Week 13 Prediction Contest - Remember that if you don't get predictions in for the morning games you can still enter predictions for later games and get credit. You get credit for any predictions entered by kickoff of the given game. So, if you forget today, you can still predict the MNF game.
Injuries
49ers: Probable - LB Patrick Willis (hip), WR Jason Hill (groin); Questionable - WR Arnaz Battle (foot), WR Josh Morgan (groin), CB Walt Harris (hamstring); Out - FS Dashon Goldson (knee), KR Allen Rossum (ankle)
Bills: Questionable - DE Copeland Bryan (foot), LB Keith Ellison (ankle), TE Derek Schouman (hamstring); Doubtful - S Donte Whitner (shoulder); Out - CB Jabari Greer (Knee), LB Teddy Lehman (hamstring), TE Robert Royal (hamstring), DE Aaron Schobel (foot)
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!

I’m off to a brunch, so I can sorta kinda watch but can’t stick around here. have fun kids.
Still defending Rich Aurilia, and the Niners' classic unis
Good morning!
Well since Arizona hasn’t clinched yet, it’s up to you to keep delaying the party.
A loss today and Arizona clinches, a win today and you can hope that Arizona loses out against the Rams, Vikings, Patriots, and Seahawks and you win out.
Don’t let them back into the playoffs, let them win one!

the more I watch gore play...
the more convinced I become that we need a speed back to really be effective. Frank is a beast, but he doesn’t have the speed or the shiftiness to cut it outside and turn up the sidelines.
11 carries for 18 yards for Gore is what I'm reading

Nice
Finally Balmer makes a nice play, we get 3rd down pressure and the Bills blow the FG. But the defense needs to find an answer to Evans.
I had a strange feeling that would happen...
as soon as the guy said it was like an extra point for the Bills.
Hill was the receiver
But you’re right.

One thing I don't understand
Why don’t all teams have a “the last play is going to be challenged” play that they can go to. Rush to the line and run it up the gut immediately to beat the red flag. They could have run a hurry up there and we wouldn’t be about to lose the ball.

Just so you all know- the Cards are turning back into the Cards, so the division is not out of reach, especially since we can actually win on the east coast.
They have the tiebreaker over us
The win one or we lose one and it’s over.
They have the Rams.
It’s over.

we wouldnt have won that game under Nolan
i’m set on Coach Sing and Shaun Hill as our starting QB going forward. we just need to fill in a few holes this offseason and we might finally something going

did anyone else see that last score in the CAR/GB game?
DeAngelo Williams scored a touch, ran over to the corner of the end zone and tossed the ball to a small group of Panther fans in the Green Bay seats….
Then a Packer fan turned into a defender and swatted the ball out of the air and back onto the field, to the roar of the green-and-gold clad fans in the area.
That’s good stuff.
Nice
Nice game, even the defense looked good for the most part… get us a real NT, a young fast Cb and a real FS and we may be on our way.
And Mike Singletary moves another step closer to removing the ‘interim’ from his title. No way Nolan would have had them ready on the road for this one.
As for VD: stupid is as stupid does.
