The Niners look like a pretty formidable group

Purdy with the butt fumble recovery.

Hung on to the (gluteus) maximus.

 

[Weadoption]

Steelers trying to tire out the Niners offense.
could work

 

[James in PA]

Pickett is garbage!

 

[James in PA]

And why do people watch and enjoy shows like the masked singer? Bunch of morons in this country!

 

[rjdriver]

Pickett is garbage!

Don't be too hard on him, he does have 1 yard in only 25 minutes of play.

 

[FlyingGunHawk]

The Steelers have 0 first downs. Yikes.

 

[Dvl Dug]

IDK.. Purdy looks a little pedestrian.. no, they look good, what a pickup Purdy has been.

Purdy just amazes me! All the high dollar scouts passed on this guy?

Either the Steelers are terrible or the 49ers are going to the Super Bowl.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Now Pittsburgh sucks. Half the analysts picked the Steelers to win. Pickett had a 158.3 Qbr in the preseason . Find another excuse . Seahawks will find out

Pissburgh is a “legacy team” of course some idiots were going to pick them.

 

[Dvl Dug]

Either the Steelers are terrible or the 49ers are going to the Super Bowl.

A bit of both perhaps.
Suddenly, I'm not liking the Hawk's chances for anything more than a Wild Card.

Lots of DB talent, but most of those DB's seem to be assigned to unusual positions. I call that a waste of talent.

It’s week one.
This reminds me of a Dallas Cowboy fan I used to work with that same thing, the cowboys were going to the super bowl every year after their first win. They didn’t.

Niners are good, Stealers are trash.

Heyward going out hurts the Stealers D a lot. Pittsburgh may look bad all season, but that doesn't necessarily mean the 9rs will look this good. They don't have superstar depth behind Bosa, McCaffrey, Purdy.... It's a long season and every team will look different in week 12.

...and look, maybe Stealers will have a 1st down by the half...??? Or maybe not.

 

[LastRideOut]

It's the first week. We'll know who the good teams by mid-season.


Week 1 does tend to have surprise games.

Settle down everyone. Don't be such bedwetters. The Seahawks can play these guys.

 

[Wheetie]

Either the Steelers are terrible or the 49ers are going to the Super Bowl.

Couldn't agree more! I was just going to post this same thing, but I decided not to fearing the risk of being called over dramatic! Either the 9'ers are world beaters or the Steelers are absolute bottom feeders, there is no middle ground here

 

[BigBill1945]

In watching this when Pitt is able to pressure Purdy he becomes more ordinary. Watch the NFC Championship film from last year as further evidence of this.

 

[FlyingGunHawk]

Why are Steeler fans booing that hit? it was clean. I guess they have a reason to boo given this performance.

 

[Mizak]

Damn, Stealers got some favorable calls on that drive.

 

[Bobblehead]

12/14 137 2TD . Pedestrian

FFS he's missed two passes

 

[FlyingGunHawk]

FFS he's missed two passes

Just turrible.

You’re playing the Steelers. The Hawks are going to light your asses up.
