Eagles @ Steelers Game Thread

Are you complaining about the coat hangar abortion game, or the coat hangar abortion thread?

my bright note would be that i knew pittsburgh was the superior team going into the game and they still were coming out of the game

they made a national tv statement by curb stomping the dream team so i dont think it would be quite this ugly in the regular season but really what has changed as far as the eagles go btwn right now and last night at 7:59

It was a preseason game.  Settle down, Mary.

Id like to curb stomp Vince Young for ever opening his frigging mouth.

shtein is getting out of hand. the media frenzy is cute and its cool to see your team spotlighted on espn all the time, but lets face it--a lot can be said for continuity in this league. the d coach is 1st year, 6 of the d-lineman are brand new, and 2 new corners were brought in. if castillo gels this group in one year hes a friggin genius.

pains to say it, but the creeper team this year might be those guys they call americas team down in texas. they are loaded,  nobody is saying a word about them and that its exactly how I would want it as an eagles fan.

Yeah VY can go farg himself for that

[Rome]

You fargers seriously need help.

Not even kidding.

[PhillyGirl]

You fargers seriously need help.

Not even kidding.

Yes.

And leave it to IGY to put all of this stock into the preseason game....make it CLEAR that the Steelers are the better team.

Best things to happen from that "game"?

No injuries
The media can now focus on the "clearly superior" team, the Steelers and stop with the Dream Team garbage. Let the Eagles do their jobs instead of deal with the hype.

[SunMo]

you are disputing that the Steeler 1s ass farged the Eagle 1s?

It has nothing to do with just last nights preseason game.

It has everything to do with the glaring weaknesses that we all knew they had from the jump. Seems to me that we are making excuses because its a preseason game. The d-line can get pressure and the corners can play balls out, it still doesnt excuse the fact that inside the hashes will be abused game to game.

I think the mindset of reid is the "explosive" offense they had last year will be the same (and it very well can and should be), so the d can stay in nickel with all 3 corners as the other team plays catch up with the pass...but as you saw last night if they get behind it can be a whole different ball game.

Are you kidding?  It was a preseason game.  It doesn't count anymore than the first game counted.

If some people want to throw themselves off the Walt Whitman Bridge over it, that's fine by me.

I think I'll wait until the regular season starts before I start panicking like a little bitch.

I think this team could be really good, but we probably won't know until midway through the season if they are gonna be.  They traditionally start slow under Reid and with all the new pieces I don't expect this year to be any different. 

[reese125]

I'm nervous. Just tell me everything will be fine.

The same Steelers team got beat by the taterskins last week, Rex Grossman put up yards against their first team defense.  I wouldn't put too much stock into a preseason game. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't put stock into the outcomes of PS games

However it doesn't take much to see when a team is whipped physically or to see certain parts of the team have issues (LBs)

That is what concerns me the most.
