Well we all know what our opinions are worth so I'll add mine.
I see all the starters playing a couple of series if not the entire half.
Any significant injuries from yesterday? I didn't notice anything.

None that I saw.
right, all of Steeler Nation would seriously lose it if Ben would twist a knee in a meaningless game, so he could get reps?? No reason for it. Ben can toss a football on the sidelines with AB and LBell in their sweats. I can't remember the last time we had all of our big guns going into the playoffs. No reason to get cute against the Browns.

Steelers' blueprint: Sit out Browns game, prep playoff push
Ben Roethlisberger said he thinks "a lot of guys should get healthy" Week 17 against the Browns.
The Steelers are locked into the No. 3 seed, making Sunday's game meaningless. Pittsburgh could certainly use the opportunity to rest some of their stars or at the very least scale back a few workloads. There is no reason for Le'Veon Bell to play every snap against Cleveland, and the same goes for OLB James Harrison.

The Ravens play next week, for the last time!
Jarvis Jones will be auditioning for his team next year.

And the Saskatchewan Rough Riders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers should be watching very closely. You know the thing that galls me the most about this whole thing is that he never played any different than he ever has. In fact, I thought he played slightly better at the beginning of the year and unfortunately might earn a modest FA sign with the team. But now after four years of sucking badly, and most of us begging for him to be cut the experts suddenly realize he is terrible and sit him. Wow, Mike I could have saved you a lot of time and money.
* Just looked at his contract and structuring basically made it more expensive to cut him then keep him. It would have been a 5 million dollar hit to get him off of the books last year.
I'd play every backup I could. Every healthy backup would get the majority of playing time.
Ben/Brown/Bell/Starting O-line/ don't see the field.

A few of the Oline would have to play. They are thin on the active roster Finney, Mihalik and Hubbard. They have to release someone to bring up someone from the PS. Defense is a little different. They can field a near full team of seconds and thirds. Maybe Burns and or Cockrell have to play becauseyou need a lot of corners for sub packages.
I think you could tuck **** in for the game.And play Gilbert. As **** was a little banged up. So when a **** is banged up it needs its rest for the next big performance.

I'd like to see Justin Gilbert play against his old team and grab a couple int's.
Our backups beating these **** Stains would be priceless.
I agree. He wasn't a problem child, he gave full effort. He just wasn't good enough to fulfill his promise as a first round pick. Wasn't his fault he was over drafted. If he was a third or fourth round pick, he would have been cut un-notably two years ago.

Just keep in mind how well Ben tends to play his first game back from an injury or even a bye week.
Ayers should be back on punt returns......
Why not. He won't be there in playoffs, but could be a glimpse for next year.
Just remember how this team plays with Landry Jones at Quarterback.

That's how I see it too
We have the #3 seed... beat #6, then get Oakland with no Carr. That would seem to put us in the AFC Championship game in Foxboro, but with some luck the Pats will lose and ........the AFC Championship Game will be played in Pittsburgh!
Let me dream for a week.
I heard Tomlin name Brown, Bell and Pouncey as likely getting a track suit Sunday. I couldn't hear him name Roethlisberger. I might have missed it. I hope so because that makes zero sense to me.
Yeah, he said Ben too.
OK good thanks. My kids were yelling at each other in the background. He must have said it first, but all I heard was AB, Bell,Pouncey. I'm fine with that in terms of inactive and realize that you can only have 7 or 8 in actives. I disagree that everyone who gets a helmet plays. Timmons and Shazier can have a helmet but that is valuable experience for Metackavich and Williams. Jarvis has been a loyal employee and deserves a right to put game film out there in place of Harrison. And Moates might as well get most of the snaps for Dupree who spent most of the season on IR.
