Not that anyone should have any confidence with this defense against KC but hearing Bosa say they felt helpless out there on D for most of the game is really discouraging.

DET has some good O players,
we won the game, we basically pitched a 2nd half shutout

Agree. Laporta, St, Brown, Montgomery, Gibbs>>>>>Pacheco, Kelce, Rice
But, Mahomes>>>>>>>>>Goff

Mahomes trumps all of them combined. Kelce is TE 1A or 1B in the NFL and Pacheco is very good. This offense will be a lot tougher than Detroit or Green Bay simply due to Mahomes.

Goff with an absolute array of weapons is more of a threat than god himself with an old tight end, a promising rookie and a solid yet small running back.

This is way less of a challenge for our defense, period.

Lol Mahomes trumps everything Detroit has.

the 49ers cruised to the Superbowl last time in 2019 with their running game, always playing ahead, and never having to come from behind.

it's been the opposite journey to get back this time around. Ironically, the 49ers are more well-equipped and better suited for a rematch than last time, as a result.

2019 Defense was insane. No one could get by during the season. You might say we have a better squad on paper this year but the outlier has to be coaching. We are totally underperforming. I hope Kyle steps in and says look Wilks time to chat. Don't f**k this up. Get these guys ready.

Until you actually start looking at statistics…like AT ALL. Detroits offense was A LOT better and Goff, frankly, was also better.

Mahomes just had a straight up Mediocre season. But go ahead, keep up the ball gargling.

Yeah Mahomes is the equalizing factor. He won't be missing wide open receivers the way Goff did.

Are we playing contain or trying to get him down?

Can't be predictable, got to do both to just slow him down. I don't think you can stop him, you have to outscore him.

One more to go...We need to come out playing from the beginning. If we come out flat against KC like we did against GB and Detroit, we're not going to get it done...

Agree, this 49er offense is loads better than the 2019 49er offense. I think, overall, this 49er defense - while weaker at DLine, is a bit stronger at the DB's with Wilks coaching up the DB players. At least I think so. In other words, we can score on the KC defense, and maybe we can do a better job of slowing down that KC offense.

Raiders pummeled him in KC, so there's a chance.

Last time we played the Chiefs in the SB we had a championship defense and if we had even a serviceable QB instead of porcelain statue prime time choker Gaffathrow, we would have another SB trophy.

This time the defense is the weak spot and we will have to hope the Offense finds a way.

Mahomes will drop at least 28 points on this D without much trouble. We will have to score in the 30s.

Yeah, totally agree. 49ers have to come out like the Lions did, and then don't let up in the 2nd half. Lions really did a number on the 49ers in that first half. Not going to lie.
