His defense stopped Mahomes multiple times while Kyle's offense was stuck in neutral failing to remember they had Christian effing McCaffrey to hand it to. Then the special teams screwed up and handed the Chiefs a score. I am not a huge Steve Wilkes fan. I didn't like that hire to start with. But his defense was not the problem on Sunday. I'm gonna give u credit for this your right! But Wilks did make some questionable decisions late in the game as well. I think it was that Mcd special on 2nd & 14 in OT that got him fired! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. That game was lost because SF’s O couldn’t put the nail in the coffin. SF D gave up an average of five points a quarter. That should have won the game. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Imagine getting fired after holding KC to 19 points in regulation (7 off a special teams turnover) while forcing 5 punts and 2 turnovers. That's light years better than any Bills DEF performance against the Chiefs in the playoffs. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 If I had a direct line to Wilks, I would’ve told him to tell his players to watch out for the Mahomes keeper on the crucial 4th down in OT. Since it had gained so much yardage earlier in the game, I had a sneaky suspicion they’d go back to it. Turns out I would’ve got that one right and 9ers would’ve won the Lombardi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 In my judgment, Wilks got thrown under the bus. Sounds a bit familiar. Hmm. Perhaps Kyle should have been familiar with the "Josh Allen" overtime rules and also not overruled Wilks when he called that time out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Wow, 49ers D takes a lead into the 4 Q and holds Mahomes and company to 25 (19 in regulation) and gets fired…. Bills DC should thank the Bills HC for being so forgiving! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) 2 hours ago, wppete said: I agree that this was a terrible defensive call. I, watching on TV, saw the blitz coming. If I knew it, Mahomes and the Chiefs certainly knew it. I said to my friends that the Chiefs would easily beat the blitz and they did. I'd be OK with a well-disguised blitz (although blitzing Mahomes is risky in any fashion), but this was so obvious that it was very easy to beat. I still don't know if it warrants firing Wilks. His defense kept the 49ers in the game and the sputtering offense really failed them. But, then, Shanahan can't fire himself.

thunderingsquid Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 4 hours ago, BillsWest said: Per ProFootball Rumors, the 49ers have fired Steve Wilks DC. I guess KC will do that to you! I think the final outcome would have been different if Dre Greenlaw doesn't tear his achilles. Not his fault KC held sometimes twice on an individual play. They did all they could.

Chaos Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Wow it reminds of the time a team lost a game because they had 12 on the field on defense and responded by firing the offensive coordinator. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ControllerOfPlanetX Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Shanahan called McDermott and asked him how to get the heat off. McD just told him to fire somebody, that will get you some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
