Great win over Pittsburg, but as a fan one needs to reflect on the Pittsburg Steeler team they faced.
1. James Harrison suspended- no doubt would have helped their defense.
2. Lamar Woodley injureed his hamstring- it would be like the niners going without Justin Smith and Aldon Smith.
3. Ben Roethisberger hurt ankle.
On the mega positive side, the niners made the Steelers one dimensional, so Aldon Smith was on the field for 2 out of 3 downs. He will be a beast when he is on the field for all of the downs.
Patrick Willis hurt negates all that/thread
