LOL. I started Kap, while my opponent has Big Ben. Surprisingly, Kap is keeping it close with Big Ben.

In my league, only 7 point difference between Big Ben and Kap. Still happy for Kap. He played a really good game overall

I know it sucks to lose like this but we weren't going to go 16-0 and this was a tough game to win from the start of the game. Lets hope we bounce back and beat Arizona.

Positives about this was Kap. He played good. No one else did.

LOL, I think our DB's are going to have nightmares about AB tonight.

Montalban does bring up some interesting points. Even with this loss, I think he would cut Kaep some slack.

We definitely moved the ball. We just had some drive killing drops and penalties.

And Pears was the worst on the oline

You must be new, and not a vet of the Disney days...

Looking back on secondary play. Any thoughts? Was it bad man for man play? I thought there were a number of issues with zone play between corners and safeties. Also there were some bad matchups. Wilhoite in coverage on a WR? How does that happen.

It looked like men against boys with their receivers constantly beating our DB's. I'll just trust that our coaching staff will get things corrected before the next game.

Brown was beating our DBs all game, but Big Ben was putting great touch on his throws, catching him stride every time.

Kaep looked great, but his touch still needs a lot of work and he was not leading his receivers very well.

Sometimes they beat us man. Sometimes it seemed like the DB was expecting safety help that wasn't there.

Meh.....a little worse than I expected but not surprising. I knew our defense was bad but I didn't think they were this bad. The offense is as inept as advertised but I expected about a 31 to 10 game or so.
It was a perfect storm for the Steelers. You had to know that Pittsburgh had the decided edge in coaching, the decided edge in talent, was playing at home and had 10 days to rest and prepare while the 49ers were on a short week and traveling cross country so I'm not too surpised at the outcome.

What are everyone's thoughts on VD so far? He's playing better than last year, but it seems he still doesn't think about ball security enough. On that one sideline play, he simply assumed that a defender was not going to hit him. He should've had two hands on the ball on that play.

Played in a golf tournament today so didn't watch the game. Sounds like it was a good thing I didn't. A little worse than I expected but not surprising.

 

[Montalban]

He's stepped up in the pocket and made a number of good throws today. At least we have that positive.

Still though, not a single touchdown till the game was over. I did notice last week that he threw a couple of times to a secondary receiver but still refused to throw in the middle inside the red zone. Any change to that today?

He threw a TD to Miller who dropped an easy pass in the end zone. Three easy drops on one drive
