This is the most important preseason game of them all. This game is going to decide quite a few jobs and maybe even some roster movies.
1. Buckhalter's play. I want to see if he can make it 2 quarters with those knees. It will have a big impact on what they do at RB.
2. Pinkston's play. Will he be able to run around without reaggravating his achilles? This could have a big impact on what they do at receiver.
3. Bunkley in the starting lineup. How much better will they look with this monster in there instead of Rayburn?
4. It's small, but Dirk Johnson is going to be holding the whole game. I'm going to be looking to see if Akers misses any field goals or if there are any fumbled holds. This could have an impact on whether or not Detmer makes the team.
5. The WRs. I want to see Baskett make some more plays out there. If this team decides not to bring in another WR, I'm going to have to be more comfortable about an UDFA starting.
The most important thing I'd like to see in the Eagles v. Steelers matchup is the actual game! :boom
The only thing I ever actually wish for a pre season "game" is NO INJURIES. The rest is fluff.

Same here.
Anyone else going? Hit me up with PM if you wanna meet up.
I just want to see how they do against another very physical team. I don't want to see the starting D get pushed around. I also would like to see how the offense moves the ball against a good defense. The WRs should be able to get open if the line can provide some protection.
I want to see how Parker does so i know how high to draft him for my 2nd RB

Because he is so unproven you need to use a preseason game to gauge his value?
Bunkley told me to write that
I want to see Duce standing on the Eagles sideline....
well i did find my spare garage door opener during the last game.
not sure what i will be looking for this week. one of the latter friday nights left in the summer, i dont think i watch this game live...
so basically no one gets hurt. thats all i give a crap about
I want to see the stripper in my section flash her big jugs.
Oh yeah, and no injuries.
I want to see lots and lots of injuries.
I want to see Rothelinger walk onto the field while someone yells to him that he forgot his helmet.
Would it be too much to ask to have Ruthlysbergur's new face disfigured?

ha!
i want to see one WR step up and have a big reception so everyone can overreact and thus some ppl will be like ITS ONLY PREASON ppl calm down!
and then i want one WR to do soo bad that ppl call for him to be cut and then some ppl will be like ITS ONLY PREASON ppl calm down!
i will be at invincible and will see nothing
I will be putting together my new computer. I am hoping that I don't throw it out the window.
has anyone flew jetblue lately?
i'm going to vegas tonight and someone told me that they have direct tv on the plane and individual TVs on each seat. which means i'll probably get to watch the game on the plane tonight.
flew? flown? ah, fluck it!
ha. flown.
i wanna see hines ward cry.
i wouldn't mind seeing pinkston snap both achilles so he's finally put out of his misery for good.
Duce gets released at halftime. Pittsburgh Steeler in the 1st half - Philadelphia Eagles in the 2nd.

I would have agreed with you last week, but now that it's obvious that there is zero chance the Eagles will add from outside the current team to improve the WR's for this year, I actually am behind Pinkston's recovery 100%.
Desperate times calling for desperate measures?

Yes. Actually holding out any shred of hope that Pinkston will even regain his previous form is
Desperate.

I don't use internet jargon but that deserves a 'lol'.
I'm not sure which is worse. Hoping Pinkston recovers or thinking Duce can help us out at RB. Then again, I'm still saving up for my Tapeh jersey.
Agreed on Pinky.
They need him to be healthy and ready to help.
He'll have so much tape on his ankles that the tape will be thicker than his calf muscles.

Yeah, but just wrapped it twice around would do that.
What calf muscles?

Buff.
His biceps are larger than his calf, it's sort of freak showish.
... and his feet are white!
As for what I'm looking for... the WR's to fall flat on their faces so Andy and the boys have no excuse not to seriously make a run at Branch.

wait i still dont understand the FO is so cheap it didnt want to buy Concrete Charlies book yet they will gladly pay a mil for Detmer to put a football on the tip of his finger maybe 6 times a game. What a load of shtein. NECKBEARD DOESNT DESERVE A ROSTER SPOT.

i hope Stinky pulls up and finally shows to Reid that hes spent and isnt worth a roster spot

don't let Lenny P. hear you say that
im looking for Koy to flop around on the ground a little more. His Oscar is at stake this time.
