That's what the panthers said about the Broncos. Too soon to talk you guys

Interesting stat: Gurley averaged 2.5 less ypc (3.9) final 8 games started of 2015 than he did his first 4 games (6.4), pretty big difference.

Well this could get interesting:

Matt Barrows ‏@mattbarrows
Anthony Davis' absence described to me as a personal matter. He's listed as questionable. Is team's starter at RG, backup at both T spots.

Matt Maiocco ‏@MaioccoCSN
Agent Drew Rosenhaus, who represents #49ers RG Anthony Davis, said he has no comment at this time.

Oh no. Expect him to be gone for the year.

Shame on them for thinking the SB champs playing at home would be easy

I'm hearing that Andrew Tiller will start at RG for #49ers -- not Joshua Garnett -- if Anthony Davis indeed retiring, as I earlier reported

He's prolly trying to get payback for baalke. Hopefully he dishes all the dirt at the very least if he in fact does go the retirement route.

Problem is all the dirt is on Davis not Baalke. Davis needs competent mental health help.

Dude you really should work for a campaign. Your ability to spin things into one particular view is just damn masterful.

Lambs punter >>> ours

Our D-Line is not better than theirs. They have arguably the best DT in football in Aaron Donald. A top 10, if not top 5 pass rusher in Robert Quinn and a very solid DT in Brockers.

I'm not comparing their Dline to our Dline since neither will battle each other on the field. I do expect our [much improved] Oline to do much better than they did against them last season, and I do believe our Oline will do well enough vs their Dline to give our offense enough chances to score / win.

the rams have a top 2 DL in nfl

maybe the best in nfl and its very hard to debate that they dont

I am not debating that and I am well aware of that. However, I am giving our Oline that much credit since I do feel they will match up, compete, fare well enough to score and possibly be a key reason why we will win.

AND - it makes their Secondary better as a result.

True. Still though, I believe our DBs are better since their DBs need mostly to depend on their front more so than we may (imo).

Yeah Carolina is in the conversation with them but the Rams have one heck of a dline. I'm looking forward to seeing how the interior of our oline is able to handle Donald. They are getting battle tested right out of the gate.

I've said for two weeks now. The key to matching the rams aggressive style of attacking on defense is to hit those quick passes efficiently and getting your screen game going. If you can't their dline will make you pay for it all game.

Kilgore is licking his chops... he was embarassed enough and that will elevate the motivation, and besides, he is healthy / has improved (will be a doozy).

You're right and we gotta believe the coaches know that... the key is to execute (hopefully Gab can connect).

MIN and STL are very similar b
