The 49ers are going to score points. It’s going to ****ing happen. If you’re going to bleed out of your vagina because of it....then do that shit now and keep it out of the game thread.
Looking at you, Showtime.

It'll take longer than 2 years to shake the influence of Martyball in this town.
Too many people cut their teeth on 13-7 games and the idea that any points scored were borderline disastrous. And if the defense gives up 17 and we lose, it's somehow the defenses fault.
If the Chiefs score fewer than 24 points with these weapons and these rules, I don't care if the defense gave up 24 to yield the L - that loss is the offenses fault. This team is backwards from everything we grew up on. The offense will dictate what the opposing offense can do just as much as our defense can. And ultimately it takes a few drives for the offense to impose that kind of pressure AND they have to actually execute to do it.
Defense these days should be measured in punts and turnovers. Hell, with his offense you see a FG as a win. Yards and first downs just don't matter a whole hell of a lot over 60 minutes. Keep making them work, hold them out of the end-zone by hook or by crook and sooner or later the pressure exerted by the offense can/should force them out of their comfort zone.
I understand the folks that don't like it, but it's the way the NFL works these days and the Chiefs are largely at the front of it. It's a nice place to be for once...
