So the Gurley Express! is in the shop for a major tuneup before the playoffs. His backup, Malcolm Brown, checked out of the active roster even earlier. Time for CJ Anderson and John Kelly to team up as a potent 1-2 punch against the '9ers. Our young TEs and Josh Reynolds need to show as playoff-ready performers. This game is essentially a dress rehearsal for the real deal two weeks later.
I expect the '9ers to try and play us tough as a divisional opponent should. However, I just don't think their efforts will amount to much today. We expect to play multiple meaningful games in January and an extra one come February, and no 'Frisco team is gonna stop this horde of Battering Rams!
