This game ultimately goes down to can we get to Mahomes. *If* we’re able to get there, all that speed the receivers have will be irrelevant.
The best defense in the league the last 6 games of the regular season? The defense that just shut down Henry and gave up a total of 295 yards to the Titans who are basically the 49'ers light?
I suppose Mahomes probably wont out gain your entire team by 50+ yards by himself like he did against Tenn but he may get close. [Reply]
This is going to be a great game regardless of rooting interest.
9ers dline chasing Mahomes around as he makes the extraordinary look routine with all the skill talent and Reid drawing up brilliance on one side and Spags dueling Shannahan on the other.
I will guess chiefs win bc Mahomes is a transcendent talent who covers up the flaws. [Reply]
I think I'll just enjoy the win for a week and then start to dig in. Last night was literally once in a lifetime for most of us. It's worth savoring. [Reply]

Did anyone think the Vikings/Packers defenses were as bad as they looked against the Niners? That Niner OL is dominant and they have better playcalling than Tennessee. [Reply]

Guess it goes both ways. Your D doesn’t get nearly enough respect same as our O.
The titans are basically the 9ers??? :-)!!! We’re on a different level than those guys offensively. Shanahan is an elite play caller.
We have won many different ways. The RB’s being the ones that carry us to victory. Jimmy G dueling it out with Drew Brees. The D dominating.
I mean no disrespect but, shut down Mahomes (which I’m sure it’s impossible to do) and the Chiefs have nothing. [Reply]

The Packers are awful against the run. Like worse than the 2018 Chiefs bad. [Reply]

We’ve known about a Shannahan zone running scheme. It killed us for years.
It will be very tough bc they have a strong OL and Kittle is the best blocking TE in the league. [Reply]
The 49ers pass defense is vulnerable. I feel like they are similar to the Titans in that respect, but obviously they can generate a pass rush with just their front four, whereas the Titans had a difficult time with that. The 49ers have allowed elite receivers to go off on them - it doesn't seem like they're able to scheme away a team's top receiving threat. Julio Jones had 13 catches for 134 yards and 2 TDs. Michael Thomas had 11 catches for 134 yards and 1 TD. Davante Adams just went for 9 catches and 138 yards. With all of the weapons the Chiefs have, the 49er's defensive backs are going to have a really tough time if that pass rush isn't applying pressure quickly. [Reply]
Biggest thing worrying me about this game is the 49ers pass rush. Bosa, Armstead, Buckner and Ford are the best pass rushing front 4 in the league and we all know the best way to beat a great QB is dominating up front with 4.
But I think Andy will have a plan. I think there will be so much misdirection and fakes, audibles to quick draw runs, screens etc to confuse that DL if it’s a pass or a run.
Either way our guys did an excellent job against Jurrell Casey and Jeff Simmons yesterday. We will desperately need the OL to have a solid game. Fully expect to have Bell motioned to Bosa’s side.
Also keep in mind that Daly coached his DL against this offense in the Super Bowl a few years ago. He’s got that experience. [Reply]
Ouch this 9er fan is walking on thin ice. Let me help..
This chiefs defense is very much improved.. i thought it was because they had played some bad offenses but they shut down henry when no one else could.. How much of that was the chiefs d vs henry overused the past few weeks i'm not sure. Also henry's hamstring was flaring up by the 2nd quarter. But the chiefs were able to stop henry with 9 in the box.
Shanahan will have more success however, as he is not mule headed to keep calling the same play repeatedly trying to impose his manhood, or henrys manhood.. regardless, the 9ers have much better play callers. It will be interesting to see if the chiefs are able to keep up their success. Of course they did give up 24 points to a one dimensional offense with a retread journeyman quarterback who cant play in cold weather though.
The Titans did a good job with kelce. Think they focused on him a little too much and let others make too many plays.
Also the chiefs were wanted for the super bowl so the refs called the game that way so we'll see how the super bowl plays out. I'm expecting a high scoring game, with the 9ers getting a defensive score or 2 and mahomes throwing to his speedy finesse recievers. [Reply]
