Big Ben a Game-Time Decision – Willis a No-Show at Thursday Practice

In other words, if Balt wins, Pittsburgh likely won’t risk playing Worthlessberger and reaggravating the ankle injury. Among the injured who missed Thursday practice for Pittsburgh are Troy Polamalu (hamstring), and center Maurkice Pouncey (ankle). James Harrison of course was suspended for his hit on Colt McCoy in last week’s Cleveland game. The 49ers are battling injuries of their own. Joe Staley is still out with his concussion. He hasn’t been cleared to play yet. Gore is nursing his various injuries but isn’t listed on the injury report.   

Of note during practice this week was the fact that the Niners spent more time working on their red zone offense. Good to know. And the team ‘recommended’ that the crowd not do the wave while the offense has the ball. They seem to think that the noise generated by the wave caused a sack during the StL game a couple weeks ago. Come on people, you do the wave then the OTHER TEAM has the ball. Doh!

    Bingo. The asshole that leaked the names originally should pay for all this shit.

    Against Pittsburgh the Niners are likely to have a hard time moving the ball and scoring points. Not sure how long Gore will hold up with the scheme of running to set up the pass. Steeler objective # 1 will be to stop the run, force WRs to beat them. I see a game much like the recent Cards game and with a similar outcome if the breaks are not with us. Good thing this is at the Stick.

    20-13 Steelers

      Phil, you’re picking the Niners to lose? You can’t do that, that’s my schtick. There can only be one Minister of Propaganda — me! I’ll tell ya if and when and by how much the 49ers will lose by. And lose they shall this Monday night to Big Ben and Blitzburgh.

      31-21. Both defenses take the night off.

      And just in case the Niners strip me of my propagative propagandist privileges —

      Merry Christmas!

        Yeah the propaganda must be rotting my brain cell. I hate to encroach on your sacred territory but dang it this is what I see right now. Agree with grumpy that we are what we are this year, not going to change now.

        But hey it’s a good year to be a Niner fan and also: Merry Christmas to all!

    The thing I’m worried about IS the crowd noise. I think we are going to see a lot of Niner fans sell their seats to Pitts fans. It’s going to look and sound very discouraging for our guys………

  6. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    The NFL Net. is currently replaying (truncated version) the Niner/Cowboy game from earlier this Sept. Not too shabby of a fantasy day for anyone who had Romo or Austin. You’d be lucky if you had one of those guys that week. If you had both Romo and Austin and had the fortune of playing Chuck that week — you’d be me!

    Funny, both Braylon and Delanie were catching balls back then.
    What happened?

  8. barleyfreak's avatar barleyfreak says:

    Rapesyoursister will definitely start, but we’ll sack him 5 times. Low scoring game, one pick per team, one td per team, big night for the kickers. 19-16 Niners.

  9. Nipper's avatar Nipper says:

    I bet the Niners pound out a win. Ben will play even if he’s on a stretcher! Still he won’t move very fast which should give the Niners D an opportunity.

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    If Balt wins, I don’t see Tomlin risking Worthlessberger out there.

    Soap needs to hold the nose. He didn’t last week and Skelton was able to step up and throw.

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      Baltimore finishes the year at Cincy. They could lose that one. But I expect them to take a dump tomorrow to the Chargers. It’ll be just like Norv to win one that won’t help his cause.

  11. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    The Niners pumped in crowd noise today at practice. Maybe they are expecting an onslaught of Terrible Towels. Watching that Dallas replay was a good reminder — the ‘Stick was damn near half Cowboy fans that day.

  12. bigflavor's avatar Flavor says:

    Due to utter boredom I just might watch the Cowboys game tonight. You could make a case that of their 7 wins they have beaten exactly one decent team– our Niners–a game they should have lost had Harbaugh managed that game better…..
    And they get another freebie tonight. Man, if they can’t beat this shit team, they are fucked. And what’s up with New Orleans? Everyone is freaking out about “OMG! What if we have to play them in their house?” I don’t care about how differently they appear to play at home vs the road. If you lose to The Rams and the horrible Bucs, you could be had on any field, anytime, any circumstances…….

  13. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:

    Yeah the propaganda must be rotting my brain. Since about the Ravens game the 49ers seem to be regressing. It could be injuries (Edwards, Miller, OL guy Snyder) or limitations in overall talent or just peaking early, I dunno. The NFL has figured out how to stop the Niner O: blitz, stop the run, pressure QB, make WRs beat them. This has worked for the better teams- Balt,, AZ- and earlier against the Cows. Haven’t seen any answers from the coaches that work. Hence the 20-13 call against Steelers.

    I hate to encroach on your sacred territory but dang it this is what I see right now. Agree with grumpy that we are what we are this year, not going to change now.

    But hey it’s a good year to be a Niner fan and also: Merry Christmas to all!

    To me, this game is shaping up like the Detroit game. No one is giving us a chance. Therefore, we are going to win. I think we can shut down their offense, and we get 2 TDs and 2 FGs.

    20-10 Niners.

    The Pack just took a HUGE dump in KC.

    Perfection my ass. The ’72 Fish can pop the corks once again.

  16. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    GB’s loss today pretty much insures they’re headed for the SBowl. Pressure’s off.
    I’ll go Niners 20-16 over Steelers…

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Crazy day. The winless Colts win, the lossless Pack loses. Green Bay and NE both have bad defenses. I’ll be surprised if either make the Super Bowl. If the 49ers can get their red zone offense going down the stretch here, they’d be favored.

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Da Raydurs are sure stupid.

  19. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Give it away now , , , Hue Jackson goes deep on 3rd and 3 and they give the ball back with 2;14.

    Too funny. The offense is yukking it up on the sldelines while the defense gives it away.

    Raydurs driving…….
