Big rain storms in SoCal. How is NoCal? Are they expecting rain and a muddy field? That should slow their pass rush down significantly and play to our strengths (run game) and play action.

On KNBR they're talking about sitting Gore against a team we're favored over by 11 1/2.

I tend to agree.

The questions were posed......"Can we beat the Rams without Gore?"------yes.

"Can we compete for a Superbowl without Gore?"--------probably not.

Let Jacobs handle the Rams. I would not risk potential injury to Gore against a team we should handle rather easily at home.

Bears, Pats, ect.= different story.

Seems far fetch for them to sit starters this early, however I do feel like if the 49ers go up by 2-3 TDs then they should start sitting some of the vets, including Alex Smith, so we can see Kaep do his thing!

This is a division game, and we should not be sitting starters until the 4th qtr on Sunday, if at all. More important game than the Bears IMO. Let's take it one week at a time. I look at it as "This game is the most important game of the season" mentality. No reason to look ahead at what we can't control today. Is it good to project/plan ahead? Of course, but you play to win the game in front of you, so lettuce go out and dominate.

Thank you...good rains through Friday; damp field on Sunday most likely. We'll see some slips. The Rams play their division foes very tough; am expecting a closer game than some think.

I'm referring specifically to Gore, who tends to develop injuries in the latter half of seasons. I'm not talking about the rest of the starters.

Harbaugh I would imagine would share your take though so the topic most likely is irrelevant.

Most underrated storyline going into this game is the fact that 'either' opponent could walk out 3-0 within the division. This is going to be a fistfight.
