"pick apart" might be the most laughable thing I've read on this site. You just compared single players on Seahawks and Chiefs and used that as empirical proof that the Seahawks haven't been a "dominant" team. First, I'd argue maybe we have different standards for dominant. I believe that going 11-5 (49ers, Saints, Ravens, Rams, Cardinals were the losses) with the hardest SOS showed they were one of the best teams in the NFL this year. I hate the Seahawks, but I'm also not ignorant to the fact that had they not had a run of injuries late in the season they would've been a tough out for anyone in the playoffs. Keep dancing, monkey.

And one of the losses in the SB QB edge deal above was to a likely hof QB.

Do the Chiefs have a tight end that can exploit the soft seams in Cover 3 looks? Do they have an accurate QB that's willing to throw receivers open?

Ultimately the Chiefs scored 46 more points than the Seahawks and surrendered 90 fewer than that quaint little facsimile out west. But hey, what's a 136 point swing in scoring differential among friends? We'll just explain away more than a touchdown difference per game by saying SoS and ignoring contextualized stats like DVOA, etc that ALSO show the Chiefs being a superior squad in every single way even when accounting for schedule strength. I mean I thought I was being generous by giving them the positional breakdowns because it at least allowed me to kick LBer their way. |

again if it goes on history, the elite qb with weapons will beat the other team. The win rate on that is insanely high. Of course anything can happen, im just not see'ing it right now.

So here’s a question since they are in Miami. How big of a distraction will the club scene be for each team? How much control do the coaches have in the evenings?

The point is that Seattle is a good, but not great team. The 49ers are clearly better than Seattle in my opinion, but the Chiefs are clearly better than Seattle, too. If you guys struggle with Seattle, you better play better than you did in those games if you want to beat KC.

Outside of that it's not letting Mahomes extend plays by getting outside of the pocket. Just important as an up-field speed rush is for the 49ers they'll need to slow it down and collapse the pocket. Easier said than done. On the back-end they'll need to do a good job disguising and mixing up coverages. Mahomes hasn't shown many weaknesses but he has been fooled a few times in throwing timing routes based on coverage he sees presnap that turn out to be wrong. |

The Seahawks HAD a dominant run. They WERE a dominant team. NOW they have a very thin roster propped up by Russell Wilson's greatness. |
