I’ve been a Niners’ fan since the 50’s (Hugh Mcelhenny, Leo Nomellini, & Co.).
They’re looking good - statistically the third best team in the NFL.
I’ve got them favored to go to the Super Bowl but losing to the Ravens.
The Niners’ best chances against the Ravens and throughout the playoffs: Nick Bosa and the other defensive end MUST CONTAIN the run to the INSIDE - DON’T let Lamar Jackson’s play fakes and options draw you in so he can run outside of you and get ten yards at a crack. I see Nick Bosa do too many 180’s after the run has gone past him on the outside.
The defensive line has been battered.
The DEs cant do it all. Part of containment is ensuring a solid middle. When the DE has to assist with that, it’s hard to get outside.
Hmmmmm. Ping me if they both make it to the SB. I'll wager on that one.
