Part of the reason why the run game is so good. Not to mention Juszczyk as well.

Yes. They can do it all
Niners will wear their traditional white jerseys / gold pants uniforms in the Super Bowl as the away team. They can petition to the NFL if they wanna wear their all-white unis though 
Yeah I was reading we are going to try and get the NFL to agree to let us wear the all white ‘94 throwbacks, but they made an exception for week 17 and are unlikely to allow itNiners will wear their traditional white jerseys / gold pants uniforms in the Super Bowl as the away team.

The white ones are amazing, but you've got 2 SB wins in the white/gold unis so I wouldn't be too sad if it doesn't get approved
To be honest I’d prefer the red and gold but I’m just so proud to be there that it hasn’t really sunk in yet. I’ve only seen us in 1 SB and that was 2012 which we lost. I’m so excited for this one.The white ones are amazing, but you've got 2 SB wins in the white/gold unis so I wouldn't be too sad if it doesn't get approved
Would prefer red and gold but do love the all whites!
This will be the 5th time that we've reached the Super Bowl since I started watching the sport in the 1985 season and am really excited! KC has a prolific offense but I am confident that our D is up to the task. I think our D is as good as their offense is, but that our offense is better than their defence.
I will be in Paris to watch it, as going over for the France v England 6 Nations game - so a fantastic day of sport!
Red and gold for me too... it's a bit like United with the red tops, just feels right.
Going away for the 6 Nations and you'll still be sober enough to watch the Superbowl?! That takes some self discipline
The way the NFL and 6 Nations dates work is great .... especially when the football season isn't giving a lot of joy. One ends, the other starts, happy days?
Good luck, all depends which France turns up?
This will be a tough tournament for us... changes in the team, still some key injuries and this is the season when we play 'blues at home, rest away' meaning we have Ireland and England away. Ouch.
I work in the Bay Area, and we sometimes get overtime escort details for the Niners and other college games around here as well.
The downside is all the fatal drunk crashes we had the other night after the game.

If it gets to a shootout, Chiefs will win.

The Kick-Off rule change sounds interesting. I’m a fan of keeping KO returns, but I like the idea a team maintains possession for a 4th & 15 attempt rather than hoping to recover an onside kick.
Just create an entire playbook dedicated to 15-yard pickups and you can keep Mahomes off the field for an entire game, sounds great!
Flying into Ft Lauderdale the day of the Superb Owl. Game tickets are nearly $5000 so feck that, but the energy in the bars and viewing parties around the South Florida area should be good. Not to mention the flood of 49er and KC fans walking about in red.
The 4th and 15 attempt is the exact change the Broncos proposed at last years owners meeting.
not sure how mans feels
Transporting the players by boat sounds cheesy as feck

He was doing so well too. Had just got his "100 days" badge.
FFS, this is James Brown/Apollo Creed in Rocky III type nonsense. Great scene, mind.
I remember days when a Bengals player was in some kind of trouble seemingly every week and think it was Bob & Tom had some kinda of day/week counter like this. "Well, it's Monday, so that of course means another Bengals player..."
I was in Nashville for the draft this year. Didn’t go to the actual event due to family commitments but the energy around the place was amazing. Was like half the city got turned into a festival. I imagine the Super Bowl will be similar
Not condoning Or justifying his actions of course, but I am certain Brown has CTE. People talk about how the Steelers were able to control him but I think it’s also down to deterioration over time. It’s not that he does crazy shit as loads of people do crazy shit. It’s actually more the circumstances around those incidents such as when, where, how erratic and different each are, that I think are tell tell signs. Typically even if someone does something crazy there is some tangible thought process where you can at least figure out what went through their mind to do it. It’s not like that with Brown, some of the things he does makes no sense. If it’s just your nature With no mental conditions you don’t go a decent number of years without any slip ups. And if you think about some of the hits he has taken, that one from Burfict in particular comes to mind, it makes sense.
In Shula’s case, he went on to also lose in 82 and 84.
True, was just putting his first win in the loop to show his trajectory.
Honestly, Shula should have got to the SB 2-3 more times with Marino. They choked the year NE went to the SB. Miami had manhandled Chicago that season and were a matchup nightmare for Ryan's defense. Got to a couple more AFC title games if memory serves, along with some bad seasons missing the playoffs by a distance.

Obviously you may well be right, but I can’t help thinking the bloke is just a dickhead.
Of course he is.

Only sensible decision I'm afraid, no team would've wanted him as their starting QB for next season anyway.
Let the HOF debate begin
Let the HOF debate begin
If he's a HOFer, so is Jim Plunkett.
He's also 7th on the all-time passing yards list. Of the 6 in front of him, at least 5 are already HOF'ers or will be in as a first-ballot. The 2 behind him are / will also be HOFers.
Different eras though. Many of the present HoF QBs would be in that 50,000-75,000 passing yard category had they played in the last 10-20 years. I cannot begin to image what the likes of Montana, Young, Staubach, Unitas, et al would have done in the 90s forward. Fouts and Marino were piling up numbers in a run-run-run era.
He's a .500 career QB who "fluked" two championship wins.
It's solely based on the SB wins not much else. As such, Jim Plunkett should be in.

I keep seeing this comment made - think people are underestimating the Niners.
Our strength may indeed be our D, but we are no slouches on offense. I read these stats that support this:
"The 49ers' offense is largely being ignored. “Kansas City’s offense, for all of it’s accolades, finished this year 3rd in the NFL in scoring. You know who finished 2nd? The San Francisco 49ers.”
"#49ers lost 3 times, all on the last play of the game The last 8 games SF's played have been against 7 teams with a combined record of 79-35. They're 6-2 with a point differential of plus-65. Could SF lose? Sure. But a blow out? Has anyone been paying attention at all?"
It shouldn’t be a question. He’s a two time Superbowl winner and MVP against one of the best dynasties in NFL history. Say what you want about his win rate, but when it came time to do it on the biggest stage, he showed up.Only sensible decision I'm afraid, no team would've wanted him as their starting QB for next season anyway.

A blowout can happen in any game, it's a fair point. Could be the Chiefs get blown it. We've seen it in the Super Bowl many times, most recently Denver getting smashed by Seattle. Not many, if any, predicted such against that offense.
The 49ers did have a third place schedule this season, but did go 5-2 against 5 teams that finished above .500 (played LA and Seattle twice - probably the strongest division this season). 49ers have the better defense overall despite giving up two more points.
The Chiefs had a first placed schedule this season, and went 4-2 against 6 teams that finished above .500 (none in their division - middle of the league division strength-wise). One of those losses was with Mahomes out injured (vs Green Bay); likely 5-1 with him there (they did beat Minnesota without him and lost to Tennessee on his return from injury). Chiefs have the better offense overall IMO. And no one is taking Jimmy G over Mahomes.
