Good morning fellow Phins fans: :dolphins:
I decided to start another thread on Pittsburgh QB Roethlisberger's injuries. However, this thread is to focus on the impact that it might have have on our opener.
As we all already know, Ben's injuries included a broken jaw, broken nose, 9-inch gash on his head, numerous broken teeth and some "minor" injuries to his knees.
These injuries, of course, are the result of a motorcycle accident that he was involved in yesterday morning. His motorcycle collided with a car. And this multi-million dollar QB was foolish enough not to be wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. And as we all know, its not against the law to not wear a helmet in PA. With all that said, its was extremely careless, on his part, not to have worn a helmet. Motorcycle injuries are often very dangerous, and more times than not, are fatal. So all in all, Big Ben is quite lucky to still be alive. And let me make it clear here and now....we are all very glad that he's alive and that the extent of his unjuries weren't serious enough that he might be crippled or mamed.
Anyway, those are the facts as we know em'.
So how does this incident impact us? Well, we play our NFL season opener vs. Pittsburgh. With Ben's injuries being what they are. IMO he will be doubtful for that game. And let's not forget that our very own C'Pep might not be ready for the opener either.
So what does that leave us?
We could well end up playing game with Joey Harrington as our starter vs. Charlie Batch as theirs. In what was originally billed as a monster showdown between the reigning World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers and the up and coming Miami Dolphins (6 gm win streak to end 2005 season), we could end up getting a real snoozer ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!
For my part, I hope that Big Ben recovers quickly. The competitive spirit in me wants to see my PHins in there with the "best" team. I want to know where our team really stands after week 1. Now don't get mew wrong, I don't mind a freebie every now and then. But when you're talking season opener and this kind of match-up, I want to see the real thing!!!!
So with that said....Ben get well soon. And we'll see ya on opening day.
GOOOOOOOOOOO PHINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
