Pittsburgh at Philadelphia (1 Viewer)

[Billy Bats]

Let's get 7 more before the half, then the ball 2nd half. 

 

[sporthenry]

Barwin saved that play. Back was open and probably would have scored had he not jumped. 

 

[IheartGuinness]

D. Williams not playing??

 

[Insein]

Wentz didn't force it. Waited and did what he could.

 

[themitch]

Like it, get out of bounds, avoid the hit and get the 1st.

 

[fred_1_15301]

No intentional grounding?

 

[irish eyes]

Getting carved up by rookie qb, disgusting

 

[Insein]

No intentional grounding?

For what? He was hit as he threw it to the guy right there.

 

[mquinnjr]

D. Williams not playing??

He is, but so is the Birds D.

 

[shadyridr]

Mathews hurt or something?

 

[renesauz]

No intentional grounding?

TE was 3 feet from the ball ...not remotely close to grounding

Woulda liked 7 there, but hard to complain

 

[Billy Bats]

Big series coming up. Let's hold 'em D and get to halftime.

If that was the standard for intentional grounding, McNabb would have had like 5 of those a game when he skipped it in there or overthrew a guy. 

 

[unckeyherb]

Mathews hurt or something?

they've really been running a rotation in the first half.  Mathews has been getting his in the second.  Presumably because he's fresh.

Yup in real time it looked worse.  

 

[jon007]

its time for a turnover

 

[renesauz]

Blatant hold on 78

Not expecting a lot of ground yards today for the Eagles. Best hope would be for a couple receptions and maybe a TD. 50 yards would be a success IMO

Feel like the quick throws out wide should eventually open up the middle of the field.  From a fantasy perspective, the issue is the backfield is too crowded. 

 

[Billy Bats]

Get some points outta this, let's go. 

 

[unckeyherb]

This defense is ####### legit

 

[Insein]

Loving this D

 

[Thunderlips]

Eagles D is running with PIT.  Can PIT mix it up and throw in a heavy package?

 

[renesauz]

BIg 3 and out....Philly could add another score!

 

[Insein]

3 here would be nice. 7 would be glorious 

 

[jon007]

Redskins did us a solid by beating the Giants. Let's do this!!!

 

[sporthenry]

Just want the 10 point lead at half. PIT does have all 3 of its timeouts too. 

 

[irish eyes]

Awesome give philly enough time to march down field again. Way not to show up today steelers, atrocious

 

[sporthenry]

Absolutely hate that play calling. Might as well just throw it on 2nd down. 

ETA: liked that one. 

 

[unckeyherb]

Huge

 

[Billy Bats]

Play action, fake screen, screen tinthe other side? 

 

[irish eyes]

Wow just wow to give up that sh@@@@ for a 1st down

 

[sporthenry]

Guess we can flip the field but Sproles kinda gave up there. Worst case just stay in bounds. 

 

[renesauz]

was thinking the same thing. WOuld much rather he just went down in bounds. He certainly wasn't going to power through two LBs and a safety, but didn't hafta step out

 

[Insein]

Very good first half.

 

[jon007]

Steelers are going to come out throwing down field in the 2nd half.

 

[Billy Bats]

Very good first half.

Perfect first half. And the ball second half? Score and there's big pressure on the road team.  

 

[xenith]

Mathews hurt or something?

anyone?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

anyone?

Don't think so.  Would expect more of him in the 2nd, based on the first couple games.

 

[Billy Bats]

anyone?

He's fine. Game plan, Steelers run defense and too many running backs. They're running through the air.

 

[Thunderlips]

anyone?

Keeping him fresh, I guess. 

 

[renesauz]

OMG I love this kid

 

[Insein]

Sproles!!!!!!

 

[Billy Bats]

####### WOW.

 

 

[GoBirds]

Boom!

Special player here wow. 

 

[belljr]

Ballgame

 

[jon007]

 

[Cookiemonster]

Some half-assed pursuit there, Shazier.

 

[mquinnjr]

I continue to be thankful that NO didn't see any value in keeping Sproles around.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Time to find some better things to do with my evening.  What a pathetic showing.
