:49ers: NFL

I was surprised at how well the Niners played vs the Steelers to win 30-7.

The Niner's D dominated the Steeler's O in a way that was not evident in pre-season & the Steelers might not have scord their lone TD but for 2 defensive penalties on Lenoir -- 1 for hitting a receiver late out of bounds and the other for early contact on another receiver.

The other reason for the Niner's win was a VAST improvement in the O-line.

It wasn't perfect but Purdy had enough time to throw most of the time and most of his throws were right on the mark. The O-line also contributed to McC's runs, including his 65 yd TD.

However, Purdy was hit a couple times while in the act of throwing, which is how he got hurt last year, so the OL still needs work,

Moody apparently was able to get over his preseason "yips" & hit all of PATs and FGs attempted. Even the punter Wishnowsky improved the distance on his punts by 10 yrds over preseason.

So, the team looks good but there's still work to do to get better.

Without those big penalties on Lenoir, would be having a shutout.

BTW, if you're out of network (so can't follow your favorite team), you can subscribe to NFL+ for $6 or so per month and listen to home radio feed. (That's what we do.)

:49ers:

"Can Brock Purdy make the 49ersā€™ Super Bowl dreams a reality?"

I hope so but it's a team game and, like last year, he can't do it on his own.

@bplein Streaming on Peacock, I believe.

Iā€™m going to have a similar situation this weekend. DIRECTV hasnā€™t settled their differences with my local Fox stationā€™s owner, so I wonā€™t be able to watch . Thinking of dropping DIRECTV in favor of Fubo or something.

@MaioccoNBCS

Agreed. WTF is taking so long???

And, even if Bosa signs by tomorrow, will he be game ready to play next weekend???

Has he been practicing anywhere other than in the wt room??? And pads on practice anywhere?

If not, because of this and other glaring problems (like, who's the kicker and have they fixed the holes in the O-line?), I'm picking the Steelers by at least 7 this coming weekend.

@MaioccoNBCS

That's why I'm worried for the Niners in their 1st game vs the Steelers.

There are too many open questions, including:

Who's going to be the kicker? and . . .

Where is Bosa???

If I were to bet on it, based on what I've seen of the Niners so far, I'd take the Steelers in Game #1.
