Nobody has given up but we'd be lying if how both teams played in the playoffs so far indicates the 49ers should be favored in this game.
Hopefully the week off for both teams ends up giving us teams we saw most of the season which was a Chiefs team which had issues on offense and a 49ers team that was red hot on both sides of the ball.
But honestly if you didn't have concern about Andy Reid outcoaching Wilks...then I'll have what you're having.
Agreed: my list of concerns:
1. Wilks and the defense
2. Run defense and discipline specifically
3. our offensive line especially with pass protection
4. Jake Moody
Spot on. Mahomes didn't break a sweat the last time he played us. IIRC, just abused the zone behind the LB's and in front of the S's all day. LB's were brutal in coverage. We just saw some of this with the Lions.
Agree, the last game against KC, those KC screens just took advantage of the wide 9 gap penetrating scheme. A possible counter is the Zone Blitz. I.e. one DLineman dropping back in zone coverage. Wilks is supposed to be an expert in those zone-rush schemes.
KC will do those Lions toss crack plays, it puts our DEs in a bind and could potentially open up our putrid pass defense to a play pass explosive call.
Chris Jones is going to have to be given the Aron Donald treatment. Kyle has to run the ball a lot in this game. I just hope Kyle doesn't outsmart himself like he did in 2019.
