Initial Thoughts on eagle Game

[CoolieMan]

slow start for the offense - as usual

Watt of course makes a big play....and the o still sucks

OL has got to step it up

punt coverage with the big hit forces a to deep - gotta punch it in now

schocker bullshit ******* penalty - should have been offsetting

2 TOs only 3 points....****

sort of funny that CAIII thought the had to jump in and protect Washington

Well they get out of the 1st quarter only down 7 - 1st qtr has sucked for the team this season

eagles offense making it look ******* easy

finally a nice drive and a TD for MUUUTTTHHHHH....gotta keep feeding him the rock

17-13 at the half not too bad considering how the offense started

pleae start passing more on 1st down

**** take that damn pitch to najee out of the playbook

tackling ******* sucks at times...too many misses that would have stopped 1st down plays

offense cratered after the ******* najee fumble

defense looks worn out

**** too many guys dropping, Fields, DJ, kazee now ******* TJ hope none are serious

defense just couldn't get off the ******* field today. offense was not good, but the defense needs to step it up an d make some ******* tackles

glad to see Watt was able to get up and walk to the locker room

**** this game

**** the eagles

beat the **** out of the rats next week

That was quick Coolie!

This offense is predictable. They have to bring the offense into the 21st century. And that toss/pitch/ whatever it is needs to go. The Steelers burn all the wrong calories at times.

 

[slashsteel]

Just a bad performance overall, but the momentum shifted after the Najee fumble. That really was the turning point of the game.

You won’t win many head to heads with 13 points on the scoreboard.

Not good enough on both sides of the ball.

That was quick Coolie!

[black and gold apex]

Defense cannot get off field. Defense secondary do not tackle well.. Porter is afraid to hit,. Wilson has not looked good two games. Our receivers just cant get open. Eagles way better than steelers

 

[SteelerFan448]

Tomlin says it's a "low ankle" for TJ.

 

[Litos]

This loss was expected, don't care about the final score. What I do care is about:
1. Injuries
2. Bad tackling form, missed tackles must be in the tens, easily.
2b. Defense couldn't stop the Eagles O except once ? The fumble, right?
3. Oline was manhandled too. Hope a team pays Moore enough to get a comp pick out of him and if not at least that the Steelers dont give him a new contract

That means out for next week.

 

[Punxsutawney]

A pretty weak performance on both sides of the ball, though the status of Watt pretty much overshadows everything right now. If he is hurt to any significant degree, we might as well start looking forward to the draft. Their record without him says it all.

Today's game illustrated the need for another above average player at WR more than any other game to this point.

They also need much better OL play, though I'm hoping it can improve from within over the next year with Frazier and McCormick gaining experience and Fautanu fully recovering from injury.

I'm also starting to think CB might once again be a top need in the offseason. Porter has been a huge disappointment and though Jackson has made some plays this season, he also gives up a lot of them.

 

[Steelmann]

I mean the Naj fumble was unfortunate. But you’d have to be a real,real homer to think we are better at this point than the Eagles. I mean…I thought our D ,wasn’t even that horrible today,but they put up 27. 128 yards in the air by Russ and 14 yards by Naj will not win us games. You can see the difference of having 2 WR’s obviously. Brown and Smith are a nice one,two punch. We had to be way more aggressive offensively.

I don’t know how many times on here we all said….if George goes down we are up **** Creek. From early off-season on. For all the accolades Kahn has received…..this has turned out to be a huge fail.

All in All I won’t get too down on today’s game. I hope the players heal up during the week. Big game on Saturday.
TJ’s effort and effect on our team is so special. Let’s hope he is good.

Best news of Day 1.A
1. B. Punched ticket.
Worst comes to worst good chance 6th seed worst. Use last week to have a bye. Get this team healthy. Gonna be days like this. Didn't get any help. Call on fight and long snap were ridiculous.

 

[Steelersfan84]

You lose to the Cleveland Browns. You also lose to sb contenders.


Coach of the year bullshit?

 

[Cras108er]

Have to be more creative early on. Its as though we concede the first 4 or so possessions.

 

[bkwheat28]

Thought toward end of game that this is what Cowher used to do to people. Just run the ball down your throat and run out the clock. My other recurring thought throughout the day was that Sirianni has the most punch able face and overall body language of a total doucher. We got outplayed. Hope we learn from it. BIG one next week. B I G ! ! !

 

[Buster]

Convince me that this team can string playoff wins together to win a Super Bowl.

She must be so thankful for the Little things in life.

Double whammy there

Game summary:

Eagles good, Steelers not.

MT got his .5.


We all good this year all.

 

[steelhurt]

Wasn’t a bit surprised because of their horrid record in Philadelphia. Tomlin is now 0-4 there so I wasn’t expecting much.
I know this. The receiving corp is not good aside from Pickens who is legit star and Cal Austin who is probably a number 4. They need to desperately upgrade that position in the off season.
The playcalling although better than last year is still behind the best offenses in the league.
They seriously need an upgrade over Najee this off season.
Defense is a very poor tackling group. Also, still can’t cover the middle by of the field.
I’m sorry, but team will most likely be one and done in the playoffs because of what I pointed out.
I’m not assigning blame so don’t take it as a bash the HC. They are simply an ok team that’s overachieved but are lacking some quality at WR, RB, and CB,

Lose in the wild card round. Perfect scenario if you are content with kissing your sister.

Good summary right here.

This looked like every game we play in Philadelphia, so whatever. That isn't to say the last drive was pathetic. The Eagles produced more on the final drive than our offense did in the entire half.

The Steelers have some pretty glaring weaknesses at receiver and defensive back. By far the two biggest needs heading into next year.

I really hope we beat Baltimore on Saturday.

 

[Cras108er]

We now know Williams was't the answer. I really expected this to be his coming out party. I think he is having a hard time grasping the offense which is making him a liability.

 

[SteelerFan448]

Maybe he was a bit overzealous on the block, but this video of Washington blocking Slay out of the stadium is pretty awesome.
