Re: 49ers Vs Steelers
-Alex Smith is who we thought he was
-they can't score touchdowns (3 for their last 19 in the redzone)
-the Oline is getting killed every week
-Patrick Willis is hurt and probably is out
- Frank Gore is playing hurt and not right
The 49ers can't score enough to keep pace with the Steelers, it is that simple. Just like when they played us, their offense will not be able to score more than 10 points on a top level defense. Their offense is terrible and don't let the record fool you. If thy played in the AFC they would be fighting for a wildcard spot.
They have far exceeded any expectations this year, and are a year and a couple pieces away from being able to compete with championship caliber teams.
I pray I am wrong, but I have been reading up on them the past week and things are not good right now in San Fran, trust me.

Re: 49ers Vs Steelers
^52 is right. 9ers defense could get some sacks and stops but their offense has nothing. I see a low scoring win for Pitt

Re: 49ers Vs Steelers
Here is what San Fran will need to win....
Willis somehow playing
A +2 turnover advantage
Frank Gore having a great day and controlling the rock
Defense setting them up with short fields and the offense converting them into TD's
Woodley out and the Steelers pass rush completely ineffective
A couple big plays in the passing game from a QB who doesn't make them.
Jen hurt and completely off target all game

Re: 49ers Vs Steelers
I think Ben's leg is worse than the Steelers are saying. 49ers could pull out an upset, at least that is what I am hoping for.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

Re: 49ers Vs Steelers
Lamar Woodley is going to be key. If he can make it through the entire game, it could make the difference for the Steelers. If he can only play twenty snaps and/or aggravates the hamstring injury, I could see Pittsburgh's defense struggling to force Alex Smith into passing.

Re: 49ers Vs Steelers
Unfortunately I think the 49ers are on an arc like Buffalo has already experienced and have probably run their course of good fortune for the season. The Ravens beat them up pretty badly and I don't think they are at that place yet to beat the elite teams. That being said, the Steelers are traveling across the country with serious personel problems.
It will be tight but if Roethlisberger's fat, limping ass is out there, don't be surprised to see him win one at the end.
Awesome weekend for football watching after a couple rather crappy ones.

Re: 49ers Vs Steelers
I have a suspicion that this one could get ugly for the Steelers.

Re: 49ers Vs Steelers
Any given Sunday. I am thinking with the defenses, it could go either way. Hell I have seen the Jags, Chiefs, Browns, and Colts test the MIGHTY Steelers.
They will be without Cheapshot Harrison, so it should counter Patrick Willis. I am not giving anything for Ben playing hurt. Till that bitch is in a hospital bed, he still plays. I wonder how many drugs he'll be shot up with to play?
Anyway, the 49ers are built like the Ravens of old, they'll hang and maybe get a close one. Unless Dracula, I mean Ben comes back from the grave one more time.

Re: 49ers Vs Steelers
I think the steelers are going to pull out all the stops to try and win this one.
They already have a playoff birth, but with the division finally attainable for them, Ben will play.
I don't know that it's a great move for their playoff hopes, trotting an injured Ben out there against that defense, but you certainly can't blame them for going for the division title.
