So when we say "they have a bad defense," what we're really saying is that they have a bad secondary and they haven't been good vs. the run, right? Or am I missing something?

Because if that's the cas, then this isn't going to be as easy as some are making it seem. Our offense isn't going to run roughshod over that defense, if they're better than the Bills defense, and I don't see how they could be worse.

If Mahomes is on (like he’s been) and we don’t shoot ourselves with drops/turnovers, we’ll put up 27 on the 49ers.

With our defense, that should be plenty.

I don't think the 49ers defense is equal to the Baltimore defense, which had great tackling and pretty solid coverage. Probably a better DC in Baltimore as well.

The 49ers defense is a stack of dominos ready to fold any day now.

If Mahomes comes out hot I suspect they’ll collapse.

Another distraction for the team right before a Super Bowl. Last time it was Andy Reid’s son with a drunk driving incident. This time it is Patrick Mahomes’ father with a drunk driving incident. I hope Mahomes will be able to play a focused game. It is very frustrating that his family cannot seem to behave themselves.

I would agree with SF defense is worse than BAL defense, of course. But what I was asking is exactly how much worse? As bad as BUF? My guess is that SF's defense is some degree better than BUF's, player-vs.-player. Wilks isn't as good as the BAL DC, I agree. But this isn't LVR we're getting ready to play.

Chavarious vs Pat. Have faced each other soooooooooooo many times in practice and know each other well. Will be interesting strategy for sure from both sides.;)

They could average 5.5 yards per play against San Fran and it would be a very good offensive performance if they can avoid the silly turnovers and other stupid mistakes (penalties/drops).

Buffalo's best defense in that game was holding the ball with Josh Allen for 70% of the first half and 63% of the total game clock, and relying on Mecole Hardman to do a silly fumble at the goal line.

just looked at TeamRankings.com, and it appears that SF's defense hasn't been playing much better than BUF's defense over the last month, so maybe nothing to worry about there.
