No way, a concussion is a serious thing. One more concussion and he is out for the season and they will come easier and easier if he doesn't let himself fully recover from this one. And they are playing Oakland and Charlie Batch has been playing pretty well lately. He needs to look to the future and put his pride on the shelf, and so do all the true Steeler fans, this division is still up for the taking.

I'm a major Steeler fan, and NO, Ben should not play tomorrow!
His body has been through one trauma after another over the last four months, and I don't think he took sufficient time to recuperate after his accident or after his appendectomy. While I appreciate his dedication to his teammates and the fans, he should give himself some time to properly heal after his concussion. That's really not the kind of thing (a head injury!) he should be messing around with!
Batch will be able to play well enough to win against Oakland. If Cowher has to tie Ben to the f***ing bench to keep him off the field (for his own good!), then he ought to do it!

I haven't seen much of him so I really don't know. but I do think it's a smart move by the steelers because Big Ben hasn't been looking so great lately. Since they don't have a bye, they need to rest their starters tomorrow. but this game is meaningless really but also very beneficial for the playoffs with not having to start players since they have clinched playoff berth. if this was a win or lose it all game for the Steelers, I would say they would be in some trouble.

NO, Charlie Batch has played well when Roethlesberger has been out. Batch won the game in week 1 as the starter. They should rest Big Ben, let him heal, and get him ready for later weeks

No he should not play. He also wanted to play just after is appendicitis operation, and it was not good for him or the team.
He should go out as the third QB for the Raiders game.

No, because they can win with batch and it's not worth risking another injury or a more severe concussion

Nope. Let him sit this one out and recuperate. Batch can get it done. It's the D I'm worried about..... :(

No, he needs to be out for at least one more game.

I would love to see his "retarded face" play tommorrow. No, really Rothliesberger is injured and still suffering effects from his accident earlier this year where he "forgot" to wear a helmet. He needs to recover and re-evaluate his life.
