[CarMike]

Lets hope we can at least find the endzone this week. Maybe a FG? No?

[fent]

what time is kickoff??

[Biggie]

what time is kickoff??
7:30

[shally]

no injuries.. seeing the offensive line hold up.. some intensity on defense and special teams..




and oh yeah, either Colt or Chase throwing for 3 td's..lol

haha i wouldn't mind seeing Jason throw a td. I would like to see zorn call a decent game. It's only preseason and everything is vanilla but i need to see something more. It's boring and predictable. They were totally out coached by the Ravens last week.

we will be totally outcoached this week, if tomlin and lebeau make any effort..i dont think they will show anything.. so this will be all about tackling and other fundamentals, so it will be a very GOOD test for our team's backups

[shally]

and if our first teams staggers around like it did last week, i think it will bode very poorly for the upcoming season....

[shally]

WaPo reporting flash flood watch for DC

is this expected to continue until game time ?? does the weather service expect the game to be affected ?

[jaylen]

wanna see the young wr's step up , interested in seeing Haynesworth and Orakpo rush off the same side of the line. starting offense move the ball some.

Health of course.

[InsomniaKiller]

I want to see a few more catches from Malcolm Kelly. Hopefully the 1st-string offense will get us a scoring drive or two, just to kill the negativity for crying out loud.

If they're going go get anywhere this season, they are going to have to do something at some point.

[shally]

Ben inactive

[InsomniaKiller]

Comcast says Malcom's starting at 2nd receiver tonight. That's awesome. This may have been previously announced or whatever but it's the first I've heard of it. I hope he keeps looking good out there.

[shally]

great interview with Mike Tomlin

i didnt quite hear him saying to stay medium...lol

[csquared]

If they're going go get anywhere this season, they are going to have to do something at some point.

No kidding....

[shally]

just stay healthy...MK

[shally]

wet wet wet...

sloppy game ??

[shally]

Zorn needs a better haircut.. is his wife cutting his hair ??

theisman talking about our D line being 10 deep

[csquared]

wet wet wet...

sloppy game ??

Yea Shally i feel like i have been living in Seattle for the last few days. Its been raining like hell here.

[shally]

Yea Shally i feel like i have been living in Seattle for the last few days. Its been raining like hell here.

dry as a bone in the NW this past month..lol

hopefully not a lot of pulls or hammy's because of the slippery area

[shally]

mason back to receive the KO

[shally]

Rock through the fog to the 35 yard line

[shally]

3rd and 10



inc

another 3 and out..

[Carmelo]

listening on the radio... man I wish I could see what's going on.

[shally]

fake punt

Rock runs for it..

[shally]

solid blocking on the right side on that fake punt

portis for 2 yards on first down

[BIGREDSKINSFAN1963]

looks like the fog bowl up there boys.first fake punt i have seen by the skins in 10 years!:giantsuk:

[jtovb2005]

A little late but kelly was open on the first play. underthrown.

[Carmelo]

solid blocking on the right side on that fake punt

portis for 2 yards on first down
sounded nice with the punter pretending like it went over his head. I say it's okay to practice the fake punt but keep the little special tricks (pretending it went overhead) for game time.

[jtovb2005]

yea an illegal formation!! When are those bone head penalties going to stop?

[shally]

3rd and 6

complete to ARE for a first down

samuels with penalty repeat 3rd down.. illegal formation

3rd and 11

cooley for 11 and first down.. first completion by JC

[InsomniaKiller]

Holy crap, Portis. What a block. Good job reading the block and saving his qb!

[jtovb2005]

great block on the blitz by Portis. JC still can't slide at all. God it is scarry looking.

[shally]

portis for 2 on first down

second down: great picup by CP on blitz..JC runs for 5

third down: betts on draw to the 23 first down..

[shally]

portis for 11 on first down

good run

[jtovb2005]

wow big run from portis 11 yards. Not looking bad here? At the 10. lets see 7.

[tbfoster1]

portis looks alot quicker and better balanced. He lost some weight this year right?

[InsomniaKiller]

GREAT opening drive so far! Let's punch it in!

[tuckahoeskin]

I'm glad we're moving the ball fairly well. Still, it's hard to judge though. It would be interesting to see LeBeux adjust over the course of the game (with his starters). Could Zorn handle it? I hope so.

[jtovb2005]

Betts on 3rd down for no TD.

[shally]

sweep to the right.. portis to the 3

betts to the 1 running left

3rd and 1: betts stopped cold running left.. sellers did nothing

4th and 1 from the 1.. redskin time out

[InsomniaKiller]

4th & 1ish on about the 2 yard line. GO FOR IT. This is what preseason is for. And PUT PORTIS IN for it.

[Dolla Bill]

Why is Portis not in, when its 3rd and 1? Seriously. Betts does not have the power/speed, that Portis has.

[InsomniaKiller]

No....Don't kick it. *sigh*

[shally]

good for preseason.. we would kick FG in regular season

let's see what we do from the 2.. i think we could possibly get a first down at the one

pfffftt... FG try from the 16.. 3-0

waste of an opportunity to try a short yardage play.. still, finally some points

[Dolla Bill]

You have the defense realing. All you needed was 2 yards, and i'm sure you could of gotten it, if not the TD.

[Dolla Bill]

But at least they scored. I really can't complain.

[shally]

Why is Portis not in, when its 3rd and 1? Seriously. Betts does not have the power/speed, that Portis has.

we need to see how poor a short yardage runner betts is.. he has no power and no wiggle.. a waste

steelers at their 30 ..

[jtovb2005]

this Betts on 3rd down stuff should not be happening at the goal line?

[redcayman]

Solid drive. Good blocking from the Oline and portis.

[Fathead]

Fire Betts.

[InsomniaKiller]

Guys. Clinton Portis is really, really good. Glad he came out tonight to remind us of that.

[Dolla Bill]

we need to see how poor a short yardage runner betts is.. he has no power and no wiggle.. a waste

steelers at their 30 ..

All the more reason to put in Portis in short yard situations. Think Tomlinson gets pulled in those situations in SD? Not a chance.

[shally]

You have the defense realing. All you needed was 2 yards, and i'm sure you could of gotten it, if not the TD.

sure conversion for the redskins ???? not inthe last 15 years..lol

[tuckahoeskin]

Gee, I wish the D-Line could get some pressure.... :)

[shally]

carter with a bat down + holding on the steelers

[jtovb2005]

Boy the D line is playing!

[shally]

Gee, I wish the D-Line could get some pressure.... :)

you ask for it, and you got it.. great pressure

[redcayman]

The D is NIIIIIICe!

[InsomniaKiller]

I don't care how hard you look, you cannot find a single thing to complain about regarding our defense on that possession. Wow.

Oh, never mind, they called an absurd penalty.

[shally]

Hall with a pop.. great intensity

hall with a late hit personal foul.. poor poor call.. he tried to avoid it

[jtovb2005]

crap.

[Dolla Bill]

That's a BS call.

[InsomniaKiller]

Hall was CLEARLY not trying to hit the receiver. That's a joke, absolutely.

[shally]

decent run defense

2nd and 7

illegal movement on pitts

2nd and 12

[shally]

draw goes no where

3rd and 8

another immaculate reception ????

[InsomniaKiller]

Ball clearly hit the ground, Pitt almost had a miracle play.

[tuckahoeskin]

Talk to us if you have Tevo. Did it touch?

[Dolla Bill]

If that was an actual catch, then we all know that God is a Steelers fan.

[jtovb2005]

Ball clearly hit the ground, Pitt almost had a miracle play.

it was a quick replay. Might have been a helmet?

[Fathead]

What in the world is going on? This D looks good but weirdness keeps happening.

[jtovb2005]

on the ground no question.

[InsomniaKiller]

No, it was clearly incomplete guys. I promise. Hit the ground, clearly, and it's coming back.

[shally]

hit ground

steelers to punt..

[Dolla Bill]

Starting D is looking pretty good. I am liking the pressure from the DL

[Dolla Bill]

Now lets see the O continue what they had last series.

[tuckahoeskin]

That was not a block in the back! He hit the guy in the side. The dirty filthy rotten stiller turned his head because he's afraid of contact. That's why the dumbass, no account Giants and Cowboys lovin' ref made yet another horrible call.

Somebody make me a smiley that says REFS SUCK please.

[shally]

head's up play by rogers on the freak play.. he never quit on it and made the tackle.. even though it didnt count, it showed smarts and hustle

[colkurtz]

JC had a long pass - but still couldn't make it happen. At least they're throwing it.

[shally]

JC misses on a deep throw

betts for 1 on second

another third down and long coming from the 10

[Dolla Bill]

Whatever happened to the pattern called the In route? I mean, seriously guys. a 10 or 15 yard In would be great.

[colkurtz]

JC couldn't find anyone open. JC grounded it. I think Campbell needs to keep playing at least a couple more sets.

[shally]

3 and out.. not a good series at all

almost a call for int grounding.. the refs are idiots tonight

punt with the steelers on the 50

[jtovb2005]

that was patetic and leaves the Steelers in good shape.

Why did the ref explain there was no call because there was a rcvr in the vicinity. JC was out of the pocket, he can ground in that case?

[colkurtz]

JC is going to have to make the long passes if he's going to be the franchise QB.

7 yd run.

[shally]

hall took a poor angle and gave parker 7 on a sweep

[shally]

tremendous pressure.. call int grounding.. the ref's are unreal bad..

[colkurtz]

Great pass rush on the edges and up the middle. A real pass rush!!! Make a tear come to my eye.

[colkurtz]

Blitz doesn't work and the Steelers and wide open WR.

[shally]

poor coverage in the secondary

blitz doesnt get there

first down on the redskins 30

[Dolla Bill]

Blitz doesn't work and the Steelers and wide open WR.

Yep. Steelers had max protect.

[colkurtz]

Rogers didn't have good coverage on that play - incomplete. He was lucky.

[tbfoster1]

theres that $#!t eating grin from ward...I hate that

[shally]

another good play by the steeler O line completion to ward

miller catch to the 2

all of a sudden the skins cant cover anyone

[jtovb2005]

tremendous pressure.. call int grounding.. the ref's are unreal bad..

why was that not grounding? No where near a reciever. Thrown to avoid the sack? Seems the very reason for the rule?

[Dolla Bill]

Greg Blache....you suck.

[colkurtz]

AH is sucking up two blockers. Open WR = 24 yd play. Landry was late.

Heath Miller for 10 yds. We could have had that guy!

[InsomniaKiller]

Pass defense is strugglin', and we look better when we don't blitz.

[shally]

why was that not grounding? No where near a reciever. Thrown to avoid the sack? Seems the very reason for the rule?

griffin had his helmet in batch's chest..no way to get anything on it

parker with easy TD.. no one on the edge.. way too easy

[Dolla Bill]

Blache got taken to school by the Steelers offensive coordinator. Spread the D, and they can't do squat.

[colkurtz]

Wow. Lots of passes to open WR and they score a TD.

DB are sucking wind on that drive.

Does anyone think we'll keep Rogers next year?

[shally]

Hall is definitely a boom/bust player

[Dolla Bill]

What makes this worse, is that we were playing against a backup QB. Good going guys.

[redcayman]

Is it me or is Haynesworth a mean looking SO%

[shally]

Pass defense is strugglin', and we look better when we don't blitz.

that is why Blache hates the blitz..lol

[InsomniaKiller]

What makes this worse, is that we were playing against a backup QB. Good going guys.

They needed their backup to beat us last year. Ben looked terrible against us.

[Dolla Bill]

Cartwright should not see the field as a RB. At all.

[colkurtz]

KO - out of bounds. Get it to the 20.

Let's see who's going to QB? JC is in. Rock for the run.

Our offense needs to get something here.

[InsomniaKiller]

Nice seeing ARE lining up in the slot!

[colkurtz]

Rock for a 4 yd run.

Third and 3.

[Fathead]

Ugh. Put someone other than Rock in!

[shally]

rock for 3
rock for 3

third down coming.. the offense still looks inefficient, but the O line is holding so far..

end of first quarter 7-3 pitts..

[colkurtz]

that is why Blache hates the blitz..lol

We couldn't blitz at all last season and things don't look any better this season. With this DL - why do it?

[jtovb2005]

griffin had his helmet in batch's chest..no way to get anything on it

parker with easy TD.. no one on the edge.. way too easy

Yea he threw it to avoid the sack? That's wha tthe rule is for?

[Dolla Bill]

We couldn't blitz at all last season and things don't look any better this season. With this DL - why do it?

Because Blache sucks. He will blitz when we don't have to, and won't when we need to.

[jtovb2005]

I don't know about you guys but JC does not look smooth? Not really pressured?

[Dolla Bill]

Campbell is not looking good tonight.

[shally]

We couldn't blitz at all last season and things don't look any better this season. With this DL - why do it?

campbell 1/7 for 6 yards

betts done for the night with back spasms..

punt return for 22 yards, holding on return

[Fathead]

Can Betts be done forever?

[colkurtz]

JC - 1-6 10 yds in first Qtr.

Betts is out. Dropped pass by Davis.

Steelers on a very good return - 20 yd return.

ST look weak for us. I thought we should dump Smith as the ST coach. Zorn is too nice for last year's ST. When was the last time our ST were good?

[shally]

Campbell is not looking good tonight.

not exactly news here.. he has had time.. he is off in his throws. not badly, but enough so they are not being completed...

hopefully we see collins/cult with most of the o line still in..

[shally]

nearly a sack by Orakpo.. went too high

[colkurtz]

Steelers QB backup looks better than JC.

Orakpo misses sack. He should have had that.

[wewantdallas]

Campbell is not looking good tonight.

Tonight, yesterday, this morning, last week... Campbell stinks. Just look at how he walks off the field after another pitiful three and out ... his eyes big as saucers, his mouth hanging half open, just kind of ambling off the field like a zombie. How can anyone consider this guy a leader?

I like the guy as a person, but man, I wish one of our offseason efforts to get a new QB had been successful.

This team is just absolutely PAINFUL to watch, week in and week out. I must be a sadist.

[shally]

thomas/blades in

smoot beaten for a completion to the 32

batch looks very good

[jtovb2005]

Batch is making it seem easy to actually complete a pass.

[colkurtz]

@nd and 20. ANOTHER good pass to an open WR. Beats Smoot.

[shally]

tryon beaten but receiver drops it

sweed

eloi for nothing on return

[colkurtz]

Tyron beat but WR drops ball.

Punt and 53 yd punt. AGAIN not much on ST. Penalty against ST.

[jtovb2005]

tryon beaten but receiver drops it

sweed

eloi for nothing on return

and another penalty on the kick.

[shally]

bone headed play by someone on the skins.. stupid personal foul

back to the 10 to start our next drive

[Fathead]

Do we ever have field position?

[jtovb2005]

bone headed play by someone on the skins.. stupid personal foul

back to the 10 to start our next drive

with JC not hitting anything this is a bad place to be.

[colkurtz]

This ST better get better or it will drag this team down.

I bet JC stays in for another round. He's NOT looking good. The wolves will howl unless he improves.

[colkurtz]

Collins is in. Run for nothing.

[jtovb2005]

Collins is in.

[shally]

collins in

nothing on first down

[jtovb2005]

was that mason? the TV is letting Moss bable. Come on how about some play by play.

[Dolla Bill]

Tonight, yesterday, this morning, last week... Campbell stinks. Just look at how he walks off the field after another pitiful three and out ... his eyes big as saucers, his mouth hanging half open, just kind of ambling off the field like a zombie. How can anyone consider this guy a leader?

I like the guy as a person, but man, I wish one of our offseason efforts to get a new QB had been successful.

This team is just absolutely PAINFUL to watch, week in and week out. I must be a sadist.

I agree. Its the same story, different day.

[shally]

who is 24 ? he has some edge speed ?

and a nice catch and run by ? Mitchell

[colkurtz]

Good run on the small screen! 1st and 10 on the 20.

Good drive but we can't see it due to interview with Santana Moss.

[InsomniaKiller]

Mitchell and Thomas both with good plays this drive.

[shally]

nice catch by thomas


3rd and 2

[Redskin4Life]

Guys, Batch has been in the same offense for more years than Campbell has been in this one... you'd have to expect to see Batch doing better than Campbell. But it's not good that Collins looks better than JC.

[shally]

sellers is hurt.. in a lot of pain

[colkurtz]

2nd and 3.

Could Collins beat out JC if he has a great PS?

Mike Sellers is HURT!

[InsomniaKiller]

Mike Sellers is hurt. Ugh.

[Dolla Bill]

Sellers is a good blocking FB, but his receiving/running skills are....uh...questionable.

[tbfoster1]

Mike Sellers is hurt. Ugh.

not good.

[shally]

24 is mason

keep feeding him the ball .. he looks quick to the edge

[colkurtz]

Guys, Batch has been in the same offense for more years than Campbell has been in this one... you'd have to expect to see Batch doing better than Campbell. But it's not good that Collins looks better than JC.

If JC continues to have a mediocre PS - is there any circumstance you'd ut in Collins over JC?

[shally]

mason with a terrible play.. went laterally instead of getting a first..

sellers is bruised

[shally]

If JC continues to have a mediocre PS - is there any circumstance you'd ut in Collins over JC?

not until game 5 or 6

[InsomniaKiller]

Sellers injury doesn't look bad after the replay. Hopefully just a bruise. Looks like he got kicked.

[colkurtz]

Collins on the short pass to Mason who doesn't get the yards.

Another good return by the Steelers.

Steelers have a 10 yard penalty.

[shally]

doughty with a solo tackle on the reverse.. stayed home

[Dolla Bill]

Mason ran a poor route. Should of went up the field 3 more yards.

[wewantdallas]

Can I just say... Mike Patrick is probably the worst announcer in the profession. Can I just say that?

Love how he said at one point that Eloy gave "an OUTSTANDING effort" on a punt return only to see Danny Smith ream Eloy out on the sideline for sucking.

[Taylor21TheUndertaker]

doughty with a solo tackle on the reverse.. stayed home

havlicek-esque

[shally]

defense gashed up the middle.. where is the MLB ??

[colkurtz]

mason with a terrible play.. went laterally instead of getting a first..

sellers is bruised

He should have been over the first down line.......it was a bad play.

[shally]

skins getting gashed on the cut back

[jtovb2005]

Guys, Batch has been in the same offense for more years than Campbell has been in this one... you'd have to expect to see Batch doing better than Campbell. But it's not good that Collins looks better than JC.

I don't think so. JC did nothing at all here. you don't need to know an offense to complete more than 1 pass? JC has the skills. problem is he has far to many periods like this. We simply can't turn the corner like this. He must play better.

[Dolla Bill]

This is getting ugly if this backup offense smacks around our defense.

[shally]

great play by doughty on the screen to the TE

[colkurtz]

Sellers injury not too bad. Ice bag on leg. Leg got kicked? Walking around.

Dixon under pressure. Doughty makes a good tackle for loss.

[shally]

3rd and long for the steeler

dixon is in for them

fumbled snap. Rak with the tackle. 4th down coming

[shally]

dorsey with a nice return.. at least he runs up the field

[colkurtz]

Sack by Orakpo. Defense steps up and plays well.

Dorsey has a good return! Finally!

[Dolla Bill]

Not a bad return. Beats ARE's 40 yard lateral run, only to ending up with only a 2.5 yard return.

[shally]

Sack by Orakpo. Defense steps up and plays well.

Dorsey has a good return! Finally!

looks like Rak is at DE ?

[shally]

Rock goes no where

[colkurtz]

Question for the group: So everyone is saying that even if JC has a terrible PS you'd keep playing him into the first part of the season?

Does everyone really think he is the future? Just asking

[shally]

collins with nothing on second

another 3rd down coming

blitz coming.. blocker did nothing to protect (Rock ??)

punt--crappy punt.. shank

[colkurtz]

looks like Rak is at DE ?

Yes. He got in and was helped by the dropped ball.

[Dolla Bill]

Smith with a shanked punt.

[Fathead]

If he's not the future, then the future is not on our roster.

[shally]

Question for the group: So everyone is saying that even if JC has a terrible PS you'd keep playing him into the first part of the season?

Does everyone really think he is the future? Just asking

he is what he is.. NOT a STARTER.. Zorn is going down with him

orakpo with another tackle

[tbfoster1]

Orakpo is sure in on alot of plays. Good stuff

[colkurtz]

Rak makes a great tackle behind the line. Alternating from LB position.

[InsomniaKiller]

Orakpo is pretty much amazing.

[tuckahoeskin]

Orakpo is playing like the Steelers trashed his Trans Am (Fast Times at Ridgemont High reference for you youngin's).

[colkurtz]

Pass and Rak on another tackle.

[shally]

pass to the tight end.. covered by orakpo

just caused a false start on third down

[tbfoster1]

Orakpo is pretty much amazing.

yeah pretty much...I might have to pick up his jersey

[colkurtz]

Penalty on Steelers.

Good pass by Steelers QB for 1st down. .

[tuckahoeskin]

yeah pretty much...I might have to pick up his jersey

I refuse to give any more money to the midget.

[shally]

Orakpo is pretty much amazing.

showing him lifting a 300 pound lineman off the ground.. dude is seriously strong in the arms.. being compared to freeney..wow !!

[shally]

Penalty on Steelers.

Good pass by Steelers QB for 1st down. .


over tryon ?? or Barnes ? couldnt tell

[Dolla Bill]

Penalty on Steelers.

Good pass by Steelers QB for 1st down. .

I'm getting tired of that statement tonight. Lol. For all "good" this defense is supposed to be, they need to play better. I know its 2nd stringers, but damn...you're playing for a job.

[shally]

great recognition by orakpo and holmes on the screen

[Dolla Bill]

We'll see Cult starting the 3rd quarter.

[colkurtz]

he is what he is.. NOT a STARTER.. Zorn is going down with him

orakpo with another tackle

I just wonder if Zorn will go down quietly with JC; especially if he doesn't think he will succeed.

He know he's got to win 9 or 10 to stay. IF Collins is playing better .......

[tbfoster1]

I refuse to give any more money to the midget.

yeah i hear you. I said that last year too but found myself picking up stuff here and there. I am planning on staying my a$$ at home this year though

[shally]

3rd and 10 .. need a stop here

sweed beat moore for big gainer

[Dolla Bill]

Does Kareem Moore know he has arms? I mean he could of reached out to stop that catch.

[colkurtz]

Jarmon with good pressure but got outrun. Rak was double-teamed. Teams won't be able to double-team him AND AH.

[InsomniaKiller]

Elsewhere, the Giants and Bears are still playing their starters and the Giants are getting embarassed.

[Dolla Bill]

Here goes the typical Blanch 2 minute defense. Man...he sucks.

[tbfoster1]

Elsewhere, the Giants and Bears are still playing their starters and the Giants are getting embarassed.

good to hear...f the giants

[shally]

doughty blitzes-- dixon runs to the 10

beat the blitz

steelers have 2 quality backup qb's..

[colkurtz]

I'm getting tired of that statement tonight. Lol. For all "good" this defense is supposed to be, they need to play better. I know its 2nd stringers, but damn...you're playing for a job.

I DIDN'T mean good for us. In commentary and with my horrible typing it's sometimes better to just keep it short.

[colkurtz]

Everytime we blitz - it's picked up and they get big yardage.

[shally]

tryon beaten by sweed but play wiped out by procedure

[Skinzlover223]

I don't think so. JC did nothing at all here. you don't need to know an offense to complete more than 1 pass? JC has the skills. problem is he has far to many periods like this. We simply can't turn the corner like this. He must play better.

I agree. The Jason Campbell apologist love to point to other factors such as the oline (which gave him lots of time tonight) as to why we have poor QB production. It is possible that the guy just isn't that good. Radical thought, but 1 pass completed, come on stop blaming his poor QB play on everything else but the person who deserves it. Nice guy below avg QB.

Nah, I know what you meant. Lol.

Its been bad for us all around. If it wasn't for all these penalties the Steelers have, it would be worse.

[shally]

got pressure with just 4 that time...

[colkurtz]

Golston had a good push up the middle. Pass was out of bounds.

Next pass incomplete. Dixon missing open WR

[shally]

good coverage when we DONT blitz.. dixon cant find anyone

[akhhorus]

Someone needs to tell the announcers that getting within 3 yards of the Qb isn't pressuring them.

[shally]

3rd and 20

fine solo tackle by westbrook

Orakpo took himself out of play

[colkurtz]

We're doing ok against one of the best teams in the NFL.

3rd and 20. Draw play to the 15. Orakpo misses the tackle high.

Is that your first post in this thread? I was beginning to think you were at the game.

Theismann's raving about that though lol

[shally]

FG 10-3

skins with 44 seconds left

[akhhorus]

The Steelers broadcaster are raving about Marko Mitchell.

[Dolla Bill]

Theismann's raving about that though lol

Haha, I think Theisman is wearing his jersey in the booth.

[shally]

eloi smacked down

[colkurtz]

If we had an offense this game would be even closer.

They are giving Rak huge kudos. Him and AH are going to be a handfull.


Eloi crushed on the 18.

[akhhorus]

Haha, I think Theisman is wearing his jersey in the booth.

Yeah, thats getting ridiculous. He gets chipped by Mendenhall and there's a 5 minute rant about how he's being double teamed.

[Dolla Bill]

I think Eloi is gonna end up getting cut after the first round of cuts.

[tbfoster1]

The Steelers broadcaster are raving about Marko Mitchell.

hasn't he only caught 1 ball?

[shally]

Hackett with a miss..

[colkurtz]

Hackett didn't make the catch! That would have been first down.

Kelly for 20 yds!

[akhhorus]

hasn't he only caught 1 ball?

Yeah, but I've been impressed by him also. Very fluid.

[jtovb2005]

been on the phone for a bit and not paying close attention. Seems I am not missing much? Things are pretty bland here?

[Taylor21TheUndertaker]

i may jump on the collins bandwagon

[shally]

kelly to the 40

no way we should cut mitchell for hackett

[Dolla Bill]

Nice grab by Kelly. He has got some monstrous hands to catch the ball with.

[InsomniaKiller]

Awful throw by Collins. He threw it very awkward, like a shotput. Stupid.

[colkurtz]

Collins is picked off. So much for that that drive.

[Dolla Bill]

i may jump on the collins bandwagon

Care to rethink that?

[shally]

terrible pass by collins

thomas didnt help, but that was on collins

we have NO starting QB

[Skinzlover223]

i may jump on the collins bandwagon

Despite the INT I'm still on the bandwagon

[Dolla Bill]

terrible pass by collins

thomas didnt help, but that was on collins

we have NO starting QB

I agree with you. If we could just combine all of our QBs into one QB.

[tbfoster1]

Yeah, but I've been impressed by him also. Very fluid.

ah, my attention span only allows me to follow the ball...lol

[shally]

missed FG

offsides grant.. re try

Grant can say good bye

and another miss

[colkurtz]

Long FG attempt.

ANOTHER ST mistake. Penalty gives the kicker another chance from 48 yds.

Another missed kick. Dodged that bullet.

[Dolla Bill]

I wonder if we'll see more of Collins even after that INT.

[shally]

Despite the INT I'm still on the bandwagon

he is still better than Campbell because he actually throws the ball down the field

[tuckahoeskin]

If you want to hear bad announcers, check out the Bungles-Pats game on NFL Network. Ewww

[shally]

and the back up O line is playing pretty well so far..

[Skinzlover223]

terrible pass by collins

Haha please tell me this isn't the first time you realized we don't have a starting QB. The front office knew that this offseason. yet people were pissed that they tried to improve.

[InsomniaKiller]

I wonder if we'll see more of Collins even after that INT.

I doubt it. I know Zorn said he's giving Chase Daniel a look this game, and Collins has been in for over a quarter. I figured Colt will get the 3rd and Chase mos of the 4th, but who knows.

[colkurtz]

terrible pass by collins

I think it was his noddle arm. We are in trouble at QB.

[Skinzlover223]

No argument here. Just wish more people thought like us!

[Taylor21TheUndertaker]

Care to rethink that?

Eh, ill wait and let campbells demeanor after another three and out tick me off in reg season

[CarMike]

Haha please tell me this isn't the first time you realized we don't have a starting QB. The front office knew that this offseason. yet people were pissed that they tried to improve.

+1

Well said Skinzlover223.

[colkurtz]

Bears up 17-3 over the Gants. Maybe without Plaxico the Giants aren't going to be as good as everyone thinks.
