Game day 2 – Steel Town Homecoming

Week 2 of the Niners season is Jimmy T’s homecoming. Back to Pittsburgh. He’ll have a bunch of support from friends and family but not from the rest of river city.

As i suspect early on, and through ateast half the season, no one will take this team seriously nor give their opponents any points. The Niners get 6.5 for this one.  Actually smaller than I thought, given the 3 point home bump, and the supposed superiority of the Steelers.

hey, you never know. The Niners have won 5 of the last 7 meetings .

    The coverage wasn’t soft on Smith when he made the 75 yard TD catch. He was bracketed by 2 guys.. The thing is, the Niners WERE driving the ball well most of the day by going underneath and spreading the ball around. But they were doing that early as well as late. It’s hard to pinpoint if Pitts changed anything since we were moving the ball all dayl. All those red zone fuckups were terrible though. Even though Pittsburgh was scoring at will, we left 2 TDs on the field. If we score on those opportunities, the score is 43-36. The early fumble that they instantly turned into a TD was a killer.

    So the game was closer than it appeared for whatever that’s worth. I don;t think they played it much different had we scored those 2, but who’s to know? The pressure never lessened, and they were stuffing the run all day.
