This game tonight is going to be a major, major glimpse into what we can expect.
You know that Harbaugh wants to ****ing shut down Alex Smith. He has a massive ego and needs to be right about replacing him.
The reverse is true for Alex.
If the Chiefs come out and get monkey stomped with Alex throwing a couple INTs, then we should probably be hoping for 8-8 at best. If they go up three scores on a Super Bowl favorite, then I think there's legitimate reason for hope.
I know it's only the second preseason game, but I think it's foolish to believe both of these teams aren't going in wanting to win. Teams have a lot of pride in their QB, and they will all want to win it for their guy.
At least the first half. As long as the starters are in, I think it's going to be regular season football.
