They're saying 1-2 weeks. We play them in 3 weeks. If he does make it back for our game, he might be a bit rusty.

Advantage Hawks?

I think it would be an advantage not having a guy with that much experience and talent behind center,yeah it would.
Landry Jones has actually delivered two wins in relief duty but been pretty bad in his one start so we will see.
News reports are Ben doesn't feel too bad and should be back for the Seattle game.

I wouldn't mind seeing rapelossberger getting knocked around by our D.

Careful what you wish for EB.
Ben is easy to hate for stuff on and off the field and a game that happened 10 years ago. But you got to say he is the toughest man alive next to Favre. In the 2005 SB season the guy took a shot directly to the front of his knee in an early season game. It bent straight back about 30 degrees. I saw it and said he's out for the season. He missed one game and we know how his season ended. He has had some tough injuries but he bounces back fast.

He is big as a moose and hard to get down. He has some devastating offensive weapons at his disposal and he still has the arm to get it there. I hope to be seeing the LOB swarming on him and picking his carcass clean but its a lunch pail and hardhat appointment.
Lets just say Id rather face Jones or Vick than a gimpy Big Ben.

Meh. I'd rather see the Hawks beat them with Big Ben behind center.

It looks like he probably will be back. On a side note has anybody noticed that we play 3 games in a row with teams coming off of their bye week. Sometimes teams come out a bit sluggish after their bye but I would rather not have to play a team after their bye.

We will have only played 1 game in 23 days, so we might be sluggish as well.
However, it's a meaningful game, so I suspect both teams will be amped up.

^^This.

And he'll definitely be back for our game it looks like.

Good.

Bring it on!
