It seems illogical to say that 4-6 games without Ben would kill the Steelers (there are 10-12 other games), unless you're thinking that they won't really improve much when he gets back. If that's the case, then they could be in some trouble.

But even if they can't settle the quarterback issue, they'll start 2-2 at the very least. That start has never killed any team, at least not in my memory. I guess the 2008 Colts only made it back to 12-4 and a wild card after Peyton Manning had some mediocre games with a surgically repaired knee. 12-4 might fail to win the AFC North, but for sure it gets at least a wild card.
