Don't forget Witten's spleen exploding!It's already happened once this season with Amendola's collarbone injury. It's most likely just a coincidence, though, as I haven't heard of a (non-neck related) football related injury being life threatening until then.
Brown might not be out, Haloti Ngata - the dude who is better then any guy on your entire roster, might be, and Suggs is still hurting. I'm not trying to trivialize how hurt you are, Big Ben is probably bigger then any of our losses. Fact of the matter is we have quite a few good players out or seriously hurting too.Injured players on the Ravens
Ray Lewis
Lardarius Webb
Injured players on the Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger
Antonio Brown
Troy Polamalu
Rashard Mendenhall
Marcus Gilbert
David DeCastro
Sean Spence
That's just players who are OUT. I'm not even counting the zillion others (Clark, Dwyer, Redman, etc) who are less than 100% because of injury.
Please explain to me how those equate to each other? I'm not making excuses because Pittsburgh needs to get it done regardless of injuries, but implying the two teams are anywhere close to equivalent on the injury front is a bit silly. Pittsburgh can still very well win this game, as they always play the Ravens close even without Big Ben (see: couple years ago with Dixon). If they don't win, it will be because they didn't play well enough to.
Jesus Christ, our defense...........some higher power doesn't want us in a SB. Next man up I spose.Ravens just lost CB Jimmy Smith for the year. Wow, this will be like a preseason game with all the backups playing, lol.
The Packers' injury situation was blown out of proportion just because of sheer numbers. Most of their guys on IR were backups and non-crucial positions. The most significant injuries were to Finley and Grant, who are both replaceable. Rodgers was healthy, which was all that really mattered. Literally the two best players on Pittsburgh are injured, so I'd say they are in a far worse position. They've still been playing well too, which is a testament to the stability and depth they have.After the Packers won the superbowl with all the injuries sustained, I feel like this injury bitching (outside of maybe ray lewis / big ben seeing as they are their teams undeniable leaders) is annoying... this is the NFL there are plenty of players ready to step up. Look at guys like Victor Cruz who when given an opportunity go crazy.
ray lewis is not very good anymore.I feel like this injury bitching (outside of maybe ray lewis / big ben seeing as they are their teams undeniable leaders) is annoying...
Leader =/ elite...ray lewis is not very good anymore.
Obvious bias by rival fan is obvious. Ray Lewis is still a beastray lewis is not very good anymore.
Obvious bias by homer is obvious. Ray Lewis really only contributes on the leadership front anymore, he is nowhere near as good as he used to be.Obvious bias by rival fan is obvious. Ray Lewis is still a beast
