Idk how I feel about this. Might turn up the first 2 days? Wtf

On this Charvarius Ward quote:

"This Super Bowl's in Vegas, so might turn up a little bit the first day or two out there — but after that really just lock in, focused."

It should be noted that Ward is just a great, honest, authentic interview. He's rarely up at the podium, so…

Heard that too. Hopefully he just meant going out for a nice chill dinner and watching cirque du solei then back home and in bed by 9pm

I posted this earlier in this thread but now that the topic has come up again:
start at 12:00 of this video. Sherm talks about going to the SB in MIA with a young 49er team, and "doing a little more than they should have" when it comes to the youngsters partying.

And during the 2012 SB, didn't it come out that Willis, Bowman and others went to strip clubs (which is fine) & partied to hard…
So dumb that these guys do that s**t before the Super Bowl.

Hey I get it, it's Vegas, however, work hard and stay on task during the week and before/during the game, and then party like an animal AFTER the f**king Super Bowl.

Watching JD breakdown and the run defense was just all over the place. Detroit ran formations that forced Oren Burks on the field and dude was horrible filling the correct gaps. We can bet KC will be running similar stuff forcing Burks to play. Might have to try something different on defense. And it wasn't just Burks. Greenlaw and Fred were making similar mistakes. And the effort was just awful

One thing I noticed in the DET game was that DET would sometimes use an OT as a TE. In other words they went big with six OL on the field, but the 49ers countered with their typical base personnel (3 LBs). That's advantage DET on run plays.

Watching some other teams it seems that there are clubs who run 5 across the DL but we really don't do that. Can we? Have we?

Most likely when you see other teams use a five man front, they are in their base personnel and they are a 3-4 defense. 49ers are a 4-3 defense so when you see the 49ers use a five man front, it's an infrequent change up of a play call.

will believe it when I see it.

Would be huge especially because it looks like Gay will play.

That same report has been on Bleacher Report. Locally nobody is giving up anything. Honestly if he is not close to full strength I would prefer he didn't play. Creed will shift over and help. He is a tank at center.

Yeah I don't like the fact that a guy is hurt but I wouldn't mind their o line not being at full strength. Hahaha isn't your center a stud? I'm pretty I've read that he is.

Well we were hurt in 2019. And again in 2012. So the football gods are having some mercy on us this time. 🙏🙏🙏

That's why I keep saying this may be the best chance at winning it all that we'll ever see. From the talent level assembled to the overall health of the team, and the state the chefs are in now. Have to take advantage of this perfect storm of opportunity.

This is about the best assessment I have seen on here. The Ravens and Chiefs are very similar on defense. I do believe they have a couple players Hamilton and Roquan that are better than anyone we have. But as a unit I believe we are better at the rest of the positions especially if Gay is at close to 100%. It will come down to which team can force their will on the other. I guess we will find out. this is a Legacy game for both Quarterbacks. One is trying to continue is high level legacy and one is trying to write his. Should be a good one.

I'm half and half on that honestly. If you have two good drafts in a row, I think your superbowl window opens up, or conversely stays open. Easier said than done of course.

Food for thought. People have said, for much of the year, "Wilks just ain't DeMeco or Saleh".

Well, the last time the Chiefs faced the 49ers under Ryans, they had 6 straight TD drives, put up 42 on the defense and the 49ers had their worst DVOA performance since 200.

Under…

interesting that the last time Mahommes was sacked 5+ times was against wilks. He is good with coverages, it's his specialty, so maybe he has tricks up his sleeve! I hope so!

I don't know how much we can take away from a game 6 years ago in Mahomes first year as the starter. The Cardinals also lost that game 26-14 and Mahomes completed 21/28 (75%) of his passes with 2 TDs, so it isn't like it was some defensive masterpiece by Wilks.
