Trent Dilfer: "Chiefs are an average team and Shanahan will want 50 points"

[UChieffyBugger]

"They won't be able to stop the run AND the pass"...

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you "NFL expert" Trent Dilfer HERE

I should add that he also said the Titans would beat us so maybe we should be happy right now?!! .

I'm not bothered about media talking heads picking the Niners if they want, but this guy just seems utterly ignorant. Didn't we have a better scoring defense than the Niners in the regular season If I'm not mistaken? Haven't we faced and BEATEN three of the best running teams already In the Ravens, Titans and the Vikings? And who have they beaten exactly?

New Orleans
Green Bay twice
Seattle once
Vikings

We have beaten

Ravens
Patriots
Vikings
Houston
Titans

When you look at the facts we've beaten more playoff teams and had way more challenges having to deal with good defenses, good offenses and both young and experienced QB's who were either decent pocket passers or could cause issues outside the pocket with their legs. We played tough running games and also teams who had great pass catchers aswell...so we've seen it all really.

Are the Niners any scarier than the Ravens? I don't think so and the records back that up. But who have the Niners played that were anything like the Chiefs? Not a single team imo.

But they still have a JAG at QB. Shanahan knows that as well as anyone.

They might be a contender, but I don’t think they’ll ever get over the top with that QB.

They’ll waste an elite defense with a JAG at QB...we know that one all too well.

9ers went from SB contender to lottery pick when Alex Sm....Jimmy Garflopalow blew out his knee last season.

They are just waiting to fold like their head coach.

It definitely seems like losing was unimaginable to them. They give off a vibe of being crushed by the loss. That can either break them or motivate them. I'm not sure I'd bet on Jimmy G bouncing back but Nick Bosa is a monster.

If it was any other AFC team and the Niners are up 20-10 with 7 minutes left, the Niners win the game. They ran into a buzzsaw with the most explosive offense in the league. The Niners just need KC to get knocked out by another AFC team.

As if Mahomes was ever going to lose by more than 7

[FlaChief58]

So, he sucked as a football player and sucks at evaluating talent and predicting games. I'm shocked I tell ya

The Chiefs are pretty much always going to be a top 2 seed in the AFC with Reid and Mahomes. Given the state of the AFC for the foreseeable future, that sounds like wishful thinking for the 49ers.

I think one of the issues with the 9ers in the superbowl, was that it seemed like they bought too much into the media hype.

Celebrating after picking off a QB is one thing, but to have the entire team running down to the endzone to pose for pics like they had already won the game made them look foolish.

I am glad our guys didn't let the moment get into their heads and stayed cool.


Ohh yeah, I forgot to add...

But getting there with a QB like Jimmy G again is far from a sure thing. Everything went right for them this year. They got healthy and peaked at the perfect time. What are the chances that happens again?

They don’t have a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round pick this year. Not to mention Armstead and Ward are free agents.

Im so glad the 49ers did that. It makes the win that much better. They felt like they were on top of the world and then that all changed within 30 minutes. They went from pure bliss to blubbering whiners and the head coach was one of the worst. Stupid ****img idiots thought theyd stop PMII from winning the biggest game in the world? Yeah good try queers.

Well they have almost as little cap space as us and they have zero draft picks from rounds 2-4. They shot their load with trades like Houston and LAR did and came up short.

If Seattle does anything but get worse, then San Fran sure isnt winning that division. Hell if Arizona can improve just a little bit, then I can see the 49ers finishing last in the division. The 9ers wont be as healthy next year as they were this year and even if they do get into the playoffs they're not gonna luck into a SB appearence

[O.city]

9ers had some injuries this year for sure though. They're pretty well built for the next year or two for sure.

Jimmy ain't great, he's probably a better looking Alex Smith, so they're capped IMO.

I gotta say though, Bosa impressed the hell outta me. That dude is an animal.

Thought about this yesterday; I think the 9ers play better WITH (healthy) Alex Smith than they did with Grapes.

Also, yes, Bosa is incredible.

They have a lot of young talent under contract. Will be interesting to see how it goes. They lost close games this year but also won a bunch of close games. Who knows how that will go next season.
