I'll take the Steelers this week. I'll take the Steelers by double digits.

I'll take the Steelers this week. I'll take the Steelers by double digits.

I hope you’re right. These games with the Eagles always scare me. The Eagles always seem to have the Steelers number.

In Philadelphia,you are right.....In Pittsburgh,the steelers are fine

If the Steelers don't win by 3 TD's...this place is going to go bananas. As soon as the Eagles put points on the board, or the Steelers punt...the "Fire Tomlin! He can't coach out of the bye." comment(s) get posted.

None of your words in a game thread should count against you. Too much unfiltered emotion

[SteelMayhem72]

I think this game will be close, havent played in a couple weeks and I think there still may be a little rust (slow start)

Any way to watch this online? My Yahoo sports app has the Rams game

[polamalubeast]

It will be Jonathan Vilma for this game on the booth

Steelers will kickoff. Won toss and elected to defer.

[Polamalu Princess]

Let's go Steelers!!!! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[stillers4me]

Happy birthday, TJ!!

[86WARD]

Nice job by Ebron.

[RunNGun]

McFarland is a blur. I'm loving the energy of this game.

[86WARD]

O-Line sack there.

[86WARD]

Started out as a nice drive and then just got really ugly...

[SteelMayhem72]

Can the offense ever match the defense??? plus nobody blocked for johnson coming back across

[RunNGun]

Diontae really does things that make you scratch your head.

[SteelMayhem72]

the idiots said his left elbow the one he had surgery on...these announcers are awful

[86WARD]

More good defense to force an Ragles punt.

[86WARD]

Johnson injured on the punt return?

[RunNGun]

DJ is looking timid to me.

[86WARD]

Not a lot of time for Ben to throw.

[86WARD]

Nice job by Claypool.

[86WARD]

DJ is looking timid to me.

I don’t think he’s in the game...

[86WARD]

First hold by the o-line all season.

[that1guy]

That wasn't PI, break for the Steelers

[SteelMayhem72]

got a break there

[RunNGun]

Terrible call. Absolutely terrible lol. I love it.

[86WARD]

Snell sucks.

[SteelMayhem72]

can we get in the endzone??????

[NCSteeler]

Wether they score gherkin or not, or got luck6 on the penalty. I like seeing them come out with a set of plays that looks like it was designed specifically for this game, against the #2 pressure defense

This is going to be one of those games where they let the opponent hang around and then lose it...

Seemed like holding but whatever

DeCaatro back to the lockerroom. So Johnson is out and DeCastro our at the moment.

[86WARD]

These run plays take way too long to develop against this D-Line.

[SteelMayhem72]

I wasnt feeling good about this game from the beginning, we havent had a lot of success against the Eagles

- - - Updated - - -

these plays are terrible

[86WARD]

O-Line needs to do better.

[Polamalu Princess]

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[86WARD]

Claypool catching balls on Slay.

Monster first half!!

[SteelMayhem72]

Claypool!!! That ought to loosen up there defense somewhat

[Edman]

The Offense has come to life, unfortunately, the Defense is getting leaky.

A missed tackle by Cam Sutton handed the Eagles seven easy points. The Eagles are clearly going into this game aggressive. Got to limit those breakdowns.

[86WARD]

Dafuq

[RunNGun]

Not the best tackling today.

[SteelMayhem72]

hold them to 3

[86WARD]

Defense is falling apart here.

[RunNGun]

We need a stand here.

[SteelMayhem72]

didnt get the roughing the passer i believe this drive would have stopped

[Edman]

The Defense has slipped down hard from last year. The Bad tackling and breakdowns of Pre-2018 are back.

[SteelMayhem72]

defense is gonna have to make adjustments...offense is gonna have to be aggressive

[86WARD]

O-Line needs to hold strong and the defense needs to get better pressure on Wentz. These guys have nothing at WR and are moving the ball at will for the most part.

[SteelMayhem72]

where is the blocking????

[Bluecoat96]

Was that... A successful screen? Lol

offense line mistake has probably cost us 7

The Secondary is crap

[st33lersguy]

Let a nobody receiver convert on 3rd and 17

[86WARD]

How do you give up a first down on 3rd & 17? Come one defense...

[86WARD]

Let a nobody receiver convert on 3rd and 17

Whole receiving core of nobodies.

Wentz is going to connect on one of these long throws to a nobody soon...

[st33lersguy]

Haden saved 7

[SteelMayhem72]

have concerns on both sides of the ball after that half

[tube517]

Tackling TJ lol

Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

[st33lersguy]

Phew. This secondary though, very troubling in a conference with Mahomes and what's looking like an emerging Josh Allen

[HollywoodSteel]

Just have to hope the coaches know how to make adjustments like in the Texans game.

We count keep saying that Wentz is throwing to nobodies. Clearly NFL receivers catch the ball when you throw it them even if they aren’t famous. That’s their job.

[Mojouw]

So...wait....Wentz didn't suddenly go from the presumptive league MVP to worse than Mason Rudolph forever? Shocking.

So I had to do adult stuff for a bit in the middle there....what happened to DeCastro?

First quarter he was injured. Not returning. Not sure they said what it was. Johnson is out as well with a back injury.

OK. Hopefully it isn't serious. For both.

Clay will be rookie of the week.

[st33lersguy]

Chase Claypool having a whale of a game

[86WARD]

That was a nice play to get Claypool in for his third TD on the day!!

Good work!!

[86WARD]

JuJu is always so happy!! Love it!

[86WARD]

Clay will be rookie of the week.

You think?!?

[86WARD]

NELSON!!!!

[st33lersguy]

Hell yeah!

[86WARD]

Let’s get JuJu a TD!

[SteelMayhem72]

did Ben not know what play was called there and had to call a timeout???

[Polamalu Princess]

Boom!!!! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[st33lersguy]

TD

[HollywoodSteel]

I have to say, I’m starting to like this new version of Steelers scripts, where we don’t make it more interesting for the other team in the second half

[86WARD]

Conner in for the TD!


31-14 Steelers!!

[SteelMayhem72]

NICE!!!! First time in 23 games we have scored over 30 points...kinda sad but we havent had Ben for most of those games either

[Edman]

Touchdown Steelers. 31-14.

17- point lead is just not safe in today's NFL. Still way too much time left for the Eagles. This defense, and especially the secondary has to buckle down and hold. Don't let up. Though knowing the Steelers, they probably might.

[HollywoodSteel]

Let’s get JuJu a TD!


Sorry, I needed Conner for my fantasy :)

[SteelMayhem72]

Defense needs to pin their ears back and get after Wentz

[HollywoodSteel]

NICE!!!! First time in 23 games we have scored over 30 points...kinda sad but we havent had Ben for most of those games either

It looks like there might be something to this idea that Big Ben makes a difference to this team. :)

[SteelMayhem72]

dont let them convert

- - - Updated - - -

another long conversion...that is very concerning

[st33lersguy]

2nd time this nobody named Travis Fulgham converts a 3rd and long in critical spots. Why do the Steelers make nobodies good?

[SteelMayhem72]

of course there is a flag

[st33lersguy]

I have to say, I’m starting to like this new version of Steelers scripts, where we don’t make it more interesting for the other team in the second half

Still a lot of game left

- - - Updated - - -

Looks like it's time to play how do the Steelers make this a competitive game.

[86WARD]

Wentz and these receivers are doing a nice job of throwing and catching in coverage.

[SteelMayhem72]

may take 40 points to win this game

[86WARD]

OMG...come on defense...that was a pathetic throw.

[SteelMayhem72]

pathetic...Haden has gotten to be a liability

[Mojouw]

2nd time this nobody named Travis Fulgham converts a 3rd and long in critical spots. Why do the Steelers make nobodies good?

Because Mike Hilton is not good 1 on 1 down the field in coverage. Hilton does a great # of things well, coverage really isn't one of them.

[86WARD]

Fucking cover someone...jeez

[SteelMayhem72]

cant ever get comfortable with this team...bugs the shit out of me

[st33lersguy]

Steelers had a 97.3% chance of winning this game after the TD to make it 31-14, just in case this turns into a nailbiter

[86WARD]

Gotta get points on this drive. Eagles just set themselves up for a potential win with that 2-point conversion.

[86WARD]

Steelers had a 97.3% chance of winning this game after the TD to make it 31-14, just in case this turns into a nailbiter

Week after week we’ve seen this probabilities not even be close to correct...lol. There’s no way any team should be above a 75% chance to win before the 4th quarter. Ask Atlanta...

[fansince'76]

Because Mike Hilton is not good 1 on 1 down the field in coverage. Hilton does a great # of things well, coverage really isn't one of them.

And sometimes the other guy is actually in the NFL for a reason and makes a great catch despite pretty much perfect coverage.

[SteelMayhem72]

Thing is you cant let them convert on 3rd and long...already happened twice

[BlackAndGold]

This pass defense regressed big time.

[86WARD]

And sometimes the other guy is actually in the NFL for a reason and makes a great catch despite pretty much perfect coverage.

Quite a lot of nice throws and catches by the Eagles.

[86WARD]

I think the Claypool reverse play has run its course this game...

[86WARD]

Benny Smells sucks!

[SteelMayhem72]

here we go, run run pass punt

[fansince'76]

NICE!!!! First time in 23 games we have scored over 30 points...kinda sad but we havent had Ben for most of those games either

They've had a couple other opportunities to put 30+ on the board this season too and just took their foot off the gas at the end and ran out the clock (Giants, Broncos).

[HollywoodSteel]

Week after week we’ve seen this probabilities not even be close to correct...lol. There’s no way any team should be above a 75% chance to win before the 4th quarter. Ask Atlanta...

I know these percentages can be ridiculous. You can’t be 98% in the third quarter if 3 scores will beat you.

[SteelMayhem72]

ok, i was wrong that time

[Mojouw]

Someone finally realized that all these giant WRs can be obstacles when you run behind them

[EzraTank]

Back to shit ball.

[SteelMayhem72]

give McFarland some carries

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Told ya he will be rookie of the week lol.

[Edman]

Steelers doing what they do best. Sit on nothing and turn a game into a stressful nailbiter.

Unfortunately Benny Snell football hasn't recovered from that fumble.

[SteelMayhem72]

wow,claypool!!! did he catch it though

[86WARD]

Not sure Claypool caught that...did the foot come down before the knee??

[SteelMayhem72]

I dont look for this to stand just because the game has got to stay close to stress us out lol

[Edman]

If Steelers win this. Claypool deserves the gameball.

[HollywoodSteel]

I can’t believe with over 30 in the 3rd quarter we aren’t safe.

[86WARD]

Incomplete. Elbow looked down first.

[SteelMayhem72]

of course

[86WARD]

Defense needs to force a punt here. If the Eagles score a TD this drive the game will be a 32-31 loss.

[SteelMayhem72]

we need a turnover BAD!!!!

[HollywoodSteel]

Whenever I get positive in a game thread things go to shit.

[st33lersguy]

Is it too much to ask for this team not to devolve into the Jets practice squad every time they get a massive lead and have a chance to finish off a team before the last 2 minutes??

[SteelMayhem72]

ok...give off the field on 3rd down!!!

[86WARD]

This is getting ridiculous

[SteelMayhem72]

there it is...3rd down conversion

[FrancoLambert]

pathetic...Haden has gotten to be a liability

Yep.

[HollywoodSteel]

Is it too much to ask for this team not to devolve into the Jets practice squad every time they get a massive lead and have a chance to finish off a team before the last 2 minutes??

No, it’s not too much to ask for. Just too much to expect.

I honestly thought we were doing it to start the second half... but nope

[st33lersguy]

Again, Nobody McGee gets a big 3rd down conversion. This is starting to be like the 2018 secondary again.

[SteelMayhem72]

secondary is a liability again this year...if the rush doesnt get there then we will get exposed

[that1guy]

How in the world can the Steelers organization be incapable of building a decent Secondary? Honestly, is the coaching that bad?

[tube517]

Having nightmares with Fulgham. He tore up my Va Tech Hokies in 2018 playing for ODU.

Doing the same thing today

Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

[SteelMayhem72]

Plus, we havent really been playing good teams and its starting to show our deficiencies even against weak teams

[st33lersguy]

Why is it so difficult for this team to have a functional secondary AND a decent offense at the same time?

[86WARD]

What a joke.

[that1guy]

Cover someone, fu@%!!

[HollywoodSteel]

Last year we got to the QB without blitzing. So our secondary could do a much better job. I’m not sure what happened.

We didn’t lose players yet we became this team that has to live or die by the blitz. I just don’t get it.

[Edman]

Told you the lead wasn't safe. Not with this team and not with the amount of time remaining.

Steelers turn a big lead into a nailbiter. It's what they do.

[86WARD]

Fulgham is playing like something better than Jerry Rice and AB combined.

[SteelMayhem72]

big receiver we cant cover

[HollywoodSteel]

The fucking offense better not turtle. They better play like they NEED to score because they do.

[SteelMayhem72]

Told you the lead wasn't safe. Not with this team. I agree with ya

[86WARD]

The fucking offense better not turtle. They better play like they NEED to score because they do.

Anything less than a TD on the next drive will result in a loss.

[SteelMayhem72]

Our defense looks tired

- - - Updated - - -

can we hold them to a fg???? Wtf watt hurt

[Edman]

So the Eagles will complete a comeback, the Offense gets the ball back. Hopefully win on a Boswell FG and move on to next week with no adjustments and nothing needing to be changed.

It's the same old stuff for years and years.

[that1guy]

These guys flat out suck

[SteelMayhem72]

wide open!!!!!

[86WARD]

I don’t inderstand how the opposing teams have WRs wide open with multiple Steelers around them with no coverage.

[Edman]

Just like that.

17 point lead is evaporated.

Every. Single. Time.

[NCSteeler]

Instead if doubling the guy kicking your ass, just don't cover him at all that'll fool then

Doug Pederson is a Reid protege and knows a thing or two about Offense and how to attack teams.

Our Offensive Coordinator is our Quarterback.

It’s okay guys, Gamecast gives a 65% chance to win!

It obviously hasn’t been watching the game.

Our defense turned into the Cowboys. It’s disgusting. 29 points to the fucking Eagles.

Come on offense...stop wasting downs.

[SteelMayhem72]

need to be passing on 1st down

[Edman]

Maybe we should just drop Offense entirely and stop trying to score 30+ every game. The Defense just cannot keep up.

When the Offense is good, the Defense is trash and vice-versa. Never both.

No pressure on Wentz ... game over.

Eagles and Steelers fans should not be pleased with how this game turned out.
