It feels like the season hinges on this game. A big win and we can rally, a loss might be enough to send us into a downward spiral. I think we can really take it to the 9ers tomorrow night and get on a roll

Agreed. Pivotal game to say the least. If we lose and the stars don't align right elsewhere....we're pretty much canon fodder in 2014 :(

I know we can win this game. SF isn't as strong as they have been, but they're defense will be the best we've faced so far. I like our offense @ home though.
Davis will be prepared. Our skill guys will be ready. Our OLine must be prepared for a physical matchup. I think Quick has a great game. This is a game where i wouldn't mind seeing the Rams force SF into a shootout.

My concerns still lie squarely on the defense. Gore is on a tear right now, and i have nightmares thinking about Krapper running 30 yards upfield untouched vs our man-to-man blitz on 3rd and long. SCARY.
GW better get these guys ready.

Our defense will likely play contain against the run game similar to how we shut down McCoy. Gotta force the game into Kaep's hands because the pass rush will eventually eat him up and forcing him to make reads under pressure will likely force turnovers.

How about not getting false start penalties? What a novel concept.

That'd require yanking Davin Joseph's ass out of the game. Wanker has 3 of them. Ugly.

Well, it's not like the Rams have anyone behind Joseph, maybe, next year they can draft an offensive lineman in the first round.

I see us winning if we stop all of those penalties! I think we would have won against Philly if we hadn't had so many. We played well....just way too many flags.

Doubling the NT may be needed as Wells has struggled with someone right over him.
Kaperdoodle extension plays....CBs have to be disciplined in their coverages for the duration of the play.

I just really hope the energy level is high and fans show up and bring their A game as well. Monday Night Football, throwback uni's, GSOT in the house... just seems fitting that we go out there and punch the 49ers in the mouth and get our season back on track..

Haha, the entire concept of saying "we need to be on our A game" is pretty funny. I mean, what would the alternative be? To not really try to play their best? "Um, next week we only need to be on our B game." So that's a goofy statement to me. All NFL O-lines need to be on their A game every single time they play.

Yep.
If CB's stay disciplined and cover well, the D line stays disciplined and in their lanes AND the offense does something positive - score points.
I like our chances. Deffinately need to keep Kaep in the pocket and then (stop the run) put the ball in his hands. You do that, you're in good shape.

3 games below 500 is not a good place to be.
We need to beat these punks so bad that they'll be scared shit less next time we meet.
