SF had the better offensive line, Kaepernick was faster than the Ravens LBs and Vernon Davis would give them fits.
Defensively I didn't think Flacco could exploit the SF secondary but I guess I was wrong.

If Justin Smith was 100% then the Niners would have gotten some pressure on Flacxco, which helps out their mediocre secondary.  That's why they lost.  Also, Ray Rice is good, but I don't know that he's any better than Frank Gore.  SF will contend for the super bowl again. Kaepernick is too good for teams to hold back.  Not only can he run, but he one hell of an arm as well.
