🏆 SUPER BOWL LVIII PREGAME THREAD - SF 49ERS vs KC CHIEFS 🏆

Turnovers have been a big factor in all of KCs losses. Denver Philadelphia and Bills in the
regular season won, because of that. 49ers have to force the turnovers and avoid committing them too.

Hope our Oline wears red colored gloves to blend nicely into the Chiefs jerseys 😉

This would matter if Refs called holding in big games like the superbowl.

Events are so expensive around LV lol

Most games allowing < 28 points in NFL history (playoffs included)

1. 2023 Chiefs - 20
2. 2000 Ravens - 19 🏆
2. 2002 Buccaneers - 19 🏆
2. 2005 Steelers - 19 🏆
2. 2010 Packers - 19 🏆

The 17-game season helps KC here but...

Such a random f'ing stat. 28 points isn't some epic predictive threshold. Throw this in the trash!

It looks pretty predictive to me.

I'd need to see the full list thru 18, though.

That means 60 minutes of perfection.
and as good as they are, I don't think they are ready for what they are facing.

Because the Niners will chip away at them, and steal stuff and break stuff.
And in so doing, doubt and frustration will cumulatively weigh upon them.

I really strongly believe our playmakers will make more plays, and our defense will knock the Chiefs off their game just enough to earn that damn Lombardi.

Really?? They just beat a team that is better than the Niners.

That's not how football works. Match ups, human error, refs, and the direction the ball bounces plays no insignificant part.

Does it look like Kittle is limping there? I know he is dealing with a toe injury.

He was limping all through the NFCC. Especially after plays - he's def playing through some stuff. Just about everyone is at this point but if you watch the film, he def seemed like he was hurting.

Im pulling for you guys to win it all!

I'm not someone that bets against players like Mahommes/Brady - they just have a knack for doing the unexpected. I don't have faith that this defense will do it's part, so I think the offense will have to ball out, which I have faith in that.

essentially I see this being a higher scoring game than most anticipate. Chiefs will get theirs. It'll be important that our guys score too - which won't be easy on this chiefs defense but not impossible either. Need to really not lose sight of the run game.

If we lose, I'll be sad no matter how it happens. But if we lose the same way the Ravens did I'll be straight pissed for at least a month. There is no reason not to use up all of what CMC has left for the season in this game.

Kyle, please run the ball. Not running the ball when you clearly should is the one criticism haters still have on you.

Yes. But you said the Chiefs have to play a PERFECT game.

The Niners were a much better team than the Chiefs in LIV superbowl. How did that work out? Did the Chiefs play the PERFECT game?

I think playing the Ravens in the regular season is going to help Purdy and the 49ers. I think the Ravens and the Chiefs defense do similar things in the zone blitz area. Similar weaknesses too against the run game.

Our defense has to hold KC to field goals instead of touchdowns in the red zone. Slow them down and if we can get two or more scores ahead, then we just run on them at that point - and ball hog the game to the end. We can't let KC have the ball at the end of the game, we all know what Patrick can do.

Lol I have more faith Wilks will be more involved in eating a ham & deviled egg sandwich than creative schemes during the game lol. Maybe he will somehow ball out idk haha

Just seems like 1st quarter the opposing teams do whatever they want against our defense then if they feel like it..adjust some during the half lol. No urgency lol..they need to step UP
