[Kansas City.com] San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis, whom Chiefs coach Todd Haley complimented Wednesday as one of the league’s best at his position, all but guaranteed that the winless 49ers would defeat unbeaten Kansas City when the teams meet Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
“We have to win this one. We will win this one,” Davis said during a conference call with Kansas City reporters. “I’m pretty confident that we will pull this one out.”
Davis, a fifth-year player, was then asked whether he was guaranteeing a San Francisco win, and he didn’t retreat.
“We will win this game. We have the team to do it,” he said. “We’ve just got to get rid of all the mistakes. Without the mistakes, there’s no telling where we can go. There’s no limit.”
As often happens, word spread quickly through the Chiefs’ locker room that Davis had promised a win. Defensive lineman Shaun Smith is the team’s loudest trash talker, and he was – ”as best as can be” – reserved when told about Davis’ comments.
“That’s just Vernon Davis being Vernon Davis,” Smith said. “You know him. … That’s just a guy trying to get some locker-room talk, some locker-room chatter. That’s also a guy trying to get his team going.”
“For him to put out there on line, guaranteeing victory, that’s him. We’ll see what happens on Sunday.”
vernon is a little biotch. i hope we smash them and shut him down

Perfect motivation that we needed for this game. Our young Chiefs need this one to go undefeated in to the bye week. Nothing worse than going two weeks with a loss on the mine. Also, at Indy and at Houston are looming which will be two tough road tests!!!

Chief Tom hit it right on the nose! Not only will the Chiefs be jacked up but so will the Sea of Red. It’s more about Alex Smith than it is about Vernon Davis. The pressure is still on the quarterbacks in this game. We need Cassel to have a better game than Alex Smith….Period

AMEN DAVID I AGREE WITH THAT CASSEL NEEDS TO HAVE A BETTER GAME SO WE WILL HAVE A GREAT DAY

CHIEFS!!! Headed to my local sports bar to watch the Red Death beat up on the 9ers! Pressure on Alex Smith is the key to this game. I hope Cassel breaks it out today.

I was able to live stream it Jeff. Next week try http://www.atdhe.net. Couldn’t get the Chiefs vs Browns but I got this one no prob. You can only stream it during the live telecast and you should be able to get any game you want to watch provided that the generous, good people continue to share.
With the newer flat screens out there they simply plug the cpu into the tv.
