KC just played a great game and eventually was able to get by the 49ers defense, no mean feat. They were destined to win this and they did with a couple of lucky breaks and great play execution..
bump
When the 49er’s took the lead and went to the end zone as a group with their chests all stuck out and cocky thinking they just bagged the game is when things could only get worse for the 49er’s! They were smug and thought they won the game on that score. ... pride cometh before a fall!
I thought he blew it.
10 point lead, only a few minutes to go.
Runs the ball for 7 yards. Great. Then next play is a failed pass?? Then again and its 3 and out.
Same problem as with his game with Atlanta. He could not bring himself to use the clock up on the ground.
SF has a great offensive line and it did not seem that KC could not stop the run.
He never learned apparently.
Didn’t think just one player would make a difference but, Mahomes was amazing...
The 49ers did show "pride before the fall". Very much like the democrats have these past long months.
May they continue to experience similar disappointment.
And yeah, the NFL made itself political a long time ago.
Hail to the Chiefs (I know one President who is celebrating this!) and thanks for the delicious cup of schadenfreude this AM!
I was actually impressed that Shanahan stayed aggressive with play calling. Everyone expected running plays as Conventional wisdom would have told you to keep the ball on the ground to burn up clock. He felt that he had to keep his foot on the throttle and get the big play to put it away. Marty Schottenheimer and his prevent-offense would have ran three times and punted. It didn’t work out for Shanahan last night but I can see his motive as KC has shown their comeback skills repeatedly this year.
Shanahan really did a piss poor job of clock management as well to end the first half. He had all three timeouts yet let KC run off 30 seconds on 4th down Punt formation. Then seemingly was running out the clock to go into halftime tied up 10-10. Fox Cameras pick up the SF Owner in his box signaling to take a time out. Nope, two running plays. SF finally took a shot down field only for an offensive pass interface penalty to essentially end the half.
If Colon Crapernick had still been quarterback... /s
Shanahan whined about “potential” bad reffing before the game and them was outraged when Kitter stiff armed a defender to get free and got caught for offensive pass interference...crybabies don’t get my sympathy.
They went from 4-12 last year to the Super Bowl this year. Pretty horrible coaching.
We were rooting for KC. When Shanahan contested that call in the 4th quarter, THAT turned the Big MO in KC’s favor. I understand because a few calls did go KC’s way, but Shanahan should have just accepted it and they might have won the ring.
Probably, Barry Soetoro bet on the Niners . . .
10 point lead in the fourth quarter isn’t a insurmountable lead for a nfl team to come back on, especially for a team as explosive as KC. That’ one 3rd down chunk play where Mchomes bought time and threw it for a 40 yard game was the difference, it set up the TD that made them down by only 3 and that gave KC a lot of confidence to finish the game
but the dyke gets a pass...A few points:
1, KC is a high scoring team. To beat them you need to out score them. Put your foot on the gas and leave it there. SF tried to run against a 9-10 man front instead of passing, especially on first down.
2. For some reason SF discarded the previously successful play action pass in favor of the pocket pass where most of their failures occurred.
3. The Niners receivers inability to get open and the O lines inability to hold their blocks have been a season long problem. Shoring up the line in the draft is next priority and the emergence of WR Jalen Hurd from injury will help next year.
4. This was a 4-12 team last year that fell one game short this year. The future is bright in SF.
Not really his fault. I don’t believe God gets involved with sports activities, but it was the 49ers . . .
These guys always want to get ‘cute’ (like the Seahawks did) and it costs them the game. Run the ball!
