OT: NFL 2019

[laker]

If I knew how to add a poll, I'd put one up asking "Who do you want to win the Super Bowl this year?"

2019 PPG:

SF: 30.2
KC: 29.8

They put up 48 in New Orleans. They're just really smart about how they run their offense and don't go for big plays. No need to air it out if you dominate the ground. The game will be decided on whether or not SF's front can get to Mahomes.

I do think it has the potential to be a very good game.

The Chiefs offensive numbers have been skewed by injuries--notably Mahomes for most of three games--and by the fact that the defense is better than last year, so they've not had to score as much. Despite scoring a touchdown less on average than last year, their average margin of victory in the regular season was almost unchanged (9.0 last year, 8.8 this year). The Niners may be the toughest defense the Chiefs have faced, so it will be a good matchup.

The Chiefs D has shown some susceptibility to the run, so the Niners certainly provide a challenge. OTOH, nobody expected them to hold Henry to 70 yards Sunday.

I'm going for KC, can't root for the Forty Whiners. 20 years ago I'd never have said that when Seattle was in the AFC West. It was hard enough rooting for KC to win their final game one year to give Seattle a playoff spot.

Even with Sanders, Carappalo relies on Kittle to bail him out all the time.

Lot less than last year. Without Jimmy G, he WAS the offense. Jimmy's made him significantly more efficient.

This was the case before Sanders got there. But withim and Samuel, they can take pressure off of Kittle.

Mostert went off cause it wasn't Coleman (shoulder) in to go off. Packers looked like they wanted to get demolished on the line.

Yea that oline was MOVING people!

If you can stop Kittle, you can pretty much take out San Fran's passing game. Not sure why Mostert went off yesterday.

As I was saying...


I should have put up some money. :)

Yes, you should have.

Definitely going to be a contrast in styles. Not
convinced the Niners will be able to lumber to enough points to match the Chiefs.

Go, Chiefs! We've got a VSU receiver on the practice squad, although I saw a picture of him dressed out with the other receivers a couple of weeks ago. So who knows! Hope he gets a chance to play.

[IronOre]

Go Chefs, I guess.
