Numerous injuries have cropped up that might leave us with some new faces out there for the 49ers.  Walt Harris finds himself questionable, which means we might get to see Tarell Brown make his first career start.  If Harris is a no-go, that could also mean a boost in Reggie Smith's playing time.  You never like to see injuries, but I've reached a point where I want to see what more of the young guys can do.  Tarell Brown has shown talent in the secondary but if he's going to become a starter, we need to find out sooner rather than later.

It's going to be a tough game, particularly if Buffalo gets hit by a potential snow storm.  The Rams win aside, the 49ers have to be desperate for a W.  Of course the Bills are probably even more desperate to get a winning streak going.  They're 6-5 and trailing in most of the tie breakers.  I think it's time for the 49ers to put a serious crimp in the Bills playoff plans.

GO NINERS!
