Last time we played them back in 2019 (Lamar's MVP year) we lost 20-17. I think we all knew heading into that game that we were probably going to lose, especially since it was an away game and once Lamar started having his way with us, and we were 5.5 dogs. Lamar gashed us for 100 yds rushing and a td. Ingram added 60 yds. We did the same to them with Mostert's 146 yds rushing. Passing was limited on both sides. 265 passing yards total between the teams. Three years later some familiar faces on both sides and a lot of new faces obviously. I think Aiyuk has a big game against that big but not as quick secondary. We need to shut these songbirds down. They're already talking a lot because they feel they're being disrespected by the spread, lol.

49ers are 1-5 vs Balltimore since 2000(including the SB). Time to start a new trend.

Word. We turned a new leaf with the s**t birds up in Seattle, so no reason we can't do the same with these s**t birds.

Seahawks are a shell of their former self, though.
The Ravens are still one of the best and most consistent teams In the league under Harbaugh.

Aslong as the defense doesn't play sloppy like they did last game against the Cards with all the missed tackles, I think we'll win.

I'm expecting a close one. 23-20 9ers win

Well yeah, but it doesn't matter about who those teams are now VS a decade ago or two decades ago (certainly the Ravens have fielded many teams since 2000) The difference is that we're the most different team than we've been since the mid 90s. We're no longer the team that's going to grind a close contest with every team we play, a team who's success is predicated on defense/running the ball/controlling the clock. Now we're the guys who have an explosive offense at our disposal, who can drop 40 on the best defenses, that can win games when our own defense struggles. We have t had an offense like this since Steve Young was our QB, so while this may be a close contest, don't be shocked if we drop 40 on these guys and wipe the mat with them. We got a roster full of really bad dudes and a MVP at QB.

Last night I rewatched our defensive snaps from the game and it was pretty ugly.

Our D has to perform 'night vs day' compared to the Cardinals game.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Niners win a tight game. Maybe a TD drive in the 4th quarter or a game winning FG. We haven't had either of those this year. It's fun for us fans to watch blowouts but in the playoffs it could help if they had experience winning a close game. They haven't done that this year.

If Moody kicks a FG to win, Brock would definitely be out of the MVP race. 😂

Niners 31, Ravens 26

Another MVP candidate who will suck against the 49ers

any more after Lamar?

if you want to watch something that lights a fire under your ass, please forward to 9:30 and start watching. These mofos led by team Joy have spent every week propping up every quarterback opposite of Brock Purdy. From Stafford to Dak to Hurts to Trevor to now Lamar, these mofos just can't swallow that this is an elite team led by an elite quarterback.

Joy is the worst, poor analysis...as usual. We all know the only reason she's on there (o)(o).

Not if he played a good game.

#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.

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?

Digging further into the numbers about the Ravens' defense:

When they're in base personnel (3 LBs):
* They're 26th in EPA/Pass

When they're in nickel personnel (5 DBs):
* They're 23rd in EPA/Run

Feels like an opportunity for Shanahan to manipulate personnel groupings + attack.

Nice! Get ready for an even heavier dose of 21. That second tweet really stands out and plays into the hands of why the 49ers love 21 personnel, its versitility. If they want to treat CMC like a RB, which they should (3 LBs), then throw the ball. When the 49ers have some success throwing, perhaps BAL puts in a third CB instead of a third LB, then run the ball. Amazing that BAL's defense has only faced five snaps against 21 personnel all season. Their scout team has to learn a new offense this week.

it actually was taken out of context, he was being sarcastic then went on to praise how many weapons the niners have

That seems unconscionable. 5 snaps? All year? And we're in Week 16?
