Oh D'Anthony Batiste getting burned. Shocked...

#5 WR spot is wide open with Burress down. Woods trying to capitalize. Kick return aside, he has.

Batiste makes me want to throw up.

Okay. It was just the first pre-game. It is all okay.

The offense needs some work, a lot of back-up defenders showed promise, the special teams picked up right where they left off last year.

Forget me bringing up Gilreath in the Burress thread. I think he is at the bottom after tonights game.

Yup. Not looking good.

[st33lersguy]

The back-up o-line needs serious work. I was however impressed with the run blocking of the starting O-line. With run-blocking like that Le'Veon Bell should do fine. LaRod Stephens Howling was also impressive, he deserves some carries. However with his 5'7 180 lb frame, that won't hold up for an entire year, putting him for a series or two a game seems ideal.

Gilreath: It's...your future...I see a...a car wash!

[fansince'76]

Wheaton has been good. Stephens-Howling looked good and the #1 O-Line looked okay. You know...for a first preseason game...

On second thought, I thought the first team D did a good job of sacking up and only allowing 3 after the first ST gaffe (among many) of the evening. That would have almost been a sure TD for the Giants last year.

Well the lack of depth on the O line showed tonight. LASH looked damn good and cant wait to see more of him. Was anyone else surprised with the number of carries Dwyer got? Jd Woods and Al Woods made splash plays and what about Ta Amu?? He looked very impressive. One other item I wanna see Wilson before Jones next week. I think he could be our best bet at third qb.

[Chidi29]

Only 219 replies tonight. Well over 600 for last years' first game.

Side note. We were all praising Woods great play in last year's game, too.

Steelpride12 has been MIA for a while now. He was usually good for 150+ posts alone in every gameday thread.

I have also seriously curtailed my gameday thread posting from seasons past. For example, including this post, I have 10 posts in this thread. I had 42 in the first preseason gameday thread last year.

[Chidi29]

Well you gotta change that for next week!

[Chidi29]

Ya I couldn't even watch it, it was givining me a headache.

Will say that tonight watching the game was much better. Getting near HD the whole time and frames were smooth. But I doubt as many people were on since we were the only game...

[Nadroj 20]

I probably replied more in tonights thread because it was a preseason game. Actually meant to be here more but got side tracked with something else.

Once the regular season starts I see myself here before, at halftime, and after, but during games I'm too focused on the game most of the time anyway.

[ALLD]

I don't have the NFL Network and didn't feel like going out to watch the game, otherwise I would be wisecracking it up.

From what I have been reading, the best way to improve STs would be to find a kicker who can make touchbacks every time.

[Chidi29]

Hey your quality sucks on the preseason pass too? I tried to adjust the resolution slider but it seems to only be available at one resolution.

I might have figured something out. Or I'm stupid and the last one to realize this.

But if you click the slider and uncheck "Best Available" you can move it around to whatever you like. And it stayed in high quality the rest of the game.

oh well apparently that would make me the last one to know about this, I will give it a shot.

[Chidi29]

Yeah, it's working pretty well for me right now. Sometimes the feed does get choppy and I have to bump it down but much, much better than it is was before.
