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.
Forty Niners 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.
