Had Kelce just not been an idiot on that easy first down, the Chiefs would’ve blown the doors off the Pats. That fumble changed the game. [Reply]
If the Chiefs just execute well on offense, they'll score a ton of points. San Fran does not have the speed in their secondary to hang with Hill, Hardman, Watkins, Kelce, and Williams.
If the Chiefs defense plays with gap discipline, they will earn the right to rush the passer. If San Fran is forced to pass, then Frank Clark, Chris Jones, and Suggs will feast.
In order for San Fran to win, The Chiefs will need to beat themselves.
Sorry, that's just how I see it.
There's nothing new here that we haven't seen.
There's not a physicality that we haven't seen and beaten this season.
It just comes down to execution.
There is, however, no answer for our speed on offense. [Reply]

San Franciscos' run defense can be made to be mediocre, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Reid test the running game to open up the deep ball.
Mahomes will start throwing picks? Mahomes had a crazy low - one percent - INT rate this year despite facing defense after defense that came out planning to take away the deep shots.
The idea he won’t take what the D gives him is very out of date. He makes plays outside the pocket, but he’s also ruthlessly efficient inside the pocket and drastically improved in reading quickly and getting the ball out this year.
That’s what has taken him to the next level. He still can break things down and make things happen downfield, but he has advanced so much in reading pre-snap and being decisive.
Last year, he still had a tendency to get impatient/frustrated and force a play here and there when teams were taking away all of his shots. That tendency has been excised for the most part. [Reply]

Yep I can’t recall what games ,but he had back to back games throwing for a couple hundred yards .taking what the defense was giving and not taking big shots down the field. [Reply]

You act like you’re going to score 60 points. You’ll score in the 30’s. And you’re going to lose.
Which will this board save face because Mahomes will still move the ball and score.
You guys have no idea what’s coming on Sunday. You should really go watch some 49er games lol. [Reply]

Did you watch the Chiefs just dismantle the Titans? Niners will be lucky to score as many points as the Titans did on this defense. Tennessee had a more efficient rushing attack AND the more efficient passing attack over the course of the ENTIRE season (so, including the Mariota games). The path to victory for the Niners does not involve letting Mahomes and this offense drop 30+ points. It's game over at that point. [Reply]
I really think the Chiefs are due for a hot start. The last 3 games have all been sluggish starts (yet all 3 have ended up as impressive wins). [Reply]

Very similar to the Damien fumble against Titans in Week 10. Both of those were mega game changers. Chiefs gotta avoid shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers and special teams blunders. [Reply]
