I feel good about us beating the 49eres

Reasons:
1. They didn't look all that great last night against Minnesota.

2. Our secondary can only go up from what they did last week.

3. Real steel doesn't feel good about beating them.

4. I'll be at the game and I will not allow us to lose!

 

5. I'll be wearing my Steelers socks with sandals

 

Hyde scares me a bit but he is a pounder and those backs don't normally give us a problem. Also the short week for the Niners and the long week for the Steelers helps out in that area as well. Kapernick is no Tom Brady and struggles on the quick passes from what I seen last night. He is always a threat to run but I would suspect Shazier is going to be spying him a lot.

 

Their Defense is better then most people are giving them credit for. Hopefully they're tired from the long flight but the last two teams from the west coast to fly in here beat us.
Oakland and San diego. So that myth goes out the window

 

I will hold you to your promise!

 

Past performance is not indicative of future results.

 

It will be a close game but I FEEL we will win because Ben will not allow a loss lol. I think he comes out hot and our running game does enough. Our D will look a tad better. If we lose this game we probably go 0-4 but we got this. lol @ reel steel

 

A positive post?? Shame on you for trying to blow sunshine up our skirts!

 

Yeah, but i've been to way more wins than losses. Plus this is my Stone Cold said so Lock of the week.

 

I like our chances too, Glenn.

 

And my personal favourite is #3 .. Good job Glenn..

 

No that was me TTF. I was there.. Lost it in the last 30 seconds or something crazy like that. I was disappointed but my kids were devastated

 

We get the first of 15 regular season wins this week!

 

• 9 days rest vs. 5 days rest

• West coast team traveling to the east coast

• We are the more talented team. If we hadn't shot ourselves in the foot 15 times, we'd have beaten New England. San Francisco and Minnesota were both jokes for most of that game.

 

I like our chances, too. Looking into my crystal ball, I actually see the D getting some fairly consistent pressure on Kaepernick with Bud, Jarvis, and Harrison all getting sacks while Gay gets at least 1 INT.

 

I guess calling in sick might look suspect after a Saturday evening..

 

biggest jump for teams from week 1 to week 2. we have more prep time. they will be playing catch up most of the game hopefully.

 

On paper, we should be a lock to win. Short week and west to east travel for them. Long week for us.

What scares me isn't the 49'ers, it's us. We always beat ourselves with stupid plays.

 

Plus Boykin will likely be playing this game, and according to some of the talk around here he is possibly the greatest DB we've had since Glenn Edwards.

There is literally no way we can lose, except for if we score less points than them.

Out of interest, Glenn, are you going to start a positive thread to counteract every thread from Real Steel? Because that would be awesome.

 

This, for years it has seemed that the biggest opponent the Steelers face is themselves. They have to limit mistakes and take advantage of opportunities. When they do so, they sky is the limit. When they don't, we have discussions about firing one or more of the coaches immediately.

 

Well, if the OP is right so will I. But I will wait until around 4:30 or 5 Sunday.
