What a great way to start the Jim Harbaugh era in San Francisco!! I watched the game at Legends with the Utah Niner Empire. It was a lot of fun. The place went nuts for the back to back KR and PR TDs from Ginn. It sure feels good to finally have a head coach who actually knows how to coach.
Your point? I don't care about any of that right now. I'm going to enjoy this win, and the fact that my team no longer has an idiot of a head coach. Things will only get better from here. Jim Harbaugh is a smart head coach, and he is going to return this team to glory. Will it be this year? Probably not, but you never know. For the first time in years, I feel really good about the future of this team.You beat a God awful Seahawks team at home, an opponent who was down just two points with about five minutes left, and you needed two special teams TD's to do it.
Who was Rob Ryan swearing at the end of the game?
Pittsburg was manhandled by Green Bay in last years Super Bowl
Wasn't planning on replying to this but what Superbowl did you watch last year? Just curious?
The one that ended 31-25 or another?
Total Yards
Pittsburgh - 387
Green Bay - 338
Turnovers
Pittsburgh - 3
Green Bay - 0
If it wasn't for Mendenhall fumbling (I know I'm playing the what if...) its a different game. REMEMBER the Steelers closed it to 28-25 Green Bay with 3 turnovers vs. 0 - Green Bay got the ball back with 7:34 left in the 4th up by only 3at that point. They put together a good drive (31 yard completion on 3rd and 10, 21 yard pass on 2nd and 9) and took time off the clock. They kicked their FG but the Steelers still had a chance to win the ball game on the last drive with 2+ Minutes left in the game.
I would far from say they were MANHANDLED...
If you want to see someone get MANHANDLED please watch a copy of yesterdays game Steelers vs. Ravens - 7 turnovers and 0 aggression.. that was getting MANHANDLED.
I was just thinking about this today. Is Manning the best QB ever to play the game? I think a strong case could be made that he is. With Manning the Colts are Playoff bound and possible Superbowl contenders. Without Manning they are getting blown out by a slightly above average team. With Manning, Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie put up Pro Bowl worthy numbers. Without him they are exposed as decent, but unremarkable wide receivers. Manning is 100% responsible for the success of the offenses he runs. Brady (while a great QB) and others benefit from working with excellent coaching staffs.
Manning may be the best I've ever seen. Take Tom Brady off the Patriots and they win 9-10 games. Take Manning off the Colts and you're looking at drafting Andrew Luck.
They looked like the worst team in the league last night.

This is hysterical. People LOOOOOVED Singletary at first. Disciplined. Holding player's responsible. Demanding more from them. And then when they continued to suck, they hated him and he was an idiot. Harbaugh may be good, he may be great or he may crash and burn. You, I, and everyone else has zero idea of how good he'll be. If I had to bet, I'd say he'll be mediocre. The 49ers haven't been relevant in a long, long time, have ****ty personnel, play in a division with a likely very good qb in Bradford whose coached by a very good coordinator and both of whom are under a very good defensive-minded head coach, an opponent in Seattle who has great home field advantage, and another in the Cards who has a head coach who's already led his team to a Super Bowl. San Fran has none of this. The head coach is a question mark until truly proven otherwise. They have no great home field advantage. They have no great or even good qb. Their weapons are mediocre at best though I think the rookie running back Carter (?) could be a steal. They lack a lot and the fact that you claim he'll be great after a close win against a crap team is silly. You or I have no idea how he'll be.
But congrats on the win and keep drinking the Kool-Aid.
Take Tom Brady off the Patriots and they win 9-10 games. Take Manning off the Colts and you're looking at drafting Andrew Luck.
I don't know Brady looked pretty special tonight
Matt Cassel.
It's no insult to Brady to say he's not as good or as important as Peyton Manning.
