Steelers At Eagles

[Northern_Blitz]

So if the rats beat us next week who's in first?

I think we'll still be ahead on tie breakers? Didn't check for sure though.

["BuzzNuter"]

This team just overpowered us. We can't match up against a power team.

Man.. this game feels very "Matt Canada'esque"... with Tomlin getting outcoached.
Najee.. hold onto the damned pitch.
Hopefully this isnt where the wheels begin to fall off.. really tough test next week.

And why the heck is TJ still in the game down 2 TDs with 3 minutes left?

[Northern_Blitz]

I do remember posts early in the season saying "the reason we need another NFL-caliber WR is that we'll be ****ed if we get down 2 scores and GP is injured".

Hopefully GP's back next week. Rats can score.

That's your $21M free safety at work

I don't disagree with the assessment of his play.

But I think it's more fair to say something like $18MM safety.

That was his cap hit for this year when his contract was signed.

It's not the player's fault when they get restructured (like we did with 39 last year).

I think we took $10MM and distributed it over 3 years (maybe 4?).

The Harris fumble was the turning point in my mind. They had a chance until that happened. The defense had to get right back on the field.

Queen and Fitzpatrick are robbing this organization, neither can cover and about half the time they get a tackle a day late and a dollar short.

I am not as pessimistic as most of you are. Bad game here but there is a lot of football to be played yet.

Don't think he is even worth $16M the way he's played this season.

Totally agree.

[SteelCrazy]

Fitzpatrick was awesome until Tomlin put his stamp on him. Tomlin punted when we were showing no signs of stopping them on D.

Pitching the ball is worthless even when Harris catches it.

Warren should start at RB.

[Eich]

The fumble was a killer.

Not going for it on 4th down was giving up.

the offense still has way too many times where they look more JV than varsity.

I can’t stand Tom Brady. He makes my ears want to bleed.

Especially since it happened on the kind of play where Harris gets 2 yards at best.

I was very in favor of the contract when it happened.

But for whatever reason, he doesn't seem to be the player he was. Which is really hard to me to come to grips with.

[SteelCrazy]

The Steelers offense ran 11 plays in the second half.

The Eagles ran 47 plays on offense.

That awareness Tomlin has and why he ponded on fourth and seven they were on their 43
