Golden Nuggets: Bring on the Oakland Raiders!

I don't know how great the chances are that we'll be watching the San Francisco 49ers in the postseason. I don't know if Jim Harbaugh, Greg Roman, Colin Kaepernick or somebody else that one could possibly blame are going to be here next season. I've let go of the notion of actually worrying about those things, though deep down I know that the 49ers need to beat the Oakland Raiders today.

But I'd rather focus on that itself than what it means if it were to happen. Today, I just want the 49ers to go out and look good against the worst team in football. I'm done talking about what it would mean for them to go out and earn a "big" win and all that, but it sure would be nice if the offense at least looked like it could put up points against such a poor team.
