The Terrible Podcast — Steelers Vs. Eagles Recap, Injury Updates, Tomlin Monday, Listener Emails & More

December 16, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 65 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers' Sunday afternoon road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and how the team managed to secure a playoff spot despite that. The Steelers sustained a few injuries during their loss to the Eagles with the primary one being to OLB T.J. Watt. We go over the latest updates on his health and the outlook for him potentially playing on Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens. We also go over the other five players dealing with injuries that HC Mike Tomlin talked about during his weekly press conference that took place on Monday. We go over a few other talking points from the Tomlin press conferences from Sunday evening and Monday afternoon. Alex and I then dive deep into breaking down the Steelers Sunday loss to the Eagles. There is a ton to go over when it comes to the offensive and defensive play from Sunday, most of which was bad. We discuss how the Eagles offense decided to attack the Steelers defense and how RB Saquon Barkley didn’t impact the game as much as most thought he would. That came at a cost, however, and we break that down. The Steelers offensive scheme and game plan was quite flawed on Sunday, so we go over that. We also go over the lack of possession time from the Steelers offense and how the unit only managed to get 3 points off of two turnovers. Seemingly bad penalty calls went against the Steelers on Sunday so Alex and I go over those and the impact, or lack thereof, they may have had on the overall outcome of the contest. We also discuss some Tomlin decisions made on Sunday, with one of those being related to a timeout not taken. Several snap counts and stats from Sunday are covered in this episode along with us slowly looking ahead to the Week 16 Saturday game against the Ravens with some worry. This 90-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
