The Steelers took over, ran out the clock and handed San Francisco its first loss when Kaepernick has thrown for more than 300 yards. We’ve got to continue to get it going. They also had 27 first downs, to Pittsburgh’s 21.
DeAngelo Williams became the first Steeler to rush for three TDs in a game since 2008 and the Steelers used a quick-strike offence, netting 453 yards – and they did it despite missing All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Martavis Bryant.
It already looked pretty.
That was certainly not the case against the 49ers. Williams had little room to run against a defense that held Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson to 31 yards on 10 carries last week, but he was able to shake free once the 49ers had to back off the line of scrimmage to protect against Roethlisberger. Heavy… heavy.com/…/watch-49ers-vs-steelers-live-stream-online-mobile-nfl-foot… 4 hours ago – Big Ben and the Steelers look to defend Heinz Field when the 49ers come to town for an inter-conference matchup.
Tomsula, from the Pittsburgh suburb of Homestead, joked with reporters this week about the area’s finer dining establishments.
This all will be decided over the rest of this season, and not by their raucous opener or this defensive collapse against the Steelers. San Fran had a lot more time to prepare for the Vikings and Roethlisberger will lead Pittsburgh to a nice win.
Linebacker Ryan Shazier had a game for the ages, including 15 tackles, three for a loss, and one sack.
The San Francisco 49ers have been best known for their chocking defense, posting a top-five defense in each of the last four National Football League seasons. Running back Carlos Hyde left the game with what appeared to be a head injury but later returned. The 49ers averaged 5.8 yards in that category and again had trouble scoring in the red zone. Only once did they score. As noted by Tunch Ilkin on the Steelers radio broadcast, any football fan doesn’t need a rule book to know what those plays were but somehow the NFL has redefined the game in the past five years as part of its ongoing efforts to destroy its vast popularity. He did not return to action, and Tomsula said he will be evaluated on Monday. They do a wonderful job of creating. There’s optimism for the Kaepernick and receiving corp play and how they managed to get Vernon Davis involved at times. Cam Heyward was a beast, getting a sack, forcing another and stuffing two runs for losses. Pittsburgh pursuit busted a screen. @EnJoY@@~~San Francisco 49ers vs Pittsburgh Steelers… www.gameinformer.com ›…
The frustration was evident on Tomsula’s face as the third quarter wore down. Seventeen plays – no points. GAMEDAy*San Francisco 49ers vs Pittsburgh Steelers*Live… orcid.org/0000-0003-4993-355X 37 mins ago – GAMEDAy*San Francisco 49ers vs Pittsburgh Steelers*Live Stream-20.09.2015.
It was all over but the group hugs at midfield.
Cardinals may be the emerging front-runner in the NFC West. “As a team, I don’t think we harp on the old”. And finally the Vikings are hosting the Lions in what’s predicted to be a tight match.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford was whacked like a pinata; so battered that X-rays were taken of his chest and ribs.
The 49ers defense boarded a plane to fly back to California not knowing what hit them. I feel I won some battles, lost some battles. Stafford was shoved into the brick wall that surrounds the playing surface in the first half.
The Lions have been problems protecting Stafford, who also injured his arm in the opening game of the season. “We’ve got to keep going”.
Colin Kaepernick threw for 335 yards and two scores.
We will see if any of this is fixed Sunday, and then the week after that and the week after that and the week after that.
