Should be a good one! Let’s go Niners!!

Chiefs 33-27

I'm rooting for the red team.

Who else is looking forward to an entire week of Mahomes interviews?

Booked my flight to Miami this morning just in case. It'll be a fuuuuuun weekend.

the only fun thing will be when the 49ers get smashed and i can message you : )

I can't remember a time when a team has had an easier path to the Super Bowl than KC... And they were down two scores in both the games they played against inferior competition. I think SF wins by 10.

I think this gets overstated a little bit. Houston wasn't a very good team, but Tennessee was. Besides, Kansas City is a legitimately great team so it's not like their Super Bowl berth is undeserved.

For the things that happened, to happen (Tennessee winning in the final week, Miami beating NE, not facing NE or Balt facing 2 of the leagues worst passing defenses) certainly helped.

KC is a really good team, that can't be denied, but a SB berth was nearly gift wrapped.

Maybe Atlanta?

I can't think of anything easier.

I'm leaning SF, but if Mahomes and co can hang up points I don't think the 49ers can keep up by passing. But if the Chiefs fall behind they'll get ran all over.

That's what you said before the last game and the previous Packers game. Let's hope that trend continues :)

easier time you say...except for most of the Patriots' paths when they made the SB?

Pittsburgh losing to the jets was semi pathetic and helped as well. Jets were surging and steelers offense was no wjere to be found.

NE usually has to at least play one top 3 team with a legit chance at a SB. The Pats, Ravens, and Chiefs were the only SB potential teams and the Ravens got exposed and the Pat's are overrated. NE usually has to at least play a team like Pittsburg/KC/Baltimore/Peyton lead team.

Chiefs. I think they are the team of destiny this year after those two comebacks. They are the most resilient andy reid led team.

Sf run game might cause fits. Kc screen game vs. San fran in the trenches.

If kc has the lead spags calls a better game when the d can oin their ears back.

Shanny is a great play caller and andy is a maestro.

Should be a good game. I think andy cements his hall of fame resume in 2 sundays.

The Chiefs beat a #4 and a #6 seed to advance to the SB and there's no getting around that.

And for what its worth, the Brady/Belichick Patriots are the only team to win four games on the road over the #1 seed.
2001 @ PGH
2004 @ PGH
2006 @ Chargers
2018 @ KC
No one else in NFL history has more than two road wins over #1 seeds.
So I guess you're wrong.

This is his 2nd SB appearance (with 2 different teams) and hes made like 7 Championship games, I think Andy is a HoFer regardless of what happens.

He is, without question.

I agree. I think if marv levy got in without a sb, andy will also as well. A super bowl has him in with little to no controversy.

I really wanted the GB/KC Super Bowl for the obvious reason. It's hard to choose a dog in this fight. Incredible match up on paper. Let's hope it lives up to the billing.

The Pats usually had to play good teams like the Steelers, Ravens, Colts, or Broncos.

Houston is massively overrated and Tennessee is just Tennessee

Tennessee is underrated as Houston was overrated. Very balanced, good team. Their success wasn't an anomaly.

This is going to be the start of the next dynasty

Of course KC is good... But are they in the Super Bowl if they're in the NFC? I doubt they'd make it to the NFC championship tbh

Sure. But Tennessee is not great. Probably one of the weakest teams to make it to the conference championship in quite awhile

I actually have a higher opinion of Tennessee than most. Weak by comparison to KC now, and the NE and PIT teams of the past, but there's a lot of young talent on the Titans right now. Not too many teams in the AFC with a better triple threat than Brown/Davis/Henry.

How were they not great? They were one of the hottest teams in the league once Tannehill took over. I get that you want to take away as much as you can from the chiefs, being a broncos fan. And admittedly our path wasn’t too difficult. But we played what was given to us. No reason to take anything away from the Titans. It wasn’t a flukey thing for them to beat the pats and ravens. I would be that the titans would have beat the packers had them two made it

As for the game. I’m nervous. Our run d has been pretty good this back half of the year. But the niners run game scares me quite a bit more than the titans did. I also think their d might give the chiefs offense some trouble. They’re able to get pressure rushing only 4. When the Titans didn’t blitz Mahomes had all day. Should be a good one. I do think the 2 best teams got in

That would be the home team Chiefs, The 49ers are scheduled to take the field with their white jerseys and gold pants

Who is to say? What division would they be in and what seed would they be? It's not like the NFC had a lot of great playoff teams. Seahawks/Eagles were ravaged by injuries, Brees played very poorly, Vikings have Cousins, and the Packers weren't as good as their record indicated.

They were on par with the 2017 Jags IMO.

Weak teams don't own #1 teams in the playoffs......you only perceive them as weak because they just slipped in as a 6 seed and did NOT win the AFCC.........are you saying they're the weakest to reach the SB if they'd won yesterday? Does that make the NYG the weakest team to win a SB when they beat the Patriots?

They were, after all, 9-3 coming in with Tannehill at QB, yes? Records really mean nothing once teams reach the playoffs....even less once a team wins a playoff game because they're peaking at the right time and regular season record becomes moot.

Yeah but having two weeks between the Championship and the Super Bowl is a huge advantage for a good defense. Look at Super Bowl 48. The most prolific offense of all time was completely shut down by one of the great defenses of all time. 49ers defense isn't an all-time great, but it's very good.

When the chiefs receiver's aren't dropping balls, there's not a defense that can stop them right now.

This isn't going to come down to the 49ers defense. It's going to come down to the 49ers offense.

I dont disagree with what you're saying regarding it coming down to the 49ers offense, but what quality defense has KC played recently?
