As usual, you have no context.
If you think we'll fumble a punt at our own 5, whiff on a punt block right up the middle and give you a scoop and score, and drop four passes in the first two possessions to give you a 24 point lead again, then yeah, okay.
We just handed the Texans 14 points. They 'earned' 10 of that 24. Oh yeah, and then we erased that with 35 straight unanswered.
The Titans? yeah, best running team in football. We started slow again offensively. But once again, led by half-time. Oh, and Henry ran for 69 yards. He'd been almost tripling that the previous month. Best running attack in football they said. Can't be stopped, they said. You gotta load the box! 8 men, 9 men!
Nah. We played our standard fronts. This isn't the Chiefs defense of last year; and it's not the same defense as early in the year, with a whole new staff, scheme, and like 8 new starters. They're dialed in since week 10. But you go ahead and believe what you want to. If I were you, before I started assuming things, I'd look at where they rank the last 8 games. It's pretty dramatic.
49'ers scored more points, eh? Is that so? Hmmn. Well...Tyreek hill missed like what, a month plus, Watkins missed his usual month plus, Mahomes was one one leg for the first month, and then missed most of 3 games. We played half the season without our starting left tackle, both guards missed multiple games, and we were literally signing RB's off the street to line up on Sunday there for awhile. Hey, injuries happen. But if you think that point total and offensive ranking is the true measure of what you'll see Sunday, you're mistaken. This offense, when it's healthy, is pretty incredible.
It's possible. You could win. For that to happen, we'd have to come out and have a bunch of random dumb shit like what happened against Houston happen. I don't think we can spot you 24 and still beat you.
I think the 49'ers are a good team, run the ball well, I think Jimmy G is a mid-tier QB, and they have a really good defense.
I don't think that's going to get it done.
See, we've been to that movie SO many times. The ending always blows. I'll give the 49'ers this: They got further than we ever did with that formula.
