This was a team loss. Vick (as always) struggled early but put it together at the end. The D line needs to get to the QB… that was a major reason for the loss. Big pen waited as our 4 DE’s ran around the back.. stepped up into the pocket and had plenty of time to make the reads. I will say this tho…. after defending Nnamdi of weeks… he did not have a great game.

Didnt really see the game as I was working yesterday. First of all I didn’t think the game would be that close but was surprised to see that it was within reach for the Eagles to win. Turnovers, fumbles (rolls eyes*) you just cant have those every week and expect to get far. But from what I am hearing the Offense at least put the team in a position to win it at the end and the Defense didn’t execute.

Damn was Big Ben even touched at any point during the game? Oh well should of could of would of. I do think the Eagles will beat Detriot and will do it in a convincing way. I think we are going to see them score more than 20 points this week.

Tjohnson5 thanks for the reminders. I very much believe in the glass half full theory. But it gets fustrating to watch this team making the same mistakes sometimes.

G, I missed you last night on wip. I only caught the end of your show on wip last night (

my friend, offense sells tickets DEFENSE WINS AT THE END OF THE DAY. the offense walked off the field with the lead. if kendricks make that tackle it holds the steelers to 3 . when the game is on the line ya gotta get stops. It’

games are still won at the line of scrimmage and the d-line will look good against weaker compitition. AGAINST THE GOOD TEAMS, COACHING STILL MATTERS. I question if the Def coaches are on the same pg. you have washburn coaching the d-line rush the passer – not playing the run (the run defense got absolutely gashed on that last drive ) the steelers run the football and thats what they did for most of the yardage & Juan on playing that soft zone on that last drive.

How is the blame for this on the defense? They hold a good team to 16 points and that is with the offense giving the Steelers good field position or leaving points on the board for the first three quarters. If the Eagles even get a field goal in the first half instead of fumbling the ball away in the end zone, a field goal doesn’t win it for the Steelers in the end and we’d all be thrilled with the defensive performance.

Thanks J Hart, this defense got no push up the middle with the DT’s there is a reason that Landri is nothing more than a journeyman, and Jenkins is a spot player/ situational pass rusher. I’ll give Thornton credit today as he drew some holding calls with his hustle. sure missed a heavyweight like Dixon today. and Im pressing to get Patterson back in action. Castillo has got to mix it up a bit as he dialed up very little blitzes today. the d -line is overated as once again , we got no sacks. AND SOMETIMES, TO CHANGE IT UP A LITTLE NOTHING WRONG WITH RUSHING 3 AND DROPPING 8 BACK IN COVERAGE. just to give big bn a different look.
once again at the end of the day the qb left the field with the lead and also after 5 games thay are where we were hoping they would be at 3-2

Maybe They Can

yea maybe they can win the game if andy uses his RB to run on the goaline instead of your Qb who cant hold onto the ball… why cant we score TD inside the 5 yardline… WE NEED CHEDDER PLAX to help out the redzone problems.. ANDY where is the shovel pass that you use to use everytime you were at the 3 back in the 5 nfc championship game seasons.. YOUR fumble prone QB is not a smart call to draw the ball to on the goal line…. FIRE ANDY AND GIVE ME CHUCKY…. I WANT SOME FIREY COACH THAT WILL STOP MY HEARTACHE

Dissapointed like everyone else and really tired of the turn overs however, the bottom line is that the offense scored enough points to win late in the 4th and it was up to the D to stop the Steelers and they didn’t. This loss is completely on Castillo and the D. Period.

We needed a closer and the defense did not come thru on the final drive, plain and simple

MR1CHALTON– Good stuff man! Spot on! Even about fraudman who waits a day or 2 to respond after a win but after a loss brings all this negativity and garbage and the sky is falling talk. He lives in boones north carolina and has to try and stay relevant somehow someway. Hes not a true fan of this team, he picks against them every single week. Hes a clown..

As for the game, yes the defense folded when they had to stand up, it was reppin time on that last drive and they folded. Id like to see the offense score more but it has been a defensive game. Let’s not overlook the fact that the eagles have faced 5 of the best defenses in football. So your going to be in a dog fight every week and its not gonna get any easier, next we have the lions then the 5-0 falcons after the bye.. But the next game is a huge game. Gotta beat the lions before our bye then we ll be 4-2 coming out of the bye against the falcons at our home. The lions game is at home as well so hopefully we have some good home cooking in store.. Im not at all angry about this loss though.. We should of won but im not ripping my hair out over it..
