3rd & 3, and Gainwell on a pass and run to the 2. It was a crossing pattern, and he was wide open, and got some nice blocks by the WRs
what a BS personal foul on Blankenship for his tackle on Justiin Fields.
Almost as much of a BS call as both personal fouls on the Steelers in the endzone scuffle and nothing on the Eagles.
he was in the tent, but he came out, and seems ready to go. No reports so far (that I've seen or heard) that he's injured or out.
both of those calls against the Steelers were legit, IMHO. I thought there should have also been one against an Eagle on that play
I actually agreed with the refs on the endzone scuffle. It was totally instigated by Pittsburgh. It’s rare that both sides don’t get hit by a penalty in such circumstances, I’ll agree.
With the PAT, it's 17-10, Birds, with 2:34 in the 2nd qtr.
The PAT doinked, but went through the uprights.
It was an 11-play, 78-yard drive by the Steelers.

Eagles player appeared to throw a punch. At a minimum he struck near neck area of other guy. It doesn’t matter who instigated it. How many times does the retaliation get flagged? It should have been offsetting penalties
Someone should tell Blandino the hit was to the head & neck BECAUSE of the late slide. If Fields doesn’t slide late, the hit is to the chest.
3rd & 12, and Hurts is sacked by Watt. Birds will have to punt from inside their 20 with 1:26 left in the half.
3rd & 20 for the Steelers, with 0:48 left ...
they pick up 11 on a slant, and will have to settle for a 49-yard FG attempt.
Birds call TO
The kick is good.
17-13, Birds, with 0:37 sec left in the half

Eagles 177 yds, 5.7ypp
Pitt 80 yds, 2.7 ypp
Feels like an iowa game

Steelers had one good drive for a TD. OTOH, the first FG was a gift and the second FG was the result of a short punt. With the lead, Sirianni had the luxury of keeping Saquon on the sideline as a precaution. I like the Eagles’ outlook for the second half.
Can’t believe it is this close with Pickens not in the game. This should have Been a slam duck for that other team in pa.
4th & 2, and Elliott in for a 48-yard FG attempt.
And it's good.
Flag on the play
personal foul against the Steelers, so a 1st down for the Birds
And it's good.

BTW, Brady called the Birds' FG kicker "Akers." That hasn't been the case for ?? (20 years? can'r remember)
