In context

KapadiaYou beat the Broncos.

KapadiaTheir defense continues to overachieve as well. I mean, their defense was lights out in that game against the Seahawks. it couldn't be going any better. It's just a matter of like, I don't know. I feel like Niners fans are generally pretty confident. They're not like thinking worst case scenario, but me as a neutral observer, I'm just like, is this built to last for 18 games or not?

KapadiaBecause if you played like the Super Bowl this weekend, you'd be like, yeah, they have as good a shot as anybody. The question's about once you get to December, January, are they still the same team?

GilIt's too early, obviously, to have this conversation. But while the game is going on, while you see the Seahawks kind of driving there at the end, where you guys think like maybe this is an NFC championship game preview. We might revisit this matchup. Because like it was an ugly game. It was kind of more of a defensive game, even though the numbers offensively were up there.

GilBut the Seahawks were right in it. And JSN had a catch that would have been a first down easily that he dropped. And then on the next play, Cooper Cup catches a ball where if he had been two feet more in balance and extended that ball, he would have gotten a first down.

KapadiaWhat did the Billy Gilli test tell you there? Did you feel like he had it or not? The Kapadia eye test, I'm like, I don't know. It kind of looks like he's at the market. I didn't think so.

PelisseroI thought he was short. I thought the ball was out of bounds before he even stretches forward. Based on the angles we were shown, we don't have the exact. But I was like, this is not. They kept saying it's so close. I'm like, I don't, I didn't think it was close. Just me personally.
