Thanksgiving Dinner With The Niners: Harbaugh Vs Harbaugh

[wizard1]

Can we beat the Niners. They have amazing talent. How do we match up against a team that locks up the NFC West with a win?

[SideStep77]

It is going to be a really really tough game for us. As long as we split the plays with running and throwing, giving everyone touches it will be close. This will either be a really good game, or we will get smashed.

[nextgen_RavensFan]

This is gonna be a tough game man. Frank the Tank G. I hope Ray Ray is playing. Should be a great game. Am so excited, What could be better, turkey, cherry pie and the Ravens playing in a game that is almost a lock to be close and hard fought. If our "D" shows up strong we will be highlighting in front of the nation.

[wizard1]

I think Pecan Pie may make it a tad better yet!

[JO_75]

I may have to miss the ending of the game because I have to work on Friday beginning at 5am so I may find out who won by the text alerts I get when I wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning on Friday. I'm hoping for a good game and that the Ravens find a way to get to 8-3. Hopefully Ray will be able to play, a couple times they showed him on the sideline he looked like he was ready to go out and play.

[T3hRaven]

I'm excited to finally get to watch a game with Mayock commentating. I have NFL Network back home, and it should be a good one. Watch the game and then get in line for the inevitable Black Friday fighting, should be a good day.

Yeah I have really enjoyed Mayock's commentary on Thursday night games. I too will definitely enjoy listening to him instead of Gumbel and Dierdorf.

i remember Jason La Canfora saying he was going to be out for 2 games, but /shrug he could be wrong. He def did look ready, and this is such a huge game he won't want to miss...especially when we're facing the best RB of the season.

[CHRISSY G69]

With the "Harbaugh Bowl" this Thursday i see a hard nosed defensive game...I think the team who makes the least amount of turnover will come out on top....here are some Strengths and weaknesses of both teams:

Baltimore:
Strengths: Great Defense, Solid D-line, Improving Corners, Great run game, Improving Pass game, KO team
Weaknesses: Joe can mess up...., O-Line can be better, Kick/Punt returning,Corners can leave men unattended.

San Francisco:
Strengths: Running game,O-Line,Defense is Top 10. Pass Rushing. Run Defense is also good.
Weaknesses: Secondary Is only bad part of their Defense,WR's besides Ginn, Alex Smith<Joe Flacco

In all with great coaching i believe the score will hold out to be:
B-More-17
San Fran-10

Hope for a Ravens Win! [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/ravensquote.gif[/img]

[CapoRocky]

I have been convinced since last summer that this was going to be a good game because of the brother rivalry. Now, I'm really thinking that we will have our hands full with the 49ers. Hopefully, we can bring it again and not stop until the final whistle.

Ginn barely does anything at WR, he only has 10 catches on the season

I hope he's playing with what he said about the WR's. Crabtree is playing really well and Vernon is obviously their best weapon in the pass game. Ginn might be their worst.

Brother Harbs is doing an amazing job, and pretty much has COTY on lock.

[K-Dog]

its a [i]fairly [/i]even playing field all things considered.


They have the travel and technically a shorter week than we do abit just for a few hours.

I think we CAN win this with out Ray Lewis.

As long as I can avoid a turkey coma it aughta be a great night of football.

If Jim wasn't having such a great year I could've seen Marvin Lewis getting it again in Cinci.

[Blex64]

Shut down Frank Gore and this shouldn't be an issue.

Our secondary is strong, their receivers are weak. If Ray is back I don't see us losing this. Vernon Davis and Frank Gore are far and away their biggest threats, and he'll contribute enormously to shutting down both of them.

We need to stick with the run. They're a tough run D, but unless we get far behind we have to stick with it.

20-25 runs 25-30 passes I'm thinking.

[ROH522155]

It's going to be a good one. +1 if you want to see this uniform combo!

I think we are going all black unis for this one.

Our defense will handle Alex Smith and Frank Gore.

Its that stingy run defense and pass defense of theres that scares me. Don't really like situations where we have to rely on Flacco to carry the offense. The run game will be ineffective.

[mjb12]

The Ravens definitely have an advantage with the 49ers traveling cross-country 3-4 days after their last game. Plus the game is at M&T and I think they'll end up perfect at home. Primetime at home usually ends up well here.

Yes please.

[Kwothdaraven]

Both teams have a very short week, however the 49ers have to travel all the way across country. So they will have an even shorter week. The ravens definitely have the advantage

Defense: 49ers if Ray Lewis is out, Push if not
ST: 49ers

[frozen joe flacco fan]

We can beat them and we should beat them! They just barely eeked out victories at Cinci and Washington in earlier road games this year. For some reason, they travel east better than most sports teams but the Ravens have always played well at night in our house. Except for Pittsburgh, this is the best team we will play this year and we are the best team they will face this year. As far as I'm concerned, we have only been beaten by one team this year and that was Tennessee. The other two times we beat ourselves. I would love to have the opportunity to play SF twice this year but that can only happen if we meet in Indianapolis at the Super Bowl. How fitting and proper it would be for us to play in the Super Bowl in the house of the Professional Football Team from Indianapolis! One play and one game at a time! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Too bad most of us can't even watch the game.... Stupid NFL network.

Will it be on the local CBS channel?

[BmoreRavens732]

If you live in Baltimore it should be on either wbal or wjz/CBS

[pburnett]

but some of us Raven's fans dont live in B-more anymore.... Oh well.

[BrawltimoreRavens]

I think offensively and defensively we are even. The key is going to be controlling Guinn in the return game. Our special teams hasn't exactly been the best tackling group in the league. Can't wait for Thanksgiving tailgate at The Bank.
