Game of the Day: Eagles and Steelers

Can the Steelers pull off 2 in a row against unbeaten teams?.

Worst games: Raiders and Panthers and Cards and Dolphins

Should be ugly ones.

T.O. will mock another dance.

[Lathum]

I think TO should Riverdance

[henry296]

Steelers task just got much more difficult... Duce is out.

I would nominate the Bills vs. Jets game as the worst. No one should be subjected to watching the Bills play.

How many points do you get for 5 yards and 3 TDs?

[fantastic flying froggies]

How many points do you get for 5 yards and 3 TDs?
The league where I have Bettis is a fairly heavy TD league. It's 6 points for a TD and only 1 point for 20 yds rushing, with no decimals.

So in your example, it would be 18. I would gladly settle for that... :cool:

[Suicane75]

I hope T.O. does the Jennifer Beals dance from Flashdance.

[mckerney]

Jerome Bettis will have a big game today.

[TLK]

what a catch by ROY....

[Passacaglia]

Simeon Rice on having Willie Roaf blocking him: "I don't forecast that being a problem for myself."

[mckerney]

Ben Roethlisberger = The Man, running for 16 yards to pick up the first on 3rd and long.

[mckerney]

3rd and long again, this time Ben throws for 18 yards while on the run. Forget ROTY, this guys going for MVP.

[mckerney]

14-0 Steelers, Owens will go psycho on his team, or just quit, by halftime.

[JeeberD]

And the Cowboys are doing all they can to lose their game against the Bungles...

[PSUColonel]

It looks more like the entire Eagles defense has quit- in the second quater nonetheless. Pathetic. I mean absolutely pathetic..

[stevew]

21-nil. Can the Eagles rebound?

[PSUColonel]

nope

[JeeberD]

Sweet...

And for the second week in a row I thought the Steelers would have a very good shot at winning their game, but I picked the undefeated team to win anyways... :(

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Get Drew in there. Now.

[mckerney]

21-nil. Can the Eagles rebound?

With Owens as a key guy on their offense, no.

[stevew]

3 td passes already for big ben. Hopefully he wont have to throw at all again today.

[mckerney]

2 actually, Ward's first was on a run.

[JAG]

I wonder if Owens will dance getting a TD when they're down 35-7.

[stevew]

2 actually, Ward's first was on a run.

Ah, thats what i get for being half asleep and thinking the game was on CBS. Didnt start watching til a minute ago.

[JeeberD]

God, the Cowboys offense looks terrible today...

[mckerney]

Owens going after McNabb on the sideline, it was only a matter of time.

[stevew]

Damn, Ben made a pretty bad throw.

[PSUColonel]

Just the play the birds need to get back into the game, but they MUST get a TD here.

[Suicane75]

Ya know, I understand i'm an Eagles fan so this may come off as homerism, but god damn man, the friggin announcers have no idea what Owens was saying to McNabb and to me it looked like Owens was trying to light a spark under McNabb and McNabb was just letting him talk. Collinsworth is acting like Owens was pulling down Donovans pants and analy raping him on the sideline.

[mckerney]

Possible, but history would indicate otherwise. If I'm watching a Timberwolves game this year and see Spreewell grabbing Flip Saunders, Spree could be just hugging Flip, but I'm not gonna bet on it.

[Desnudo]

Why does Seattle get subjected to these Raiders games? I'd rather watch curling.

[PSUColonel]

I can guess what the conversation was:

Owens: yo yo don man I need the rock man. that's why we're losin- y'all gots ta get me the rock yo.

McNabb:(thinking) Get this punk away from me.

[mckerney]

A great start to the half by Roethlisberger, but what the hell was Burress doing with that fumble?

[Suicane75]

Man, this has been a sucky day so far.

[PSUColonel]

he tried to one hand the ball

[stevew]

It would be nice if the Steelers had a better kicker. Freaking missed a 33 yarder.

[PSUColonel]

The wind at PNC is a problem. Remember Chris Brown?

[PSUColonel]

The wind at PNC is a problem. Remember Chris Brown?

excuse me...Heinz(cough cough) Field

[PSUColonel]

McNabb is having a tough time getting in sync. I think he needs to look at running a little more today

[PSUColonel]

Don't go to the well one too many times

[PSUColonel]

He did

[mckerney]

OMG, they hit Owens, where's the flag? :rolleyes:

McNabb still needs to learn the take the sack thing.

[Suicane75]

Eagles need to score some points pronto.

[Suicane75]

Gosh almighty, you could see they were gonna be drawn offsides from a mile away.

[mckerney]

Incomplete pass on 4th by Roethlisberger, but a great play getting Philly to jump offsides. Amazing that this is his 5th year playing QB at high school level or above.

[stevew]

I forgot how much i liked Chris Collinsworth. Well, at least when he is deriding the other squad.

[PSUColonel]

The reason why it hasn't been a good defensive day for Philly is because the offense is doing nothing right. I'd like to see the time of possession comparison.

[General Mike]

Buffalo is giving the Jets all they can handle.

[mckerney]

13:53 - 28:22

[PSUColonel]

Yup - pretty one sided

[mckerney]

Amazing, even Clinton Portis is a better passer than Mark Brunell.

[Cringer]

who is the Bill being taken off the field in an ambulance?

[Cringer]

dola- they finally said. Mike Williams, neck injury, but he was moving his hands

[stevew]

Barring a catastrophic collapse, are the Steelers the best team in football right now?

[mckerney]

Barring a catastrophic collapse, are the Steelers the best team in football right now?

With the combination of their defense and the way Roethlisberger is playing, yes.

[General Mike]

Barring a catastrophic collapse, are the Steelers the best team in football right now?

Yes

[Cringer]

Gees, 7 minutes left in the game and Aikman just said Philly NEEDS to take McNabb out of the game. I guess, he has been getting hammered today.

[fantastic flying froggies]

And to think the Giants could have had Big Ben and instead traded away the future for Eli...ah what might have been...

[stevew]

Hes gotten SACKED more than a few times today....not just sacked, but hit full force with a running start. Hence the capitalization on my part. Pulling McNabb is probably wise right now, as the Eagles arent gonna win, and he could likely get hurt, especially if he is trying to pass a lot.

[Desnudo]

Funny headline from Yahoo! "Philly forced to play catchup at Heinz"

[GrantDawg]

Barring a catastrophic collapse, are the Steelers the best team in football right now?
Hottest.

[Icy]

Two consecutive Miami 15 yards penalty and Arizona TD that puts them 17-12 over Miami. Shit and i was happy today....

[General Mike]

And to think the Giants could have had Big Ben and instead traded away the future for Eli...ah what might have been...

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[mckerney]

They should have, and that's not just in hindsight. I would have gone with Ben over either of the QBs that went ahead of him. No question that as of right now he should be an MVP candidate.

[GrantDawg]

They should have, and that's not just in hindsight. I would have gone with Ben over either of the QBs that went ahead of him. No question that as of right now he should be an MVP candidate.But his last name wasn't "Manning."

[Desnudo]

I rarely watch college football, but I remember somehow catching a Miami, OH game last year and being amazed at how good that guy was. I thought it was suprising that he didn't get taken #1 as well. Although Eli hasn't really played at all so it's a little early to judge.

[MIJB#19]

I had a suspension I should have started Ben Roethlisberger over Donovan McNabb this week for my fantasy team...

[JeeberD]

So you have to take a week off from you fantasy team? ;)

[Blackadar]

As a Steelers fan, all I can simply say is....WOW! Two weeks, two undefeated teams.

[mckerney]

Who would have thought the Arizona - Miami game would have an exciting ending? Miami gets a TD + 2 point conversion with under 2 minutes to go up 23-14, 40 second left the Cards now have it inside the 5.

[General Mike]

Way to suck at clock management Herm Edwards.

TD Cards!

[korme]

How bout dem Cowboys Jeebs!!!

[RendeR]

How bout dem Cowboys Jeebs!!!

Dude, took the words right outta my mouth.

I'm not looking forward to the rest of our games against the NFC Beast, but its damn nice to start that group with a bigtime win.

Dallas looked like shit today. Go Bengals!

[JeeberD]

Vinny suX0rs, d00d... :(

[MIJB#19]

So you have to take a week off from you fantasy team? ;)Well, I deserve it.

[Chubby]

Bills win, Dolphins lose, KC loses (eliminator) and the Giants lead 14-0... good week so far :D

[Desnudo]

If Troy Brown gets hurt, who's his backup CB? Looks like Asante Samuel might have seperated his shoulder.

No commercials for the first ten minutes of Q1, heavenly.

[General Mike]

Da Bears suck at football.

[PSUColonel]

The Seahawks look like absolute shit

[Celeval]

St. Louis - New England... gotta love it, don't see too many plays with the QB going in motion. :-D

[MikeVic]

Yay Steelers!

[fantastic flying froggies]

The Giants are melting down right now, courtesy of Kurt Warner... grr!:mad:

[Celeval]

Beautiful fake FG for the Pats over the Rams.

Troy Brown never left the field from the play before, and just lines up about two feet from the sideline - Rams didn't notice him, the snap went to Viniateiri, who tossed it to him for a touchdown.

Vin. is now 4-4 on FGs, as well as 1-1 for 4 yards and a TD. Fantasy stud this week.

[General Mike]

Giants are choking.

[miami_fan]

I was so disgusted by the self promoting and the lack of respect he showed when he flapped his arms after his TD................



Naaaaahhhhhh! I found that it one of the funniest thing I saw all day! :D

[General Mike]

die Kurt Warner. die Ron Dayne, die Ernie Accorsi.

[Desnudo]

The difference with Corey Dillon on the field is unbelievable.

[MikeVic]

The Ravens wearing all black looks sick.

[Crapshoot]

that was a nice play- ed reed = gold.

[GrantDawg]

Vin. is now 4-4 on FGs, as well as 1-1 for 4 yards and a TD. Fantasy stud this week.
That would be my opponent. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[MIJB#19]

So you have to take a week off from you fantasy team? ;)When your team loses to a team quarterbacked by Michael Vick on a bye week by 2 points, I think I've been penalized enough already... :redface:

[Blackadar]

The difference with Corey Dillon on the field is unbelievable.

He wouldn't have made a difference against the Steelers. :)

[Desnudo]

He wouldn't have made a difference against the Steelers. :)

Heinz ketchup sucks. And we may have to revisit your thoughts in January. Great Novembers don't get you to the Super Bowl. :p

[MikeVic]

What kind of ketchup do you eat then?? Hines?

[Desnudo]

I make my own in a backyard still.

[Radii]

This just in:

The Panthers aren't very good. :(

[rkmsuf]

You are all over it Mort.

[Radii]

I know. I should be on TV with these kinds of insights.
