They really should've told us we'd have to play a team from the NFC when they changed the rules to make the AFC playoffs a flag football format.

Frank Clark's gonna be pissed when he finds out the Super Bowl isn't two-hand touch.

You're fine. It's a lighter day than normal here.

Bosa had a grand total of 2 sacks and 4 TFL in the four games he played against those three teams/four tackles. I wouldn't really call that making fools of them. Schwartz and Fisher compare with any of them (And I'd take Schwartz at RT over anyone in the NFL).

If the 49ers come out and try to use Dee Ford inside on regular downs, or even if they come out and just try to use him on early downs, I expect KC to run right at him and exploit his one-dimensional nature. Will be interesting. Look for 21 personnel if KC is seeing Ford, with Blake Bell assigned to deal with Ford and free up Fisher/Schwartz to get to the second level.

^ 21 also seems to be KC's favored grouping for screen game action. They'll use Kelce or Bell as well as Williams in the screen game, and will run action to both sides of the field.



The game against the Saints is definitely the biggest counter to the "just a game manager" tag for Garoppolo. It's the one that really stands out.

But like I was saying, we've got 40 years of history watching game managers and seeing them occasionally have that one shining moment. All those things you just said in his defense? They're things Chiefs fans have been saying prior to Mahomes about every guy except Montana and Green.

Thus, they ring hollow/false. I know the 49ers played that Baltimore game in bad passing conditions, but they win that game with a few more plays in the passing game from Garoppolo.

The other game you cited was a home win against a non-playoff team quarterbacked by Mason Rudolph, in which Garoppolo never trailed by more than one score, threw for a pedestrian yardage total, and threw two picks that led to 6 points for the opposing team.

You understand why that doesn't make the case for being more than a guy who leans on his D and run game, right?

It'll be a battle of the 49er systematic machine vs the offensive speed and improvisational Chiefs.

Andy’s not dialing up designed QB runs. Mahomes will run if there’s an opening and he has the ability to throw on the run. Not sure why Niner fans are coming in here with Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray comparisons. Mahomes is way, WAY different.

LMAO

Mahomes is a surgeon.

You'll just have to learn like so many before you.

I think a big difference is with our linebackers. Warner, Kwon, and Greenlaw are all excellent pass defenders.

No people think we’re soft because we’re a passing team and they think it’s the same defense from last year and the first half of this season.
