Crazy thing is that John Lynch is normally the optimist of this duo. You can tell Lynch was a bit taken aback by Kyle Shanahan's statement. There is a great story in every morsel of this… https://t.co/nUkgQdWPLI

He can be a little dramatic cheerleader at times but I like him. Lombardi and krueg are my favorite to listen to. I think Krueg & Damon have a good "wake up" show they do. Only time o don't watch krueg is when he has dipsh!t Cohn on (aka DrEll).

All Pro guard Joe Thuney was inactive against Baltimore due to a pectoral injury, and there are already doubts about his availability for the Super Bowl.

Thuney was Pro Football Focus's highest-graded pass blocking guard, allowing just two sacks on 809 pass-blocking snaps.

In the AFC title game, Nick Allegretti started at left guard and allowed a team-high four pressures and one sack. However, he was still the team's highest-graded pass blocker on PFF.

Allegretti actually started at left guard for the Chiefs in Super Bowl 55, allowing seven total pressures in the loss to Tampa Bay.

– Willie Gay was a late scratch on Sunday afternoon due to his neck injury.

Gay originally suffered the injury against Buffalo in the Divisional Round and was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday last week before sitting out Friday's practice.

Considering he was a game-time decision on Sunday, there's a good chance Gay will be healthy enough to return in time for the Super Bowl.

– Kadarius Toney hasn't played since Week 15 due to ankle and hip injuries, but Toney claimed the injuries were not true in an Instagram Live broadcast after being ruled out on Sunday.

This isn't the first time Toney has claimed his health has been falsified. He made similar claims when he was with the New York Giants shortly before being traded to Kansas City.

According to the Chiefs, Toney was also held out of the game due to personal reasons following the birth of his daughter on Saturday.

Andy Reid refuted Toney's claims on Monday, and the team expects him to be on the practice field when they reconvene on Thursday.

– Charles Omenihu suffered a torn ACL in the AFC Championship Game and won't get to face his former team in the Super Bowl. He finished third on the Chiefs in sacks despite serving a six-game suspension to start the season.

George Karlaftis and Mike Danna combined for nine quarterback pressures in the win over the Ravens.

I'm just bumping my post so people can see this post I had - it's a good breakdown of the chiefs injuries.

Thank you.

I am willing to be Thuney does everything he can to get out there.

Gay being back doesnt help us.

Omenihu is loss for sure. Havent watched enough chiefs this year to know how much he plays.

I anticipate that Gay will play and he's good, he's fast. But anytbing wrong with the neck is a big deal - I just can't see him sitting for two weeks and not playing though.

i don't think Thuney will play. I saw reports he's already expected to miss the game and I don't think he would be much help playing with a torn pec - imagine trying to block armstead/Hargrave/Kinlaw with a torn pec… it would probably benefit us for them to do that. Lol

Dont torn pecs usually end a players season?

Charles Omenihu has been great with the Chiefs when has played.
11 games(1 start) - 7 sacks, 28 tackles, 11 QB hits. In the playoffs he has 1 sack, 3 tackles, 1 QB hit before tearing his ACL.

Sometimes I feel like I should make a channel or something - I have a ton of useless football knowledge cause I was always so obsessed with the 49ers history.

for example, before the lions game, I knew that the last time we played they won and we were up 24-7 at halftime and they stormed back.

When I was like 11, this old man that lives down the street from me used to let me come over and watch games with him. He would pay me to do his lawn. He had 49ers stuff EVERYWHERE. Turns out he played on that 1957 team - I remember him telling me the story about it. I became obsessed with the 49ers and nfl history a lot after that, how intertwined a lot of it is. It's probably a big reason why I want a superboel so bad. I want to be apart of the 49ers lore and have my own stories to share about "that season…"

The chiefs are missing some key players on their O and D line. They won't have their all pro G and the backup struggles and gives up a lot of pressure.

They're missing their best run stuffer Nnadi. Omenihu is out and he was HUGE for them.

it'll be so so disappointing if our D line can't get pressure. It'll be super disappointing if we allow their d line to crush Brock, because they don't have anyone "scary" but we should be able to double team Chris jones - the rest of their guys just play hard but aren't really talented.

im very optimistic we can win this game, especially with their run defense. We just need to dominate on the ground and grind them out - control the clock, and make them play from behind.

I am concerned about our D getting enough pressure. We shall see. It can't leak all over the place. Glad to see Chase and Bosa stepping it up some last game but we need then to be BEASTS out there

For some, but OL definitely need those pecs to be 100

I'm sure it depends on the severity but at this time of the season, yeah.

"Torn pectoral muscles typically take three to four months to recover from, though players who are able to rehab the injury in lieu of surgery can return sooner."

I am going to go with your guess that he doesnt play.

I think we can get pressure - I'm actually more concerned about stopping screens/outside runs. I'm terrified they're going to gobble us up on those. Idk what's going on but before this year - we were excellent at covering those.

we may need to take out Thomas and have Logan play his role. Leave demo/Mooney out there. They're way better at stopping those.

If Joe Thuney isn't playing we gotta make the most of it and bull rush Nick Allegrett all day.

Come On Javon Hargrave, this is what we have paid you for!!!

This is why we got you to the 49ers

For this one game.

DOMINATE
