This is going to require not only our amazing front 4 to get to Mahomes quick, but the rotational guys also have to step up. I really hope they activate Damontre Moore for this one.
Side note, what player do you think will be used to cover the best TE in the league Kittle??
False narrative. Kelce had a much better year than Kittle.
Post Season: In 2 games-Kittle has 4 catches for a measly 35 yards- pitiful. :-)

KC is better than GB.
That was Shanahan’s PTSD coming out from the Falcons/Patriots SB. [Reply]

You are right on both counts, but it tells you a bit about him. The great QBs take risks and occasionally they throw INTs, but the INT doesn't faze them and they keep coming back. Watch some SF games from this year. JG never looks fazed. Never gets down. He just keeps coming. I don't think he's "great" yet, but he has the demeanor of a great QB.
Regarding Shanahan's playcalling, why would you pass when you're running the ball down the throat of your opponent and they can't stop you? Neither the Vikings nor the Packers could stop the 49ers running game. [Reply]

Not seeing the LB 10 yards in front of you isn’t “taking a risk”......it’s a stupid fucking decision. [Reply]

Lol go ahead and throw a pick against us and see how that works out for you! [Reply]

Oh buddy.
Did you watch Derrick Henry last week? Did you see his 8 yards in the second half while the game was still very much in question?
Did you see? I expect you WATCHED, but did you SEE?
You really think you're going to succeed where they failed?
You think Jimmy G is going to win a shootout with Patrick Mahomes?

Doubt your defense, your head coach and your entire conference. You haven’t played anyone as good as the niners this year and when you have, you scored mid 20s vs pats, Vikings and bears
So we beat the Ravens, you LOST to them. Yeah we haven’t played anyone as good as the mighty 9ers, lmao! [Reply]

oh kiddo. Just go home.
First, fan and season ticket holder since the early 70s. I suspect I've watched multiples of the number of games you have.
Second, I think you're missing the context of my post. I was only addressing why JG threw so few passes in the last 2 games and stated the obvious -- if they can't stop it, you keep doing it. Even pop warner coaches know that. GB and Minn couldn't stop SF's running game. That doesn't mean (and I didn't say) that KC can't stop the running game. I watched some game film and you guys seem to have stout run blockers in the middle of the line. How are they against zone blocking? Shanahan is more about the one cut against the flow running. Is your line solid in setting the edge?
And no, I don't think JG wins a shootout with Mahomes. Mahomes is the best in the game right now. But the question is, can he do enough to win the game? [Reply]

BUT, with a passing game, SF doesn't control the clock, and its defense ends up on the field too long. The front seven for SF is elite, but they are light and can wear down as the game goes on. Ball control by the offense allows the SF defense to be elite.
Mahomes has a higher yards per completion. Garoppolo has a slightly higher (1.2 percent) YPA.
And Ryan Tannehill has a higher YPA than either of them, by a huge margin (15 percent).
QBs that pass off a lot of play action and against boxes stacked to defend the run typically will have a higher YPA and YPC completion because they’re typically throwing in advantageous situations.
I think the game plan the Chiefs opened with against the Titans is telling; they came out prepared for the PA shots and didn’t give Tennessee a stacked box to try and exploit early.
The Titans made some nice plays on shorter routes to move the ball on their first 3 drives, but they never landed that demoralizing quick-strike bomb like they did early against the Ravens and Pats.
Shanahan’s creativity is worrisome. I’m sure he’ll look for creative ways to get some of those chunk pass plays early, with your FB or Kittle.
Kansas City has used Sherman at times like the 49ers use Juschek in the pas game, so the concept shouldn’t catch the Chiefs with their pants down. Still, it’s scary. [Reply]

That and going to jail for stabbing fellow fans to death. [Reply]
