I thought it was over when they only got 3 on the first drive out of halftime. I thought they would make adjustments and play better but down 17 and with the way the Lions were moving the ball I thought they needed a TD to have a chance.

They better show up from the opening kickoff in the superbowl. They can't play the way played today and last week early in the game against the Chiefs.

Maybe your DC will tell someone to cover Kelce. It seems like nobody's thought of that yet.

He will get his. Gotta stop the run and pressure Mahomes and not let the receivers beat you. The past two weeks contain and tackling on outside zone runs have been absolutely abysmal.

The thing with those receivers is that they've been doing a good job of getting open all season. They just couldn't catch anything.
If the 49ers don't have a good plan for Kelce, then it's going to be a long day. Fortunately, Warner's like the only guy in the league who might actually be able to cover him.
With all the records he's setting, I've had to grudgingly admit to myself that he is the GOAT of tight ends.

He is playing really well.

I only recently learned that Detroit fans use S.O.L. for "same old Lions". There was a lot of that in the 2nd half, not to mention Purdy looking like the second coming of Steve Young out there.

I called Dan Campbell the crypto degen of NFL coaches on Nostr. Gambling is great when you win. I didn't mind the first 4th down try when you are up two touchdowns to try to bury your opponent but not taking the 3 points on the second one and allowing the 49ers to get even more momentum was a big risk.
