Game Thread W3 - Pittsburgh V Philadelphia (1 Viewer)

All I can say is if you seriously DRAFTED Brittle Ben, you should've listened.
You ##### and cry that the Steelers suck, their coaching sucks, they don't play to win, Ben is brittle, Cowher was a bad coach, you bray on and on about anything negative about Pittsburgh that you can. Then, when the Steelers have a bad week or anything goes wrong, you come in pounding your chest about how everyone should listen to you. Here's something you should listen to: You're the biggest troll this forum has ever seen. See EvilGrin's sig if you need proof.
Like I said, the final act of desperation for someone who knows they are wrong is to launch personal attacks at people they don't like.I'm not going to call you a troll here. I'm going to be kind. You are just desperate. But with a clear eye you must admit that Brittle Ben has suffered a shoulder injury and then went into the locker with a bad ankle or whatever. He's injury-prone. He can't stay healthy, his OL is terrible and my eternal advice to rely on him as a fantasy QB is 100% correct.
BGP> Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Congrats on your wisdom.
 
Defense A-Offensive line FCoaching D-I hope this can be corrected, but I have to say that my concerns about the line coming into the season are even greater now. That may have been the worst performance by a Steelers oline I've ever seen.
What we did learn is our D is legit...we didnt have Keisel and it didnt seem like they missed a beat. Troy being healthy is huge. I know Westy got injured, but that offense is still dynamic with McNabb and Booker/BuckhalterCan we still trade for an OLineman?! Is Peters still holding out in BUF? ABSOLUTELY...that was pathetic..I dont know what to even say besides they might as well give the whole team a break this week and just focus on the OLine

You know that clock comment is untrue. Just stop with the personal attacks. Let's be civil here.

I haven't (and will not) read the thread, but, as a Steeler homer, I want to say congrats to the Eagles today.. you absolutely kicked our butts.. Great game plan, especially on D.. I was very worried after that MNF loss.. I was right..

Enjoy this win Birds fans!

 
As far as Ben goes, he is anything but "brittle." The guy is one tough mother ####er. But how much can you accomplish when you're already dinged up, and they're in on every play?
The fact that at multiple points in his career he has played when it actually HURT his team because he was too injured to be effective doesn't mean he is not brittle.
hmm...so being sacked/hurried/knocked down probably 25 times in the game DOESNT make him ineffectiveInjury had nothing to do with it. Seriously, you make some stupid statements that almost deserve being banned from a FF site this intelligent

Straw man argument. I did NOT say the bolded.

No, we didn't learn that our D is legit. You just gave the reason why too. Westy didn't play most of the game. You're kidding yourself if you think that Westy in anything short of the most important player on that team and offense. Westy was only in for 2 drives today and on both of those drives, Philly marched right down the field on our D. Luckily a fumble saved us the 1st time. The 2nd time, Philly scored a TD (and Westy didn't even need to be on the field for it). On top of that, McNabb played hurt for a half and this Eagles team still doesn't have it's 2 top WRs.What we learned today is that Pitt is not ready to be an elite team. That our Oline, as suspected in the preseason, is simply not good enough to compete with the NFL's top front 7's. This team needs a lot of work if they are to win a playoff game.

I think we learned that our D is OK, but not great and our OL is nowhere near where we need it to be to compete with the top teams....
 
I don't want to go overboard. After the first two games, everyone was talking about how great the Steeler offensive line is. It isn't. Now after this game, everyone's talking about how terrible the line is. Well, it certainly was today. But it's a long season, and we really don't know how good they are. I suspect mediocre, but not as bad as it was today.

Yeah, and he was 5 for 12 and did nothing to make their O better vs PIT when he was in thereI dont deny he makes their O better, but I think our D stepped up bigtime on the 2nd half

I would use those words cautiously. I think Philly IS an elite team and its basicaly between them, DAL, and GB to win the NFC. The PIT OLine was pathetic, but thye still could have won this game basically until there was 3 min left

Im digusted by this performance *mainly OLine*, but Philly is no joke

 
Why not kick a fg as soon as they're in range? Coaches never do that for some unknown reason.
Surprised everyone is still asking this...because the clock was running with only 1 minute to go, and Pittsburgh had no timeouts. Running the FG team in would have used the entire play clock, and left Pittsburgh with 30 seconds at best to attempt on onside kick and score the TD.Of course, they took like 25 seconds to run the play anyway..........

This is probably the most short sighted statement I've seen in a while.
 
A lot of posts in here ripping the Pitt O-line. While that line was certainly far from stellar, folks aren't giving the Eagles D enough credit...they left their corners on an island all day long. Normally when team sblitz that many that often, they get burnt multiple times, but Ben had nowhere to go!

I don't care how good or bad your line is, when the defense sends 6 or more virtually every play and your receivers are STILL covered, your QB is going to get crushed.

check Kaa's statements..and usually when you quote someone, you include the entire post, not 1 sentence

 
O-Line was digusting today, it was seriously sad, I felt bad for Ben. Play calling was horse####, D played a pretty good game today. I'm worried that Ben will be done by week 6 if this keeps up.

 
Wow, what an abosulte beatdown by the Philly defense. The Steelers oline is horrendous :lmao:

Congrats Eagle's fans.

This is the point. Leftwich got sacked with 1:08 on the clock. Tomlin has to be ready to send the FG team right away if the 3rd down play doesn't work. They should have been able to kick the FG and have :45 left. Then do the onsides kick and see what you can get.
