Torn meniscus....?? I'd have sworn it was a torn vulva.

No matter what you feel right now, Cincy is only two games back form Pitt and one game back from Baltimore with 2 head to heads vs the Ravens. This is a crappy start, but the Steelers were 4-4 to start the year last year. We walked into the playoffs with no QB, shoe may be on the other foot this year. The Bengals still need to have a killer instinct, or the door being cracked open is meaningless.

Don't feel sorry for them after Palmer's knee. This news just gave me some hope back for the season.because I'm pretty sure we will win the next two.

Never ever root for injuries.

But not shedding any tears over pittsburgh's loss either.

He will miss one maybe two games at the most.

It's strange that such a benign play caused such damage. Ben's getting old and all, but he's also part Lennie.

I'm sure they'll find some way to blame Burfict for this....

Just speculation but I saw an article saying the recovery time from the surgery is 6 weeks and often takes even longer

That sounds about right. One of my coworkers missed nearly two months of work after meniscus surgery. Of course he's in his 40's and his injury may have been worse than Ben's... I guess we'll see

I never do, except in the case of Rapistburger. I hope he gets hurt on every play, and as he goes down in pain I hope he sees the girls he abused faces..... Karma. On a side note, Terrell Suggs tore his bicep again as well.....

[yellowxdiscipline]

Billings tore his meniscus and is missing the whole season, so you can't just say Ben is missing two games.

He will be back the next game, complain that it's broken but "that's life", throw 6TDs, jump up and down after each one of them, and limp otherwise.

A. Brown will do dual celebrations with him where they karate kick each other (various scenes re-enacted from karate kid). When returning to sideline BR will utilize crutches until next possession.

He may also randomly place bandaid on area where it hurts so audience and camera knows.

Depends upon which procedure they do.  Simple meniscectemy is a 4-6 week recovery, a full surgery to repair is a recovery of 12-24 weeks.

I know he's the biggest crybaby in the world and yet as these major injuries that keep him out 1 game, meanwhile still waiting on Eifert's return from an ankle injury and now back injury.


Latest news, Ben has gang green and needs leg and arm amputation, will miss first quarter of next game. 

Another update, Big Ben throw for 6 tds and 500 yards with bloody nub in 3 quarters.

I'm sure when he returns NFL network will devote a 7-hour special to how tough and gritty he is, and how he represents the blue-collar working class of Pitt so well.
