That is literally the entire argument. 7 minutes of elite QB play invalidates 53 minutes of run and stop the run

Shanahan tried to throw his way through the 4th quarter despite building a huge lead running the ball.

Goroppolo went 3-11 46 yards in the 4th quarter.

He had 20 attempts combined the 3 prior quarters.

The 49ers lost because they stopped running the ball and controlling time of possession.

And Mahomes won the game throwing the ball. You are completely delusional on this topic. Adieu.

But yet, we all keep arguing with him....

What's the spread gonna be this week vs. Pittsburgh?

Home team is usually a 3 point favorite against an even opponent. Steelers will be 1 point underdogs. I like the Bills here a lot. Steelers are a paper tiger. 2nd easiest schedule in the NFL. Bills by 6

History always favours top defences over top offences.

The Chiefs winning that game are the exception to the rule.

And it goes without saying I'd rather be the Chiefs and you'd rather be the 49ers. I think if you want to compete for a ring in this league, you'll need a franchise QB. If Ryan Tannehill gets a ring this year we'll revisit it

Understood. His YPC is unimpressive to me. 11 seasons under 4.5.

He has longevity and durability and a poop load of yards. I just dont think at any point in his career he was truly great. He was good or serviceable for a long time. He was/is a durable, dependable grinder

- jcragcrumple


He had one year that most years would've made him an All-Pro. His second year he had 1695 rushing, 61 catches for 485 yards, and 9 total TDs, but Larry Johnson and Tomlinson did better. A first ballot hall of famer and a guy that had 1789 rushing yards. He just happened to get a stupid 416 carries.

History forgot last year, the Chiefs were -1.5 and had a 65.5% chance of winning at kickoff.

But they have a great defense, surely it couldn't get that bad in 12 games.

πŸ‘

Squealers playing fake ball?

Our offense is very similar. Throw to one of 3 great receivers. Throw often.

Should be a great game. This one hurts as a season ticket holder. Kc , Seattle and now Pittsburgh.

I'd say josh kinda reminds me of big ben.
Minus the Josh's charity work, Bens rape allegations and mobility.
I think I heard a stat about not being sacked for a few games ?

We should run the ball 60 times and play great defense . Go with what's got us to 9-3

#1 scoring defences are 7-1 versus #1 scoring offences all time in NFL history.

The 49ers ranked 2nd in overall defence last year. The Chiefs were #1.

Close enough correlation for me.

Shanahan should just fire himself at the half of every Super Bowl he coaches in and his teams will be alright.

I’ll extend an olive branch here and say that I definitely think you need a competent defense to win in this league. It’s rare that a bottom 5-10 defense wins the super bowl

But there is just no statistical comparison in having an elite running attack vs even just a good passing attack.

Passing leads to more points. A lot more

Yeah no way I'd root for that guy to be my quarterback. He's a piece of poop. I do like Tomlin though. He's a hell of a coach. The fact that he was 8-8 with that team last year was very impressive. Gonna be a great primetime match-up

Yes they have, they have had 5 decent games in a row, numbers show it.

What they did to Justin Herbert two weeks ago was very impressive.

Last night they had the goal line stand prior to the fumble and caused two turnovers.

If the Bills defence keeps this up that will make them dangerous in the playoffs.

Tomlin being able to keep a cap on Antonio Brown for 7 years is amazing. They have been a force for years.

Players respect tomlin. He's a winner.

The bills controlled the clock with their passing game last night

Bunch of long drives over five minutes


And only 1 punt
