Nice avatar.

I was at that game in the rain at Doak.

"Mr. Fisher, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."—CP

Seriously? WTF?

You have every right to bitch about referees, as I'm sure the Tits got screwed on some calls this season (like every NFL team)... but that AFCC was called very well.

The Vikings, Packers, and Seahawks are all run-first NFC teams. The 49ers made those teams uncomfortable by taking away the running game. The Chiefs really don't care about running the ball. We don't look to "establish the run" - we just use it situationally and occasionally to keep teams honest if all they are doing is rushing the passer. I could see the 49ers taking away our longer developing routes on several plays because their pass rush is so good that those routes won't have time to develop. But I have to think our screen game and short passing game is going stress that defense either way. Might be a big YAC type of game for our offense. Quick slants over the middle to Hill, Watkins, Hardman are going to be tough to defend.

This is a little misleading because Ford, Tart (our starting SS), and Kwon (or best coverage LB) didn’t play against the Saints and Falcons. Our nickel CB was also in the concussion protocol for the Falcons game.

And Adams got his yards in garbage time yesterday.

That said, Mahomes’s mobility and uncanny ability to throw on the run can negate the rush.

Wilson and Kyler Murray gave us the most trouble.

I expect the Chiefs to get into the 30s, but I think we can, too.

I was as well. Special.

Although I won’t disagree, I will say we’ve had more success shutting down the opp best WR more often than not.

Chris Godwin
Mike Evans
Jarvis Landry
OBJ
Stefon Diggs
Adam Thielen
Devante Adams

Also, Devante Adams got the majority of his yards in garbage time.

Get the **** out of there with this shit.

So which player are you gonna double? Kelce or Tyreek? If you double both Watkins will go off.

The good news is, the Chiefs have almost as many guys who can put up 200 yards in receiving on any given day than San Fran has tons of human shit dumped in public streets today.

Please...Put Sherman in single coverage on Hill. Please double hill and 87.

Yes. Our defense has improved dramatically since Spags took over. That being said, I do think that the niners will be a tougher opponent than the Titans were as far as slowing down their offense. I think that they have enough of a passing game that we will not be able to sell out against the run. They will get theirs, but I think that the key will be slowing them down enough to where Mahomes and company can put us over the top.

Or Hardman, or Damien in the flats, or Mahomes getting cheap yards with his legs...and even Robinson might pop up from time to time. He got a nice 24 yarder yesterday. It is hard to defend all these guys.

Welcome. Please stick around- your reasonable takes are appreciated.

Does Tartt typically drop deep in your cover 3 or is it primarily Witherspoon and Sherman?

I’m a visitor here so I’ll take the high road and keep it peaceful...

I 100% agree. This is why my original post stated that it’ll take the pass rush to get to Mahomes to negate that speed the Chiefs WR have. If we can’t get to your QB before routes develop, it’ll be over by halftime.

The 49ers are the toughest matchup in the NFL for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs can struggle if you get pressure w/ 4 because they can't run the ball efficiently enough to slow the DL down and the screen game just hasn't been very good. So teams that can send 4 and create havoc can keep 7 in coverage and do enough to clog up passing lanes and/or disrupt the timing of the offense. With Bosa, Armstead, Buckner and (yes) Ford - that's a lot of guys that can **** stuff up on the DL. It's a nasty front that can make things difficult all day without having to send extra defenders.

On offense they have genuine game-breakers out of the backfield in Mostert and Breida, who are both very elusive and very quick. Henry isn't as shifty or quick - he gave you a target to hit. The Niners backs don't and Shanahan runs the most interesting running attack in football right now. He's just got a damn nice scheme.

Moreover, if you sell-out to clog rushing lanes, Samuel's emergence as a deep threat along with Sanders as a stick mover and the dangerous Kittle mean that they can really hurt us if we give them an opening.

I figured the Chiefs had a real nice path to double digit wins against both Houston and TN, but this 49ers team is a different critter.

The Chiefs can obviously win the game, but they need to play the best game (ALL 60 minutes) that they've played all season. None of these brutal 3rd down drops. None of the coverage breakdowns and none of the stupid penalties.

They have to play incredibly well. Their previous 2 opponents simply weren't at their level talent-wise. They could give a B- effort and beat two overmatched teams. The 49ers ain't overmatched. Not on paper and not in the coaching staff.

This is gonna be a dogfight and if the Chiefs come out flat, they'll lose it. They have to come out sharper than they've come out in the last 2 games.
