    Philadelphia Eagles Pittsburgh Steelers H Franklin Field (Philadelphia, PA) L 20-14

    1965. That is surprising. 9 straight W at home and 3 and 6 here since.

    The last time something like this caught my eye was mid 90's. I was in a bar that got the
    Steeler Digest and on the back page it had a report on the upcoming game. It said the Steelers had never won in Chicago but they had only played a handful of games there. Nonetheless, I
    mentioned this to some fans and suggested they get extra prepared. They won. Neil O'Donnell played a really great game.

    After watching the Eagles on MNF this game concerns me, Wentz is playing like a veteran QB and their defense is playing good also.

    They played against two 0-2 teams browns and bears and won, hardly a killer schedule to make any power ranked 2-0 team shiver in fear.........

    I still think they're capable of beating the Steelers.

    Only if we give it to them, the eagles hasnt had to play catchup against a high scoring offense yet, I dont think wentz can matchup to ben, and thats the difference maker in this game, their defense isnt any tougher than the bengals and we shredded them so I have no worries about us being the better team in this game....

    I hope you're right, some fans are acting like this game is a gimme. I think that line is too high the Steelers are favored by 5.5

    That's kind of harsh.

    I only watched the first half of the PHI-CHI game, but the short-pass plays PHI was running reminded me of the offensive style NE employs when they're playing a team with a good pass rush. We've had fits defending that kind of offensive attack.

    Bottom line in that game, Cutler was downright awful, he stunk it up big time, and doug pedersen came from the chiefs and plays the chiefs basic west coast offense....

    I think Vegas adjusted the line to 3.5 yesterday after the Monday night game. They dropped 2 points from the Steelers/Eagles game and added those 2 points plus 1 to the spread on the Dallas/Chicago game. That gets the line more in shape but I still don't like betting that game and giving points. I'm going with the over/under. I just don't feel very comfortable about this game.

    As long as Haley/Roethlisberger don't go too conservative (turtle ball) with play-calling with 3 and outs trying to run Williams too much... Steelers should do well. Ben needs to get rid of the ball quick... with slants/screens to WRs, Williams out of backfield and short passes to TEs. RAC is key to winning this game.

    If the Steelers go up by 14+... let D tee off on rookie Wentz.

    The Eagles do a very good job of having 6 guys at the LOS and dropping all but 3 of them..They mix it up very well and close a lot of quick passing lanes . They do a nice job of not allowing WR'S free releases to the middle of the field or free runners into the next zones . I think we will need the WR screen game , use a lot of motion to make them declare and we will need some deep throws to help bust that zone up...

    Is that a real free release or the PWP variation? :hehehe:

    I'll let myself out.

    How do you figure the rams could have drafted wentz for nothing when they had the 15th pick in the 1st round, they would have had to trade a bundle of picks to the browns to get the 2 spot just like the eagles did?

    But the Rams had the #1 overall pick through a trade with Tennessee. Right?

    Yeah, so they could get Goff, they didnt trade up to get wentz, so either way they wouldnt get wentz for nothing..........

    My worry is we won`t be hungry enough after beating the Bungles. If we win it will be because we got the turnovers.

    Expecting a squeaker that will be difficult to get a win.

    If we win in style, I will be shocked and very impressed and we would be looking like the team of destiny.

    Steelers are 0-8 at Philadelphia, dating back to 1965.

    That has to stop NOW!

    These are the games you have to win to get home-field advantage or The first round bye , Don't have a go like last year where you lose two games to the rat birds and they won five all year we have to beat mediocre teams in order to get home-field or the first round bye.
