The 49ers game will be THE breakout game of the Scott Pioli era.

[Hammock Parties]

The stars are aligning this weekend for a watershed moment in the Scott Pioli era.

The 49ers, and NFC teams in general, rarely play well at Arrowhead when the Chiefs are competitive. We're 2-0, our defense is kicking ass, and Alex Smith sucks. Arrowhead is going to be rocking and we're healthy and on the upswing, with room to improve.

Matt Cassel, Dwayne Bowe, Jamaal Charles, Chris Chambers, Tony Moeaki, Thomas Jones, Dexter McCluster, Tamba Hali, Eric Berry...they're all lying in the weeds, waiting to have their breakout game. If two or three of those guys go off, we win by 14+. If four or five of them explode, we win by 21+. If more than that go off, holy shit, look out.

I think most of them are going to go off.

We're going to rip off the 49ers' heads and shit down their necks.

This game will be over by halftime.

Complete and total domination. This ass kicking will be on par with the 41-0 shellacking we laid on San Francisco in 2006. It COULD even approach the 44-9 destruction of 1997.

You heard it here first.

We're a powder keg, and this week we EXPLODE.

Croyle steals Cassel's job Mike Vick style.

What in Croyle's entire career could possibly make you even think of typing this?

Unless, you are an aspiring comedian, in which case well played sir, well played.

If the Niners don't turn the ball over, the Chiefs don't have a chance. They will be keying on Gore so much that they will get burned by the play action. The secondary has been giving up too many big plays. If they double team Davis, the WRs will burn them.

Cassel will have even less time to throw than usual. It's going to be very tough to sustain drives running the ball.

Special teams and defense will be the keys for the Chiefs again.

What I'm concerned about this game is the coverage skills by the linebackers, or middle of the field in general, have been very poor, and I fear that Vernon Davis is going to have a big day.

The definition of non-ugly is too subjective. Either they win or lose, which one?

If the Chiefs lose and play a competitive game, I will consider it progress. I didn't expect them to beat SD and SF based on what I saw in the preseason. If they get blown out, then this team is not as far along as some may think.

This.....With playing competitive being that we finally see a passing game and Cassel isn't overthrowing 3yd routes in the flats. If our passing game doesn't show any improvement whether we win or lose I don't know if I'll feel any better about this game. A win would be great but again with no help from the offense just means that eventually we'll get the crap kicked out of us if we can't get into the endzone.

I remember the last time we were dominating and had the game won by halftime....we lost.

The 49ers haven't won here in almost 30 years. It won't be all that surprising if the Chiefs beat them.

Just looking at some of the stats (assuming I’ve interpreted them correctly)…
I think the Niners (like everyone else) will force the Chiefs to pass. If they get ahead of us by 10+ points, I think it’s over.

Some things that stood out to me:
Niners have only been allowing 63yd rushing per game; where our offense has been getting 139 per game.
Chiefs are 30th passing yards at 117yds per game and the Niners defense is 14th allowing 201yds per game.

Our Offensive 3rd down conversion rate of 23% is 30th in the NFL. Niners D is 25th in allowing 3rd down conversions at 25%. Pretty good opportunity there for the Chiefs to hopefully extend some drives; flip field position; rest Defense , and obviously try to score some points.

Chiefs Defense is 6th in 3rd down stops; Niners O is 28th in 3rd down conversions at 25%.



Everything else is pretty even:
Chiefs Rush D is 9th with 91yds per game allowed. Niners are 19th in rushing with 95 yards per game
Chiefs Pass D is 25th with 253yds per game allowed. Niners are 10th with 248 pass yards per game.
Chiefs allow average of 14pts; Niners Offense is 24th in scoring at 14pts per game.

*I think I interpreted the 3rd down Defense stat correctly

I heard that after their first game the O-line had a meeting and took it upon themselves to give AS protection. That may be why he did look good. If their O-line means business, then WE nad not they are in for a long afternoon.

Exactly what I thought reading the post. But I didn't say anything.

[Hammock Parties]

Ass kicking is not defined by score, but rather the asses kicked.

I think we can all agree 44-9 featured a more brutal brand of football. Especially as it came against a more talented team.
