They said what about the Birds?
Some interesting web chatter to note after the Eagles’ 24-23 victory over Pittsburgh last night.
NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal discusses the lessons learned from Thursday night’s NFL games. He says, “Eagles fans will probably start clamoring to see more of rookie quarterback Nick Foles after a fine outing with the third-teamers.”
Rosenthal also reviews the night’s big plays around the league with video clips. The Eagles come up short on Rosenthal’s picks, as he highlights a catch by Emmanuel Sanders and also the illegal hit by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
Speaking of Cromartie, ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio says DRC should expect to hear from the league office for his penalized hit on Steelers quarterback Byron Leftwich.
“The launching made the outcome more flagrant than the run-of-the-mill helmet-to-helmet hit on defenseless players,” Florio writes. “In fact, it could have justified an ejection.”
What are Steelers’ bloggers saying about the game? The site “SteelersLounge” writes, “The players that will be cut by the Eagles in three weeks are better than the players that will be cut by the Steelers in three weeks.”
And ESPN’s Ashley Fox wrapped up perfectly the sentiments surrounding the night and the past week for coach Andy Reid and his dealings with Eagles fans. “If anything, these past few days have shown how respected Reid is in the city where he works.”

Vick went three and out, three and out, then got hurt. He didn't weant to play anymore against the Steelers who always wreck him.— mario1239- Mario: It's preseason. It means nothing knucklehead.— ACBaughman
- well, he is a warhound, those are the real heroes. However, equating the two circumstances makes no sense— peteike
- Warhound: Are you not taking your Lexipro?— BirdinParadise
- Just disgusted with our medias priorities. Do they cover the tragic death of every heroin addict? No - only if daddy is famous. Do they cover the war adequately (sp?)? No! And, yeah, if the Birds win a SB I don't want to hear about this again and again and again.....It's like Olympic fluff pieces - hate 'em..... sorry that makes me a bit cantakerous... not a bad person.— Warhound
- I thought the DRC Hit occurred outside of the pocket, the Quarterback was a runner and no longer had the protection of being in the pocket, the hit happened outside of the Tackle.— Dexter
- Its so funny to read the comments from the national media regarding the DRC hit. I stepped out to the store and was listening to the game on the radio and Merrill Reese, like the homer he is, went absolutely crazy, blaming the replacement refs for an awful call. To Mike Quicks credit, he totally disagreed, and said that the real refs would have made the same call, that it was a penalty. Merrill was incredulous.— watsonmr
- Merrill should be put out to pasture— dwilly
- Agree with Warhound. The media have their fetishes and go into a feeding frenzy over infidelity, perversion (whatever THAT is), and celebrity tragedies. It's lurid and disgusting....and boring. People need to worry about their OWN shortcomings.— doc35
- he is not just another heroin addict he is the head coach of the eagle's son whom happened to be working with the team at camp so an employee as well... but your right the world the media needs to just stop annoying you with talk of andy's sons death and all the inspirational olympic pieces because your feelings only matter just you warhound just you...— defroe
