Yeah, prevent defense relies on the DB's to cover - our DB squad is still a work in progress.

Harris' big run, the penalties, the two near missed deflections

its not that simple of just "prevent defense sucks"

Pittsburgh has a lot of momentum now and their defensive line mainly watt is getting too Purdy now

WE need some roll outs... we need some screen... 44 once again continues to be ignored by our OC !!

Checking in. Did I hear that right??? With this D, our s—t for brain's coordinator went into prevent? No wonder he's only had one top 20 D. Jeezlus

Gotta run the ball!!

It's been a good game for the most part, but when you go conservative, that's what happens. We've basically handed the steelers a lifetime.

Still happy with how things have played out thus far, but I'd like to see the 9ers go for the kill in the 2nd half.

Let's finish the job.

Niners had a 1st down with 2 minutes left and Steelers with no timeouts and somehow Steelers got the ball back with 1:30 remaining.

Refs called an illegal motion penalty on Deebo. It went downhill from there.

We just pissed away a great half. Steelers settled and we are sloppy and making boneheaded plays and decisions. Our defense does this way too much. They just fall apart.

Can't be a Niner game without drama. Need a scoring drive to shift momentum.

Our fans have unrealistic standards. If it's not perfect it's the worst game ever played.

Just seen this before. Our openers seem to follow this same script every year.

Arizona in 20' - we're controlling the game and get sloppy and we let them back into it and lose.
Detroit in 21' - we're controlling the game, up big, and get sloppy and we let them back into it and hold on to win.
Chicago in 22' - we're controlling the game and get sloppy we let them back into it and lose.
Pittsburgh in 23' - we're controlling the game and get sloppy and we let them back into it…

It feels like a trend.

Should have kicked the goddamn field goal

Cornerback is our weak point. We were ranked 20th against the pass last season and we have definitely downgraded with the loss of EMan and Ward.

Ambry and Lenoir will not cut it when teams become pass happy and we're playing Dime
