Ben in a walking boot?

Many, many QB's would still be in at that point of an elimination game.........

Ben scrambled on that play & and should have thrown the ball away.....

All the more reason to pull him, to protect him from himself.
 
Here's the play....ankle was rolled-up on. From Schefter twitter.

This is the same BS that lost Derek Carr for the season....Raiders up 33-14 with ten minutes left in the game and possession of the ball. So what do you do? You throw the ball and get your QB lost for the season. Worse situation for the Steelers where they had the game won and no reason for him to be throwing...should have been handing off the ball to Williams and burning 2-3 minutes of clock.

Then why hasn't Del Rio been crucified, like Tomlin is being now? Didn't hear a peep about Del Rio being the reason why OAK were one and done for the playoffs. We all know Ben likes to embellish his injuries....

Have you been on Raider discussion boards? How do you know he's not?

I don't go on Raiders boards but if I was a Raider fan I would probably be a little miffed.

He was and still is, including last night. And rightfully so. Just like Tomlin should be. And if you keep him in there, you MAKE him run the ball every play, period.
 
Ben will be ok. A lot of players throughout the league are dinged up around this time

I knew it.....I pointed that out to everyone watching the game with us.

******* completely utterly ridiculously STUPID for him to even be in the game at that point...

So much for the big 3 being healthy for the playoffs.

With a three possession lead, I would have had the backup qb, maybe even the 3rd stringer, handing off to the backup, or 3rd string, running back.
 
Just shittie coaching... they had Harrison out why not the three bs.

I guess you are ok he's in a boot???

You just can't bring yourself to criticize cool shades can you?

Criticize cool shades. Yeah cause Ben is a rookie who doesn't know time and circumstances smh. Be cause falling on his *** or throwing it away wasn't a option.. Criticize when no one knows if he is even seriously hurt. I'm just going to enjoy this win
 
It's precautionary, he wasn't limping at any point after that on the field any ways

It's a HC job to manage his players. If he doesn't know how to do that by now he's a dumb ****.
 
The coaches are paid to be smarter then the players. In fact you were strategically better of with Landry in there. Ben looked disinterested in trying to make plays. On that safety blitz he basically through it down the sideline to AB before he even came out of his break. (which was the smart thing to do.)

He will be a dumb **** to most no matter what he does of that I'm convinced
 
He should've been out, why pull Bell and Harrison, and not Ben
