Steelers vs 49ers Espn InGame!

[TheAntFather]

I went big on the Under.

[hels]

49ers still not impressing me. Their offense can only kick FG's, and their defense is doing good, but against a team with a banged up QB. If Ben were playing, I think the Steelers would easily win.

You're right, if Ben could move and be more accurate with his throws (not improvising because of a busted ankle) this could easily be 10-6 at half.

BigBen is a

Wouldn't mind to see a nice 2 minute drill here by the Steelers. They need some momentum going into half time.

niners will get a few tds before its all said and done. niners D not even playing up to their potential right now. too many missed tackles. tomlin should just take big ben out and save him for the playoffs because steelers dont stand a chance tonight. why risk further injury in a game they cant win?

[hels]

Sweet Jesus 49ers D. You give up a 20 yard run from their own 5?

[starfire]

Sf can't tackle!
Put me in @ saftey

[birdman24]

Niners can't score TD's Steelers will win!!!!

Very nice playing by Big Ben's offense so far this drive.

How do they not stand a chance, they are within a TD on the road going into half time. Most teams would love to be within a TD going into halftime on the road against a playoff team.

Not sure if you know, but the score is 6-0.

[hels]

They're only going for a field goal though

[TheAntFather]

I would make a live bet Under 29 on this game.

[TheAntFather]

Please don't score Steelers.

[hels]

LOL, lose yards... good job roethlisberger

the way big ben is just standning in the pocket making quick throws wont cut it. he cant extend plays like he usually does every other wk.

[KingJD31]

this be huge if they dont score here..............what a killer a td would be

[hels]

Why wouldn't you try to kick this??? Your kicker can't hit 55 yards?

[hels]

Wow, no trust in the kicker

[hangtime]

shut out brewing!

[starfire]

Sf stop

[Speedy88]

Why try if you know that your kicker can't kick 55 yards. Better off just throwing a hail mary. If anything, Pitt needs to get a new kicker. Your kicker should be able to give a 55 yarder a try.

[TheAntFather]

Looks like the Steelers don't want to win.

[hels]

Awful decision. I don't care if 55 is the longest ever in Candlestick. If you hit it 1/5 times it's still better odds than a td in this situation which is probably 1/50 at best.

I'm on the Under so I'm happy... I'm just trying to add some logical football conversation.

[KingJD31]

big win on the under

55 yards should not be a difficult number for an NFL kicker. I'm saying this in terms of yardage and not 'aim' towards the uprights.

Imagine if your kick off kicker could only kick 55 yards? You see what I'm trying to say here. He should have the range. If you can't kick it through 20% of the time at 55 yards then it's a miracle you made the roster.

[hels]

big win on the under

It seemed much too easy!!

[Balco10]

Never has happened at Candlestick. Ben is done!

[Sambooka]

Denver kicked 59 yards against the Bears 2 weeks ago

[ebbearsfb1]

all in 49ers 2nd half

[hels]

MNF and they waste 5 minutes with Dwayne Wade.

[ebbearsfb1]

Denver kicked 59 yards against the Bears 2 weeks ago

that was in different... different element

[hels]

I was wrong with 2nd half OU being 19.5-20.5. At 17.5 would indicate Over -- I wish I had statistics when 2nd half were 17.5, 21.5, 24.5 (all common numbers before the .5) and how often they are over. It's common sense thinking to see 17.5 and think, 'well that means we'll need at least 4 scores (assuming a field goal) so it should go under. Most of the time when it's these numbers it goes Over somehow.

[SportsPedagogy]

This is why they didnt kick it

4047 A FG made over 43½ yards -155*

[hels]

Seemed like a shorter half time Let 2nd half bbegin!!
