100% you kick off. The defense has the commercial timeouts, plus the coin toss procedure to rest up. A few extra minutes after a full gameplay is not going to get you any more rested. you always want to know what you need to get to win the game. Or tie up this honestly felt like a very McDermott-ish game for Shanahan. Several seemingly small but poor decisions scattered here and there that add up to losing a game that you outplayed the other team in. still don’t understand how they didn’t expect pressure on Key downs in the fourth quarter and overtime. it’s like they were shocked every time.

Who knows if there would even be a winning field goal after? If I’m San Fran, I go for 2 in that situation. Zero chance I give Mahomes the ball back.

Ding ding ding. Narratives swing easily. We are a San Fran missed extra point from Mahomes being 2-2 in the SB. But he did (miss it). So Mahomes is 3-1 and in the GOAT talk.

Because you did. Mind numbing stupid coaching on San Frans side.

It absolutely matters. Mahomes scores a TD first, then the 49ers likely run the ball on 3rd down and create 4th and short. Or maybe even get the 1st.

This right here is why you kickoff in OT. Kicking that field on 4th and short looks pretty stupid right now, doesn’t it?

49ers coaching staff is playing with one combined brain cell right now.

49ers defense giving them free 6-7 yards every play. Obnoxious

I would hold every Chiefs player

49ers just have ZERO answer for pressure.

Yeah. Taking the ball first was real dumb.

You’re right, if you’re playing any team that doesn’t have Mahomes.

What is the logic to taking the ball first? Id much rather know what I need. Field Goal or TD

How do you forget Kelce? How? This game is making me question Shanahan in big moments.

Reid did exactly what Shanahan didn’t do. He expected a blitz and called a sceeen.

I think the whole world knew a blitz was coming. Play was screaming for a sceeen or quick hitter, or at the very least just keeping an extra blocker home.

I just don’t understand how San Fran was not ready for a blitz in that situation.

Total fake injury. Your injured finger kept you on the field?

I really think there is a good chance Kelce falls off a cliff production wise next season. He looks noticeably less agile already.

That’s… awful.

That’s my understanding as well.

Why do players pull hamstrings with no contact? Anyone knowledgeable on this subject? What is the mechanism that causes you to be running and your hamstring just give out?

Imagine Allen with this SF defense.

What a nifty play call. Makes me think about how we ran ZERO “trick” plays this year. Unless there is some play im forgetting.

Only a few picks from us.
