Re: Flacco's stats playing in a true dome stadium
I am pretty confident Flacco is going to have a huge game. I don't think scoring 30 points is a stretch at all. I keep hearing about how the 49ers and their god-like rookie QB are going to run all over the Ravens, but I think the real story should be can the 49ers defense stop Flacco? If the 49ers get into a big hole, Kaepernick will need to focus on passing and that will expose him to sacks and interceptions.

Small point of correction.
Joe has played three times in Houston and only once with its roof closed.
That was this year.

Re: Flacco's stats playing in a true dome stadium
That's pretty cool. I agree with Joe, had he thrown a tight spiral he could have had 80 yards.

Re: Flacco's stats playing in a true dome stadium
I am not sure how much those statistics matter. This is not an away game. The crowd may not be silent but it will not be nearly as hostile as it was in Houston earlier this year, or in any of the games Joe has played in a dome. For an offense, crowd noise in a dome is the factor you worry about most. There will be no "De-Fence" flashing up on the jumbo tron, no announcer screaming "Its 3rd down lets make some noise!" I think the lack of such distractions will help Joe. It cuts both ways, though, the SF offense will not have to deal with the M&T level noise.

Re: Flacco's stats playing in a true dome stadium
:word There wont be 30+ mph winds like there was in Foxboro making Flacco's passes sail. Playing in a dome is a huge advantage for Flacco IMO. Read the quote from Flacco talking about the Dome in New Orleans I posted earlier: “The truth of the matter is, when I get in here and start throwing the ball around, you really get kind of excited about it just because you can tell the difference. The ball really goes in here and there are no real elements to deal with.”

Re: Flacco's stats playing in a true dome stadium
So, in all of this talk about lack of elements to effect him along with our receivers with great speed on the outside, it brings up a number of problems for the Niner defense.
IF they decide on leaning to stop the run, it will leave one of their corners man to man on either Torrey Smith or Jacoby Jones. IF the Niners adjust and play cover-2, to bracket our wideouts, then it will be up to the Niner inside backers to cover everything over the middle...Boldin, Pitta, Dickson, Rice.
If our offense can dictate what the defense has to do (adjust to our offense), the Niners will start back peddling and our run game will take off.
So, this game will be dictated on how well our Oline plays...give Joe the time, and everything should open up.
