Simple. Recency bias and Patrick Mahomes. That's all it is.
We haven't really played our best ball in postseason. Would be a shame if we go three playoff games without really showcasing what we can do when we put it all together.
You are correct in your assessment, however I choose to look at the upside of this..... We haven't played our best ball YET.
Exactly, we are capable of blowing the doors off any team, should we put it all together. We could stomp these guys, in DAL or PHI game fashion.
Really would love to see us play like we did against DAL and Philly! D-Line has to step up big, and O-Line has to block Chris Jones.
The team was on a mission against Dallas and Philly. They were locked in and wanting to prove a point. Obviously this game they should be even more locked in. I'll be disappointed if we lose and it's because of a lack of effort and energy. If the best version of the Niners show up, we win by 10+. I've been saying it all week

I really hope Brock shocks all the naysayers and Mahomes lovers and has a fantastic game with at least 4 TD passes, 0 INTs, over 300 yds passing, wins MVP and brings us Lombardi #6.

More good DVOA numbers to add to why the #49ers should be running the ball on Sunday:
— Akash Anavarathan (@akashanav) February 7, 2024
SF's offense is #1 in DVOA on first-down runs
SF's offense is #2 in DVOA on second-down runs
KC's defense is #25 in DVOA on first-down runs
KC's defense is #26 in DVOA on second-down runs
Kyle: Everyone is thinking to run the ball, I'll surprise everyone by passing instead.

Recency bias. Mahomes beat the mighty Bills (half the D on IR) and the unbeatable Ravens (playoff Lamar) whereas we barely beat the Packers and Lions.
No need to worry about it. If I were a non-9er fan I would probably feel the same. No big deal. Mahomes slays dragons. He does all thru the playoffs each year.
And, also not a big deal but our playoff examples had moments of weakness. But who cares. One game. Winner take all.
I still don't think we were "weak." I think we ran into two buzzsaws in GB and Detroit. GB was arguably playing some of the best ball in the league. At least top 4. And Detroit has been a solid team all year. Very sound football from them. I think we had a mini gauntlet but fans and the media say we "skated" by and survived like they were weak teams.

I agree with this sentiment. Both of those teams were dangerous when we played them. Additionally, we didn't play a complete game against either team, and yet, here we are. I believe that by this time Monday, we will acknowledge that the Niners saved their best for last.

Yeah but it you watch some of that first half tackling I think my dog does a better job chasing me around the yard. That tackling in spurts was downright embarrassing.

Perhaps Brock hit the panic button. He looked like he was going to throw up on camera on Monday.

Even though I respect Cam, I disagree with him. Here's what CJ Stroud said about Brock Purdy. Even @ClintStoerner seems to agree based on what he said on his show yesterday. Calling Brock Purdy a game manager when he leads the league in so many passing categories is simply bias. pic.twitter.com/TReeutKDb2
