Let's talk about the 49ers (Super Bowl Edition)

[TLO]

Well Chiefs vs Packers is what I had hoped for, but that's not happening.

Let's talk about Chiefs vs 49ers here.

[chiefzilla1501]

There's one thing that makes me a little nervous. Robert Saleh.

Does he run the same defense as Gus Bradley? Although we're awesome against zone, Bradley's defense seems to be one of the few that's kind of stumped Mahomes. Good news is Andy has 2 weeks to prepare for that.

[seamonster]

49ers have an elite offensive line that don't doesn't hold every other play like Nashville. And that zone running scheme is tricky. But none of that matters if the chiefs get a two score lead. And if Gerapallo starts throwing pickles (like he normally does) then it's lights out. Should be a close game.

[MMXcalibur]

The most indirect thing I love about a Chiefs/49ers Super Bowl is that Raider fans are pissed off and will have nothing but 2 weeks of misery leading up to kickoff.

[Mecca]

There's a reason that even the analysts say things like this about Garapollo, "He'll throw you 3 are you gonna catch em?"

[baitism]

SF is full of Niner bundle of stickss, just like this thread.

[JD10367]

Niners have a great D but have never faced an O like KC’s. Mahomes is nearly indefensible. Too many weapons and if you cover them all he’ll run for yards.

Garoppolo is better than you all give him credit for, but the Chiefs D is also better than it was. Much like Tennessee, they’ll stop the run and force Jimmy G to win it and, lie Tannehill, he can’t match TDs with Mahomes.

I see a very similar game to this Titans one. Niners will be close at the half but lose by 17.

sounds like you have "vacationed" there quite a bit and are an expert on the goings on there?

sounds like one of the Alexians made an alt for the game

I'm less scared of Mostert than Henry , personally.



Let him run to the edge...

[TwistedChief]

King Mostert and Prince Jimmy are standing in our way? Oh no, whatever will we do?

If we play our game, we win. We should be able to key in on the run as we did against the Titans. Garoppolo is a decent QB but our secondary is solid.

Mahomes is the best player on the field and will will us to victory. 28-21.

[duncan_idaho]

Defensively, Mostert is a home run threat. So is Breida if he gets the rock much. Tevin Coleman is the least scary member of that backfield, IMO, and might not play.

Their offense is dangerous because Shanahan is a great playcaller and they execute well, with good talent and balance. Spagnuolo is going to have to have a great plan.

Offensively, looking at their secondary, that’s a tough matchup for them outside Richard Sherman if the front 4 can’t generate pressure. As I understand it, Sherman doesn’t “travel” with receivers (still) so KC can scheme away from him if necessary.

Their LBs are smaller/faster types who are solid in coverage, but there’s not a Derwin James in that back 7 to help really neutralize Kelce.

It’s going to come down To how much the Chiefs fan protect Mahomes. If they give him time - and I think they will - he will do his thing.

[duncan_idaho]

If I were the 49ers, I think I have to consider playing Bitchmade on early downs to try and get my best pass rush out there all the time.

Chiefs would likely adjust to a lot of runs to Bitchmade’s side, even if not in 21 personnel, since WRs can routinely block Bitchmade out of it in the run game and you can run right at him.

But that might play to San Francisco’s advantage if it means fewer balls in the air.

aw kid.

Naw.

Hell naw.

The Niners are a good, solid football team. They run the ball well, they play good, solid defense.

Kittle is great and Kelce's only true peer, in my opinion, at this point in time.

Jimmy G? He ain't Elway. Not even old, almost about done Elway.

Naw.

Don't give me stats, because the genius of Elway was never statistically evident anyway.

It was in his ability to pick his team up and carry them kicking and screaming to victory and rip the heart out of the opposing team and their fanbase. And he did it consistently.

so no, Jimmy G does is not in any way, shape, or form John Elway.

And you've got no Terrell Davis.

Jimmy G is a less careful with the ball Alex Smith.

That's cool. That can even be pretty good. It can even win a Superbowl IF everything goes just right.

You're about to run into Patrick Mahomes. Everything ain't going to go just right.

And Derrick Henry could only run for 69 yards against this defense. Throw the season stats out; they've been a totally different squad the second half of the year. New defense, you know. Took a little while to gel. And a lot of injuries to fight through. They're relatively healthy now.

Naw, kid. You're not going to win this one.
