Big shout out to Footballguys for sending the "breaking news" email a mere 7 hours after the announcement was made the Ben wasn't playing. Seriously?

No offense to anyone but Dennis Dixon??? The 3rd string QB? I understand Batch is OUT for the next 6 weeks too but Dixon???Sure, it will be fun for owners to take a look at the ex-Duck but c'mon, no way this guy is ready to step on the NFL field and take control of a game, no less against Ray Lewis and the Ravens who prey upon inexperienced QBs. Sure, Pitt will try and run the ball but I think they have zero chance to win the game, and this will push them down to 6-5...Super bowl aspirations are fading quickly. Oh yeah, and hairboy is out on defense for Pitt too. Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, Heath Miller have about zero value this weekend. I would be shocked if Dixon could throw for more than 100-150 yds in this game.

And I sat Witten for Milleroops

I have no data to back this up, but aren't TE's usually a security blanket for back-up QBs?

i sure hope so seeing i am starting miller!

That's what we pay the big bucks for.

I"m just glad I clinched my division already so I sit Ben and play Cutler against Minny's #19 pass defense

I'm just hoping that Mendenhall comes out healthy from this game...Raven D will be all over the run game even moreso with Ben out..
