Week 5 - Pittsburgh Steelers - Discussion Thread

This vaunted Eagles D has forced two fumbles....second worst in the NFL

and the super hyped DL? Trash.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Vick looks fine half the time.  Problem is he's a farging moron the other half.  Can't hold onto the ball and sits in the pocket far too long.  I honestly think the d is decent enough this year and the O is solid enough that if you had a balanced O and game manager type QB who didn't make mistakes this would be a good team.

Dynasty!

[MDS]

its like 15th on the list but andy burning his last timeout after that first down was beyond moronic

not as dumb as the challenge and then wasted timeout 2 plays later

or as mike vick being mike vick

or the refusal to give shady the ball until it was too late

or the run defense

or the pass rush

or _____

Yes. When he was on the bench because the defense couldn't get off the field. That's when he looks fine.

This goes back to the play calls. You know you have a turnover machine and Vick can't carry the offense so instead of making him drop back in 5-7 step drops and throwing the ball downfield why not shorten the passing game, run the ball, then take some chances after you get some rythym. They still call plays like they're a big play offense...but they're not. They haven't had a lot of big plays this season so stop with that nonsense and focus on moving the chains.

And they did that on the last drive and were successful doing so...which means Reid will forget it ever happened

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Whatever, haters. 4-2 at the bye.

[Rome]

I hate wearing this stupid farging jersey.

I hate cheering for a team that I know is gonna shtein the bed in the end.

I hate.

[phattymatty]

i'm not mad at this loss at all. in my head i thought they'd get smoked. vick needs to die though.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It is getting more difficult to root for Vick. He continually makes more big plays for the other team than he does for the Eagles. That is the opposite of sexy. 

[Don Ho]

I'm not angry, just disappointed.

These two boners were just typical AR & Co. gaffs.  The one called right after the challenge was even more of a head scratcher. 

[Hawk]

I would have rather they just lost the game by getting stuffed on the 4th and 1.

[Rome]

I wasn't really all that upset over the loss.  That, more than anything, is indicative of just how indifferent I've become about this team.   Until Reid is gone it's just not worth the effort to get upset or excited because in the end he's not going to run the ball nearly enough, he's going to piss away timeouts and manage the clock like a dumbass, and as a result he's going to lose tough games like yesterday's.  Been there, done that about a gazillion times and I'm over it.
