Looking like acquiring WR Emmanuel Sanders was a solid move pre trade deadline. He's definitely changed the complexion of that offense.

Not so sure Jimmy G could rely solely on Deebo / Kittle to open things up downfield.

You're right that Jimmy G can't rely on those two guys. I think that is the reason the Niners looked into acquiring another weapon.

We should've traded for Sanders.

When we made ZERO moves for the deadline, that was enough to tell me that we weren't going to win the NFC. The team bought into their own hype and started believing the nonsense that they were good enough this year cause "we got robbed last year". The Falcons humiliated us at home following that. That game was something of a rude awakening, but it was the Niners game that really told the story about where our season was going to end.

I hope the Chiefs win, but I have my doubts. If I had to pick right now, I'm going with the Niners. I'd trust Shanahan before I trust Reid.

One thing about this matchup though; I expect the Chiefs to put up points. They remind me of the old Saints from between 2009 to 2011. They may struggle early on, but they'll get back into it and when they're firing on all cylinders, they'll score TDs on just 2-3 minute drives.

I think if the Chiefs can swarm Jimmy G and blitz him good enough, they have a chance. I don't expect the Niners front to be all over Mahomes like they were Rodgers, cause he's good at evading pressure.
