View Full Version : Eagles/Steelers thoughts
mriggles 09-21-2008, 11:15 PM Well I am just back from the linc & let me summarize the game by saying this. I had flash backs to " BUDDY BAll" :)
I am not sure if there is such a thing as a perfect defensive game plan, but today was about as close as it gets. Jim JOhnson had an absolute amazing plan today & they completely shut down one of the most prolific offenses in the sport.
9 sacks, (should have been 12) if you count the times big ben managed to get back to the line.
Unbelievable play by our linebackers & oh yeah this just in... Brian Dawkins aint washed up!!!!!
I am so proud of my defense, every single guy contributed & big ben was on the run almost every snap.
Willie Parker 12 carries, 12 yards.. SHUT DOWN
The crowd was amazing... absolutely amazing.. Not sure how it sounded on the tube but it was electric.
Those were the positives, now for the negatives... well not a whole lot to be honest with ya, the fact that westbrook went down & we still gutted the game out is a good sign. The eagles whole plan changes when bwest is not there, then you add on DMACs injury & Uncle Andy kind of called a conservative 2nd half offensive game plan.
After 3 weeks I am really happy with my birds... they very easily could have been 3-0, the fact is they are 2-1 & easily among the elite in the nfc.
1. cowboys (they went into lambeau & took care of business & eeeked out a victory against the eagles) They have played real teams.
2. giants I think the eagles & the giants are on the same level, but I have to give the nod to the defending champs, but they barely beat a piss poor bengal team at home... that is not a good sign for giants fans. There schedule has been cake & they wont play a real team for a couple of weeks yet.
3. Eagles... A solid number 3 with a bullet, but westbrooks injury brings the eagles back to reality. He is the one guy we can not lose.
TO summarize, I now know the eagles are among the elite in the league & they are in this thing for the long haul...
ON TO CHICAGO NEXT WEEK!!!
Big C 09-21-2008, 11:55 PM Over/Under:
350 passing yards for McNabb against the Bears?
(Today, if you saw the early game on FOX, mriggles, Tampa Bay QB Brian Griese had 407 yards)
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 09:34 AM Over, I'll say 356..
Brian Damage 09-22-2008, 10:45 AM The Eagles D is really impressing me. They are so fast and hard hitting.
TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 04:22 PM The Eagles D is really impressing me. They are so fast and hard hitting.
I'm amazed that the Offensive Coordinator for the Steelers gets paid to do nothing and not call plays to respond to the blitzing like a RUNNING PLAY-lol What a A$$hole

ON TO CHICAGO NEXT WEEK!!!Congrats on your team beating my Steelers, the Eagles played a great game. IMO if the Eagles would have Blitzed the Cowboys the way they did the Steelers they would have beat Dallas hands down. The Eagles are clearly a better team than Dallas, and it will show, the next time they play. As for the Steelers, one game doesn't make the season. The Steelers will get it together, you can bet your ass on that.
Great win, mriggles & wreckless!

Now you talking stupid, your team got their A$$ beat and you want to come on here today and say dumb sh*T like-"the eagles are clearly a better team than dallas" NO, it's just that your team STINKS and will lose gain to the Ravens on Monday Night Next week
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 05:05 PM Thanks Bandito. It really takes a lot for another fan of another team to admit a loss and to give congrats. I think it shows your class and respect. Hope the Steelers do well further on.

TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 05:07 PM :lol: :lol: Somebody's mad
Only if my team lost I would be mad. He comes on here crowning the Eagles like they did something great, the steelers had a chance to win down 12-6 in the 4th quarter. So what is all this dominance he is talking about?
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 05:13 PM He's talking about on defense I assume. Our offense was not bad. Donovan started out 15/15 but besides that, nothing really happened on offense. I'd say on defense we dominated their offense. Both defenses were great yesterday, hence the yardes overall and the low scoring.
I also think it takes a lot to admit your team lost or another team won. If the Eagles lost a game in which D got sacked 9/10 times, I'd be frustrated. It would be that kind of a game where a lot of fans would.

but my point is why did he have to talk sh*t about DALLAS when they had nothing to do with the Steelers losing to the Eagles?-lol So that's what irritated me. He is taking shots at my team because his team lost
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 05:20 PM Yeah, I don't know. You'll have to ask him that. I think we played great against Dallas, and Dallas did against us last week, but they came out on top. I could sit here and say, what if we didn't lateral the ball at the end of the game like idiots lol and threw a hail mary to win it, but that would be an essential dream, so no.
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 05:21 PM Plus there's still another game in Philly the last game of the year which will be important, so I'll have time to look forward to that, instead of dreaming.

So now I'm rooting for the Steelers to lose every week because of their fans
TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 05:23 PM Plus there's still another game in Philly the last game of the year which will be important, so I'll have time to look forward to that, instead of dreaming.
We don't know if it will be important especially since it's the last game of the season.
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 05:25 PM I don't know- Dallas or Philly could be on top come the end of the season, sh*t the Giants could be too lol, so it might not matter. But it has mattered before, the second to last game on Christmas Day, Eagles @ Dallas 3 years ago.
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 05:28 PM So now I'm rooting for the Steelers to lose every week because of their fans

I don't like when the Eagles play on holidays, like this year-Thanksgiving Night. Such a inconveince
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 05:52 PM Are they on Thanksgiving this year, vs who? I like them, I like football on Thanksgiving because you're off and you can watch football all day before you eat lol. I liked when the Eagles were on Thanksgiving I think it was in 88 and they played a year ago or two again on Thanksgiving. Christmas Day was a change too, I'm used to watching the NBA matchups on Christmas if I watch any sports that day.
bandito 09-22-2008, 06:07 PM but my point is why did he have to talk sh*t about DALLAS when they had nothing to do with the Steelers losing to the Eagles?-lol So that's what irritated me. He is taking shots at my team because his team lostSo you can talk ***** abt my team, dont be a dumbass, and yeah the Eagles will whip Dallas ass the next time they play.

Eagles last game on Thanksgiving was in 1989. They play the Cardinals this year on Thanksgiving

Why do you have so much hate toward Dallas and you live in AFC Country? I'm very surprised by this.
bandito 09-22-2008, 06:12 PM Bandito, whats up ^Solomon can degrade my team all over this post , when someone says something abt his bandwagon team he gets all jacked off.
bandito 09-22-2008, 06:16 PM Why do you have so much hate toward Dallas and you live in AFC Country? I'm very surprised by this.I don't hate Dallas, I was just stating an opinion. I truly believe that if the Eagles would have blitzed Romo more, they would have won that game.
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 06:16 PM Oh nice. Thanksgiving games I like.
TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 06:20 PM I don't hate Dallas, I was just stating an opinion. I truly believe that if the Eagles would have blitzed Romo more, they would have won that game.
They did blitz him, but they were too afraid if they kept doing it that MB3 would get off or Felix. Don't know why the Steelers gave up on the run. That's what you are suppposed to do when you know the Defense is going to keep blitzing
bandito 09-22-2008, 06:27 PM They did blitz him, but they were too afraid if they kept doing it that MB3 would get off or Felix. Don't know why the Steelers gave up on the run. That's what you are suppposed to do when you know the Defense is going to keep blitzingThat's what really pissed me off, when they wouldn't run the ball to try to take the pressure off Ben... Piss Poor play calling to go along with a Piss Poor Offensive line.

That's what I been saying all day, what exactly does the OC of pittsbrgh get paid to do?-lol Damm he is too CONFUSED to make adjustments

GARFIELDKOOL 09-22-2008, 07:18 PM Why do you have so much hate toward Dallas and you live in AFC Country? I'm very surprised by this.
I know fans of both the Cowboys and the Steelers that hate each other because of the SB rivalry they had in the 70s.
Mr. Television 09-22-2008, 07:19 PM I know fans of both the Cowboys and the Steelers that hate each other because of the SB rivalry they had in the 70s.
That would include me. lol

Just because I am laughing at what bandito said, does not mean you have to get all offensive and take a shot at my team! Yeah, what he said about you is funny! I will tell you what, Just because Dallas will be heavily favrorite, and the media kisses Romo's ass, does NOT mean they will be a lock to win, because I will tell you what.....last year in Dallas, we almost beat you, and Jason Campbell had an excellent game except that pick he threw at the end. But listen here, he's progressing, and i have faith in him, and that we will bring our A game to big D and pull off an upset!

bandito pissed me off because he started talking about how the Eagles are better than US since they kicked his team's a$$-lol I was like-"we don't having nothing to do with the steelers losing to the Eagles
GARFIELDKOOL 09-22-2008, 07:25 PM Just make sure you have your a$$ here next week when the redskins lose
I will have my ASS here, you don't have to curse at me! Did bandito touch a nerve?!

Well, you should know how to absorb stuff like that! It's only sports. I have seen you give it to people, so you can't talk.
TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 07:30 PM Well, you should know how to absorb stuff like that! It's only sports. I have seen you give it to people, so you can't talk.
Yeah I do but i don't say a team is better than another team and that team LOST when both teams played-lol I feel the Eagles are better than the Steelers, why? Because the Eagles beat them yesterday
bandito 09-22-2008, 07:42 PM Yeah I do but i don't say a team is better than another team and that team LOST when both teams played-lol I feel the Eagles are better than the Steelers, why? Because the Eagles beat them yesterdaySo, do you think Miami is better than the Patriots since they beat them yesterday?
bandito 09-22-2008, 07:44 PM Well, you should know how to absorb stuff like that! It's only sports. I have seen you give it to people, so you can't talk.:thanks:
TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 07:48 PM So, do you think Miami is better than the Patriots since they beat them yesterday?
Yes because they won in a rout. I'm saying hat this year's Dolphins team is better than the this year's pats team.
bandito 09-22-2008, 07:52 PM Yes because they won in a rout. I'm saying hat this year's Dolphins team is better than the this year's pats team.I can't believe you just said that :crazy: I will never take anything you say seriously after a statement like that. lol
TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 07:56 PM I can't believe you just said that :crazy: I will never take anything you say seriously after a statement like that. lol
I'm saying it because they won't have Tom Brady this year. What did I say wrong? You really think that the Dolphins are going to lose to the Pats when they go to Miami? You keep thinking of the 2007 dolphins and it's a new year, under new management, new coach and new players. So that' why I say the Dolphins are better
bandito 09-22-2008, 07:58 PM I'm saying it because they won't have Tom Brady this year. What did I say wrong? You really think that the Dolphins are going to lose to the Pats when they go to Miami?

GARFIELDKOOL 09-22-2008, 08:08 PM Yes because they won in a rout. I'm saying hat this year's Dolphins team is better than the this year's pats team.
It's going to take more than one game to convince me on that.
TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 08:12 PM The Dolphins won't make the playoffs, The Pats will. The End.
I don't think either team will make the playoffs
TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 08:13 PM It's going to take more than one game to convince me on that.
If we lose to the Skins 38-13, that would mean the Skins are the better team. Period
GARFIELDKOOL 09-22-2008, 08:28 PM If we lose to the Skins 38-13, that would mean the Skins are the better team. Period
Look, don't try to twist things, the Dolphins and the Pats have to play twice. Like they say, any given Sunday.
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:18 PM Over/Under:
350 passing yards for McNabb against the Bears?
(Today, if you saw the early game on FOX, mriggles, Tampa Bay QB Brian Griese had 407 yards)
did not see it, but I heard about it... I have said it all along... The bears are not that good... I think the game will be another physical battle for the eagles...
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:20 PM I'm amazed that the Offensive Coordinator for the Steelers gets paid to do nothing and not call plays to respond to the blitzing like a RUNNING PLAY-lol What a A$$hole
they shut parker down all afternoon 12 carries 12 yards The man had nothing!!!! NADA :)
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:23 PM Congrats on your team beating my Steelers, the Eagles played a great game. IMO if the Eagles would have Blitzed the Cowboys the way they did the Steelers they would have beat Dallas hands down.

The Steelers will get it together, you can bet your ass on that.
Great win, mriggles & wreckless!
thank you bandito... I agree & i said in my post game comments after dallas game... THe defensive game plan was horrnedous & i agree if they blitzed more they could ahve won that game comfortably. I am not ready to say the eagles are better than the cowboys. Facts are facts.. Dallas beat us & the packers, that puts them best in nfc in my eyes RIGHT NOW.. I will say this... The eagles will be there right to the end!!
I don't care what anyone says...IMO the steelers are the best team in the afc, they have the total package but they ran into a buzzsaw yesterday, a nearly perfect defensive game plan. I didn't think the steelers could be shut down like that.
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:25 PM Thanks Bandito. It really takes a lot for another fan of another team to admit a loss and to give congrats. I think it shows your class and respect. Hope the Steelers do well further on.
agreed!!!!! Steelers are the class of the afc... Mark my words... They will be there at the end
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:26 PM Only if my team lost I would be mad. He comes on here crowning the Eagles like they did something great, the steelers had a chance to win down 12-6 in the 4th quarter. So what is all this dominance he is talking about?
did u not watch the game?? The eagles defense was dominating. THats the dominance he was referring too, for the record I am not crowning the eagles, I am not saying their better than dallas, cowboys beat us... period end.... Dallas right now are the class of the nfc & the league, but the eagles are not that far away!!!
TVFactFan 09-22-2008, 11:27 PM agreed!!!!! Steelers are the class of the afc... Mark my words... They will be there at the end
They will be 2-2 next week after losing to the ravens
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:29 PM I don't like when the Eagles play on holidays, like this year-Thanksgiving Night. Such a inconveince

Tough decision.
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:32 PM Yeah I do but i don't say a team is better than another team and that team LOST when both teams played-lol I feel the Eagles are better than the Steelers, why? Because the Eagles beat them yesterday
i believe the cowboys play at pittsburgh later this year... Settle your score then LOL
Mr. Television 09-22-2008, 11:33 PM tell me about it....hmmmmmm family or football???????
Tough decision.
I love Thanksgiving because the Cowboys play. If they lose though it does ruin it somewhat. :lol:

agreed
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:35 PM If we lose to the Skins 38-13, that would mean the Skins are the better team. Period
Better team that day maybe... I am not sure the eagles are better than the steelers...but they were the better team that day....
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:36 PM They will be 2-2 next week after losing to the ravens
Lets make one of our bet the rent bets... You already owe me for the eagles since you said they would be 1-3 after 4 games LOL
Double or nothing!!! STEELERS will absolutely destroy the ravens... STONE COLD LEAD PIPE LOCK
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:37 PM I love Thanksgiving because the Cowboys play. If they lose though it does ruin it somewhat. :lol:
I will have to completely alter my familys plans for turkey day... we will have to eat much earlier in the day... LOL

We usually eat during the Detroit game. :lol:
mriggles 09-22-2008, 11:44 PM We usually eat during the Detroit game. :lol:
im not sure what I am going to do... I have to leave by 5 at the latest to get there for kickoff... I do know it will be an early feast for mriggles
TVFactFan 09-23-2008, 12:25 AM im not sure what I am going to do... I have to leave by 5 at the latest to get there for kickoff... I do know it will be an early feast for mriggles
I know that's the last thing you want to do on thanksgiving night
Wreckless 09-23-2008, 08:24 AM Looks like Eagles could be 3-1 by next week too, instead of 1-3 but I'm not overestimating the Bears.
mriggles 09-23-2008, 10:05 AM I know that's the last thing you want to do on thanksgiving night
agreed... Not a big fan of anything but family stuff on turkey day... Turkey day includes football, but when I am with the family not AT a football game
mriggles 09-23-2008, 10:06 AM Looks like Eagles could be 3-1 by next week too, instead of 1-3 but I'm not overestimating the Bears.
I agree...although I think it will be another tough game...

SOLOMON???? :lol:
Wreckless 09-23-2008, 10:33 AM I think we are sparking a Thanksgiving thread from all this convo lol I love Turkey Day..My uncle goes to the local football games along with the rest of my aunts and uncles, early on before the meal. Yeah I agree MrIggles, the game won't be a gimme. Donovan is returning home. Both teams' defenses will come into play & come to play.
Wreckless 09-23-2008, 10:34 AM SOLOMON???? :lol:
I don't know if Solomon wants to bet money lol because I saw your post as well
TVFactFan 09-23-2008, 07:20 PM There are only 4 teams I would bet on to beat the Eagles
Dallas
Giants
Chargers
Broncos
icecream 09-23-2008, 07:52 PM Solomon, how is it that you live in Philadelphia but hate all their sports teams?
GARFIELDKOOL 09-23-2008, 07:55 PM Solomon, how is it that you live in Philadelphia but hate all their sports teams?
I asked him that same question, it's ok to hate all your hometown sports teams, but to diss an NBA legend like Julius "Dr J" Erving is insane.
TVFactFan 09-23-2008, 07:58 PM I asked him that same question, it's ok to hate all your hometown sports teams, but to diss an NBA legend like Julius "Dr J" Erving is insane.
I don't think Dr.J was all that good. I will give credit say that Ryan Howard is good and Mcnabb but Dr. J is A$$.
TVFactFan 09-23-2008, 07:59 PM Solomon, how is it that you live in Philadelphia but hate all their sports teams?
I think it's the way the media is in this town and the fans
Wreckless 09-24-2008, 07:41 AM lol the media is even worst in NY
Wreckless 09-24-2008, 07:42 AM And nah Dr. J is a legend.
GARFIELDKOOL 09-24-2008, 06:49 PM And nah Dr. J is a legend.
And one of the all-time 50 greatest players. He was my oldest brother's all-time favorite player. He wore the Converses (who didn't in those days)
Wreckless 09-24-2008, 09:21 PM I agree. A friend of mine and me who both follow basketball made a top 50, and a updated top 10 best all time list, and Dr. J was in both top 50. he was in the 50 best basketball players through a lot of polls and teams also.
