Womens Arik Armstead Jersey , despite the best efforts of my wife and daughters. And I especially hated the House of Horrors that the 49ers put on Sunday afternoon.This game seemed scientifically designed to crush the souls of fans as methodically and thoroughly as possible. We have gotten used to — this year — the steady thud of players falling to injuries like the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. To the glacial pace of C.J. Beathard’s decision making and throwing motion, perfectly capturing that sensation in your literal nightmares where a monster (lineman) is chasing you and you’re stuck in slow motion, slogging through invisible molasses and can’t get away. Seven different Cardinals defenders got hits on Beathard on Sunday. Beathard’s toughness is inspiring, but I want a QB who is inspired by Joe Montana, not by Tex Cobb. That’s the former football player who suffered “The Worst Beating in Boxing History” from Larry Holmes, but was too tough to stay down. His punishment was so brutal that boxing legend Howard Cosell quit his announcing career and called “for the abolition of professional boxing.”This team is still talent-deficient, and our hopes that those 7th round surprises would all turn into Pro Bowlers have proven as unrealistic as we feared. And then their backups got injured. But still, Niners fans are used to all that from the last few years.Sunday, this team found new ways to raise our hopes before killing them at the last second, just like 鈥?well, I don’t want to do a spoiler. But hey, do you like spy movies? That old John Le Carre one, The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, hoo boy that was great. You should check it out on Netflix or wherever.I left that flick feeling better than I did Sunday.I mean, how can you help but get your hopes up playing the second-worst team in the NFL, one that you played just three weeks ago, one that just fired their offensive coordinator in favor of a super green guy in his 3rd year of coaching at any level, one with a rookie QB easily rattled by pressure?And then you play tough, smother their offense, build a good lead for three quarters and just need to grind it out. And the one thing SF is good at in the world is slow Youth Mike Person Jersey , run-based drives!! OK, against all better judgment, I let my hopes rise, thinking this was the game. For once, Larry Fitzgerald isn’t going to break Faithful hearts!You might be thinking at this point, “Wait a minute, Mark. Your article is titled ‘Doom, despair and turnovers.’ But the Niners didn’t have any turnovers yesterday, they were plus 2 and even got an interception for the first time since Bill Clinton was president!” Yeah, you’re right, or close enough. And that’s precisely why this was the worst Halloween party ever. Because the only hope left for this season was that the Niners had lost close games, against good teams even, just because of turnovers. All they had to do then, logically, was clean up that up, turn some giveaways into takeaways, and they’d probably slaughter Arizona and some good teams too.But yesterday, they destroyed that hope. They were almost perfect on turnovers. Perfect would be a takeaway on every drive, I suppose, but this was a miracle — no turnovers http://www.the49ersfootballauthentic.com/laken-tomlinson-jersey-authentic , no fumbles, no interceptions, and they stole two possessions away from the Cardinals.And they still lost. That’s horrifying. It's a good thing Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes prefers takeout to dining in these days, because the first-year starter would be recognized in any restaurant in Kansas City.Not just because of his Mohawk, either.Mahomes is off to a record-setting start to the season, and he has the Chiefs at 2-0 heading into their home opener Sunday against San Francisco.And that has just about everyone buzzing, from busboys to restaurant owners, about the possibility of another AFC West title and some postseason success."I can only imagine it's going to be pretty interesting to be Patrick Mahomes around town," Chiefs center Mitch Morse said with a sly smile.Morse doesn't have as much trouble when he dines out, of course. Nor do the rest of the Chiefs' offensive linemen, even though they're a big reason Mahomes has had so much success.A group that returned largely intact from last season, when it helped Kareem Hunt win the NFL rushing title, has proven it can keep Mahomes clean as well.The line has allowed just two sacks despite going on the road to face the Chargers and Steelers, two fairly salty defenses, and that has translated into offensive numbers that rank near the top of the league.Most importantly? The Chiefs are averaging 40 points per game."I think jelling is a great word," Morse said. "It's four years for some of us together, and with offensive line continuity is the biggest thing. The more we play together helps."The Chiefs have certainly invested in their offensive line.Their first draft pick of the Andy Reid era was Eric Fisher, who was selected first overall in 2013 and has played well enough to sign a $63 million, six-year deal.Morse was a second-round pick in 2015, and right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif was a sixth-round flyer who panned out so well he also signed a long-term contract to the tune of $42.36 million over five years.Kansas City solidified the right tackle position by signing Mitchell Schwartz to a $33 million Youth Adrian Colbert Jersey , five-year deal a couple of years ago, and shored up the only remaining spot on the offensive line when former first-round pick Cam Erving was acquired in a trade with the Cleveland Browns.He's played so well that the Chiefs signed him to a $15.75 million extension last offseason.It's easier to tie up money in the offensive line when the quarterback, often the most expensive position on the roster, happens to be on a rookie deal.But it also shows how much value the Chiefs put in protecting Mahomes, and how much confidence they have in the group they've assembled."They've worked very hard at coming together and working," Reid said."We have a ton of things we can improve on. As defensive coordinators study and see these things, they will throw different wrinkles at you and you have to rise up every week."That's not a simple part of this. In this business it's not so much about what you did the week before, it's about what you do today."We have to keep answering these different challenges," Reid said. "We did OK last week, now we will prepare ourselves for this week."Indeed, the challenge presented by the Steelers was unique. Their defense tends to disguise blitz packages better than most, and that could have created problems for an inexperienced quarterback.But beyond keeping Mahomes upright, the offensive also was instrumental in helping him diagnose what the Steelers were doing. It was a true team effort in calling out the blitzes.Now the challenge is San Francisco, led by sack specialist DeForest Buckner."It's the same type of scheme that the Chargers ran and originated in Seattle. They have a lot of good players," Mahomes said."It's going to be a great challenge for us, especially being our first home game. We have to stay in process. Keep doing what we do well, keep getting better, fixing our mistakes and hopefully come out with the win."Notes: Safety Eric Berry (Achilles tendon) remained out of practice Thursday, making it unlikely he will make his season debut against San Francisco. He's been out since early in training camp. ... DT Chris Jones returned to practice after missing Wednesday's workout with a groin injury. ... FS Armani Watts was excused from practice for personal reasons.
