Impressions from the Philadelphia Debacle

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

It's not like they lost to a Bill Walsh west coast, beat you with scheme football team, they were physically beaten by a better prepared, better conditioned, better physically football team.

They did get manhandled, but Philly's offense is a "beat you with scheme" offense.

It didn't look that way, the offense is different to be sure, but the Eagles won (by a large margin) every one-on-one battle.

The Steelers needed this @$$ whuppin'...

Hopefully, they won't play this $#!+fully for the rest of the year...

That's simply not true. Bad preseason (0-4) last year, 8-8 finish to regular season. Good preseason the prior year (3-1), 8-8 finish to regular season after losing 2 of first 3 games. Stop pretending preseason has anything to do with the regular year.

Just because they had a 3-1 record in preseason in 2012, it doesn't mean they played well. It's not the preseason record I'm concerned about, but rather the sloppiness and apparent lack of preparedness. Bad preseasons have carried over to bad starts the past two seasons.

This right here is telling. When Slappy is laying down the law, you know it just got real bad.

There you go...nailed it on the head. I'm ok with preseason losses. I'm not ok with playing bad ball.

Personally, I think it would have been a different story with some actual game planning...but, I was not prepared to see a Ben so out of sync with the rest of the offense...nor was I prepared to see the defense give up two long TD drives to start out the game...

I hope that last night's @$$ beating sticks with them and brings back that $#!++¥ taste they had in their mouths after 2012 and 2013...and that some players get £!$$€% off...

Slappy it was hard to watch.

For me, the worst was watching Sanchez drive two long TDs against our first team defense. No one can be comfortable with that. I think our O is the least of our worries.
