He seems be progressing in a lot of areas, but wondering how he'll do in a more gladiatorial type battle like this. Good luck to both teams, no injuries.

He seems to have improved greatly this year at pre-snap reads and going through progressions. He hasn't let mistakes keep him down either, as evidenced by his many 4th quarter comebacks and clutch drives.

His main issue has been throwing mechanics as his passes tend to sail on him. That's my biggest worry with this game; that he'll have too much adrenaline and his mechanics will suffer.

I wanna say Carolina, but Crabtree being back makes me hesitate.

You have no idea what youre talking about, saying he sucks is a real reach and an exaggeration. Saying nobody fears them makes no sense, I really doubt there is a single grown man in the NFL who fears any player or team. Saying the running game can be stopped, sure it can, if they wanna stack 8 in the box they can stop the running game but not every team is willing to do that if the passing game is clicking at all. Amazing to me that a team one year removed from being in the Super Bowl is now apparently a one trick pony who has nothing but a defense.

I feel better about this one than I did Green Bay, which, of course, means we'll probably lose by two touchdowns.

Excited to see this matchup again and the physicality from both sides. Going to be a tough game for both teams I think. I get the feeling that with Crabtree back, the 49ers offense will be able to click a little better than they did last time against the Panthers. Should be a close game but I see the 49ers pulling it out.

Well said.

Hope the Officiating is good and consistent.

Don't need to hear anymore gripes of the Refs/League conspiring against SF again.

lol, 49ers should bring in Ric Flair again and have him come out in 49ers gear during the game. Get fans booing them even more.

Was already funny/cool on the weekend when Flair was with the 49ers(and all the players were sitting there and enjoying seeing him there as if they were kids)

lol @ whoever said Niners aren't a scary team.

If they were in any other division, they'd win it.

I'm more skeptical about Carolina then I am about the Niners.
They've been winning every tight game this year, something like Atlanta last year, we'll see if they can keep it going.
