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 .

    24 – 21 today. Hate to pick against us but not only is it east coast short week but they’ve had extra time to prepare. Not only that but they’ll want to rebound at home after getting bounced by NE.
    Can we shock the world AGAIN !?
    GO NINERS !!!

    Gonna be hard to rattle Ben as we did with Teddy last week.
    We’ll find out soon enough just how well a short week of prep gets handled against a well rested opponent.

    Be nice to find a big play or 2 on their Secondary from Torrey too.

    24-17 Niners

    I would expect us to be able to run over the Steelers and to stop their running game. Can we stop their passing game. Probably not. Can we equalize that with moving the chains and minimalizing Big Ben’s opportunities? I think yes. And because defense and running games travel well I say 27-24 49ers.

    few things more irritating than losing a TO on a dumbass challenge as soon as the game starts.

    Worth it tho. A 35 yard 3rd down play that was close, id throw it.

  8. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Fuck. Stupid mistakes.

  9. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Boldin did this shit last year. Perfect throw, first down and he doesn’t tuck the ball away.

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Based on the stupid rules around catching I have no idea. Wow. Makes no sense.

  11. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Agree Flavor, let’s hope Tomsula doesn’t take up Harbaugh’s penchant for retarded challenges. That wasn’t even close to being challenge-worthy.

  12. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Niners got lucky there. That was a fumble.

  13. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    2 deep balls now. Sorry, but Johnson doesn’t impress me, at least not yet. He got whipped by a mediocre receiver.

  14. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    That was way too easy. Welcome back to earth, boys.

  16. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Man, the o-line looks shaky in pass pro.

  17. OHDbee's avatar OHDbee says:

    The I have mommy issues.

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Red zone blues. Fuck. Once again the WRs are barely involved.

  19. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Make a play, goddamn it

  20. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Quick plays are still something we can’t do.

  21. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Damn not good so far!

  22. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Boone has gotten abused on a couple of pass plays now.

  23. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Same story, if they don’t give Kaepernick time, he’s not going to complete passes downfield.

  24. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    We still refuse ti throw slants. Or deep balls. Nice drive, but they need to score.

    Tomsula dogs Boone for his shitty play.

  25. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    This is getting ridiculous.

  26. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    And it’s already starting to get ugly. No pressure on Roethlisberger, blitzes aren’t working, secondary getting shredded. Not good.

  27. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Reid was in decent position and stopped running. Not sure why

  28. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Back to earth with a THUD.

  29. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    This game will test Colin’s arm!!

    This is the NFL, guys, you HAVE to be able to pass.
