i am from philly and will be at gm sunday. jeez, not sure if i should wear flyers orange, eagles green or make a hybrid fashion statement.

thank god for you there is hockey lockout or pens would continue to be our b****es…

and too bad that thing you call a baseball team fizzled out yet again…

Boykin is struggling against big time receivers, but keep in mind he is a rookie. Also, the Steelers don’t have anyone near the production level of a Fitz or a Cruz that is going to play the slot. Emmanuel Sanders?….

As for getting DeCastro back, it was posted on this site that he was walking briskly at a WVU game. Hey, that’s great news — but we need to keep in mind that “walking briskly” against air as an opponent is a lot less demanding than trench warfare versus Geno Atkins or Haloti Ngata.

Regarding Mendenhall, the reports are he’s looked good. But if our OL continues to fail in creating run lanes — Mendy won’t be the savior. We need to give our backs some holes to work with for our play action to pack more bite.

As for calling out Boykin as “The Candy Bar,” that’s funny in a way — but if The Candy Bar goes house with a pick 6 or lights up Ben on a corner blitz — Eagle Nation will go off, and Philly Fan can get pretty creative. The Battle of Pennsylvania — can’t wait.

Iggles are ranked # 7 vs pass, but that is skewed by holding Weeden to 118 yds in his 1st start.

Since then, they’ve allowed 232 yards and 1TD to Flacco, 222 and 2TD’s to Kevin Kolb and 309 yards and 2TD’s to Eli Manning.

Steeler passing game has too many weapons and their O-Line is pass-blocking much better than last year.

Steelers have won 26 of 32 from the NFC, are playing at home coming off of a bye, are 1-2 and NEED this win, get 3 key players back from injury (2 for the 1st time this season).

Steelers 27-17

Talk about the rookie and plan for something other.

Trust… Ball control and time of possession will be the key.

all i know is the steelers better have more for the eagles than they did for the raiders…. what kind of trash did they talk that day?

and i think boykin was victim of a poor plan in the arizona game. they treated fitz like a regular reciever; belichick doubled him every play the week previous….

The Eagles – Steelers is going to be a great game either way.

What else is new? Yes, Ben will run for his life a number of times during the game. Do you realize that when Ben does that, 99 times out of 100 he makes a big positive play? He is the best in the league at extending plays and getting the job done.

Seriously, I cannot see the Eagles DBs shutting out the Steelers young fast WRs all game. They will get open, they will score TDs. Ben should have 3-4 TD passes easily. Especially if they get any kind of running game going.

The bigger question is can the Steelers defense with Harrison and Polamalu playing again pressure Vick into the mistakes he is prone to make when pressured?

you do know this is 2012, right? better take a look at those offensive and defensive rankings: eagles #6 defense and #5 offense. if this game was being played on an even playing field (instead of steelers coming off bye), you’d definitely be in for some tainted candy in that store.

You mean the refs practically gave them a victory with those pass interference calls? He surely didn’t look good in the game though.

Antonio Brown is a decent receiver but he shouldn’t forget that he was nobody until the Steelers were desperate enough to start throwing to him. Maybe show a little more respect for your fellow players.
