Big Ben is hurt!

 

[Vykng]

UH OH! BIG BEN!!!! NOOOOOO!

 

[MSULions]

 

[Jackal King]

Oh No!

 

[falconeyed]

Uh oh.Edit to say that looks blown. This is mere speculation from me.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I hate to see Big ben go done...that's terrible...such an injury free game and now this crap

 

[Vykng]

Oh Man.....Poor Ben.

 

[mulliganm]

Holy Crap that looked bad

 

[Sol D]

Oh Big Ben not good

 

[Babu Bhatt]

He tore his MCL. I'm calling it based on the replay.

 

[stevec]

Sounds nasty. Only have radio here.

 

[RBM]

Oh man........That did not look good

 

[my man otis]

Ooo, knee bending that way is never good.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Oh man that did not look good.

 

[Steel Dillo]

The clock may have just struck midnight for Big Ben

 

[Woz]

Tore some "CL" there... that looked awful.

 

[GoFishTN]

That looked bad.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Charlie Batch? Good thing they are close enough for a long FG already

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I looked once and it looked a bit like the Raiders RB from a few years back...maybe 10 years back...not good.

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

Oh man...I hope that isn't that serious and it was just a temporary hyperextension....

 

[Cowboys#1]

OUCH.:(week 5 injury woes continue.

 

[Parmcat]

UGLY....out for a long time....ugly

 

[Woz]

Downgrade your Steelers.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

That looks like a bad injury. Hopefully it's just hyperextended, but the way it happened, it could be a torn ligament.

 

[Sol D]

And Al is saying he will have to come out for at least one play. Hello! Is he watching the game?

 

[gilpdawg]

That didn't look good at all. Hope it's not an ACL, although I hate Pittsburgh, you hate to see that.

 

[njxbean]

pick up maddox?? whats his deal.... rib injury?

 

[Corporation]

They just jinxed Jeff Reed as well, saying 23 in a row under 50 yards.Hope Ben is ok.

 

[PC Load Letter]

Just when I was pencilling in Pittsburgh for the SuperBowl.Total freak accident. That stinks.

 

[rzrback77]

Can't believe Al Michaels said he'll ahve to come out for at least a play.

 

[schooner44]

On the replay, his knee didn't seem to go "backwards" at all. May just be an ugly hyper extension.

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

I looked once and it looked a bit like the Raiders RB from a few years back...maybe 10 years back...not good.

Nap McCullom's (sp?) injury was MUCH MUCH worse.... It was almost McGahee like.

 

[Neo]

And Al is saying he will have to come out for at least one play. Hello! Is he watching the game?

Unreal. What a moron.

 

[Badm]

I don't get to watch too many Steeler games, but when I have, Big Ben has played with so much poise. His stats don't dictate it, but man, the guy is a complete winner. Sucks to see him go down like that.

 

[Corporation]

That looks like a bad injury. Hopefully it's just hyperextended, but the way it happened, it could be a torn ligament.

I thought hyperextension as well, hopefully nothing else.

 

[18246]

that hurts so mother####ing much

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I see injuries like that and I feel dirty watching the game...wish they could invent something to go around the knee to absorb those kind of hits...I know it's a pipedream but maybe one day.

 

[MSULions]

Charlie Batch? Good thing they are close enough for a long FG already

sadly enough, I think the Lions wish they still had him

 

[Steel Dillo]

There acting like Reed is guaranteed to make it.

 

[Sol D]

I looked once and it looked a bit like the Raiders RB from a few years back...maybe 10 years back...not good.

It did look bad but not as bad as the Raiders RB. I think it was Napolean something.

Knee Airbags.

We can only hope for Hyperextension.

I was just saying I tore my ACL and MCL at the same time a few years ago. The pain is unreal.

 

[Dvorak]

Playing "Take Me Out" over the loudspeakers. I'm a Browns fan, and I pray they'd never do something like that for an injured player, even a Steeler.

 

[Marc Levin]

It was straight onto the knee and they were bending and rebending the knee checking tendon and ligament damage (as a skiier, I have had, and have seen, the test multiple times).What you can take from them bendin gth eknee back and forth is two things:1) he did NOT break a kneecap or any bones.2) he did not not completely tear any of the tendons leading into the knee or they Unfortunately, it is WAY too early to know if he tore any ligaments or strained any tendons - they won't know any of thet w/o an MRI. I'd be surprised if he didn't have an MRI regardless.

 

[Winston Smith]

Not much of a Steeler fan, but I like Big Ben. He was just really starting to come into his own. Let's hope he is ok

 

[Corporation]

LOL, they called it at 10 seconds, a penalty is a 10 second run off, game over.

You're right...I admit the MoP gets real sqeamish on knee injuries...I suffered a bad one in school, I just hate watching them on TV.

My gut feels like feels like I've got a crazed baboon trapped inside.
