The Chiefs will double team their top receiving threat. Sometimes they'll double team both top receiving threats. I bet Kittle will hardly be a factor if the Chiefs decide to cancel him out.

To sum it all up... you guys have faced EVERYONE like the 9ers. Yet NO ONE has ever seen anything like the Chiefs... got cha.

The 49ers have a great team, but neither the offense or the defense are all-time great level like our offense.

Correct, Friend.

Richard Sherman's 2019 season (rank among CBs):

PFF Overall Grade: 88.9 (1st)
PFF Coverage Grade: 90.1 (1st)
Receiving yards allowed / coverage snap: 0.44 (1st)
Coverage snaps / reception allowed: 19.1 (2nd)
Passer rating allowed: 46.8 (3rd)

PFF grades LMAO

I’ll even give you that Sherman is better than Ward. I wasn’t necessarily trying to argue against that, just giving the facts on a stat that I think is very telling considering Gilmore and White, the two best corners in the league, were 1 and 2.

I’m talking about your secondary as a whole, so don’t start moving goalposts out of desperation for a win in this argument.

Copied from a Fansided article

If San Francisco stays healthy at its second level, the wide-9 adjustment should be beneficial. After all, it’s better suited to a pass-heavy league, and interior runs have become far less frequent with teams going away from traditional fullbacks and lead blockers.

That said, good teams take advantage of what opposing defenses give them. And if the Niners are trading interior run defense for better outside containment and pass defense, one would expect their opponents to try to exploit it as much as possible.

Interesting artivle... IIRC the Wide 9 is what the Eagles ran when Andy went to the SB. I wonder if this is what the 49ers are still running? Time for the sausage?

Do they need to be all-time great? They are damn good on both sides of the ball. They score 30 points per game and play very solid defense with a great pass rush. All it takes is a few dumb mistakes like we saw against Houston and KC is screwed. Niners are too good to get away with that.

See, I’m getting the hang of how things work around here.

**** the 49ers

Did they come out and commit those dumb mistakes against Tennessee? Really the only thing I can think of that they messed up was the fake punt.

Umm did you even read the post I quoted?

I’m explaining to him why our attitude is “you haven’t seen anything like us”.

Chiefs have the better pass protection OL, which is what actually matters in the Chiefs offense.

SF has the better run blocking OL.

I wouldn’t say either is better necessarily. People get too caught up in the Chiefs run blocking. It really doesn’t matter in their offense.

I think we got that out of the way against Houston?

Mahomes will shred their zone defense. We will get the lead, and they will have to rely on their passing game to keep them in it. A running team forced to pass more instead. Their QB will get hit, and fumble.

Game. Set. Match.
