That's not good for generating new fans or maintaining an invigorated base.
NFL PR deliberately tried to downplay Mahomes this off-season...that's how good he is.
Who wants to see KC with a 5th straight home AFCCG? There are 15 other cities to think about...
It worked...Donks fans actually had visions of the play-offs for about 6 weeks...they had the same visions again with landing Wilson.
Let's not forget that the streak is 13 and counting....Not 11. I know you know that.
So, how did SF beat SEA? One, they didn't let Geno look like Brady.
SF held the ball for 38 minutes, thanks to a 45 run / 15 pass ratio and they gained 189 rushing yards with 2 TDs. Denver only ran 20 times for 103 yards... slightly better RPC, but it is relevant because I think they should focus on leveraging Williams/Gordon more.
Wilson threw for 340 yards, 1 score and no picks.
Jimmy G threw for 184 yards, 1 score and no picks. (he had 1 rushing)
SF had a 3rd quarter blocked FG return for a TD that took them to 20-7.
SF didn't just walk in and beat the snot out of SEA.
Denver self imploded with the goal line miscues and 111 penalties (ok 12). And, that's on them... they had the same penalties in game 2.
Suggesting that SF is going to just stroll in and curb stomp Denver is just folly really. Sure, if Denver keeps up their bullshit mistakes, they should lose.
I think Denver sets a new bar for high score this year and defeats SF by the score of 17-16... kickers love the thin air. [Reply]
