***SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS. PITTSBURGH STEELERS GAMEDAY THREAD (MONDAY NIGHT) ***

We have been lucky as hell with our schedule this year. Everything has fallen into place with us playing other teams on their short weeks or with major players injured. We will not be so lucky on Monday night. We will get our butts kicked and our O line will look like feeble morons. It will be awful. I really don't know if Alex will survive the beating to finish the game. AND YES, our O-line sucks big time.

so you aren't going to waste your time watching the game then.


Good.

Might as well just put on a Steelers jersey too.

Don't give the troll any attention

How in the Hell will we stop Mike Wallace?

The rest of their offense, I am not worried about, but Wallace...

How the hell do we stop Mike Wallace AND Antonio Brown...... 2 of the fastest WR combinations in the league IMO......

Get pressure up in Big Ben's face early and often.

Speedy receivers are going to get their yards regardless. It's just the way the league is now and there are no exceptions that I see. So we'll "handle" Pitt's WR's like we always do. That is, bracket coverage to limit the big play.

That's about all you can do.

They are 2nd in sacks allowed in the AFC.

Collinsworth brought up a great point regarding this game on Inside the NFL tonight (even picked us to win), that the Steelers could be playing it safe in this game for Big Ben's part, running the ball more often than usual; which is something Pittsburgh did previously this season whilst Ben was initially refined to a protective boot during weeks 4-7.

Maurkice Pouncey (Steelers center) is also going to play on a level-1 high ankle sprain (is walking gingerly on the practice field right now); I think we have a legit shot at shutting their offense down, and a shot at running the ball ourselves (but no way we torch them in the passing game; their backfield is a vicious monster).

Banged up center + Harrison out levels the odds, but Big Ben has also been known to play like a hero QB with that boot on.

We will win this game.
And Polamalu will not finish the game, bank on it.

We will win, and win convincingly
31-17 Nyyyynnaazz!!

That's a big part of it. Just as long as he wraps him up. Big Ben doesn't just collapse like a leaf under pressure.

If Willis plays, which he won't,

Cover 3, 4 man rush, 55 & 53 get the flats and 52 and 38 get to roam the middle.

Go, Niners, go!
