It’s going to be a wild two weeks on this site for chiefs fans.
NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread
- Thread starter deadeyededric
- Start date
With the way the Niners were coached and played today I like the way this looks for the Chiefs.
I'm not sure why Shanahan was so stubborn, but he constantly run MCM with little success on 1st, which put Purdy in obvious passing downs on 2nd and 3rd. The Lions ran press coverage tbe entire game and some combination of pressure, predictable downs, and Purdy himself made Brock look very uncomfortable in the pocket. He was constantly shuffling his feet, even when he didn't need to, which seemed to alter his accuracy. Early in the season I didn't notice this nearly as much.
Detroit controlled the line of scrimmage for most of the game. On offense they ran at will and neutralized the pass rush, while on defense they shut CMC down and made Purdy uncomfortable. If not for player gaffes Detroit would like be the opponent.
The Chiefs have a much better defense than the Lions and a much better QB. If they can control CMC on 1st down Purdy will have a tough time against KCs back 7. Likewise, if the Chiefs can run some and not let the ends go wild, Mahomes will shell the middle of the field. The Niners zone was Charmin soft up the middle and they did little in the way of adjusting.
Maybe the Niners find a way to regain their form but they looked off. Right now Chiefs fans should feel good about the matchup.

Not sure if talked about, but guessing Toney is done for.
Probably a good breakdown, but it is simple for the Chiefs.
Turnovers, dropped passes, and penalties defined the regular season. Play a clean game and Chiefs are the best team in the NFL.
That is surprising. SF defense looked like crap and Chiefs will be the best D that SF has faced since the Ravens (who destroyed them). Guessing this is a ton of dumb money and the sharps will move this to the Chiefs.
Feels like you have to take the over at that doesn’t it?
I would take the over. I'm thinking 50 or so. The line started -2.5 SF so a lot of money is going on KC
Going to feel really weird to be cut right before the Super Bowl......
I'm off social media so I really have no idea why people don't like her. Seems like a perfectly fine person to me.
We are a long way from me talking myself into Tyler Thigpen, that's for sure.
Toney has played his last game with the Chiefs, they have been rolling without him, no sense making a change now.
Eh, I expect that changes once all of thr excited and overzealous Niner fans stop with the excitement bets for their team.
Would be kind of shocked if the Chiefs aren't favored by game time.
I still think though a lot of people are skewed by the Chiefs dropping games in the regular season and them not playing great.
The Niners were outplayed
and outcoached, only winning (at home) off several individual Lion miscues and plays of fortune.
In the POs the Chiefs have been the better team and their players/staff know how to prepare and handle this moment.
We'll see. Ultimately it's about where rhe betting action lies.
I was just about to post this: Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney accuses team of lying about injury and says 'I'm not hurt' - Yahoo Sports
Well technically his hands must be injured as he can't catch a ball or line up onside either. I doubt he is back next season anyways.
What an idiot. The Chiefs are tryin to be nice to him rather than just saying he’s inactive because he sucks.
