No injuries. No injuries. No injuries.
No injuries and don’t suck.
Good evening fine Eagle’s compatriots, the past 2 times have been a little bit “oh this is terrible, don’t worry, it’s preseason”. Maybe we can switch it up with some preseason Euphoria, just let me get my hopes up way too high once this preseason and I’ll be happy!
Woooow announcers aren’t even at the game.
and the Steelers announcers know shit
right!? “Wow 2 TE sets, thats odd to see, Eagles don’t use 2 TE sets ever!”
They said we rarely used a TE
I like it. Let’s do more of this.
Seen enough Shady. Sit him.
Timmons just wrecked the shit out of that play lol.
Good play by the DB.
Barbre got bull rushed right into Foles almost.
Ok, not a terrible start offensively. Little rust looks like but not too bad.
guys, no flags!
I hate NFLN broadcasts. It sounds so sterile… Wheres the crowd noise? It’s ruining hte game..
Yeah I mean Baldi isn’t perfect but I’ll take him over this bland nonsense.
Which deity did I annoy to be inflicted with the Steelers announcers at an Eagles home game?
So far this pre season Steelers > Pat > Bears in terms of not knowing shit about the Eagles
God of NFL revenue.
Seriously. Every bloody section of the broadcast has a different sponsor, including the coinflip.
3rd down is still our nemesis.
Of course.
ouch.
Jenkins, that’s a running back, got wrap them up, throwing shoulders wont work
lead with his shoulder. Whatever.
put dresses on em
The fact that NFL Network is clueless about how to broadcast an NFL game is ironic
Geagle is probably lovin that haha
is there an online radio feed?
Hey! we got off the field!
Who had the pressure on that near int?
Bair is who the announcers called.
On the replay it was Bair ’93
bairly 30
Bair Knuckles
Bairzerker?
An opposing team punt!!! Superbowlzzzz!!!!
Gotta give the steelers people this, It seems like they really like the ‘Meco hit, and not because it gave them easy yards.
if any team is going to appreciate hard hitting defense, it’ll be Pittsburgh.
Azz sighting!
Can we not do that toss play again? Like ever?
DeMeco!!!!!!!!!!!
Also one shouldnt use the read option against the Steelers because of their LBs. Somebody forgot to tell Pryor that last year
SOMEONE GET CELEK A NEW HELMET!
Celek needs to review the operating instructions on the chin strap.
Love it though.
Barbre gave up the QB hit. Starting to worry about him.
i was just typing that. He’s not looked great.
He got beat earlier too. Worrisome.
Suck because Matthews was open
Maclin fails to make the tough grab, looks for a flag. Shocker.
He should have gotten the flag if they are going to be consistent about the way they call these games.. As soon as he went to make his move inside the corner put his hand on Maclin. That’s supposed to be illegal now
Geagle, you see Meco set the tone, thought of you when i saw it lol
Damn right….I wanted to post about it but couldn’t turn my comp on in time… My man!!!
Was actually knocked down by the DB, but based on earlier game, they could easily have called iilegal contact
You aren’t allowed to touch the WR after 5 yards…hell yeah it should have been a flag THIS YEAR
Incomplete, but great throw under pressure. Window the size of an iPhone.
That was a great route by Celek. Remember when he was stuck behind LJ Smith?
Tangential: The new white uni’s are 100x better than the new black uni’s.
That was text book execution of a screen. Holy crap, beautiful.
and Maclin holding up his block, great to see
Was that a cheap shot by Palomalu on Maclin?
I wondered that too, it is possible he was watching Shady and didn’t know Mac was there
Maybe payback for the DeMeco hit.
he is rather feisty at times… and a pussy at others..
It’s nice to see it have success to the right side because in the screen game and run game, OL getting to the next level is when you really notice the drop off in athleticism from Lane to Barbre, so I’m pleased seeing screen success to Barbres side
Barbre wasnt’ out in front though. That was the Toddfather and Kelce.
It did seem to be Kelce and Herremans who were out in front of Shady though. Kelce threw a nice block.
It was those two who were out in front, and Maclin holding up a good block….still nice seeing we can execute that way to the right side without big Bane johnson
same look as last play.
who kicked that ball?
Henery
don’t know if I should be throwing up the frowny face or….
Was that henery kicking off?
yes
“NFL announces the suspension of Alex Henery for PEDs following his kick off out of the back of the end zone.”
More like they spot test him for performance enhancing drugs.
LOL, subjected to immediate piss test
I LOLed
Nice to see a TD against a good defense in the Steelers, but Foles needs to be more accurate.
true, wasn’t sharp as you want to see him
Did he just say “LeGarrett Blunt?”
Nnamdi Asomugha with the tight coverage.
looked like shady was looking at his hand on the sideline
If you can’t have incidental contact after 5 yards then Maclin needs to get that flag
agreed
Notice how DL shoots gaps at times and don’t always two gap
Still have nightmares of Blount in the preseason lol
Blount is a bruiser for sure.
Ced Thorton looking good.
and Beau Allen jumping is a ++
Shady getting thumb xrays
serious?
Yeah. Spuds just reported it.
Well, at least no danger of a season ender. Even with a break could be back for opening day with a cast.
would be tough to hold the ball with a cast. Depends which arm i guess
Cox just looped behind Beau and forced Ben to get rid of the ball for the incomplete.. Media won’t give him respect for that since he didn’t get the sack, but that’s effective defense by Big Cox
can anybody find Cox?! I’m trying to find Cox!!!!
(Walk Hard)
Looking for a picture of Long walking next to Cox
Coverage has been more tight today, nice to see
One of our blockers almost F-d that one up big
He’s currently in a staring contest with Coach Fipp…and losing.
Satan is the only one who can win that contest and even he loses sometimes.
announcing is horrible
seems to be 3 separate broadcasts, all sound bad
I’ve got Kurt Warner and some guy. Very generic analysis.
Mac lookin fast
See how FOles trusts coop. Love their chemistry
Koop!!!
didn’t see many slants last year
I still like Josey better than Tucker. Tuck just looks plodding to me, a little too slow.
I was thinking the opposite. Liking tucker better
Pretty sure that playing a snap without your mouthguard in is a penalty, isn’t it? Foles left his stuck in his facemask that play.
Glad to see friar tuck back, but he has to get that first
Friar tuck!!!!!
Good hard running, Tuck.
FOles ate that blitz
Brent Celek is a tough motherf***er.
For the love of… will someone fit Celek with a helmet that doesn’t pop off every time he gets hit?
Celek getting destroyed this preseason.
time to sit him
He loves it
I think he needs to refit his helmet. For some reason he likes it loose.
Coop got turned around, was facing the wrong way otherwise probably a TD.
or if Foles had passed to Matthews
I only ever see the Eagles get called for Off. Interference, I swear.
That was a bad play by cooper. Both in the pushoff and in trying to grab the ball. That was catchable for normal procedure.
I didn’t see interference
hand fighting? Only saw it once. If it was interference, it was pretty soft, yes.
thing is, Foles put the ball where only Cooper can get it…shouldn’t have to fight.
Like that?
Sproles looks like a really fast 5th grader out there.
He reminds me of angry marlon Wayans in “lil man”… He is like a mini angry gangsta out there
Foles has to bend down to hand the ball off to him.
Foles looks shacky, yet he has a 102 passer rating
Looks pretty good to me. Missed that one corner route to Celek, otherwise pretty good.
Way better this drive than the first two
Let’s get the pope a TD
WOW. Coop you gotta catch that.
Has anyone seen Coop’s hands? Anyone?
I like that play
I’d like it better if they called the TD.
We could have challenged It. Chip don’t care
Yep. Why steal an extra rep from your own offense?
Right… We got a goaline rep with a pass play, and short yardage goal line run play rep against live defenses…get some nice work in
Coop is rusty
Challenge flag?
I thought Maclin was in.
ditto
nah
Why are people surprised at Cooper dropping balls?
Sproles at the goal line!
Bang it in with Tucker
Darren Sproles: Goal line back?
nifty run
He’s bouncy.
Sproles Line Back?
Sproles looked like a bee trying to get out of a closed window. He kept bouncing back and going again. Great balance.
Most attention Eagles fans have ever paid on a kickoff
who kicked off?
The Eagles did, aren’t you paying attention?
crap, Par….key?
Kendricks! nice play.
There we go. That is LB play.
Emmanuel Aecho
Doh!
And that was not.
Sucks. Silver lining, is like Malcolm trying to strip the WR instead of just tackling
Did we resign Chung since last week?
That’s the kind of leadership we brought Jenkins in for.
Agree with Baldi here. What’s the DB supposed to do? Step aside?
Yeah, its pretty much horse shit.
Yeah it’s dumb.
Give the DBs red capes and call it bullfighting.
They’re going to have to start playing with their hands up in the air.
So what? The DBs are supposed to retreat when the WR initiates contact? That’s BS.
Unless you are Cooper
Welcome Nolan
off of kendricks pressure it looked like
Kendricks with the nice blitz, Carroll cleans up with the nice pick. I like our D tonight.
What linemen pressured Big Ben into that INT?
… This is why I hate when media only talks about sacks… Worry about pressure
Was Kendricks on a blitz.
kendricks
Blitzing Kendricks
So, we just need receivers fast enough to run directly into the defenders and we can march down the field 5-yard illegal contact penalty by 5-yard illegal contact penalty?
That was a ridiculous call on Fletcher. Even by the standards of this preseason.
I would love to see what could have been if we had drafted Dri Archer.
We would probably be up by, like, two touchdowns before the half.
I’m sorry but Chip clearly sucks since he only scored twice in like 10 minutes.
Gentlemen, if I’m and OC or WR coach, I’m watching film diligently for how to draw flags and teaching it every day.
OH NO
Oh no no no…
Looks like a hyperextended knee maybe?
Looks like it. His leg seemed straight, I didn’t see any twisting…can you tear something without twisting your knee?
sadly yes, but it can just be a hyper extension too, very painful but not devestating
Same knee?
Looked like the right knee. Wasn’t it the left one last year?
Can’t recall. Anyone?
fu* f*ck f**k
Noooooooo
There goes Maclin!
hoo boy
Hurts to see McCoy there with his boy, also got some medical equipment on his thumb, man this…
PHEW!!!
Oh good. Just Kearsed it.
Thank you Jesus!
Am I the only one more worried about Huffs health than Maclins
Most likely you are. Huff has done squat in the league.
I think you are, yes.
Not counting his mama
lol just checking
Maclin walked off the field.
Yeah no worries… Mac knew right away when he tore ACL… He knows it’s not serious
LOL! Worst screen ever!
Eh, Sproles fell down…
Tripped over his own guy, they both fell down lol.
That was a good tackle by Kelce. Maybe he could be a modern day Bednarik?
Is that what a good safety looks like?
Its the hair.
The play was for #43, Foles threw it to #43.. just the wrong one.
THAT is what good safety play looks like.
yes sir!!!
I don’t know if I should be impressed with the defense or pity Pittsburgh fans.
Look at their trophy case. No pity for them.
Think Chung could do that
No. Chung would be tackling Cary Williams.
Chung would have blocked for the WR
Kendricks in beast mode!
Breaking: Alex Henerey traded to the Steelers at the start of the 2nd quarter…
Get maclin out please!!!!! !!!!!!
That was smart. Don’t let it get in his head.
Jenkins ain’t got hips? yeah ok!
Josey, please. I’ve seen enough of these other guys.
I’m really rooting for Josey to make the roster.
Over Tucker?
Yup. Tucker has size, but I think Josey is a similar runner. There’s also the whole feel good story with Josey.
And the fact that he’s probably just better than Tucker..
Corry yeah I love Josey’s story but seeing the power Tucker has is refreshing
DO IT!
Maehl and Tucker? Bring out Momah and Josey already.
It’s the Chipper and Fipper show
Don’t ever insult Dorenbos
Josey/Tucker will come down to blitz pickup. Expect Tucker to have a massive edge.
Shut the game clock down!! Don’t make me take my belt off!!!
That was pretty epic. Seems like our new boards have mystified the operators
Sun went down.
and no wind.
hah, nice
Beau Allen is shaping up to be one hell of a 7th round find.
Jason Kelce of the defense
Isn’t that a (potentially) awesome draft surprise?!
seeing a lot of cut back runs working against us tonight
Tommy wrote a good piece on our defensive philosophy a few weeks ago. It’s gonna look ugly between the 20’s at times. Lots of 4-5 yard plays will be given up. All predicated on turnovers.
I missed the discussion in the very beginning. Did we all shake our heads in superior disappointment that the Steelers didn’t bench the players busted for pot from a PRESEASON game?
ROC solid…here we go
If he missed it, Dri would have been gone. Good job Roc.
Xrays on Shady’s thumb is negative.
Well, that is positive.
BB SWAT
Bair knuckles again.
Eagles playing a lot of 2nd strings early again
They should probably use all second stringers by now
Would like to see Marsh against 1st team….hehe
Kendricks is all over. Awesome
Roc, dude, get away from that ball
What source are you using to view the game? I am watching the 4th play on offense on ch 6 when you posted this.
God I think i sawflames coming out his earholes
Watching Braman tower over Spoles is kinda funny
He caught him, literally.
Wait ’till they line up Momah and Sproles together.
Love all the motion so far. I don’t remember that too much from last season.
More Matthews please.
Casey?
no body signals first down like the Hoc but Brent Celek
I’ll admit to being your typical superstitios Eagles fan. Now, I cannot see the game tonightso I don’t know how it played out. However, when I saw Foles had an INT & given that he’s had a less t huh an stellar camp, i’m beginning to worry that Nick saved up all of his bad throws for 2014. I PRAY I’m wrong! Also, along the lines of paranoia, am I the onlyone who feels impending doom like there is a pi as no about to drop on Maclin?
Don’t worry. Sproles fell down on a screen and Polamalu made a good play.
Foles is doing fine. His INT was kind of his fault though.
How was it Foles’ fault that Sproles fell down?
Do you not know the feeling of being stared down by someone who’s like a foot taller than you?
Touche.
hes gotta look before throwing.
OK thanks man. My hope is that Foles is just one of those cats that has ho hum camps & that the regular season brings the beast out in him.SUCKS I can’t watch! I hate Vermont!!!
I think they replaced the piano in the blimp with a synthesizer this year.
We’re humming on O and D, far cry from games 1 and 2.
agree thogu steelers look terrible. but o and d seem way more cohesive.
kendricks channeling his inner luke kuechly tonight
yup. Fastest thing out of Cal since…. uhhhhh. He’s good.
Since Desean?
Who?
Steelers don’t have 100yds of offense yet and we’re at the 2 minute warning
Sproles needed to be 6 inches taller there lol.
Good decision, Nick.
catching radius 🙁
stared that one down a bit
who’s the kicker!?
Henery
I think Foles is mad at Cooper for something?
yeah some fire there, definite mis communicate, Foles stared that one down, was mos def an option route, they read it different
Can Foles get mad?
You can tell by when he says darn instead of shucks
He dropped a TD pass and then ran the wrong route? Foles got Cooper paid this year..he should be mad. Demand excellence like the great modern QBs like Brady and Manning.
I really enjoyed watching him talk to Cooper like that. That shows leadership and a command of the offense. Cooper has looked like he ate a bunch of popcorn and now his fingers are all buttery.
He did have a nice tough catch earlier, so really surprised he dropped that TD
Foles with more passing attempts this game than he averaged last year
Henery has looked terrific tonight……think he noticed the trade for the new kicker???
Blount! just like last preseason nightmares!
He can make some nice cuts for a big guy
Agreed, It’s like no one can even fathom it coming, I still clearly remember that damn keystone cop run.
2nd string D out there
B Grizzle.
Just can’t get rid of him yet, water in the desert man
I just hate the fact that he won’t see the snaps. Him and Curry man, in a 4-3 one game with Cox and Cole on the other side, woulda been beast.
I don’t need to see anymore of the starters tonight.
Agreed.
.
Really could not have asked for a better first half – minor injury scares aside.
Agreed.
I like the sack/fumble. I hate the way he tapped the OLineman and walked away without waiting for the whistle.
anyone else notice that part where they put coach Fipp on screen for a long time and HE DID NOT BLINK
his crazy eyes used to creep me out before. now i’m just straight up scared of the man.
Honestly he looks like someone who has entire meals of only caffeine pills. He’s just REALLY FUCKING ALERT!!!!
Missed that. We need a gif.
Funny how we just put 17 (should have been 21) on a good Steelers defense and yet I fell almost disappointed in the offense?
The wr’s dropped at least 3 balls early. Cooper has too much butter on his fingers. Plus McCoy only had like 6 touches?
yeah it crazy how much “scary good” is within our grasp
17 per half is scary good and yet it fells like we could do even more even faster
Lets buy SB tix
It is probably misplaced disappointment in the defense for almost letting them score that one time on a FG.
This has been a pretty thorough beat down.
yea 17 points in 1 half is very dam good and the around 250 yards, maybe it is just the lack of super big play we crew accustomed to
I think of it the other way. Little work with Cooper and Maclin. Lane Johnson not starting. Working in Sproles.
Once this offense really clicks, its going to be sooooo much fun to watch.
gotta admit, besides the shit stain on my couch that Mac caused, he’s lookin good for this offense
Send him the dry cleaning bill.
There’ Geagles baby!
Steelers need an O-line, this is awesome
VINNY CURRY!
The whole DL got good pressure on that play
Also nice of Vinny to sack Big Ben while getting swallowed by an OL
angry thoughts angry thoughts! another henery miss
