9ers did at least have the #1 pass defense which in this match up is more relevant than overall defense in this case since Andy Reid hates running the ball more than he hates a salad for dinner.
As he should- running the ball is for fucking idiots and the Packers D in 2020.9ers did at least have the #1 pass defense which in this match up is more relevant than overall defense in this case since Andy Reid hates running the ball more than he hates a salad for dinner.
Yes I agree. And considering the Chief's haven't been able to run, it should be even stronger.9ers did at least have the #1 pass defense which in this match up is more relevant than overall defense in this case since Andy Reid hates running the ball more than he hates a salad for dinner.

So are you saying we have ALMOST the number ranked offense vs ALMOST the number one ranked defense? PE1 is gonna have a field day with this thread.
The Patriots have the #1 defense. Not the niners.

Nice technique you have for measuring defenses. Ok then. Looks like KC and SF are tied for the #1 defense.Are you sure about that one team couldn't win a game and the other is going to the Super Bowl.
I'd say it's probably because the extra week benefits the defense more than it does the offense.
But offhand I think I saw a stat where the Chiefs are 3-0 vs top 5 pass defenses this season so they might be able to buck the trend.
The big problem the Chiefs have is they might be too pass happy which plays right into what the 9ers defense does best. And if they struggle in the passing game that's going to play into what the 9ers want to do on offense and run the ball.
Really the key match up is the 9ers running game vs the Chiefs defense. The Chiefs offense vs the 9ers defense is probably going to be a win some lose some kind of deal so I think the 9ers running defense and the extent the Chiefs are able to stop it is going to be key.
If the 9ers run at will like they've done the past two games it could be a case where they simply don't have enough time to score enough points to win. 9ers pass defense is one of the best at not giving up explosive pass plays so they Chiefs are going to have to depend more on methodical drives than hitting huge plays to move down the field. Not that they won't hit those but probably not to the extent that will win them the game.
The Niners have a much, much better offense than the Patriots at every single position including QB and including the coaching.Are you sure about that one team couldn't win a game and the other is going to the Super Bowl.

The Patriots can't really overcome the reality that their offense was a decent over 30 slot receiver, an aged Brady, and a bunch of replacement value dudes or practice squad tier types. The Patriots' defense was not at all the problem.

If I were a betting man, I would put money on the niners winning this game. Although, I could see the chiefs track speed torching the niners secondary.
The pendulum might be swinging back from all passing to more balance, with the success of the Titans and Niners run games in the playoffs...As he should- running the ball is for fucking idiots and the Packers D in 2020.
i would guess the chiefs will put up right around 30 in this one. we'll see if the niners can score more.
Very possible as we see more teams like the Packers emerge and just not give a fuck and sell out more than we’ve ever seen teams do to stop the pass. Part of the issue is stopping the run is so ingrained culturally we haven’t really put nearly as much mental energy to stopping the pass.The pendulum might be swinging back from all passing to more balance, with the success of the Titans and Niners run games in the playoffs...
