How to score on Chiefs Defense?

We have a 49ers vs KC offense thread, why not this one?

"I say we run it"
Control the clock and make it a battle of the trenches. Juice and Kittle run blocking as a tandem at the point of attack puts the 49ers run game over the top in this matchup. The 49ers run game isn't predictable like TEN's. Throw a ton of misdirection in and get those LBs heads spinning.

They won't be able to stop Kyle's running game Run that thang down their throats.

I would like us to keep running until a dc proves they can stop it. I would also like to see jimmy throw a couple bombs off of playaction when they start to cheat. You know, to completely demoralize them.

As long as we are finishing off drives with TDS, obviously it is preferred to run it and control the clock. I think our D will do well to help contain their offense, but don't believe it is realistic to think we will shut them out. Exchanging field goals for their TDs will make it tough to keep with that game plan. Really I think it will depend on how our D holds up to that high powered offense. At some point I see us either needing to air it out to finishes them off, or keep up. I actually like our chances as I think they sell out to stop the run.

Run until they stack the box, then make them pay over the middle with play action.

RUN THE DAMN FOOTBALL WITH MOSTERT!!!

Run, but not on 3rd and two, and not without occasional medium passes. Piece together long drives with TDs. Keep our defense (more than Mahomes) off the field. The fewer plays they have with longer rests between series will be vital.

As much as the Chiefs seem vulnerable in the run game, they can be very prone to giving up huge chunk plays in the air as well. I want to see Mostert go nuts, but I think there will be plenty of opportunities for big plays through the air as well.

One thing we gotta keep in mind is once the ball is snapped, the Niners will have to find ways to move the ball forward, while at the same time giving an equal amount of effort to make sure the Chiefs don't take the ball from them, and move it in the other direction.

Their "success" in stopping Tennessee is a bit overblown. They literally had 9 guys in the box and were totally selling out for the run. It just took Tennessee way too long to adjust. Not to mention Tennessee has more of a power run game, not nearly as versatile as our scheme. Even Green Bay was putting 8-9 guys in the box in the NFCCG, it didn't matter. We have 11 guys on offense on every play who are 100% committed to blocking their man until the whistle blows, and a coach who is locked in with his play calls and adjustments. We will absolutely be able to run the ball, and mix in enough passing to keep them honest and get chunk plays. I predict a 45/55 run/pass mix, with heavier run at first which will loosen up the zones behind the LB's and in front of the DB's. If the DB's start biting on play action (and I believe they will), then Jimmy G will be the Super Bowl MVP and end up with 300+ and 2+ TD passes.

Kyle gonna turn their LBs into paste.

This. I think the 1st play will be PA pass. KC's entire secondary is suspect except Mathieu Then back to pounding the ball. I can see the Chiefs coming in keying on outside runs. So we might kill them with inside zone runs

Run the counter on them, ala the browns game where the ENTIRE defense fell for the outside zone fake, and Brieda took it to the house

This is the one thing nobody has to worry about. I see 40+ points for the red and gold.
The chiefs just watch game film from 2 games in which the 49ers ran the ball 89 times.

PASS!!!!!!

Brieda is due for a big game
