Game Disgustion Thread; Steelers vs. Eagles

[Chicoman]

Fox is showing me something, he's a pretty agile guy.

Yep he looks good. nice open field tackle a few plays ago.

[south dakota STEEL]

like Frasier's aggresiveness....


beer's good...

[tibor]

Eddie Drummond got hurt on that punt as the gunner. Tunch said he looks to maybe have hurt his groin.Jeremy Bloom, time to step up, all 5'6, 145 pounds of ya...

[Supersteeler]

That's Frazier. He usually is every year in th Pre Season. He and Arnold Harrison seem to always have good Pre Seasons, but are always on the verge.

[BermudaSteel]

Where's my INT, D????

[Chicoman]

HAHAHAHA Night Ranger is playing Heinz Field.

They could have had "THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD"

[Jmat]

Kind of a mood killer. sigh.

I just don't understand what the problem is with people and the sick things they do these days.

[Chicoman]

Can they please cut Nick Eason at Halftime?

[Supersteeler]

Can they please cut Nick Eason at Halftime?

Nope! Ha ha, Big Eas with the sack! Right on cue, good job.

[BermudaSteel]

Nice sack to end the half

[south dakota STEEL]

Can they please cut Nick Eason at Halftime?

I'll make a call....

[Chicoman]

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH I'm dying here!!! Sack by Eason....B00!!!

[CHam59]

beer's good...

Mmmm............beer :D

[SteelBreeze]

I'm watching on NFL Net here in Md. Do they switch back and forth between the Pgh and Philly feed? The game started on on the KDKA broadcast but kept going in and out of HD. They switched to the Philly broadcast and it's been solid since.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Okay whats your final game score prediction? I say Steelers 99, Iggles 10.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Who is the Jabroni changing my channel?

[LetMePlay]

Damn, we got some RBs.

[LetMePlay]

I'm in Philly and I'm not getting the game so I have been using stooge.

[CAH]

Okay whats your final game score prediction? I say Steelers 99, Iggles 10.

Boy are you way off. I predict 89 - 10.

[CAH]

I'm in Philly and I'm not getting the game so I have been using stooge.

Wouldn't the Eagles carry their home team?

[Vindrow]

I think our running game this year will be just fine along with our passing game.

[BermudaSteel]

I'm in Philly and I'm not getting the game so I have been using stooge.

That's funny...even Bermuda is broadcasting the game on NFL Network...

[USM]

Jets beat the Browns...huh...

[SteelBreeze]

I put on the WDVE feed on Sirius NFL for the 2nd Qtr (they are actually about 10 seconds ahead of the NFL net audio. I love me some Bill Hillgrove (in a non gay way, of course).

NTTAWWT

back to 10 secs behind. Damn

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Wouldn't the Eagles carry their home team?

Not every city/team is as loyal to broadcasting their home team as the Steelers are.

[Supersteeler]

Tomlin says Batch broke his collarbone. Shit.

[LetMePlay]

Its definitely not on here in Philly. No idea why. Its blacked out on NFL Network too.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

I am receiving some serious static on stooge. Anybody else?

[Jmat]

That's the special teams I know.

[kurtistb]

I'm in Philly and I'm not getting the game so I have been using stooge.

I'm about 20 minutes outside of Philly and I'm watching the game. Its on channel 6 for me

[kurtistb]

ABC affiliate I believe

[Chicoman]

nice special teams breakdown to kickoff the 3rd QTR.

[Supersteeler]

Who do we pick up on the waiver wire now....Pennington?

I don't think Dennis is ready for the # 2 spot.

[LetMePlay]

If Booker does not look his footing thats a 40yds.

[CHam59]

I put on the WDVE feed on Sirius NFL for the 2nd Qtr (they are actually about 10 seconds ahead of the NFL net audio. I love me some Bill Hillgrove (in a non gay way, of course).

NTTAWWT

Love me some Tunch & Hillgrove

[south dakota STEEL]

Tomlin says Batch broke his collarbone. Shit.


Shit is right!:mad:

so is fuck, cocksucker, dirty gina bitch cunt whore, and others....

[Jmat]

Tomlin says Batch broke his collarbone. Shit.

Charlie's done. I love the guy but he's injury prone as hell. Dixon as the #2?

[Pilz]

Heinz field stops the kickoff return

[Jmat]

Love me some Tunch & Hillgrove

Yeah that. Love listening to them. I miss the hell out of Myron.

[Jmat]

Who do we pick up on the waiver wire now....Pennington?

I don't think Dennis is ready for the # 2 spot.

Pennington? Now that's an interesting thought.

[DaSwitz]

Tomlin says Batch broke his collarbone. Shit.

I wonder if we'll be calling Pennington or Culpepper...

[USM]

Tomlin says Batch broke his collarbone. Shit.

Well that sucks

[Vindrow]

Tomlin says Batch broke his collarbone. Shit.


Damn, well Dixon just got promoted...hope he is ready.

[CAH]

Dixon and Potts are going to get a lot of practice now. Plan on seeing a lot of those two in preseason.

[SteelBreeze]

McFadden punching the ticket haaa

[Jmat]

Too bad Broadway Brett signed with the Jets.:cool: Kidding.

[DaSwitz]

I'd probably go after Culpepper--since he's got a similar style to Ben. I like my #1 & #2 QBs to be similiar--you don't want to have to drastically change the play calling for QBs.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Nothing exciting goin on here now. Yawn...

[VaSteelerFan]

This field is falling apart already. Every close up shot shows huge clumps of grass kicked up all over. Is their grounds crew brain dead?

[Jmat]

Dinner's done! Who's HOOOONGRY???

I'm HOOOOONGRY!

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Dinner's done! Who's HOOOONGRY???

I am so hungry I could eat the ass of a rhino right now. Whats on the table?

[DaSwitz]

I think many on this board forget what it looks like to play on real grass....

[Chicoman]

This field is falling apart already. Every close up shot shows huge clumps of grass kicked up all over. Is their grounds crew brain dead?


I was thinking the same thing when I was looking it over. I love how our opponents complain that Heinz is the worst field to play on...get in their heads early. Gonna be a good home field advantage for us this season.

[Jmat]

I am so hungry I could eat the ass of a rhino right now. Whats on the table?

Does rhino ass taste like chicken?

[Chicoman]

Cut That Fucker Essex Now!!! Fat Lazy Fuck!!!

[DaSwitz]

I still think Russell can be a player in this league...

[Supersteeler]

Cut That Fucker Essex Now!!! Fat Lazy Fuck!!!

LOL, they were just saying he's in the best shape on any Lineman by far since he plays almost every position and came to camp in fantastic shape..

[Jmat]

Dekker has hammer hands.

[Supersteeler]

Hills looked very, very bad there.

[SteelrzGirl]

I am so hungry I could eat the ass of a rhino right now. Whats on the table?

[Chicoman]

Jeez Tony Hills didn't even get a finger on Jerome McDougall on that play. I've seen enuff of that bum!

[DaSwitz]

Hills got toasted on the speed rush, but I like that he didn't give up on it...

[CAH]

I was thinking the same thing when I was looking it over. I love how our opponents complain that Heinz is the worst field to play on...get in their heads early. Gonna be a good home field advantage for us this season.
It does bother other teams. It'll be ready for them when the season gets under way. ;)

[SteelBreeze]

Ben better stay healthy.

[BigSteelThrill]

Jeez Tony Hills didn't even get a finger on Jerome McDougall on that play. I've seen enuff of that bum!

Thats horse crap.... McDougle punched/hit him square in the middle of the face mask and jarr'd his head. Thats was a blatant foul. Not hills fault, not much you can do.

[Chicoman]

LOL, they were just saying he's in the best shape on any Lineman by far since he plays almost every position and came to camp in fantastic shape..

Essex is just terrible man. The only reason he's on the roster is because we are so thin on the O-line. I hope he doesn't make the team and young guys like Darnell Stapleton step it up.

[Supersteeler]

Jeez Tony Hills didn't even get a finger on Jerome McDougall on that play. I've seen enuff of that bum!

He's a bust, cut him! I love your rational attitude. Never ceases to make me laugh.

On the very first series of his CAREER. BWAHAHAHAH!!!

[CHam59]

Cut That Fucker Essex Now!!! Fat Lazy Fuck!!!

Might I suggest some Prozac to counter the Vicodin? :D

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Does rhino ass taste like chicken?
No, it taste like 90 y/o gina.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/SteelrzGirl/Grill080808.jpg

You are such a tease. I might have to take you and lock you in my kitchen.

[CHam59]

SG - that be looking yummy - beats my mini corn dogs & tacos all to hell!

[SteelBreeze]

Everything tastes like chicken.

[Jmat]

No, it taste like 90 y/o gina.



You are such a tease. I might have to take you and lock you in my kitchen.

You've had 90 y/o gina?:eek:

[Supersteeler]

By the looks of that spread, SG can lock me in her kitchen any day!

[Jmat]

Everything tastes like chicken.

LOL. I guess you would say that!

[SteelrzGirl]

SG - that be looking yummy - beats my mini corn dogs & tacos all to hell!

I have to learn to do this grillin thing with out getting so buzzed.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Actually I made a kickin mango chipolte marinade and kicked a couple steaks out for the boys. I didn't eat because I didn't have time to run out to the store and grab any more steaks before the game.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

You've had 90 y/o gina?:eek:

Yes, haven't you?:confused::confused::confused:

[SteelrzGirl]

Im interested in that marinade.

[DaSwitz]

Any word more word on Drummond? Someone mentioned earlier that the radio said Drummond may have injured his groin...

[Chicoman]

Are they using Darnell Stapleton at RG & Hartwig at Center?

[Jmat]

Any word more word on Drummond? Someone mentioned earlier that the radio said Drummond may have injured his groin...
No, I haven't heard anything since Tunch said that.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Im interested in that marinade.

I am interseted in what you got servin up. Lets get together some weekend and have a cook-off. Hell I will cook one day then you can hook it up the next.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

This Eagles commentary sucks.

[SteelBreeze]

Nice catch coming back, damn

[SteelrzGirl]

Dixon's ankles bend like Barry Sanders. Like there's rubber bands in there.



disclaimer: I did not say he was Barry Sanders

[Jmat]

That was a nice catch, too bad we were holding.

[SanjuNana]

This Eagles commentary sucks.

It does, but at least it's in HD.

[SteelrzGirl]

I am interseted in what you got servin up. Lets get together some weekend and have a cook-off. Hell I will cook one day then you can hook it up the next.

lol I just put beer on everything

1/4 lb angus burgers marinated in beer and A1 New York Steak houst marinade. Topped with provolone.

Shrimp barbequed marinated with beer and sweet baby ray's bbq sauce, sauced and glazed on the grill.

Smoked keilbasa with red beans and rice.

[DaSwitz]

You can tell Dixon hasn't gotten a ton of reps in practice. The play calling is really basic.

I'm glad the special teams coverage unit actually stayed in their lanes that time (unlike the fumbled KO earlier--which reminded me of the Cribbs return last year.)

[Jmat]

Eddie Drummond just got a penalty so I guess his groin is ok.

[SteelBreeze]

Special teams play continue to haunt us...WTF?

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

[Supersteeler]

Coach T disagrees with the call, he went out on the field to argue with the ref, lol.

See, reversed! It's on the Eagles. They deserve an apology from you all.

[DaSwitz]

Glad they fixed that call. It's so clear from the replay it was an Iggles penalty.

[Jmat]

Coach T got the refs to call the Drummond penalty on the Iggles. My man Mike.

[Supersteeler]

I remember this Grant Mason kid making a ton of tackles last year in the pre season. A good nose for the ball.

[Vindrow]

Nice to see they fixed the call.

[Lunar7]

Damn woman, I'm in love.

She'll make you shave your scrotum.

[DaSwitz]

That was not a catch--he was bobbling as he slide out of bounds...

[CHam59]

Me too - give it up, please

[SteelrzGirl]

They're like Freddie Kruger.

[SteelBreeze]

She'll make you shave your scrotum.
What, you haven't already done that?

[Supersteeler]

Eagles cough it up , Steelers recover. McBean!

[Jmat]

She'll make you shave your scrotum.

Don't all guys shave their scrotum? Most women love it shaved, at least in my experience.

[DaSwitz]

Who recovered the fumble?

[Lunar7]

What, you haven't already done that?

I don't even know him.

[Supersteeler]

Who recovered the fumble?

McBean. Lol, Center snapped it while the QB wasn't looking, bounced right off his chest.

[Jmat]

C'mon Steelers. Lets do something now.

[SteelrzGirl]

That was a nice bumble, lol

[SteelrzGirl]

I know this wont be popular here, but I love Jason Witten.

[DaSwitz]

Nice pass to Sweed. Good catch.

My ears shut off during commercials :)

I know this wont be popular here, but I love Jason Witten.

You realize that that's a reason to throw you out of the Nation.

[Hallmarky]

Bye Bloom.

[SteelrzGirl]

My ears shut off during commercials :)

Ive always liked Novacek, Witten and Dallas Clark. Wanna see that for Heath.

[SteelrzGirl]

You realize that that's a reason to throw you out of the Nation.

Nah, I just wanna see the TE used here like that.

[Jmat]

Well we did something. 13-10

[DaSwitz]

Nah, I just wanna see the TE used here like that.

I would agree--but it looks as if we might be loaded at WR.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Im interested in that marinade.

Me too - give it up, please

The Chicks will love you if you put this on a Chick and Pineapple Kebob served over a bed of rice! More is better! Try some with your cottage cheese.

Ingredients:
I take a dash of sugar, vinegar, worcestershire sauce, molasses, a small dash of salt and garlic powder, a can of crushed pineapple with the juice, chipotle pepper, minced bell peppers, and 2-3 whole mango's. I mix it all together lightly in the blender and heat it over the stove top to a simmer and then pour it over my meat. It is good with shrimp and chicken as well.

[BigSteelThrill]

A defender comes free through our 2nd unit OLine... every effin time.

Fu ck me :mad:

[SteelrzGirl]

I would agree--but it looks as if we might be loaded at WR.

Which isnt exactly hurting my feelings. Just a longing over the years.

[Steel Dino]

Ive always liked Novacek, Witten and Dallas Clark. Wanna see that for Heath.

SteelrzGirl's partial to tight ends.......;)

Imagine that.....

[Jmat]

There's a lot of empty seats there already. I'd never leave early pre-season game or not. If I'm there, I'm staying until the end.

[Lunar7]

SteelrzGirl's partial to tight ends.......;)

Imagine that.....

She could be partial to long snappers.

[Jmat]

Nah, I just wanna see the TE used here like that.

You like a used tight end huh?

[DaSwitz]

Humpal was being held big time...

[SteelrzGirl]

SteelrzGirl's partial to tight ends.......;)

Imagine that.....

Actually Im a fan of the RB, shocker, I know. But I like that TE threat. Just not something we've done a lot here.

Unlike Steelreeling, I was delighted when we drafted Heath.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

I am ready for the regular season. I can't watch more than one half of preseason football without getting bored out of my mind.

[DaSwitz]

Bruce Davis is just getting pushed way outside... His first step isn't as quick as it was in college.

[Jmat]

Jeff Reed with a 50 yard FG!

[LetMePlay]

Davis needs time.

[Wig]

They've dooooomed Potts.

I saw his number and my stomach did a little toss.

[DaSwitz]

Jeff Reed with a 50 yard FG!
Aren't many of those kicked at Heinz Field. Last (and I think only) one was in a preseason game a couple of years ago. It was either the Eagles or Panthers I think...

[Hallmarky]

Will Madden 09 be changed to Brett in a Jets uniform?

[Jmat]

Paul Ernster is going to kick off.

[DaSwitz]

Ernster w/the KO...Nice!

[Steel Dino]

Aren't many of those kicked at Heinz Field. Last (and I think only) one was in a preseason game a couple of years ago. It was either the Eagles or Panthers I think...

It's August and the field is in great condition.......

[Supersteeler]

That baby was 7 yards deep.

[Jmat]

Will Madden 09 be changed to Brett in a Jets uniform?

I heard on the radio yesterday that EA Sports has a label you can download with Broadway Brett in Jets gear to cover the package with him in Packer gear.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Is anybody else etting screwed on scrooge tv? They haven't shown the game in over 10 mikes.

[Jmat]

We play the Bills Thursday night in Toronto? Is that correct?

[Lunar7]

Is anybody else etting screwed on scrooge tv? They haven't shown the game in over 10 mikes.

Yes.........

[Royd92040]

Is anybody else etting screwed on scrooge tv? They haven't shown the game in over 10 mikes.

Batch exits Eagles game with fractured collarbone
Steelers, Philadelphia tied, 10-10, heading into final quarter
Friday, August 08, 2008
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Steelers backup quarterback Charlie Batch left the play field with a fractured right collarbone in the second quarter if tonight's preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

That game was tied, 10-10 at the end of the third quarter at Heinz Field.

There was no immediate word on how long Batch would be out but it probably would be at least a month and likely more.

Unless the Steelers pick up another quarterback in the meantime rookie Dennis Dixon likely will serve as No. 2 with rookie Mike Potts No. 3.

Batch left the field with 5:59 left in the second quarter one play after he ran six yards on a broken play. He took the next snap and handed off to Gary Russell, then walked off the field with a team doctor.

Dixon replaced Batch in the lineup.

The Steelers took the opening kickoff tonight and drove 80 yards for a touchdown to take a 7-3 lead over Eagles at the end of the first quarter.

Santonio Holmes caught a quick third-down pass near the line of scrimmage from Ben Roethlisberger and ran 19 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown to stake the Steelers to a 7-0 lead.

The Eagles came right back on their first possession to score on David Akers' 28-yard field goal late in the quarter.

Philadelphia took the lead early in the second quarter on Donovan McNabb's third-down, three-yard pass to Jason Davis. The Eagles stayed with their first team offense while the Steelers deployed their second-team defense on that drive.

Jeff Reed tied it at 10-10 with a 20-yard field goal late in the second quarter.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

I switched over to Justin.tv. It's pretty choppy but better than nothing.

Got it. Thanks!

[StuartSteelerFan]

These Philly announcers are fucking terrible. So far they've sucked the dick of every Eagles player they've talked about. If you couldn't see the score, you'd think a different Eagles player was scoring a touchdown on every play.

[BuckeyeSteel]

I'm not watching the game, just reading it. 2 fair catches for Bloom. Is he trying to make the team?

[Supersteeler]

Anyone catch that practical joke Harrison just got Holmes with on camera? James was pretending to drink from a water bottle which he apparently unscrewed the cap and left it sitting on top. He walked up next to Santonio real nonchalantly and offered him a drink. Santonio tipped it up to take a swig and of course the top flew off and he dumped water all over his face and down his jersey. Harrison was jumping up and down laughing like a little kid. Ha ha.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Lets not give up a late score now. Sheesh.

[Hallmarky]

These Philly announcers are fucking terrible. So far they've sucked the dick of every Eagles player they've talked about. If you couldn't see the score, you'd think a different Eagles player was scoring a touchdown on every play.

They also said the NFC east was the toughest conference in the NFL. I would like to give that title to our division, but I think the AFC south is tougher than the NFC east.

[Hallmarky]

Bad play. That can cost us the game.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Whew, good throw Feeley.:rolleyes:

[VaSteelerFan]

Pretty good game. Their only score came with McNaab against our 2nd team.

[Avoid Lloyd1975]

Good game. Our scrubs on D gave us a late scare. I'm outta here.

[LetMePlay]

My prediction of Jeremy Bloom making the team is not looking good. Granted its tough to return a 30yd punt.

Thats better than 3 or 4 months.....but not good guys..:mad:

And that the worst team in NFC East would be a contender in any other division.

not only a contender but a co-favorite...Casserly is a fucking jackass

I'd probably go after Culpepper--since he's got a similar style to Ben. I like my #1 & #2 QBs to be similiar--you don't want to have to drastically change the play calling for QBs.
Good point. I hope we call him sometime today - Culpepper that is...
Will Madden 09 be changed to Brett in a Jets uniform?

Negative Ghostrider. I picked up my copy of the Madden 09 yesterday. Brett the Jet is in a Packer uni as advertised...

The game, on the other hand, is the best Madden ever!!! No advantages to the D or O this year and they've fixed all the crap from 08. Only problem is when you challenge a play the game disco's...but that will be fixable via a patch/update.

EA Promises Updated Favre for <cite>Madden '09</cite>

By Earnest Cavalli http://blog.wired.com/images/icon_email.gif (ecavalli@gmail.com)August 07, 2008 | 4:41:37 PMCategories: Console Games (http://blog.wired.com/games/console_games/index.html)


http://blog.wired.com/games/images/2008/08/07/madden09.jpg (http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/08/07/madden09.jpg) Reacting to Thursday's news that famed Packers QB Brett Favre would be returning to the NFL with the New York Jets next season, Electronic Arts has promised imminent updates to Madden '09, a game that features Favre in a Packers jersey on the cover.
EA plans to offer a downloadable cover insert depicting Favre in Jets regalia via the official Madden website. Completionist fans are urged to print off a copy and replace the retail art as they see fit.
In-game, Favre is a member of the All Time Greats Team by default, though an August 11 downloadable roster update for the title will shift Favre to the Big Apple.
Say what you will about EA's money-grubbing past, but I'm impressed with the reaction time they've shown in amending the innate flaws in Madden '09. Let's hope the gameplay shows the same level of fan-pleasing dedication.
