An MRI Sunday night delivered the worst fears for the Pittsburgh Steelers as Ben Roethlisberger at age 37 will need right elbow surgery and is out for the season.
[hide] “Ben Roethlisberger had an MRI on his right elbow Sunday evening and it was determined by the Steelers’ medical team that surgery will be required. He will be placed on our Reserve/Injured List and is out for the season,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said.
With an 0-2 start, there are some many dynamics to this for the present and future.
At age 37, this could be the end of the road for Ben Roethlisberger’s Hall-of-Fame career. In six quarters of play this season, Roethlisberger never looked right in throwing the ball and how tepid he looked at times in the pocket was a sign something was up in that he didn’t have confidence he could make tightly covered throws.
The Mason Rudolph era gets underway much earlier than the Steelers ever imagined and Rudolph who shined in relief of Roethlisberger vs the Seahawks, is going to have a lot of say in Ben Roethlisberger’s future. [/hide]
4 to 1 against Buffalo…. Blow it up!
Come back in April fool
When Montreal misses the playoffs again and you jump back on the Vegas bandwagon? That April?
Sheary scores! The Pens should trade for that guy!
Amazing because pre season points matter
Just like Fat Lives matter
Lol Sam doesn’t know what sarcasm is.
Hey zero tool maxim Bernier will be invited to participate official commission debate hope your boy toy trudeau shows up at the debates
Bernier is going to embarrass himself lol. 50 bucks says he shows up in blackface lol
Maybe the Steelers will wake up and pull together. When you get knocked down you got two choices stay down or get the F***k up… The city of Pittsburgh has two lousy coaches who have lost control of their team or simply cant coach. Clint I take 30 minutes to get to the mound to make a pitching change and Hurdle his players are fighting each other. And Mike POM POM Tomlin nothing but a cheer leader, bad game manager, horrible in game adjustments, and a bad X’s and O’s guys, as well as losing control of his team… Steelsrs… Read more »
They also need the players. They lost their HOF qb and their two most talented players. They need to just suck and use the picks properly.
Huge Pens fan here that’s why I’m on this site a lot…but for football I’m a 49ers fan so hopefully Steelers can lose one more week 😀
Not sure if having Ben would matter… Niners seem to be half decent this season and the Steelers have been looking as if they would be headed this way for a couple of seasons.
Kind of hope they get waffle stomped, fire their coach, get a top 5 pick and come back strong next year. A 4-12 season would be a lot more beneficial than 7-9
i DON’T WANT TO SEE ANYONE HURT…..I FRANKLY AM EXCITED TO SEE RUDOLPH, THIS BIG KID WITH RAW TALENT AND SIZE PLAY… WHY NOT STEELER ARE 0-2 AND BARBECUE ANYWAY…
ROETHLISBERGER WILL HEAL AND MENTOR HIM…….
CAPITAL LETTERS!!!!
Sorry the cap bar got stuck no yelling and i spilled coffee too uugghhh
Why are you yelling at us?
that sucks. now when the steelers go 3-13 the excuses will be there which means another year of tomlin.
oh nice not only penguins will miss the playoffs so will the Steelers
now for sure Mstartari will have his TV off for the Season
Sam we all know that’s you. I watch till the end little buddy. Not surprised you can’t get things right on here. I feel for how retarted you actually can be at times. Sad. #samsucks
Sam(e) only watches matches, not games.
Dude Penguins arent missing the playoffs…you have missed the boat.The Pirates suck, the Steelers are sinking, as are you my friend. penguins are younger, faster and more skilled all we need is one more top 4 dman to go with Schultz letang and Dumolin we are set.
Malkin’s quote yesterday of his two new linemates: Tanev and Galchenyuk they are so fast and quick..we will b fine.
Roethlisberger has been crap for a while we need to see if this kid can play…he is big strong we are 0-2 and barbeque anyway..
Malkin called Tanev the fastest skater he ever played with… I mean he played with Hags…
Tanev will be a good fit with Pittsburgh along with Dominik Kahun and Alex Galchenyuk…
We have got younger faster and more skilled….
we need one more top 4 dman to play with Schultz
Pettersson is a year older, he looked solid last year. I think he could still round out as a legit top 4 D man however JJ is a complete liability and he needs to be solved
Zero..I disagree and agree with you…. I don’t think he is ready for top 4 this year! I also do believe like you he has the talent to possibly get there.. Jack Johnson just needs to go Petterson & Grudbrason make a nice 3rd pairing…we need to make a move for a top 4 d-man
Well I did mention last time in previous articles pens will miss playoffs if they don’t make changes and fraud Murray doesnt show up. I still think team is soft in the defense Department and the goalie department
If anyone knows soft, it’s the French Retard Sam. Go to bed Sam. Don’t worry we will all remind you what you said when the Pens make the playoffs.
sam..indeed the Steelers will probably miss the p[layoffs..
.The Penguins will be better..ill checK back with you in April..
