Pittsburgh Steelers at San Francisco 49ers

[Mike FF Today 721]

Inactives

Steelers - WR Emmanuel Sanders, T Jamon Meredith, C Maurkice Pouncey, DE Al Woods, LB Chris Carter, CB Curtis Brown

 

49ers - QB Scott Tolzien, FB Moran Norris, WR Braylon Edwards, G Michael Person, NT Ian Williams, LB Patrick Willis, CB Tramaine Brock

 

Big Ben is active and expected to start but he looks very gimpy in pregame warmups. His mobility is going to be limited.

Lol, apparently there is a blackout at the stadium right now.

All the power is out.

 

I'm thinking kickoff will be delayed

+1

[RicemanX 20]

Players are making their way on the field now. But lights are still around 50%.

 

I'm guestimating start time at 6:15pm PST.

10 min to national. Anthem

This is where the Steelers shine. Everthing to gain by winning for the Steelers and alot to lose. Big games are what the Steelers are about.

 

Steelers for the win.

[RicemanX 20]

Big Ben got pain injections and they are saying that this means the injections will wear off sooner.

 

Oh the little things.

[Patrick977 0]

Look at the 49ers give the Steelers yards. Just tackle them!

Oh the little things.

Maybe the pain injections wore off, Big Ben just threw a red zone interception.

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Nice pass fatass.

[bjsteel 34]

Looks like the Steelers defenders all have bad ankles...could they be playing any further off the WR's?

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Alex Smith biting them in the ass. A good QB would have hit Williams on the numbers.

[cdogge 17]

This is going to be a battle of which team can suck worse at redzone running.

 

It's honestly like they all go brain dead the second they reach the 20 yardline.

[GridIronAssassin#1 0]

The Steelers better keep Antonio Brown in the majority of plays. The guy is quick.

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Is Leftwich warming up yet? Or is it Batch?

[GridIronAssassin#1 0]

What's wrong with Heath Miller?

 

He's got to wrestle for that ball.

[bjsteel 34]

Is Martz calling the offensive plays for Pitt??? Ben can't even stand up, yet they pass every down!!

[cdogge 17]

One thing is for sure... The Steelers HATE mendy. Can someone explain to me why you wouldn't pound this guy in a situation like this?

[Patrick977 0]

Well, the Niners do have one of the best rushing defenses in the league....

 

Excuse me, the #1 rushing defense.

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Plus Mendy kind of sucks...

[Joey Gladstone 33]

WTF is this amateur sh!t San Fran?!?! You don't see the lights going out in focking Detroit.

[cdogge 17]

Ok..... But it was somewhat working.

 

Let me re-phrase my question: When you have a QB who shouldn't be playing & tossing more completions to the other team.. Why wouldn't you try to establish a little more run game?

[Teren 2]

My lead is dwindling... Power is out.. Cancel the game maybe?

[Mack 1 6]

What a complete embarrassment.....a freakin' joke.

[robocardz 14]

What's up with Emmanuel Sanders? I know he had some big games earlier in the year .... I think I saw where he had a family member pass away? But that was like 5-6 weeks ago??

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Actually, you are right. They should be running it more.

[Vikings4ever 538]

Anyone else catch what Big Ben said about the guy running around on the field?

 

Where's James Harrison when you need him?

Injury Out

[roroco 75]

So the lights are out in Candlelight Park again... Glad to see the emergency lights consist of the advertising banners. Priorities.

[murf74 461]

Time off helps burgh defense that is probably getting tired

[cdogge 17]

There's going to be about 5.5 viewers by the time the 4th Qtr rolls around.

I certainly agree, just reasoning why they are probably passing. Mendenhall has found some space, and they probably should be leaning on him more. Of course, I felt that they should have done that entirely the last game against Cleveland when they decided to trot Ben out there and have him throwing in a game they could have won without him.

[roroco 75]

Wow... It took Berman that long to figure out the irony in the power outage at Candlestick Park...

Illegal contact penalties show how backwards the league is. The Steelers take 15 yards of penalties and then get an automatic first down on a five yard penalty.

If you don't make it auto first everyone would just hold all game
