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 
Piss poor tackling
KC looks to get the over by themselves.
Someone needs to get ito every defenders face at the half
Useless play there. Go to the end zone.
Another useless play. This does nothing.
Down 4 scores still. And now Sherman is done. This season is wasting away before our eyes.
The tackling had better get a whole lot better in the second half
Otherwise the score can easily be 70-… whatever
ALl these drafts for defensive helpo and we still can’t rush the paser. I knew we should have gone after Khalil Mack when we had the shot,
What the hell happened to Sherman?
He was limping badly off the field at the half. 2 guys were helping him. Didn’t see what happened,
A Smith 214 yards at the half against Green Bay
Sherman has a calf injury.Probably won’t return, doesn’t matter anyway sit him
A tackle, it was a tackle
Wow. We stopped a dump to the right.
Our interior line does nothing. No pressure at all up the middle.
yay. 10th penalty.
10the? Is that all?
Wow. Through no fault of our own we stop KC. KC has the propensity to get soft in the 2nd half,
Just like Stanford lat night, we’ll come back!
Breida back!
Fuck, Jimmy. You can’t miss that.
