    Good lord.  49er fans have to be wretched, and inconsolable.

    49ers up 10 to zip.    Pretty dull, so far.

    On the Puka comment about video games.

    I am old, so i remember all the stories about the 70s Raiders and such.  And stories about Babe Ruth,  Billy Martin and Mickey Mantle and such.  Lawrence Taylor.  Ya know.  Players just getting drunk the night before games, etc and so forth.

    But i wonder if such types of players exist anymore?   I dunno if that kind of conduct could exist in today’s NFL.    I suppose video games are about as bad as it gets nowadays.

    Some of us would like to see Shanahan suffer another post-season meltdown.   SF blew the ten point lead against the Rams in the NFC title game.  They blew a ten point lead to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.   And of course the Falcons blew the 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl.

    I would like to see SF blow a 31 point lead in this game.

    Does that make me a bad person?

    Heard a snippet on the radio, i thot was funny.   Some Raider official was talking about how this super bowl is a nightmare for the Raiders.   The Raiders absolutely hate two teams: Chiefs, San Francisco.

    The game that included the famous Jackie Smith endzone drop. I was pulling for the Steelers (though to this day I feel bad for Smith).

    Travis Kelce was drafted in the 3rd round.

     

    George Kittle in the 5th round.   Not bad, eh.

     

    Fred Warner – 3rd round.

    Deebo – 2nd round.

    Purdy – 7th round

    49ers have 8 players on the team who are 1st rounders. (counting the backup QB)

    I dunno if that is a lot or about average, or what.

    Aiyuk, Armstead, Bosa, McCaffrey, Trent Williams, Kinlaw, Ferrell, Sam Darnold

    “The key thing is he’s just real and he’s genuine,” Gilman said. “People who have that genuine connection, that’s leadership — that’s real — that people can actually connect to. And in a team setting, that’s how you build a culture. That’s how you win over a locker room of grown men. You need that. You need someone to also to hold you accountable, at the same time be like, ‘Hey bro, I got your back.‘”

    Well that is tricky, isnt it.   ‘Hold you accountable’ while also ‘having your back’

    They are at a very interesting point in their ‘team-building’ challenge, aren’t they.

    I got interested in the Chiefs defense this year.  It always seemed to me, KC had a mediocre D and relied on Mahomes and that offense.   So, this year, obviously their D has been at least as important as the O.   And ive been wondering how they built this D, and what makes it good, etc.

    The Chiefs, btw, have drafted edge rushers with their late-first-round-picks each of the last two years.

    Interesting fact: “…Kansas City ranks fifth in total defensive DVOA and EPA/play. If the season ended tomorrow, they would be the best Chiefs defense since 2015 and just the second group to finish top-10 since 2000…..things get even more impressive when you take a look at the Chiefs’ ledgers. Kansas City has the third-least money spent on defense in the league. The two teams below them, the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals,are 27th and 31st in defensive DVOA, respectively. It’s even more impressive when you realize that Chris Jones and Justin Reid make up $39.5 million of their $83.3 million defensive spend…”

    This is exactly what i thought when i watched the extended highlights of the Chiefs/Ravens game.   First time I’ve seen a pundit say it though.  Almost all the pundits just blamed the Baltimore OC for not running the ball more.

    Breer says Spags clogged all of Lamar’s running lanes with a kindof fake blitz-ish-ness.  They dared Lamar to beat them in the air.  And he couldnt do it.

    Albert Breer on an Eisen vid, quoted Spags.

    Spags said this about the KC defense: “This is the deepest well of smart players that ive ever had in my career”

    Interesting take by Baldinger.   Sez Purdy throws INTs because Shanahan likes to attack the middle of the field ‘the way Martz did with Kurt’

    I will be rooting for the KC Chiefs, even though I am tired of them.

     

    Yup.

    I think i saw that the 49ers were favored by a point or so.    I dunno how you make Mahomes, Kelsey and that defense an underdog.

    So the Ravens only handed the ball to RBs six times, i guess.   The pundits are all talking about the playcalling.     That ‘does’ seem a bit strange.  Six runs?

    I dunno.  Maybe Harbaugh just put the game on Lamar.

    One thing i noticed that i havent seen discussed, was the way Spags’ defense contained Lamar.   I mean, the chiefs passrushers got pressure, but they ALSO were extremely lane-savvy if thats a term.   They were playing games that Lamar was not able to figure out.   Reminded me a bit of what the Rams used to do to Russell Wilson back when he was in his prime.

    Maybe most teams dont have the talent to execute what the Chiefs D did.   I dunno.

    But it was somethin to see.

    Goff played well enough to be in the Super Bowl.

    I mean, ironically it was the rest of the team that let down Goff, not the other way around.

    Its a good matchup.   Seems to be a consensus that SF has the most stars of any team in the NFL and maybe the most overall talent player for player.

    But the Chiefs have the best defense and the best player on the planet.

    Two great coaches.

    I have no idea, but i lean toward that KC defense and that Mahomes guy.

    Its interesting that McVay loses so many coaches. I wonder if any other coaches have to replace as many assistants annually. Andy Reid? Belichick? Harbaugh? Shanahan? w v

    Part of it is that McV likes young, tuned-in, “I’m part of what’s new and hip” style offensive coaches. And as it happens, at the exact same time, that became a holy grail in the league. So…the league goes, why research coaches? McVay already did that for us. (But then you wonder why Mike LaFleur didn’t get any bites as a head coach.) Anyway. The position that sells for the Rams is qb coach. So far that has produced 2 coordinators and 2 head coaches in the last 7 years. (Olson is 61 and has been around, he’s not like the others).

    I would make a lousy assistant-coach-picker-outer.   I mean, i can just picture myself putting together a complete mish-mash of coaches.   A Defensive guy from the Belichex tree, a bit of Andy Reid here, and Harbaugh there.  A dash of Shanahan.   Maybe a special teams coach from the Bud Grant tree.
