The 49ers remain a bit banged up this week. I remain convinced part of the reason Dave Baas is struggling is the continued injury issues. I realize he's been practicing a bit (or fully as in today) and playing each week, but it can't be easy to get into a sufficient rhythm to be a successful player. I'd love to hear other opinions, but Baas has definitely struggled and he has definitely been banged up. Maybe they're related, maybe not.
The Falcons are currently in decent shape with their only non-practice guy being a backup safety. While it's nice to have a leg-up on a team, it's even better to beat a team that has no excuses. The Falcons have no excuses at this point, at least that I can tell.
