But no one has seen an offense like this before. Mahomes, Hill, Hardman, Kelce, Watkins... it’s fucking crazy when McCoy is an afterthought. Jimmy G is the real deal but they can’t go blow for blow with KC. Chiefs will start slow (as they’ve been doing), turn it over a couple of times. Halftime might be 17-13 Niners. And then in the second half the Chiefs offense will go scorched-earth. Final score, Chiefs 41, Niners 30.
I'm curious, what makes you think that the Chiefs, who haven't turned the ball over at all in the post season, are suddenly going to turn it over "a couple of times" in the first half?
This narrative from the national media that Mahomes is some kind of turnover machine is ridiculous and needs to stop. [Reply]

They just fumbled away a kick. That’s a turnover.
Don’t worry, they’re still winning by two scores. [Reply]

I blame the slow start in the Texans game on rust and perhaps being a bit too cocky. But shit happens and that was an exception, not the rule as the media would have you believe. [Reply]
This is going to be a close one IMO. I really hope the Chiefs win, but I am concerned about you guys stopping the Niners run game, if they get that going it is pretty tough. Make Jimmy GQ try to beat you. That has been the Seahawks recipe and it seems to work.
Chiefs 31-28.
I think the 9ers are terrific but the Chiefs are a little better & have moxie.
If the game is a blowout it'll be us blowing them out.
The Chiefs have the best QB in football & the most talented one I have ever seen.
They have a plus OL, elite skill talent everywhere, & a defense that is above average.
SF has a meh QB, great running game, terrific lines, underrated skill talent, really good defense. Coaches are both brilliant. It's a fair match. [Reply]
