How to score on Chiefs Defense?

KC run D is ranked 26th... make them focus on trying to stop our running game, then unleash the play action passing attack from hell on them

Use the same formula we used the past two games. Run, run and run some more. The vikes and Packers couldn't stop us, so I doubt the chiefs Will either.

The middle of the field will be so open all game if we can run the ball. A little bootleg to get some easy passes will work too.

Punch them in the mouth. Run very heavy. It's really the best formula to win. I don't think their run defense is that great. Plus it keeps Mahomes on the sidelines where he belongs. People complain about the Jimmy G stats. It's not that he can't do it. He can. I just think our best chance to win is this forumula. Bring in an extra offensive linemen and a huge TE like Toilolo if they stack the box. I'd say still run at them anyway. I think we can for #1. And for #2 it's our best formula to win this game.

This is the weakest d easily we have faced all playoffs

Adjust to whatever KC is doing. If they load the box, then pass. If they play pass , run. I do think it would be reasonable for KC to open up expecting the run, the same play they have seen 89 times in the last two 9er games. So pass on or first play. Kyle is way past astute enough to know what they are playing so he will know exactly what to do. IF we get up some, then i would expect us to run crazy...but if the chiefs get up, then we might have to catch them 1st and then downshift into run game.

Here's a better question. Assuming we win the toss, do we go D or O first? Usually we go D first, getting the ball handed to us as we leave halftime. Question is do we really want to encourage mahomes to score first? I don't think so. Hence, i suspect we take the ball if we win the toss. Sure would be nice to go into halftime , up by some.

There are just two questions here.

1 . Can our DL and front 7 stop mahomes? If so, game over. If not, then game on.

2. Can our O run on KC like we did on MN and G B.? If so then we just run them ragged.

Our trend has been to defer until after halftime. Here's my question.
1.) Does Shanahan trust the defense to go out and stop Mahomes on the opening drive of the SB?
2.) Do you send out Jimmy G and the offense to go try and score?

I think he defers the coin toss as always and sends out the defense and we live with the result of the first drive. If Jimmy has to go out and respond to a FG or TD so be it, as he will have a moment to settle in on the sidelines and gather himself. I expect that KC will be looking for us to be in a run heavy gameplan, and Jimmy can burn them for it if they bring heat to stop Mostert. Go with whatever is working, if Jimmy is on fire let him throw, etc.

Pass pass Run run run run run run run run.

Shanny will stay true to form and take whatever the defense gives him. I'm hoping we don't get in a situation where we have to play from behind. If it is close or the Niners remain ahead, I expect Shanny to keep them on their heals with a balanced attack / semi -run heavy.
