Hilton is very good, as is Sutton. The Steeler defense, even with missing pieces, is going to be tough. Heyward, Tuitt, Alamulu (ex Jags 1st rounder) have been playing great in their front 3. Then Watt is a beast, and in the secondary Nelson is good and Minkah is outstanding. I think someone mentioned the "empty sets" against the Steelers, and agree thats a great plan. Forces them out of some of their exotic blitzes, ie: middle lb and corner blitzes (which they use alot with Hilton), and more into a straight 4 man rush/stunts. Tomlin isn't shy about sending 5 or even 6 against empty tho either, especially if we pick them part with a 4 man rush...he isn't going to set back and let teams drive the field, he's super aggressive almost an opposite of Frazier. Like Wash did last week, need to take advantage of some quick passing, then make them pay on the blitzes with occasional deep shots or YAC. This is a game I wouldn't mind seeing Yeldon active for, as that is another area to attack them with. Now all that said, Haden and Spillane being out is HUGE. Haden has come alive and been a lockdown corner for them, and Spillane has been a big surprise filling in for Bush (he's been a very reliable cover LB). Then with Vince Williams out (who is their thumper, and typical MLB blitzer), this could be a much more conservative defense look to at least start the game

Daryll Johnson made a real good ST play on a kickoff, and had a very important tfl (-9) on a toss sweep, that led to only a fg. Great all around game

Josh was a Top 10 Qb to Bills fans before this game, but that just put him on the national map....awesome game!

Maybe because he's missed so much gametime. He needs reps, even if they come in the last few min of a game

Tre is a beast. Where was everyone saying he took a step back? 49ers maybe thrown his direction a handful of times, he is an all pro player and person off the field

Lets go ESPN pregame team....shut your mouths about right now....Except for Booger, credit to him for being smart

4th qtr....time to start playaction passing and get some quick yards...then mix up the jet sweep to Isiah

Well don't believe it then, but he has a helmet on and standing behind coach. Fumble at your 1 and you get benched

Moss is standing on the sideline behind coach the past few series...I think it has to do more with the fumble

Huge answer!!!! Any update on Feliciano?

Big stop, answer those points right now

Helluva drive there! That was a statement drive. 3rd qtr, time for defense to step up

Defense is seriously due for a splash play

Great block Diggs! Awesome aggressiveness, pays off this time...2 fgs or 1 td, I'll take it. Rambo stepping up

there is the Sherman penalty...all night

Great answer. Now shut down those 1st/2nd down runs, short passes. Get Mullens in 3rd and long and tee off

Ok, time to reset. 1 td, jitters out. Get tough now

That PI on Wallace better be called both ways, Shrman grabs all night

Agree on all of that

yes tonight

Espn jumping on the 49ers.....time to get fired up! . Shove this crap down their throat and let's freaking go

Steelers getting banged up, Haden and Spillane (who had been filling in real well at LB for Bush)

Yes, looks like a wrist or arm

Vegas has some huge infatuation with the 49ers and Shanahan making a run to the playoffs. Time to play with some attitude and shove that disrespect right back

Any Milano/Dodson update?
