Super Bowl rematch, with both teams currently 1-4.

[NewMarketSean]

Hate to say it but Kaepernick will probably bust out in this game the way our defense is playing. OTOH he's about as good as Vick was in our game with Pittsburgh so there is precedent for this defense to shut him down, and their RB's and WR's aren't as good as Pittsburgh's. But I still don't see them playing well as the injuries pile up.

 

But if Forsett, Gillmore and Smith are able to play we probably win this one going away...I'd say 34-31.

 

Sound familiar?

Heres an example of a game where Flacco needs to have a rating over 100 on the day. 49ers defense is awful, and despite the receivers Joe has, the Niners DBs are worse. If Joe is less than 70% completion rate, he had a bad day. If they are missing Forsett, Joe may be asked to carry the offense, and he should be able to against this team...as long as they don't treat this trip to Cali like a vacation like they did the last time.

@CliftonBrownCSN 

A whopping 10 players not at practice - Forsett, Webb, Dumervil, Yanda, Canty, Taliaferro, Brooks, Waller, Givens,Perriman. #RavensTalk

 

 

Taliaferro now goes to IR.

My flight to SF leaves at noon tomorrow. Joy.

What are the odds on Forsett playing?

@andrewperloff: Joe Flacco on if he jokes w/ OC Marc Trestman on headset: “If there are two guys less likely to tell a joke, I’d like you to find them.”

Classic Joe.

[Bmore Irish]

I can see Joe deadpanning that response as if I was there.

Good news, I don't care if we lose anymore. I actually welcome the chance at a top draft pick. So when we completely shit the bed in the second half again I won't want to kick a puppy. (Disclaimer, I'd never actually kick a puppy, that's pure evil)

Sounds like Smith, Forsett and Gillmore will all be back today.

I apologize to all Raven fans , if our offense looked like this Broncos offense. Thanks.

Niners have their rival Seahawks on a short week. Hope this is a trap game for them and we catch them looking ahead.

I don't. I want the draft pick.

Seriously, I'll root for the Ravens during the game but I won't be disappointed with losses. We really could benefit from a rare top draft pick.

This is the game where it wouldn't surprise me if we win and look pretty good doing it. That'll pull some people back in for another week.

But we'll be more disappointed with a top draft pick bust, which is just as likely. Found Mosley after an 8-8 season.

 

I'd be alright if the Ravens get hot and win a few games here.

Could go either way today. Both teams have enough talent to look good on a particular day. Which 1-4 team is still motivated to play with some pride? Can picture any team folding if things go wrong for them early.

 

Would guess both teams are thinking it's a day to feel better, and it winds up being a decent game.
