New "Ram Rule" (Rams vs. Steelers)

[RunTheBall]

If Lambs get a TD here I think they win this game. Vick looks absolutely horrible. Don't see him gettin Pissburgh into scoring range.

Vick has been overrated his entire career.

And Foles with the likely game losing int. Only played well against the Hawks so far this year. Sigh.
EDIT: Lambs not dead yet but no TOs left and need to get a TD.

 

[RunTheBall]

Steelers should go for it, literally no downside to going for it.

 

[ringless]

Rams are going to have one more drive to try and win the game with 2 minutes left. I hope they lose after keeping that Pitts offense in check after the first.

Didn't that feel dirty? (but I'm with you)

Good reversal via instant replay.
Lambs 1-2.

 

[RunTheBall]

Wonder if any Rams players will be popping off on Twitter after this game? #1-2

 

[Msfann]

That felt good after how they beat us.

these idiots only come to play against the hawks :stirthepot:

I've been looking forward to Big Ben coming to the Clink for YEARS

Screw you Rams if you just denied me this

Hope you finish 1-15

Early word is that Ben will be out for four weeks. If Vick can manage to be 2-2 over that stretch I'll take it. I don't see how we beat the Ravens this week though. They're 0-3 and aren't bad enough to be 0-4.

Ben has a sprained MCL, ACL is fine, nothing torn, be out 4 to 6 weeks. With Ben that usually means 3 weeks.

Hmm, we'll see.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Ben Roethlisberger's bone bruise is a bigger concern than his MCL sprain. Roethlisberger has been given a 4-6 week timetable, but RapSheet and several others have reported it is more likely to be a six-week absence.

And

Most typically, a direct blow to the outside of the knee would include damage to the medial collateral ligament, the structure that runs along the inside of the joint -- connecting the femur (thigh bone) to the shin bone (tibia) -- and keeps the knee from rotating sideways. Without damage to other structures of the knee, an MCL sprain alone generally does not need surgery, and his recovery would depend on the grade of the sprain.

By definition, sprains involve some degree of tearing of the ligaments: a Grade 1 sprain, for example, involves only a small amount of ligament fiber damage, whereas a Grade 3 sprain translates to a complete tear. The expected timetable for recovery for MCL sprains generally are 1-2 weeks for a Grade 1 sprain, 3-6 weeks for a Grade 2 sprain and up to 2-3 months for a Grade 3 sprain.

When Roethlisberger does return -- early indications were that the Steelers were anticipating a 4-6 week recovery period consistent with a Grade 2 sprain -- he will almost certainly require a brace on the left knee, which may affect his mobility.

The x-factor in his recovery time is the bone bruise, which could add to the timetable if it doesn't heal as quickly as the ligament. For now, though, the team is undoubtedly relieved that it is just an MCL sprain rather than other alternatives.

3 weeks sounds awfully optimistic to me.

Seen the play, very close to the initial Carson Palmer hit that knocked him our with the Bengals, guy was a DB instead of a lineman though, was not intentional .

I wonder how long Williams has the team practice that "oops, I stumbled but still managed to hit the QB low enough and hard enough to injure him and collect a bounty" move? I'm sure he already has the team prepping for Carson Palmer.

Yeah, I typed that yesterday before I heard anything about the bone bruise. Today's paper quotes Ben as saying this is the worst pain he's ever been in from an injury.

 

[Threedee]

He should try getting raped in a public bathroom. That probably sucks, as well.

Never charged with a crime. Old news. Try something more up to date like our second string QB who went to jail for running a dog fighting ring.
