Bengals and Ravens are playing miles better than they did early in the season. Stout test at Buffalo but they have a way of owning them. Purdy finally looks like a lowly drafted QB, if we can make it an ugly game I think we pull it out. I think we can keep it ugly coming off the bye week and getting some crucial players back. Of course if the offense really wants to wake up that would be preferred, but the 49ers defense doesn't give up a lot of plays although the Bengals exposed them. We have lock up the division as soon as possible, that should be the main priority. Then we look at trying to see if there's a scenario where we can get the bye week going into the postseason. KC has been slumpy this year and playing the Dolphins overseas this week is a tough out. Those Bengals/Ravens games will be huge.
