I really do as well. I actually think we match up well defensively in this game. My only concern is how we handle their pass rush. We know all too well what a dominant pass rush can do in these type games. I think we'll be fine on defense. I would be fine with our playoff average 20pts allowed. This offense is built to not lose if we only give up 20. [Reply]

They feasted on scrubs...
They're 9-1 against winning teams and then you realize those winning teams are asshole...
They are literally the product of being in the NFC, cupcake coaster all year long. If they had to deal with what the Chiefs did they'd have been a team struggling to make the wildcard. [Reply]

No doubt. But they're here now and if I'm honestly assessing my biggest area of concern for this game, it's handling their pass rush. If we do that, I think we win and maybe convincingly. [Reply]
At some point, Mahomes and Reid are going to have one of their right-tailed games in a Super Bowl where everything is working. We demolished the vaunted SF defense earlier in the year and if the boys get healthy again, maybe they can do it against Philly, too. [Reply]

We gotta show them stuff they haven't seen all year, the one good offense they saw in Dallas lit them up. [Reply]

Orlando Brown Jr. is worse than Tyron Smith but better than Tyler Smith, so 50/50 there.
Wylie is worse than both.
The Lions tackles are better.
But still... that schedule doesn't feature many offenses that are creative, balanced, and led by a good QB. [Reply]

The NFC is trash aside from you and the niners. Few good QBs compared to the AFC. Surely you understand that NFC records playing mostly NFC teams with shifty QBs is not the same. How many wins do you think the fucking Giants or Minnesota would have had playing in any AFC division? [Reply]
Hopefully we don’t put too much on tape. I’d hate for teams to get a read on us for next year after watching this game. I expect Andy to keep it vanilla in this one. [Reply]
We have a significant edge at coach and QB though.
You tell me based on football history who usually wins when that’s the case (barring something catastrophic, like our o-line in Super Bowl LV). [Reply]
