You can, it just makes some of Rails' niceties unnecessary. Views and "Controllers" are handled up front by backbone. You just need routing and models from Rail

  Backbone controllers don't replace Rails controllers. You will still need both for a functioning app. Rails' views are largely replaced by client-side templates in a single-page app, although you can use the asset pipeline to compile and serve these.
