The Eagles took one step closer to beginning a new season today, as they opened the preseason in Pittsburgh against the Steelers. Ultimately, they lost 16-10, but since this is the preseason that's not really that important, so let's talk about what is. First Donovan Mcnabb and the first string offense looked good, as Mcnabb completed 9 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown in limited action and the rookie Desean Jackson caught 5 balls for 51 yards. Meanwhile, the the first string defense did not look so good, allowing the Steelers to go on an 80 yard 8 play drive, capped off by a 19 yd touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Santonio Holmes. So all in all it was an uneven preseason debut for the Birds, but no worries, they still have 3 preseason games left to figure things out.
