Elite Defense has proven to be much more consistent in the playoffs. In other words, defense wins championships.
Everyone is forgetting how well the Chiefs Defense has developed, and before people point out who they've played Any Chiefs fan would know even the Shittiest offense would give the Chiefs D fits over the previous 2 seasons.
This Chiefs Team feels like the 07 colts who found just enough defense at the right time. [Reply]
Even with the bad start for the first 8-10 games of the season, the Chiefs defense finished ranked #17 in total yards allowed. But here is an interesting stat. In points allowed, the Chiefs finished ranked #7 while the 49ers were ranked #8. [Reply]

Likewise, despite Sanders not playing the entire season, in offensive points scored, SF ranks 6th and KC ranks 8th. [Reply]

After week 1, the Chiefs offense really didn't look like the historic offense we saw in 2018. That is, until late in the season and into the playoffs. This was due to several factors including injuries to Wrs, oline, QB. The team is mostly healthy now. IMO, SF will have to score 30 if they expect to win. [Reply]

Yep, that's right. Plus the weather will be ideal. To win the game, I think the 49ers will have to outright dominate our offensive line. [Reply]

I mean, SF averages 29.9 so that makes sense. [Reply]

Congrats, Niners! You could have had an unstoppable dynasty! Now you’ll be hard pressed to keep up this TOUGH BUH PHYSICAL TEAM for longer than 3 seasons when it comes time to pay everybody.
Enjoy becoming a shittier version of the Seahawks ! [Reply]
“ The challenge of the 49er pass rush. I asked my friends at Pro Football Focus for some statistical help this week on the formidable San Francisco pass-rush, which has nine sacks and 26 hits/significant hurries on the quarterback in two postseason games. Logically, with the Niners front healthy and playing productively, you’d figure it could be the biggest factor in the Super Bowl. Now I’m not so sure.
With a fit front in these playoffs, San Francisco pressured Kirk Cousins, on average, 2.43 seconds after the snap; and, with Aaron Rodgers, 2.58 seconds after the snap. On average, that means San Francisco is pressuring the quarterback about 2.5 seconds after every passing snap. Patrick Mahomes, over the past two years, has a 120.3 rating and 5,248 passing yards when throwing in 2.5 seconds or faster. That’s the best in the NFL since the start of 2018.” [Reply]
How is their cardio? This Chief Offense is going to run them ragged. Texans D line was gassed and the Titans d line was too slow to be effective. [Reply]
