OAKLAND — This is the live blog for the pregame of the 49ers’ Week 14 game against the Raiders. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.
12:17 The Niners’ inactives are Brandon Lloyd, Vance McDonald, Tramaine Brock, Anthony Davis, Glenn Dorsey, Bubba Ventrone and Josh Johnson.
12:18 The Raiders’ inactives are Denarius Moore, Menelik Watson, Matt McGloin, Neiko Thorpe, Tony Bergstrom, Brian Leonhardt and Stacy McGee.

12:54 Bo Jackson is on the Raiders’ sideline. Best running back ever.
General Patton is ready for the sting and clash of battle. Seize the day!
I never do predictions but will go out on a limb. San Francisco Dawson’s win 9-3 . lol
Denver also has the bonus on defense of a pass rusher by the name of Demarcus Ware, unless I missed him being out with injury.
True, they have two dominant pass rushers.
I see where you said Bo was on the sidelines. He probably still can compete on one leg better than some of these current Raider players.
Best Raider running back not best ever. Come on man
Bo was amazing. Easily the best athlete of the last 40 years.
Rams beat the raiders 52-0 last week – no pressure though. Rams just kicked the crap out of someone else today. Are we the worst team in the West?
Cardinals might be the worst in the West.
Gail Sayers was other worldly with the football.
