Re: Do you wanna know why Coach Harbaugh didn't save the fake FG?
I thought it was a little bit of an f-u towards the Raiders for taking some cheap shots, in particular the personal fouls on hits to Pitta and Rice. And also the scoreboard deal with Boldin. Whether it was that or simply as Harbaugh said, I have no problem with it.

Anyone watch Jeff Fisher run 2 fake punts against the 49ers yesterday? They both worked too.

A little warning next time with that link? If I were inviting you to a mental institution, I would give you proper warning.
They really are a pissy bunch. And they say the worse part is that it was a fake FG to run up the score, like this never happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtnvWRluR5E
Hypocrisy is a Steelers fan.

I was unaware that a "play call bank" exists where coaches can stash successful plays for future games. :grbac:

Like Harbs said, they overload trying for a block, you run the ball to the weak side. No one will revisit that particular tactic against us, & that will make life slightly easier for Tucker & the rest of the unit. (Not to say they won't try shifting into an overload after they're committed to the kick, but that poses its own problems for the defenders.)

Re: Do you wanna know why Coach Harbaugh didn't save the fake FG?
I never like running a gadget play in a blowout against a weak team. At 41-17, there's no reason for it. All it does is make the odds about zero that it'll work next week if we try something similar. I've also said that these type of plays are totally wasted in games like this. It's not the when you're playing the stiffs that you pull these out but in games against good teams you have to beat. Using it in last year's opener was fine. Yesterday was overkill and served no purpose. We don't want the Steelers thinking about such a play. We want them NOT thinking about it.
