Yes I’m not saying they aren’t. I was actually acknowledging that they’re usually a strength.

But they aren’t covering Kelce so other than maybe being a little better covering Williams out the backfield and having an impact in the run game, it’s not going to help much.

Their impact will be minimal.

We're like 13-1 against them over the last 7 years.

We're 25-3 against the entire AFC West since 2015.

What hard time do the Chargers give us?

Their defense held us to 31 points in week 17! They clearly have our #.

Biggest X Factor is Derwin James. He's pretty incredible.

Right. But they still can't beat us.

They have a little bit of everything.

They have 2 really good pass rushers, 2 really good corners, and probably the best safety in the NFL when healthy.

They matchup better with us than the 49ers because it isn’t all about their front 4. They have the secondary to match.

That’s why I said for all that talent they have up front, they’d be better off losing 1 or 2 guys for a couple upgrades in the secondary for this matchup.

With all that said, we still put up 21+ on them even on a bad day. The Chargers just defend us a little better than most because of the reasons I stated and the fact that they are so familiar with us. That’s why the Seahawks were able to hold the 49ers under 30 both games despite not having a lot of talent on D too IMO.

I'll put it in simpler terms for the simpletons in here. I think it's a lot more likely that the 49ers put up 40+ on the Chiefs mediocre D than the Chiefs have scoring 40+ on he 49ers.

I don't care what they did these weak AFL teams. I've seen the 49ers D when healthy enough during the season to know that they will be a struggle to score against for any D.

The media has got many people blind.

Baltimore shut our run game down? Screw watching the game, did you even look at the box score? Mostert had 150 yards on 19 carries.

We crushed both teams barely using a QB at all. We could've put anyone in there and won those games comfortably.

You didn't kick the Titans ass... it was 21-17 at the start of the 4th quarter.

Funny how the 49ers great D is only 5 spots better in PPG with a HUGE 1.3 pt difference.

18.9 PPG = GREAT

20.2 PPG = MEDIOCRE

Also, the Chiefs and the 49ers have a pretty much identical SOS. You’ve said more dumb shit in this thread than any of your fellow 49er fans combined, which says a lot.

Well, Grampa Boomer, hate to break it to ya, but the AFL doesn't fucking exist anymore. Like 15 years before I was born.

Do you still call movies "talkies"?

JFC...

Second, your dumbass can continue thinking that the Chiefs defense is "mediocre". You're in for the rudest awakening when Frank Clark bends Mostert clean the fuck over right in front of God and everyone.

Good luck, Gramps. There's absolutely no way that the 49ers score 40+ on that defense. For that to happen, Jimmy Grapes would have to literally turn into 1990 Joe Montana, and even then, this defense is playing with a chip on their shoulder.

But I don't need to explain that to you - you know all about the AFL and teams like the New York Titans, the Boston Patriots and the Houston Oilers.

Now shut the fuck up and have another Wurthers, old man.

That's it? From THE JUGGERNAUT!?

Since you guys use the wing T and don't need a QB you'd think you could do that in one quarter.

150 yards is like 2 passes for Mahomes.

Good thing for you guys, since Jimmy G is pretty much anyone.

It's funny, how he barely threw...but still gave up a sack and an interception :-)

Mahomes, by comparison, has thrown for almost 1000 yards this postseason without an interception.

Oh, but we did. Did you watch the game?

When Mahomes hit Watkins for that 60 yarder in the 4th...Vrabel looked like his soul was crushed. He knew it was over right then.
[Reply]

I wouldn't call the Chief's D mediocre, it's good, well above average but I wouldn't put it above the Vikings or Saints. But yes, it's more likely we blow them out than they blow us out.

Jump to the middle of any of their playoff game threads and you'll see many of these same posters freaking out about getting blown out.

Aren't you being hard on John Dowd?

Hey, he's old. Feeble-minded. Still thinks the Chiefs are in the "AFL".

I mean, you're right, but the other 49ers trolls have said some dumb shit, too.
[Reply]

Ok, guy. You'll notice I'm not one of those pantywaists.
