My concern is that they're not going to get to Mahomes EVERY time, and he can hit explosive plays that dig the team out of holes even if they get behind the sticks.
It's a valid concern. Belichick has done about as good of a job as possible slowing down the KC offense, but has still given up huge plays at times. It is hard to cover all of the weapons. And the pass rush is not going to get to Mahomes 100% of the time.
I think it's very possible we see a pretty high scoring game. Would be wild if this turns into the Niners/Saints game with both teams over 40 points. [Reply]

If you are hoping for that team to show up you are in for a real unpleasant surprise. Also the QB got hurt and we were dealing with a backup too. No small thing there either.
We went over this PAGES ago. 2019 49ers are different from 2018 49ers
Second half 2019 Chiefs are different from first half 2019 Chiefs.
Both have better player/ healthy players. Got it. [Reply]

Just wanted to say I am happy for Andy, the team and all of you. One thing I know is that the Chiefs have a very loyal fan base who have hung in there for a long time. Us older Bronco fans can relate a bit.
I was VERY HAPPY to see you all bring the Trophy home!
It will be hard in the SB cause SF is the west coast Broncos with all of the former Broncos out there. Just the same San Fran has had their fair share and I will be very happy to see you all bring the first one home in 50 yrs, you all deserve it. So for this game at least I wish you all luck and there will be a big part of me rooting for you.
Good Luck (Salute)

Ford has been a great speed rusher for us that has boosted the line as a whole.

Glad you’re on to give some feedback here — I mentioned earlier that it seems SF likes to keep Ford on the sideline until they’re in true passing situations. But with KC, that’s every single down.
Do you think he’s going to play full time this game? And if so, how do you see that helping or hurting your defense? [Reply]

I was on the east coast in a place called Palm Bay. It is in between Titusville and Sebastian Inlet. I spent most of my life in FL. However My wife is from (not kidding) MO. And a few years ago we moved to Southern MO in the Ozarks [Reply]

Hurt or offsides? Maybe he'll hurt himself while jumping offsides? [Reply]

Donald was a stud, for sure, but I'm not sure why you think their D was that dominant. Only 41 sacks on the season in 2018. KC had 52! [Reply]

I don't think Ford will play full time because they'll want to keep him fresh. We try to rotate quite a bit so guys can go hard.
Ford hasn't been a liability against the run.
There were a couple games where power runs up the gut hurt our wide 9 alignment because the DTs were getting double-teamed, and a LB might not have been gap-sound.
That's been cleaned up, and our run defense has been pretty solid since the middle of the season.
Mahomes's mobility can tire out the rush, though. That's what happened in the second Seattle game. Wilson just kept extending plays, and by the second half of the 4th quarter, we were cooked.
Although Ford, Tart, and Kwon didn't play in that game. [Reply]
Mahomes literally knew he had problems with his game and instead of settling down and just saying oh I don’t need to correct them cuz I’m so good he actually looked in the mirror and corrected his mistakes. He is greatness
