Steelers vs. Eagles game thread (Preseason Week 3)

That injury to Maclin looks U G L Y

They try the fake screen again on 2nd down, pressure in Foles face and INTERCEPTION by TROY!!! What a play!!! Great display of athleticism!!!!

Polamalu with an equalizing INT

Pressure coming hard on BR7, gets rid of it on time but AB got chucked to the ground. Incomplete. 2nd down is a screen to Bell who tries to cut back but is stopped. Gain of 3

I did not know that ABs dad played in the NFL. TD Eddie Brown

3rd and 7, Ben able to avoid the pressure with a nifty step move but isn't able to hit AB on the run (almost another interception). 3 and out after the INT by Troy.   

Suisham yanks the kick hard left. It's just ugly.

1st and 10, pass to Maclin. Looks fine on that play as it's a sizeable gain. 2nd and 1

And Suisham's contract extension impacts his leg.

2nd down is a swing pass, no gain. 3rd and 1- run up the middle, Worilds with the stop but was it soon enough?

Yes! The lapbar tackle causes a 4th and short. Eagles send out the punt squad.

On the punt- fair catch at the 14 by Dri. Damn, I want to see him get a chance.

Of course there was holding on the punt. Move it back to the 7.


I know it's only preseason but jeez oh man this is an ugly game.

I'm not sure what I'm watching tonight.

1st and 10, run by Blount to the left for 6 yards.

2nd and 4, same exact play, Blount does a nice job to cut it back and break a tackle. First down.

Blount with a solid run there.

Not only can Blount pack a punch, he can pack a bowl too   

3rd and 1 (correction) - Bell does a nice job to stutter step to allow the hole to open. Decent gain but more importantly a first down.

I think this is exactly what the team needs to do when they play a high power offense. Control the clock and let the defense rest.

Run by Blount- looked like it was supposed to go to the middle but Blount kicked it right for a nice gain. Doesn't matter, holding on the play.

I like the combination that Bell and Blount bring to the table.

Quick throw to Archer on 1st and 20. 10 yard gain.

2nd and 10- screen to Blount. Gain of 4.

3rd and 6- Ball tipped at the line by the defensive end and the ball falls harmlessly to the turf. Punt time. Yucky punt but a good roll.
