapp changed it to ZBS Erich just puzzles the hell out of me cause he showed before ZBS does not work for him, say whatever you want about Hugh Jackson but he would listen to his key players when it comes to what works and what doesn't.
