STEELERS at the STICK..49ERS on MNF...Will BIG BEN play YES because RAVENS Lost...and the 49ERS need another MEASURING STICK.

HERE WE GO STEEEELERS....HERE WE GO CLAP CLAP....you know the DRILL now everything is in front of us and IF we WIN out we will be the #1 SEED in the AFC because we beat the PATRIOTS already.

But enough is enough as We LOSE TWIN at CENTER, NO WOODLEY, and now from reports from the BAY..BIG BEN would play if the RAVENS LOST. WHAT HAPPENED in SUNDAY NIGHT Football...the RAVENS lost and BIG BEN is suiting up.

What's this mean for the 49ERS Secondary...you better be ready because we PASS FIRST and SECOND and have a SPRINKLE of the RUN. I just can't wait to see being close to the HOLIDAYS how many STEELER FANS will be at the STCIk for this one...WE REPRESENT EVERYWHERE.

As for the 49ERS they have looked average at best the last couple of weeks because TAPES of what you are DOING get out quickly and TEAM adjust this is the NFL not POP WARNER or your Local High School. So QB Alex SMITH and the OFFENSE had trouble with the ARIZONA CARDINALS BLITZ PACKAGES and they are not even half of that vaunted 3-4 ZONE BLITZ from the MASTER in Coach LeBEAU....so LINE-UP and let's see.

The VITALS.....for MONDAY's MARQUEE MATCH-UP

STEELERS 10-3 and as of right now AFC SEED TBD with RAVENS Loss to BOLTS last night and STEELERS want the #1 SEED in the AFC

49ERS 10-3 and they have lost 2 of 3 but have clinched the DIVISION already they need a TOP 2 SEEDS in the NFC with the SAINTS lurking

TALE of the TAPE STEEL CITY vs GOLD RUSH on MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

OFFENSE

STEELERS
21.7 ppg (19th) 371.6 YDS (12th) 257.1 PASS YDS (8th) 114.5 RUSH YDS (17th)

49ERS
23.6 ppg (14th) 309 YDS (25th) 182.1 PASS YDS (29th) 126.9 RUSH YDS (8th)

DEFENSE

STEELERS
15.2 (2nd) 276.1 TOTAL Yds (1st) 179.1 PASS YDS (1st) 97 RUSH YDS (6th)

49ERS
14 (1st) 305.1 TOTAL Yds (4th) 234.5 PASS YDS (19th) 70.5 RUSH YDS (1st)

As you see the NUMBERS that really jump at you is on the DEFENSIVE SIDE of the BALL....the STEELERS are #1 in TOTAL YARDS and PASS YARDS per outing. The NINERS are #1 in POINTS and RUSH YARDS pre GAME which tells you POINTS will be hard to come by and if yo get into the REDZONE....they have to be 7's.

THE SKINNY.......the STEELERS know now that the GAME they gave the RAVENS on that last second TD is for not if they can BEAT THE 49ERS and get back the #1 SEED in the AFC. That is HUGE considering NO ONE wants to see the STEELERS let alone at the BIG KETCHUP BOTTLE.

The 49ERS have already clinched their DIVISION but do they want a ROAD GAME at the SUPERDOME...REAL TALK. The STAKES are HIGH for them as well as being as inexperienced as they are at KEY POSITIONS they need some HOME COOKING.

WINNER: TOO MUCH STEELERS as Coach Mike TOMLIN is 6-0 WHEN the LIGHTS are BRIGHTEST on MNF....STEELERS 27-13

NOTE: the STEELERS and COACH mike TOMLIN are 0-2 vs the other HARBAUGH in CHARM CITY so going 0-3 vs the HARBAUGH's for 2011 is not a GOOD LOOK for anyone in the STEEL CITY.

INJURY REPORT

STEELERS
OUT Chris CARTER LB, Maurkice PONCEY C, Emmanuel SANDERS WR
QUESTIONABLE Arnaz BATTLE WR, Curtis BROWN CB, BIG BEN QB
PROBABLE Marcus GILBERT T, Troy POLAMALU S

49ERS
QUESTIONABLE Patrick WILLIS LB, Braylon EDWARDS WR, Bruce MILLER RB, Joe STALEY T

WILLIS probably is a NO GO because it is a HAMSTRING and they need him in WINNING TIME
