IF he's OK, hold Polamalu out until playoffs!

PrintAnyone else out there agree with this? It may be counter-intuitive because our defense is not the same w/o Troy, and one could argue we need him to get to the playoffs. But, I argue that Ty Carter & others can fill in well enough for the rest of our schedule, and we need Troy's dynamic play for the playoffs (playoffs?! playoffs?!)
Also, I still don't like the fact that Troy P was on the field for that field goal against TN when he first got hurt. Super Starters like him need to play 3 Defensive downs and get off the field. His 1st half of play against TN was impressive and dominating.

Hold him out till he is healthy
your assuming we beat the Ravens once which we should. But we still may need him against them.
At the very least, I think he should sit out this Sunday :)

Hey now
No reason to get mean. KC is not Bal or Cin, so they deserve some respect.
That said, after this loss, Not. A. Chance.
Ryan Clark remarked that Coach Tomlin once asked whether he wanted to be the nail in the defense, or the hammer. "I said, 'I want to be the hammer coach.'"
no
they dont deserve respect, they are in the bottom 5 teams in the league, and they cant keep up with any good team, unlike the rams who kept up with the saints

I believe it was last season when the undefeated Giants strolled into Cleveland to face the 0-infinity Browns…..and the Browns won by 3 touchdowns. Anything is possible in the NFL, even the Browns winning.
breathe in deep feel your heart beat, just to know that life's worth livin'. feel your feet on the earth, better love it while it's still here spinnin'.

hahaha 0-infinity
Yeah let’s not call any game a gimme. Check the Lions – Steelers game a few weeks ago. That was a gimme too.
Ha!
Mendenhall will get the ball 20+ times
Did you even watch that abortion of a game Arians called Sunday? We had the best YPC rusher in the league untill that game….Bullshit Asshole took the ball away from our monster in the backfield…

Troy Polamalu's Week 10 knee injury is not as serious ...
Nov. 16 – 12:46 pm et
According to KDKA in Pittsburgh, an MRI revealed that Troy Polamalu’s Week 10 knee injury is not as serious as the one he suffered in the Steelers’ regular season opener.
The injury is being called a sprain. It’s still a concern that Polamalu hurt the same knee that cost him four games earlier this season. Look for Tyrone Carter to start at strong safety for at least the next 2-3 weeks.
If we could sit Troy out except for the two Baltimore games, I think we will be ok.
Also
the fact that Baltimore had trouble against the terrible Browns D helps in the decision to play Polamalu
How terrible was that D last night?
They might be the only thing that organization has going for it right now. Are they great, no. But they’re not terrible.

This is a no brainer
To have Troy play against Kansas City and risk losing him for the season isn’t even remotely an option.

I’d keep Troy out for at least two weeks. Any further injuries this late in the year could take him out of the playoffs…IF we make it there.
