I didn't know it was a spinal concussion, hmmmmm. could of swore i saw 'mild' concussion, which no offense is not serious.... BUT if its a spinal concussion whatever the hell that means, sound a little more serious. cmon its 3 degrees outside, I'm going stir crazy, next up on my conspiracy theory list, is Mike Tomlin actually from space? discuss. haha alright im logging off, i need to go do something with my day. have a good one MGS'ers

I would love if the people outside steeler nation agreed with that. But my point was amidst a struggling offense that we were having and coming up agaisnt some playoff competition, no one cares to believe that its possible we were playing possum? I mean the stretcher? really? ok. im sorry guys. ill drop it.

Spinal concussion is a really effing bad stinger.  Reportedly, Ben couldn't feel his arms.
If you've ever had a herniated disc in your neck, you have a minor understanding of what Ben felt.
Med guys would have taken extra precaution thinking fractured vertebrae.
Good news - spinals typically don't have the cumulative effect of brian concussions.

When Maddox got the hell knocked out of him back in the day, he had both brain & spinal concussions. I also believe he lost feeling in his legs, which Ben didn't do.

The doc that the Steelers use is firstclass.  That shit wasn't fake.
