I don't think Kyle will rest players week 18 if they have a chance to keep the Rams out of the playoffs. They will have the bye week to rest. Now he may sit players who are hurt to not risk futher injury but I don't see him sitting healthy players.

If he sits Trent Williams, who is still a little banged up, I imagine he'll sit Brock as well.

You sit Brock and have Darnold play, so they can show who at QB does matter.

If Arik and Hargrave can't play we won't stop that power running game and then Lamar's inconsistent arm will be meaningless.

It both can play we will be able to stop that running game and then that passing game will be meaningless. I've never been affraid or Lamar's arm and he won't scramble for 100 yards on us.

Stop their running game and they'll score less than 20 points.

This is exactly what I believe as well. If we cant stop the run due to injuries we probably will lose. I'm not afraid of Lamar's arm beating us even though he is a pretty good passer.

I don't think he will beat us with just his arm and no running attack.

He's bold for that.

Was clipped out of context. It was sarcastic.

Easy W

Lol why are the ravens players surprised they're underdogs to us? Have they not watched any film on us? Know any of the stats? They are also not at home.

i really think brock has a huge game. I also don't see armstesd and hargrave missing this game - way too important.

for the folks who know a lot more about how this will impact the ravens than I do, any takes on how this gives us an advantage?

They are b***hing like the Eagles did before we beat them down. They'll see come Monday.

As long as we play our game, I do not see the Ravens, or any NFL team, beating us. The only thing that can beat the Niners, is the Niners

Tired of players of opposing teams feeling "disrespected at being underdogs" every time someone plays the 49ers. Same old story every week. Opposing teams HC mentions that to their players, and they all take it "personally".
At the same time, they are "glad" they are underdogs.
It's getting old and meaningless. Basically, Vegas lights a fire for you. If so, there are bigger problems.
Two very good teams will be playing Monday night. It's a regular season game, with no major impact to seeding for playoffs.
Enjoy the game and move on to the next.

#49ers' most popular choice of personnel grouping this season is 21 personnel (2 RBs, 1 TE, 2 WR).

They run 21 personnel about 42% of the time this season.

Ravens have only faced 5 snaps of 21 personnel this season, definitely a new wrinkle they'll have to prepare for.

Since I'm confident that hargrave and armstead will play - my only real concern for this game will be the tackling on D - that's usually a sign of fatigue and we have like 40 missed tackles over the last three games. Ravens are physical - so I hope our guys feel good with the extra day of rest and are prepared.
