Chiefs vs 49ers - Who you got?

San Francisco has to ask themselves if they think Sherman can cover Hill one on one. That should allow them to double Kelce and stymie the Chiefs offense. As great a corner as Sherman is, that's a tall task. Sherman doesn't travel with his receiver so unless San Fran changes that, the Chiefs could just put Watkins to Sherman's side and put Kelce and Hill on the other side of the field.

The Chiefs have to find a way to put the Super Bowl in Garapollo"s hands. Much like the Rams last year, the 49ers outside zone run is the oxygen of their offense. The Chiefs defense should employ the same front New England used last year to great effect. 

They can't let Shanahan call run after run to protect Jimmy G. Put 8 or more in the box and dare Jimmy G to beat you with his arm. 

Shanahan was the OC for 28-3. If San Francisco has a lead in the second half , he might not call another run. 

I'd love to see Andy Reid win a Super Bowl.

I’ve got the 49ers. Think they have both the run game to keep Mahomes on the sideline AND the stout enough D to slow down that insanely potent offense. I think KC’s D won that game yesterday by containing Henry, but I doubt they’re good enough to bottle up the 49ers run. That Mostert kid looks like the real deal.

Mahomes will get his, they have enough weapons and an elite OL. Question will be if the Chiefs D can hunker down like they did against Henry after the 1st quarter and stop the Niners running game. Need to force Jimmy G to throw because he’s the weakest link on that team. I’m pulling Chiefs but have no idea what to expect as far as who I think will win.

I think KC has more weapons and they dont depend on the running game like the Panthers did

Yeah this matchup doesn’t remind me of that one at all. Niners D is nowhere near that Broncos D but their O is better. Chiefs are nothing like we were on either side of the ball.

Pregame tidbit from Albert Breer (MMQB)

Quote

Kyle Shanahan admitted to the guys in the room on Saturday that the story he was going to tell, based on what a Navy SEAL had relayed to him, wasn’t PG. But football’s a game played in dark places, and this one worked for his 49ers.

The soldier was explaining combat, and he emphasized that finishing the job might mean drowning an enemy who was scratching and clawing and fighting for his life. It meant, in the soldier’s words, beating back until all remaining resistance was gone.

Because of the nature of the story, the San Francisco players who heard it hesitated to go into detail on it. But they understood what Shanahan was trying to get across loud and clear—even if people on the outside might find it weird.

“It was a little dark, but he got the message across,” said tailback Raheem Mostert.
