The Niners played with really high intensity against the Super Bowl Champs New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, but they failed to win because of their own mistakes when they had ball. San Francisco committed four turnovers, three of them inside New Orleans' 30-yard line to lost 25-22 with a last second field goal.
After a shaky start against the Seahawks, QB Alex Smith showed a really good face in that game driving his team downfield when they needed 8 points to tie the score at the end of the game. "I think there are a number of things that Alex has not shown yet that he will as he continues to progress," Singletary said. "The comfort level that he's going to feel going forward. I think that he's only going to get better.
The 49ers defense is among the best in the business despite them being 0-2, they rank fourth in the league in defense averaging 264.5 yards per game. Linebacker Patrick Willis has looked amazing reading the opponents offenses and anticipating whatever the other team had planned.
"I just think this team is a young team. They're learning some very valuable things early on in the season," coach Mike Singletary said. "I believe they will capitalize and pick up and it will serve us well going forward."
On the other hand the Chiefs are surprisingly 2-0 after beating the San Diego Chargers and the Cleveland Browns in the first two weeks and now have the chance to start 3-0 for the first time since 2003, in that year they ended up winning the AFC West title.
Kansas City has looked amazing on defense but has failed to move the ball consistently through the air (54.5 yards of offense, second worst in the NFL). QB Matt Cassel was benched last week after throwing two interceptions against the Browns. Keep in mind San Francisco is 0-3 ATS at Kansas City but 5-2 ATS in non-conference games; the Chiefs are 3-7 ATS in games where the line is +3 to -3.
