Pittsburgh Steelers at Philadelphia Eagles, Sep 21, 2008 4:15 PM EDT
Location - Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA
Time - 4:15 pm
Radio - 94 WYSP, 610 WIP, Sirius 123
TV - CBS3 (National Game)
For a Pittsburgh perspective check out Behind the Steel Curtain
Interesting stats
The Eagles have not played the Steelers in Philly since 1997. Andy Reid has a 6-2 record against the AFC North, while Steelers QB Ben Roethlesberger has a 13-2 career record against the NFC.
What to watch for
With one TD pass Donovan McNabb will pass Ron Jaworski on the Eagles all time TD passes list. With a hundred yards receiving today, Desean Jackson will become the first rookie in NFL history to start this career with 3 straight 100 yard games.
Bottom Line
The Eagles are at home. A loss here would drop them below the .500 mark. A loss here would make 2 losses to playoff teams and a win against one of the worst teams in football... See where I'm going? We need this one. The Eagles showed against Dallas on Monday night that they can play with the best teams in the league, they need to show against Pittsburgh today that they can beat the best teams in the league.
Prediction
When I saw this game on schedule before the season started, I'll admit that I was not very confident. In my head I had it chalked up as a loss. Maybe it's the explosive offensive start to the year, maybe it's all the pundits saying the Eagles are one of the better teams in the league.... but I actually feel very confident that the Eagles will bounce back with a win here. Let's hope the Birds reward that confidence.
Eagles 27 Steelers 17

Real nice game from Baskett so far 6 for 66
by JasonB on Sep 21, 2008 6:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Problem is that McNabb has been tentative in the pocket today. He’s doing that thing where he’s afraid to throw to any of his receivers before they are wide open. Maybe it is the Steelers defense, but I am not encouraged by the lack of a deeper passing game.
by FuquaManuel on Sep 21, 2008 6:46 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I wonder if the injury has something to do with it?
by JasonB on Sep 21, 2008 6:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he did it in the last drive against the Cowboys too…not sure if that is enough to draw any conclusions, but he has looked a lot like the McNabb of 2007 these last 2 games. Not all his fault, the receivers are partly to blame also.
by FuquaManuel on Sep 21, 2008 6:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
agreed. he’s regressing. but this drive is promising.
by Luxury_Used_Vehicles_By_Braman on Sep 21, 2008 6:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Letting guys come unblocked at him certainly won’t help.

Of course the 2 points mean nothing score-wise. Especially if the offense doesn’t put points on the board.

I usually get real never in these tight Eagles games ...
… but I have a good feeling about this one.
IF they manage to hang on, it’s nice to know they can hang in there in a slugfest, with Westbrook hurt.
The D definitely looks more stout vs. the run than they did last week.
by D3Keith on Sep 21, 2008 7:00 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

It’s difficult to assess this team…
One week it’s the defense, the next it’s the offense.
by FuquaManuel on Sep 21, 2008 7:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
agreed, but you can look at that both ways, that both units are good enough to be dominant against a good team, they just hav eto put it together at the same time.
Honestly, seems like Eagles committed to a field-position punt-a-thon a while ago.

two more missed opps on that play.
They do have Ben on the run though. Just hope he doesn’t hit a lucky one.

I hate this
whenever we have a lead in the last 5 minutes our play calling goes all pussy. Keep the pressure on a TD only helps, this is ridiculous
by Whodie126 on Sep 21, 2008 7:10 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
the flipside is if they try to get fancy and throw a pick, you’d be calling him an idiot for not being a pussy and protecting the lead.
conservative, ugly wins are OK once in a while :)

3 Runs and a FG

by D3Keith on Sep 21, 2008 7:10 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, I prefer aggressive too, but there’s aggressive and there’s unnecessary risk/stupidty, and the 9-point lead, with Ben out and the defense playing the way it is, is smart.

I really like Asante so far.

I could see a score and onside kick coming. I don’t like that scenario.
