Steelers vs 49ers prediction thread

[Coach]

Now that the stupid players on offense and defense are either on IR, or at the bottom of the depth chart ( Davis and Moncfief ), things should get better. If only the head coach will follow.... The loss to Seattle can be pinned on Moncrief playing volleyball, leading to the interception AND Sean Davis was called for an illegal block that negated a 34-yard touchdown return on Mark Barron’s fumble recovery. Yes--sometimes one or two boneheaded players can make the difference between a win or loss. We should be 1-1.


Not only are sub-par the mistake-prone players OUT/ Limited on snap counts, better players are taking their roles. Fitzpatrick is far superior to Davis, and Washington with Ruloph at quarterback has shown to much better Wide Receiver.


I think the team will rally around Rudolph who flashed good poise and leadership in addition to accuracy and moxie in his regular-season debut. Randy Fichtner if he's smart should incorporate more play-action, something Rudolph does a good job of selling. Use McDoanld and the backs a bit more in the passing game as San Fran will pay most of its attention to Ju-Ju and stop throwing to WR's that can't catch. I think Rudolph will play pretty well if the Steelers can run the ball well on 1st or 2nd down.

Defensively suddenly we have 3 solid starters among the DB's, all of whom were not drafted. Nelson showed me something last Sunday.


Prediction:


Steelers 25
49ers 20

 

[Tibs]

I say the the Steelers shock the world and unleash their full arsensal on offense. Finally get our running game going & Rudolph comes out guns blasting.

Steelers 7
49ers 6

Alright, had to squeeze a dad joke in there.

My prediction, which includes a defensive or ST touchdown:

Steelers 31
49ers 16

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

We run the ball down their ******* throats. The hogs up front are going to get that nasty back. Nice rotation of the backs. 250 yards rushing between all of them.

Good guys 28
FUs - 17

 

[ZonaBurgh]

It must end sometime, SF isn't that good, and the Steelers aren't that bad.

Us 28
Dem 23

 

[Vader]

West coast trip to a team that just traveled east and put an *** kicking on the bungles?

49ers- 28
Steelers- 20

 

[Spike]

The slide into nothingness continues

31-20 49ers

 

[slashsteel]

Steelers get their first win of the season.

Steelers 23 - whiner forty niners 20

 

[Drink IRON City]

Moncreif-less, Fitz-able, coaching forced to try something new QB, Pacific Blues water.............29

I can't shake the Homer out of me:

Steelers 28
69ers 24

 

[ExUSAF]

Gonna be ugly - I had some hope before the first game, more before last week, now I have none. 49ers 33 Steelers 20. Hope we can hold them to just 33.

 

[BLITZ]

28-17 good guys. our defense will carry us

 

[Steelworth]

West coast trip to a team that just traveled east and put an *** kicking on the bungles?

49ers- 28
Steelers- 20

And Kyle Shanahan has that offense humming. It looks a little bleak, but (and this is a big but)

Any Given Sunday

 

[MeanJim]

Offense starts to show signs of life. Still can't run the ball with any consistency, but Mason, JuJu, Washington, Vance, maybe even Diontae Johnson start giving us a glimmer of hope. I fully expect Mason will not look like a lost and confused first time starter, but he's gonna get blitzed. Fichtner needs to step up.

Steeler defensive scheme demands they leave everyone wide open for 7 yard catches over the middle. Ex-cheatriot backup audibles to running plays when he sees 2 defensive linemen across from him. Gashing ensues.

Niners, 38-24

Tomlin sucks.

 

[mdl]

Shanahan's offense versus Tomlin;s defense is not gonna be pretty. They will isolate Kittles on the duo of Barron and Bush and we will suffer as a result. No adjustnments as usual from Tomlin.

49ers 34
Steelers 16

 

[Steelerfan81]

Steelers 27
49ers 10

 

[Steelr4evr]

Just open up a can of whoop ***. Throw all caution into the wind and attack.

A win will be fine. Score doesn't matter.

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

The Niners are not who some of you think they are....They aren't that good:

[xjx]

49ers 31
Steelers 20

 

[Aussie_Steeler]

The 49'ers lose the 40 on the way to the Stadium, and lose the game 20-9.
