    The Silver Lining in Today's Game

    This should be a throwback game. A reminder that Defense and controlling the LOS matters in the game.

    I'll take a Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Manning, Ben any day. But today's game is a reminder that the pieces around the QB are just as important.

    I am looking forward to some knockout blows tonight. Like a game from the 70s. This could turn out being really good for the game because it's a copy cat league. The more teams that play like the 49ers or Ravens will make the league better for the long run in spite of what Goodell is trying to accomplish.

    Lit they play this game 70s style players will be fined more than they earn for playing in the game.

      The other silver lining is in Ed Reed's hair. He looks like Ray Lewis' grandfather.

        The silver lining is that this season is finally over when the clock strikes 0:00 and we can officially, truly, start prepping the roster for 2013.

            It's kinda fun watching the 49ers not even block Ray Lewis and he still isn't making any plays.

              Silver Lining- at halftime, only 30 playing minutes away from the post-Ray Lewis era..
              The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

                i hope baltimore loses by a FG because of their fake FG fiasco. maybe that play works if harbaugh isn't such a douche and tries it earlier in the season when they're up a million points and didn't need to do it.

                      Jim Harbaugh is having a wardrobe malfunction.

                        On the return there was a block in the back AND a 49er being hugged from behind by a Raven.
