We also have a ref that calls holding penalties on the year 33% less than all other reffing crews. Holding calls will be minimal in this game I am sure.
Taylor was the most penalized offensive player, but I believe you will find it was mostly for lining up wrong or false stars, not an unusual high holding rate for him.
49ers simplified game plan on offense: Use McCaffrey early and often to establish the run in order to open up the passing game and to keep the Chiefs offense off the field as long as possible. Also substitute Mitchell and Mason. Interestingly, when the Cowboys found a way to contain CMC, Mason churned out his best performance of the season. Mason averages 5.2 yards per carry and scored a TD every 13.3 carries and hasn't fumbled the ball a single time this season. By comparison, CMC averages 5.4 YPC and scores a TD every 19.4 carries. So using Mason may not be a bad option. However, If Chiefs load the box to prevent CMC from running wild, like Dallas did, the Niners need to implement play-action pass for Brock who'll torch them in the passing game. Niners need to take what the Chiefs give them. When Dallas found a way to contain CMC by loading the box--Brock torched them with 4 passing TDs. Niners need to utilize the play-action pass more frequently against the Chiefs, which they failed to do against the Lions. Brock is virtually unstoppable using play-action with a near 80% completion rate and 10.7 yards per attempt and close to 140 RTG during the regular season. Another key to victory on offense I should add is how about the Niners running more draw plays which will compliment Purdy's highly successful play-action pass. That way running plays could be disguised as passing plays, and vice versa, passing plays could be designed as running plays, which will serve as a countermeasure if the Chiefs decide to load the box to stop CMC. And the Niners have the weapons to pull this off as CMC is an excellent dual purpose back and Deebo is an excellent dual-purpose receiver, while Purdy is a dual threat at QB as he can both pass and run the ball. Kyle needs to find ways to maximize the potential of all his dual-purpose weapons to keep the Chiefs defense honest. 49ers game plan on defense: Put a linebacker on Kelce near the line of scrimmage to bump-and-run him hard on every play, to keep him off-balance, then double team Kelce to neutralize him. Jerry Rice said to double him 100 percent. After all the sports media is putting Kelce and the Swifties center stage. If refs don't call holding penalties against Chiefs O-line, 49ers coaches better call them out, for this could mean the difference between winning and losing, as it will neutralize the 49ers pass rush which is vital especially against Mahomes whom the Niners will have to put pressure on in the pocket and will help prevent Pacheco from running uncontested in the backfield. Of course, 49ers defensive linemen need to play to their full potential to make this work. Linebacker Warner must continue reading the offense and tackling opposing RBs from behind scrimmage. Niners cornerback Lenoir needs to be a shut-down corner like he was against Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Lions and do the same with Rashee Rice. While safety Gipson is doing well in the postseason, the safeties need to up their game and fly around the field like Hufanga did before he got injured to match the competitiveness of the Chiefs safeties, Reid, Conner, Edwards and Bush who are putting up sacks, TFLs, PDs and INTs, becoming the unsung heroes of the Chiefs' defense in the postseason.
This guys been delusional in this whole video commenting, saying the Chiefs are gonna win by so much when they haven’t done so all year, and yes, the Chiefs have again helps by the refs just like the Vikings and Jets game and then when one game goes the other way, then they start throwing fits. I just feel like the Chiefs been such crybabies this year.
@@Drako1420 oh, and you guys chiefs lost to the Raiders and broncos, so yeah y’all lost to a couple bad teams this year and I mean teams they’re a lot worse than the Vikings like the worst. Worst of teams, so make sure you come correct before you go and make any statements
Mahomes 1st SB W was with refs help. His 2nd SB W was with refs help plus the ground crew installed a sloppy field to slow down the Eagles pass rushers and the ground crew leader was a die hard Chiefs fan but now retired. Hopefully this SB will be different if the playing field was even.
