I could see that. They have the best player at the most important position. Having a QB that will consistently be top 5 should keep them competitive for a long time.

Maybe. We’ll see how good the Chiefs front office, scouts and coaching staff truly are, once they sign Mahomes to a long term contract they’re gonna have to be wizards with the salary cap and evaluating talent.

They’ll be good for the next few years.

I don’t know about a “run of glory”, but they will definitely be a tough team for the next few years. That said, they play in the toughest division in the NFL and still have a big question mark at QB. The defense will likely have to take a step back at some point once they have to make tough choices on some of their free agent signings (Dee Ford, Kwon Alexander, Richard Sherman), plus they’ll have to shell out for Bosa once his rookie contract expires. I also think that other than Deebo Samuel they don’t really have a reliable WR. Emmanuel Sanders hasn’t been quite the deep threat they were hoping for.

Basically they’re set up for the next 2-3 years, but then the big question will be whether Lynch can repeat his roster building success.

Reid's done it before and does a great job with his roster. This might be his little run getting started. He's too good and has been for too long not to win a couple. He's got the qb now. They could rattle a few off.

SF has the pieces but I'm not a believer yet in Jimmy G and I feel like I saw this before with Harbaugh.

They're gonna have to pay Hill, Mahommes, Kelce, Hardman pretty soon.

Do that, and they pretty are stretched to pay other positions.

Certainly Mahommes gives them a shot to get a bye every year if he stays healthy.

This was year 3 of the rebuild. The trip to the SB was about two seasons ahead of the plan.

So, to the OP, maybe so.

Yep, and a lot of the same things said about them were said about Rodgers and GB a decade ago. It’s simply hard to get back frequently.

Hardman was just drafted this year. I expect that Watkins will be cut with Hardman as his replacement. Got to think Hill will get resigned. They have Kelce for two more years under contract. Mahomes will be the question mark - he will be the highest paid player in the NFL.

Great team, but questions on if Garoppolo is the real deal for SF.

Love the way they built the team, but those types of teams rarely seem to stick together too long. Kittle and Bosa play the game with ferocity and effort... fun players to watch.

Yeah, but no

Look, I'll say this... they seem to be a well built team with a solid foundation... not just some flash in the pan "hot offense" or a one-year mercenary roster.

They are a solid team, not exceptional, but they don't make a lot of mistakes.

They are also young, and will have to deal with keeping all the pieces together once the rookie contracts end. That seems to be the kill shot for most of these teams.

tyreke is locked up to a reasonable deal (thanks to his off-field issues). watkins is likely coming off the cap after this year

the thing about Mahommes is that his mobility allows KC to skimp a bit on OL. also the reid running system helps here, too. RBs are cheap as well

so you lock up Mahommes, Kelce, and Hill and the rest can be on a budget. still plenty to spend on D

Hill has a 3-year extension at $18M/year (he was going to get a $100M contract until his child abuse stuff)

Kelce is already under contract for i think 2 years

Hardman is a rookie. they have him for 2-3 more years super cheap and then another as a RFA if they choose

In all honesty, they should be, they're set up perfectly with 71 million in cap space for next season. However, they will have to decide on a few such as Armstead, Sanders, and Ward. Then the following season they have Sherman, Thomas, McKinnon, Tartr, Juszcyk, Gould, Buckner, Coleman, Williams, Witherspoon, Beatgard, Kittle, Taylor, Jones, Harris, Helm, and Givens

KC is over the cAp and they will cut Watkins to save 14m but have Jones who will get 15-18m a year.

Play design by Shanahan is so creative and a joy to watch..... fits their personal to the tee..... he stumbled a few times with clock management early in the year but his in your face play calling (all run no pass) really exposes and demoralizes defenses when they can't stop it...... its like game over and everyone knows it.....

If you have watched the 9rs all year, they can pass, not world class, but better than average..... allow for one or two bozo throws by Jimmy G a game, but net net, he can get the job done...... just look at his record.....

Finally, and the reason I am more confident that I probably should be about the 9rs in this game (and as a team) is they absolute control the line of scrimmage on both sides.....O and D..... that wins championships.....

Their D line and run blocking is old school which in a way is fun to watch for a change after all these Offense driven teams

IF there is an achilles heel, it may be stopping a scrambling quarterback, that's the wild card with KC/Mahomes.... they absolutely smash up pocket quarterbacks but can struggle stopping runners.... J. Winston (W1 of 2), K. Murray (W2 of 2), L. Jackson (W0/1), R. Wilson (W1 of 2).... so, basically should be a great game.

This year for football has been incredible for me..... born and raised in LA but living in the Bay Area for 20 years now, aint got no complaints.....
