These tough games are coming fast and furious for the upstart youngsters that are the 49ers. They played tough but sloppy against the Vikings (a game they should have won by 14), they played great against the Lions. For 3 quarters. Now we face the hottest QB in one of the hardest road venues in the NFL, Arrowhead Stadium.
They lost their best offensive weapon in Marquise Goodwin in that Minn loss, and were down to 3rd string LBs in the Detroit win. The good news is Malcolm Smith will finally play a meaningful down after missing his first 18 games. Even more significant than that is the return of Reuben Foster. So I think the defense rallies.
Which is why I think the 49ers win tomorrow. Yeah, it’s another early start for a west coast team in a hostile environment, against the hottest QB in the NFL in Pat Mahomes, but I think their defense will be their downfall. I think our defense makes more plays against our improved D (and a hopefully healthier Ahkello Witherspoon), so we win.
My concern is what it has been since before training camp started. And that is our pass rush. DeForest Buckner is actually #2 in sacks at 3.5, but the rest of the team is at 1.5. Which sucks. The return of our LBs, and the havoc they bring (I see Foster blitzing) should be able to slow down the Mahomes express.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
35-27 sounds about right as we shed our fear of the red zone.
I know the Line isn’t favorable, the venue is loud and, every bit the home field advantage for KC.
I’m just thinking our Defense could tip the scales for us.
All comes down to keeping everyone in front on Defense. Nothing over the top.
Hoping the D can steal a score as well.
Both Reid and Shanny like to take some deep shots. ‘Quise should be in the lineup today, which counters Tyreek on the other side hopefully.
WCO vs WCO
Should be a high-flying event nonetheless.
Posted this on the last thread but…
Hoping to see 9ers by a FG – 31-28 😀
Hope your right chuck. I just feel we are making way to many mistakes and playing some really sloppy football. KC’s M.O. is they start out strong and fizzle out around mid-season. I think we get hammered. 42-16 chiefs
Early word is Marquise will play. If we give Jimmy time, Pettis and Goodwin could do some damage.
Watching NBCBA pregame, Jeff Garcia is one weird-looking dude.
Tartt out? Ward starting at CB? No Bueno
Boomer just picked the Niners in the upset for his game of the week
Foster Warner Smith is the starting LB lineup with Warner making the calls. Shows huge confidence using Warner instead of Smith in the middle.
Berman always picks the Niners. He’s a huge Niner fans. He’s actually a much bigger baseball fan than football. And his team is the Giants.
Right off the bat, here we go. And the first drop by Kittle . . .
Fucking Kittle already dropping wide open first-down passes.
Not a good start
Kittle is killing this team. As good as he is, he can’t have a drop a game. That was a first down lost and we have a 3 and out.
fucking mistakes already
horrible punt
That’s as bad a start as you can imagine.
Kittle better start holding on to the ball or JG will stop trusting him.
We can’t play this team sideways.
They are going deep right now.
Big article in the Sac Bee about how the Niners need to tackle better…well when is that going to start
Ask Saleh, because his fucking defense tackles like a Pop Warner team.
I’m so sick of watching football players clap their hands after they fuck up. They do it it in college and they do it in the pros. Catch the goddamn ball, Kittle.
Was that Warner who missed Hunt? Woulda been a big play . . . just got to keep them out of the end zone.
It was Fred Warner.
Great coverage. No pressure.
Two straight plays of nice LB coverage.
A sack and they are out of FG range
2 weeks in a row we give up way too much on 3rd and long.
Less and less impressed with Robert Saleh every week.
wow
How many years in a row have we sucked ass against screens/
Saleh isn’t the one missing tackles.
His scheme sucks. They were completely unprepared for a screen on 3rd and 15. That’s bullshit.
They ran the WRs deep on the right side to open up the underneath.
Tackling…or lack there of
Long game coming up. They aren’t tackling for shit. 3 and 11? No problem.
Yeah, 3rd and 15.
The worst possible start. Pretty sad Shanny.
All that shit falls on Kittle’s drop.
Refs missed a huge hold there
Well that was way too easy for KC, manhandling the 49ers on that TD..
And to add insult to injury, once again I have to suffer through another Thom Brenneman game.
Could be worse , could be Joe Buck LJ
Well when you give the opposing team the ball at their 44 yard line it puts pressure on your D. And Chuck is right Saleh is not the one missing tackles
He’s the DC. Who else is responsible for the defense missing fucking tackles?
The coaches teach the players to be in position to make plays. The players have to make the plays.
They weren’t in position on that screen.
The players?
C’mon Chuck. The best defenses are the defenses with the best talent and best COACHING. The Niners have enough talent at most positions. The rest falls on the coaches.
Juskjhsdlkjh lined up ar WR there.
Another drop leads to this.
Fucking Garcon. That’s the one pattern you’re paid to run, catch the ball!!
And Shanny’s the OC so he needs to get in Joe Staley’s grill for getting manhandled on his block that cost a sack..
Lucky that one was underthrown.
Exum knocked down a WR. Unreal.
Fuck 2 Niners had Watkins for a loss, yet they fuckin miss and he goes for 10 yards fuck!!
This is awful
Nice play there
Sloppy football
A sack! Wow!
Jesus. Getting killed by screens over and over. Finally!!!
A comedy of errors.
Horrible call.
What happened to catchable pass?
K’Won, you fucking moron
K’Wion did nothing wrong there. He was looking for the ball.
After seeing it a few time, agreed. Shit call.
Nothing like having the refs decide the game
The DB is looking back at the ball an doesn’t touch the WR. Disgusting call.
unfucking real. These announcers are fucking stupid.
Neither of those are PI.
Bad clock management, why aren’t they doing hurry up
Clock management in the first quarter?
With the way KC is scoring at will?? Hell yes
Sweet hoiw they donl;t show replays on these fucking openalties.
Richberg stood his guy up. Whatever the call was it wasn’t on Richberg.
We can’t run screens? Jesus. Staley having a bad game.
5 penalties for 71 yards at the start of the second quarter. Wow.
Kittle with a little redemption.
Refs are in red today.
about fucking time
Touchdown!
There you go.
Need to use Juice in the passing game more, said that last week too, runs good routes and awesome hands.
Juice got a TD and a PI, more O production than any other player so far. Kittle is potentially awesome, has to quit the drops.
Who wasn’t holding their breath until he secured the ball. Also, wait 20 seconds after the TD for any late flags.
Think Kittle drops that pass?
That’s one of their best plays always,Jusy sneaks out nobody ever picks him up and he scores!! Unreal how many times he’s left alone on that!!
Yeah, teams seem to forget about him in the passing game all the time.
Time for the D to step up. Converting on 2nd and 26 was pretty huge.
So much for that
It’s a game now. We drew blood.
Colbert sniffing the daisies out there.
Looked slow and still hurt last week too.
Zero pass rush yet again. Buckner is being held in check.
Bills 24 Vikings 0. In Minny. LOL
Unreal.
Can’t argue with that.
Pffffffffffffft.
Give the points right back, we have no speed on our D line. No way he should have got away
Non existent pass coverage again.
Just got to stay within a TD at this point. They fold late.
I hope.
Wow. Throw to the sticks.
Sll we need is a punt return for a td now.
D has to get them off the field this drive to have a chance in this game
Garoppolo looking a little gun shy. He wasn’t under pressure yet and still checked down.
Look at the time he gets. We might as well be on the sideklines.
That’s not a fucking penalty. Terrible call.
Foster pulled up and barely touched Mahomes. Bad call.
wow. We have a long way to go apparently. This is asinine.
Unreal. 100 yards in penalties in the first half.
But none of this is on the coaching. Unprepared every week for the different offenses, penalties galore and constant missed tackles and coverage assignments.
Niners might give up 50 today.
A complete nut squashing
Yeah. Well. So much for this game. I knew this early season schedule was going to be rough, but I didn’t think we would look this awful. The defense is offering no resistance.
Nobody said that, John.
Did the Niners really prepare for this game??
I underestimated my final score of 42-27 Chiefs looks to be more..
Now Breida is hurt. LOL
Ha ha. He’s out for a year.
That’s laughing at the football gods, not Breida’s injury. This team can’t catch a single break right now.
Breida is out for the year. Fuck.
Brieda hmmy. Wonderfrellingful
It looked like his knee went. Maybe not.
I guess it’s Raheem now.
