Want to start a thread and keep near the top for any and all updates on the status of Ben and AB. Without them next week, we have little to no chance of winning.
 
Want to make the trip to Denver, don't want to if these two aren't healthy. Ah decisions, decisions.
 
AB should be fine. Ben is going to play but he'll be grabbing and favoring his shoulder all game.

Hopefully this causes the offense to throw short quick passes against Broncos pass rush.
 
With Williams back, and the emergence of TnT, all of a sudden the Steelers have a potent runinng game. They should use it early and often.

If the defense can keep Manning bottled up, they can win the same kind of game they did last night.
 
I dont give us much chance if AB and Ben are out or significantly diminished. The Wild Card game is what will carry me through the off season.
Since they played Saturday, are official reports Monday?
I cant imagine Ben being out. I mean if it were career threatening I dont think they let him back in the game.
 
The game plan on offense is going to have to be very creative if either BR or Brown is hampered by injury, let alone both.

I expect Vick to be activated and used in some way.

Haley will earn his paycheck this week. And, if they somehow pull it off, a major raise.

I saw the way the Broncos played pitty-pat with the Chargers last weekend. They aren't invincible by any means.
 
I think Ben and AB will play as well. But seriously, the Broncos are not all that. Cincy with AJ should have beaten them on Monday night.
 
Pressure Manning and we will win.
 
Denver's D is good but can be had deep as we showed when we beat them earlier. But, if Ben or AB are out, we will have trouble exploiting their week area.
 
Report: Roethlisberger believed to have AC joint sprain, undergoing MRI on Sunday
Dan Wilkins Jan 10, 2016 1:02 PM
Ben Roethlisberger's status remains very much unclear looking ahead to next week's divisional-round matchup with the Denver Broncos.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is undergoing an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity of his shoulder injury, which is initially though to be an AC join sprain, according to Albert Breer of NFL Network.

More to come.
 
Great... so Laundry Jones vs a great secondary going up against the ghost of Peyton Manning? we are probably ******. One read Landry isn't going to get it done and I'm not sure scrub force 1 will be able to carry us on the ground... I am very unconfident in this game now
 
I saw a tweet from Dulac that he was told AB is fine and will be good to go for Denver. I think it's too early to tell based on the concussion protocol.
 
I created this post to have one place for all Ben and AB updates. Please use this before creating the already many other threads with updates.
 
I really think Ben will be fine. I can't imagine...if his shoulder was gong to give him any trouble at all he'd be saying how much it hurt, and how much it limited him. Why would you tip off the Broncos and let them know he might be able to go deep? I think it's gamesmanship. And if he didn't have to go back into the game this past week, they'd really be playing up how badly it was hurt.
 
What a great ploy this week. Ben can't throw deep. Double moves to AB and Bryant with no safety help. TOUCHDOWN!!!

Way to sandbag it Ben!
 
I'd HOPE antonio can go as if it is Landry, he is going to need every thing we've got.





Salute the nation

I certainly hope that's the case and there's some gamesmanship going on. But I still have my doubts. If AB can't go, but Ben can, I'll still give them a punchers chance. But if Ben can't go, Denver by about 10.
 
Most of what I have read this morning has Ben and AB being able to be back. AB is posting videos on Instagram. He posted one yesterday from the locker room joking around with teammates. It looked like they just got done working out. We will have to wait and see on Ben's MRI but a few days of rest and treatment should help him be ready if there is no structural damage in his shoulder.

You should have sent Coach a PM to let him know. I'd suggest smoke signals, an email, text message, edible delights - ANYTHING, to prevent another one of his threads...
 
Rub some dirt on it

Steelers 'optimistic' about Big Ben's status

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Steelers are "optimistic" Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) will play in the Divisional Round if he avoids setbacks this week.

La Canfora says the Steelers will "take every precaution," holding Ben out of practice "probably until Thursday." La Canfora calls Roethlisberger's injury a "shoulder strain" in his right (throwing) arm. It's unclear how close to 100 percent Roethlisberger will be by the end of next week, but for now the Steelers at least aren't planning to have to start Landry Jones at Denver.
