Week 15:Philadelphia Eagles(11-2)

I did think the Ravens were winning it all last year. Chiefs looked so average heading into the playoffs. I won’t ever make that mistake again.

 

The chiefs were underdog in each of their last 3 playoffs game

 

Yea in Vegas. On the actual field The Chiefs are always the favorite. Always. It’s Brady 2.0

 

We have not fixed our LB's over pursuing and be gouged by the cutback. In our quest to get to the QB, Highsmith and Watt sometimes get too far up field and lose their edge containment.

 

Its about getting healthy and getting momentum at the right time. This year our health is going to dictate so much as we cannot afford any more injuries and we need Pickens back. Do we have any chance of getting anyone one back on the O-Line or is everyone that is out, out for the season?

 

We could get Troy F and R Wilson back I believe?

 

When people complain about losing to the Tebow-led Broncos, they usually forgot that the Steelers only had 4 completely healthy defensive starters out of the 11 they started the season with. With one safety out (Ryan) and the other nursing a calf injury (Troy), it is not surprising they were vulnerable to the deep throw.

 

The Eagles game is still very important. If the Steelers beat the Eagles but then lose to the Ravens and Chiefs, they still win the division with a win over the Bengals in the last game even if the Ravens win out. That's the beauty of having a 2 game lead with 4 to play and holding every tie breaker.

 

You might be thinking of the 2008 championship team that lost 15-6 in Philadelphia. The offense looked horrible in that game.

 

True. It also didn't help that Ike Taylor had one of the worst games of his entire career. He had a stinker or two every season and that one happened to be a playoff game.

 

They have better receivers and a better line. Barkley has been better than Henry this season, but Jackson is probably better than Hurts.

 

I don’t care if you started a practice squad it was Tim Tebow!!! Horrible

 

My biggest fear is that our LBs all think their TJ, and spend more time trying to punch out the ball, than trying to just wrap-up and make a good tackle.

I forgot what game it was, but the Steelers gave up a ton of yards after contact, because everyone was going after the ball and forgetting to simply tackle and stop the RBs. The good news is Elliot has really showed up in some of these games. A definite KEEPER for the Steelers team.

 

The way Philly is playing right now this is going to be a huge "Yardstick" game. I can easily see the Steelers going into Philly and losing by 20.

Steelers Have a Perilous History in Philadelphia
The Steelers have been out-scored 84-22 in their last three meetings in the City of Brotherly Love. The losses at Lincoln Financial Field in 2008, 2016 and 2022 were all bloodbaths.

Baltimore and Cinci, will both be AFC North games, I still have the Steelers beating the Chiefs, because it is a home game on Wednesday(Christmas)

 

I agree. They are simply due to beat us. it's like 8-1 since 2020.

 

Rumor has it he still is thinking about getting toasted and stiff armed for an 80 yard TD by the late Dermaryius Thomas in OT.

 

It did not help he was often on island against a great WR in this game.....Poor gameplan....

 

Saw a short bit with Najee regarding upcoming games and their remaining schedule. The man did not even know that they played Eagles first and then Baltimore before KC .. It kind of shows how us fans think about and obsese about upcoming games and opponents.

 

Our last game had a season high of 12 missed tackles.

 

yep,,,every week --this is the tell Tale game.<every week>and oh no-- if we lose to a bad team--WE suck fire Tomlin bring Canada back...

 

going for the ball is good.punching at it is great--- as long as the ball holder is in your grasp---but missing tackles and not trying hard is wrong.Tackle then get CUTESY-

 

I think we can beat the Eagles ----DO YOU

 

If the Steelers D try and get cute with Barkley he will run for 200 yards.

 

possibly he will--- but Steelers better be on him like flies on No goofing around with him better have help before trying anything with Barkley.
