^ About the irony of a blackout in a stadium with that name, or about the actual game?
 
Come on Axel....the one time i root for your boys....and theyre letting me down....

Oh hey Pander......Brees is gonna break the record next monday....no better setting than in the dome on monday night against the dirty turds.....theyre probably gonna reply that 2006 post katrina reopening game all damn week....yall are there for all of our pinacle team milestones.....glad you can join us for another
 
just an ugly game, man. way too many injuries. and I hate to be that guy that complains about the refs, but I did see tons of questionable calls (on both sides, albeit). do these refs not know how to successfully call a chop-block penalty? and that penalty of excessive jumping or whatever to re-neg that SF FG attempt and into then an SF TD was such bullshit

ugly, ugly, ugly

how often to you listen to that 'here we go, steelers, pittsburgh's goin to the superbowl' song?

weekly, when in season. I have a whole cavalcade of Steelers songs that I like to listen to for the Pre-Game, like Styx, Wiz Khalifa, that song, etc etc

plus, "Pittsburgh's goin' to the Suu-uuper Bowl" has a nice ring to it, no?
 
horrible calls to see made by a professional ref. btw - it looks like I will be reffing Ohio high school games in a year or so, so I try to stay on top of the rule book
 
The leaping call was bullshit, but you have to admit the 49ers dominated the Steelers tonight. The only points the Steelers got were on a 51 yard field goal and you were -4 on turnovers. And what about my boy Aldon Smith coming to play tonight. 13 sacks on the season, all time franchise record for a rookie. I think the Steelers had 1 red zone opportunity all game and they turned it over.

And still no 100 yard rushers and no rushing touchdowns this year. Never been done before.

Steelers had a chance to take the #1 seed in the AFC, and got stomped by the niners who maintain the #2 seed in the AFC with 2 games to go. Today was s good day
 
yeah, congrats. there was no doubt in my mind that yours were the better team tonight. instead of playing Steelers footbaw, my team played 49ers footbaw (coincidentally both styles are very similar)

however, my team is very very banged up. there is no denying that. despite it all, I did think that my team could pull it off

I hope I do see you and yours in a month or so ;) but for now, I will have to regress and depress towards hating on China Rider for a whole week. thankfully, he doesn't make that one very Herculean task

Justin Smith is a very good Defensive End
 
if rams score a touch down you have to let me wipe my ass with your terrible towel

just letting you know, bro
 
Yes Justin Smith is a beast, we got all kinds of Smiths.

I will be cheering for Atlanta next week.

not if you read the rules:
the nfl rules said:
LEAPING
(r) Clearly running forward and leaping in an obvious attempt to block a field goal, or Try-kick after
touchdown and landing on players, unless the leaping player was originally lined up within one yard of
the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped.

but it's irrelevant as the steelers were down 14 points at that point and showing no signs of coming back.
Care said:

they certainly did.

the vaunted steelers defense gave up 20 points and had no sacks and no interceptions. meanwhile the stud 49ers defense allowed only 3 points, had 3 sacks, 3 interceptions and one fumble recovery.

the "best wr corp. in football" couldn't score a touchdown! the steelers were completely dominated on both sides of the ball and looked thoroughly ordinary. the steelers had the chance to grab the #1 seed and now they're looking like #5 again...

i distinctly recall that game when chickenscratch tried to tell me the falcons would win because the visitors always win by three points. i was like, well, there certainly have been times when you havent.
 
Ryan Clark calls power outage a "Conspiracy"

The Pittsburgh Steelers safety told the San Francisco Chronicle that he believed Monday night's double power outage was planned by civic leaders or team officials to highlight the inadequacy of the 51-year-old stadium. Earlier this week, Santa Clara's city council endorsed a deal to approve funds for a new stadium, provided the NFL contributes at least $150 million.
"I just feel like San Francisco took a big stage to show the NFL and to show the state of California that they needed a new stadium," said Clark, who is also probably a big fan of those moon landing hoax specials on the Discovery Channel. "I think it was a very strategic move and Candlestick may be no more very soon."

Stay classy Pittsburgh.

Yea, all while missing the keystone of their defense, Patrick Willis.
 
49ers O-line should get a lot of credit for last night after giving up 18 sacks in the 3 games previous. Good win, good performance but also hard to judge. Their D is great but it's clear for everyone to see Roethlisberger shouldn't have been playing. Willis isnt going to missed when the QB can barely stand on his left foot. Was he even 30% fit? I doubt it. His greatest qualities of being able to roll left/right and keep plays alive was nullified. Theres no point talking shit about the WR's. 49ers have given up big plays in the games they've lost.

Andy Lee had a great game too and Alex Smith was solid. He might not be that high on the TD list but if he stays 31st on the interception list, with a great D and a good running game they will be dangerous.
 
Roflburgers has a history of excelling when he is injured. Obviously this was a pretty bad injury, but still you have to give credit to the 49ers D for shutting down the Steelers offense.

And yea im aware that the leaping call was the right call "by the rules" but I still disagree with it. I also disagree with a 5 yard chop block penalty giving the steelers a first down after it would have been like 3rd and 35. Oh well they shut them down on the next set of downs.
 
the best part of the game last night was the dead tunes going into and out of commercials.

wave your freak flag, san fran.
 
Ali - you must not have been watching the game. while I understand that rule, even Care pointed out that call was bullshit. the Steeler in question just didn't use any player as an object to leap up with. I understand not all here has such a firm grasp on the rules of footbaw as me, but damn ;)

and is a New England fan really giving a Pittsburgh fan shit about defense? something is just not right here, specially when the Steelers only gave up 20 points (if Big Ben were healthy, I do believe we could've scored around or over 20 points). but the Steelers were without two Pro Bowl defenders in Harrison and Woodley (there goes the pass rush that Alex Smith historically chokes against) and Troy Polamalu wasn't healthy either

give it a break man, those are three Pro-Bowl players!

did anybody else see James Harrison's hilarious tweet during the power outage?

he proclaimed on his Twitter after the technical difficulties of Candlestick Park that if he couldn't play, then nobody was going to be able to play! <3
