The 49ers and Ravens have six common opponents this year.

SF is +69 in those games. BAL is +83.

Since each team acquired Sanders/Peters.

SF is +77. Bal is +140.

The Patriots are widely considered the other "top" team in the NFL. In those five games they are +13.

Oh noez. The niners are better off forfeiting the game

At least we will come out healthy with no injuries.

Ravens offense beaten up on teams with average dline. Niners dline is the motherf**king gaunlet

We only control our own destiny if that 1 win is against the Saints.

I don't care if we lose. But if we're going to lose make Jackson throw for 400 yards and keep him from running the damn ball for explosive plays and 3rd down conversions. If he picks apart the secondary and beats us through the air I'll just tip my cap and adjust if we are fortunate enough to play them again in the SB.

Gotta contain this dude. Best way is to keep him off the field and run the ball ourselves and eat up clock. Shorten the game and limit his possessions.

Wow Matt Skura is out, that's a huge blow at the worst moment for them! Their rushing attack will suffer for sure.

We may have a chance now.

Quite frankly we are more likely to win vs the Saints and match up better against them.

With this game we can take chances and try some unique ways to slow down their run option.

Its not a game we desperately need so if we do lose, we just regroup and try to win out the rest of the year.

Try to see what works if we do meet again.

The 10-1 team that should've been 11-0 has a chance against the Ravens because they lost their C. Good to know.

I sure hope this isn't the team's actual mentality lol

Agree.

No early start. no weather excuses. the weather is the same for both

Baltimore if more of straight run ahead team we're more of going sideways then cut. It's that cut that I'm a bit worried about when the field is wet and slippery. As for the pass it does affect both teams equally, but the difference is that Lamar Jackson has some speed to him and if he gets out of the pocket, he can get chunks of unscheduled run yardage. ie. he can convert a pass play to a run play better than jimmy can if the wind all of a sudden gusts or the rain starts to downpour heavily.

I think the weather will be a factor and so will home field advantage. I hope we use the weather to help us more than hurt us. I.e. if the field is slick, hope Kyle calls some nice comeback routes to help make the db's slip on the cuts.

Ravens came out hot vs. the Patriots because NE had a hard time adjusting to their speed. Once they adjusted after the first couple drives...it was a game. But the damage was done.

Need to be ready to match their speed from the very first play. A slow start will kill the Niners.

You can do that vs. the Cardinals. Not the Ravens.

lol

Records mean nothing when it comes to match ups, the game still has to be played. You can't tell me this doesn't help the Niners.

Imagine if we lost Weston Richburg for the season? That would be a devastating blow.

Have you seen this team fight on the field? Does kittle strike you as a guy that will lay down and kiss the ravens record?
I don't think enough is being said about the toughness and desire of these guys.
I mean except for Jimmy of course. Everyone knows he has no dog in him.
