I know Spags gets nuts in the playoffs and yeah, i think conventional wisdom is we'll see a lot of Cover 0.
Problem I have with Cover 0 against a QB who I don't trust to make a good throw downfield is the inevitable PI flag that we'll get hit with on the road. The corners will play physical and Lamar will toss a YOLO ball out there. If there's contact at all downfield, they're gonna throw the flag. If I'm Harbaugh, my hot for a cover zero would absolute have a vert as the first read. Whoever Williams/Watson are on out wide, just huck it out there and hope you draw the flag.
I don't love Cover 0 in this game. A lot of people seem to and many of them are quite well informed. I just think there's a ton of penalty risk in it.
