49ERS vs RAVENS Pregame Thread - 2023 Season Week 16

This battle will determine game flow. It won't necessarily determine the final score, because the 49ers are so explosive offensively, but Baltimore maintaining the advantage here can put SF in choppy waters

Let's hope we get better at tackling and get Armstead and Hargrave back. If the D looks like last week, we'll probably lose.

Rams was the closest offense to us that they played. Rams put up 30+ on them.

It would be nice for Brock to win it but honestly I just care about him winning SB MVP(or any 49er winning it)

Brock will have an excellent chance to put another feather in his MVP chance cap by playing well vs the #1 defense in the Ravens.

Lamar will obviously have his chance as well…hopefully Brock and/or CMC are the ones taking advantage of the challenge in front of them.

Also Brock and CMC splitting votes for each other is a good thing for the team. If both are in talks for it every week…we're doing pretty good.

Let's win Monday night. Then end the season with a win.

True, and LA piled up over 130 yards on the ground, if we can get the ground game going early I think the offense cruises. The question will be the run D, and our defense tends to show up on the big stage. Niners are on a nuclear heater right now, it'll be difficult for anyone to stop them

Yes sir, this is a game where CMC and Deebo will probably do more damage on the ground than in the air. But they both will still get their receiving yardage, for sure.

I hope deebo does damage through the air to try and get 1k

It would be nice to have three 1,000 yard recievers for sure. I'd like to have #6🏆 even more! I'm a greedy SOB lets have *both!*

Yup, that's my take on this game also.

I didn't even realize niners are 18th vs the run. That last game must've dropped them a few spots.

they gotta fix that asap, gotta have a top tier run d in the playoffs

What was our run defense ranked before last year? Does the cards big game make us drop a lot?

i feel like we've got better at the run D as the season has gone on, when everyone is healthy.

if Armstead and Hargrave are playing, I'm not too worried about the run D. More worried about third down D. The key to stopping Lamar is to not let them get in third and short and convert them - they hog tons of clock doing that. Similar to the eagles.

won't matter that our offense is explosive when they get like 3 drives a half - turns into a game with no room for error.

It hurts that they lost Keaton Mitchell. He was a good one. I'm more confident in defending running qbs than I was in the past. But Lamar is the best of all of them. He could kill us

time to show the league the blueprint for Lamar 😈. If there is one. Lol I think Lamar is a much better passer/processor than hurts

I thought we had the #1 run defense since last week.... did that arizona game really drop us that far to 18??

The underdogs have won 7 straight games on MNF, which is a record. Ravens are underdogs this week.
