To be honest, I think Sunday's game will tell us more about the 49ers than it does about the Chiefs. SF has struggled this year especially in the 2nd half were they are averaging 4 pts per game. Kaepernick has been less than impressive throwing 6 TDs and 4 INTs through 4 games and Gore is only averaging 64.5 yards per game and before rushing for 119 yds against the Eagles last Sunday, he was only averaging 46 ypg in their 3 previous games.
On the other hand, they handed Dallas and Philly (both 3-1) their only losses, but I attribute that to the NFC East being a weak division this year. They lost to 3-0 Arizona and Da Bears (2-2). We do know that their defense is very good, ranked 7th against the pass and 2nd against the run.
If we beat them many will argue that the 49ers aren't very good this year, so it seems this game will be more of a measuring stick for them than it will be for us. What I am looking for is continued improvement/solid play from the o-line and defense. Can we move the ball against a very good defense? Can the o-line protect Alex? Can the defense get some more turnovers, and can the defense and special teams get us good field position? I think those things will tell us more about the Chiefs than the final score will.
