[News] Joe Flacco Wishes Ben Roethlisberger Was Playing

[GageRage]

Yeah because now you have to worry about the Qb running with the ball as well as throwing. I can see us losing the game because the defense couldn't muster up any fight against Vick sadly.

Normally I say I want every team at their full strength because to be the best you have to beat the best....this year not so much. I'll take any win anyway I can get it.

[gooftroop]

A win vs the Squealers would make all the pain go away. Well, for a week (or ten days), at least...

Ben realized this game wouldn't feel right w/out Suggs playing, so he decided to sit this one out as well.

Great post. What a great rivalry between the 2. Wonder if Suggs still has Ben's backside in his fridge? Maybe they should buddy up and watch the game together in the skybox. Now that would be interesting, would love to hear the heckling and sparring between the 2. Suggs would win the verbal battle for sure. Edited September 30, 2015 by salamander

I'm with Joe. Beating the Steelers means so much more when Ben is there to smack around. We all remember Upshaw laying the lumber on Ben early last season. If that same hit is made on Mike Vick en route to a victory, would anyone really remember it? Maybe, but it certainly wouldn't be as significant in the grand history of the Ravens/Steelers rivalry. Beating a Vick-led Steelers team just won't feel anywhere near as fulfilling.

Who remember when we got Batch slapped? Now it's Vick turn

 

Vick-timized?

At this point, I'd gladly play a team that is not at full strength - we need all the help we can get. Too bad Wallace, Brown and Bell aren't sitting too.

Yea right....at this point I doubt the ravens could beat Marylands football team, or even Towson. In fact I'd rather pay money to see those games then whatever I've been watching these past 3 sundays.

"Too bad Wallace, Brown and Bell aren't sitting too." Who's Wallace?

I'm sorry, but I won't like our chances in Any game until we prove that we can win even One. I love my Ravens, and support them NO MATTER WHAT, and I scream like a banshee or a man who's hair is on fire when I watch them play. But, bottom line is that I am a realist, and just because I'm rooting for them as hard as I can and hoping for the best, I can't just pretend I haven't seen how my team has played so far. I'm just hoping, at some point, we really Can turn things around. Hard to believe, though, while Pees is still our DC.

[Bob21043]

OOPs - my fault (brain fart) - was still thinking Mike Wallace was with them! Man, this is a bad season

[thegooddoc456]

You think the Steelers care that Suggs is out? Shut up and go win the game Joe!

[FloridalovesRavens]

The thing of it is if we win it will be said because Ben was not playing. It is a lose lose situation lol. I really think the public and all the analysts think the Steelers are playing themselves. I have not heard much about the Ravens except our losing record.

"Joe Flacco Wishes Ben Roethlisberger Was Playing". Uh huh, sure, Joe.
