you and the chiefs fan should both go outside and maybe play slap ass with eachother.
I love the confidence and the suggestion. You guys talk about CMC, Deebo, Bosa, Kittle and all the other All pros on your team but in the end it all comes down to Purdy and how he plays on Sunday. He may be the second coming of Montana or he may shrivel up like a cat turd on a sunny day. When he has to figure out the crazy looks and mad pressure Spags can bring. As much as you want it to be about something else it is not. CMC and Deebo could have 300 yards between them, but if Purdy plays like he did against the Ravens you guys will lose. Collectively your receivers are better than any unit in the NFL, but individually they are not as good as what Sneed and McDuffie have shut down all year. The issue for us is your 3and 4 options. Making him uncomfortable will be the goal.
On February 7, 2021, Mahomies shriveled up like a cat turd on a sunny day. It can happen to anyone. He also shriveled up in the week 16 loss to the Raiders. He's also had numerous 3 int+ games in his career so far. It happens to the best of them. Also remember that Purdy is the highest rated QB against pressure this season. I still, whenever I think of Purdy, think about his first real action against the Dolphins in 2022 as a rookie when they brought the house, and he absolutely throttled them. You can get him with pressure but he can also dish it out right back.
This is a hard matchup to figure out considering the 49ers' woes on defense all season yet they collectively have more sacks and ints than the Chiefs and total yards allowed is pretty much the same. Chiefs had to go through a gauntlet to get to the SB (save vs the hapless Dolphins) but they were helped by poor decision making by Allen and Jackson do have to credit Spag's defense. 49ers sieve of a defense put them in precarious positions against both the Lions and the Pack but they puckered up and powered through in the end.
Both teams had quite a bit of luck happen to them in these playoffs. Bills kicker missing that fg. Flowers fumble. Immaculate reception catch by Aiyuk. Reynold's fingers turning into butterfingers.
Dam - tough game to predict.
