Yeah...no one seems to think that game is relevant and obviously they’ll tell us that they’re sooo much better now...but are they that much better? Coming into that game, Garoppolo was 6-1 with SF. Statistically, their numbers now are fairly similar to what they were doing at the time (better in pass defense but enough to make that 35-7 first half drubbing irrelevant?).
Not to mention, for all the improvement that may have occurred on their defense, KC’s defense undoubtedly improved more.
I think Reid’s got plenty of plays ready to neutralize the pass rush and is about to go in dry again.
