I would love to hear Chris’s take if the coach who made this call was not called Kyle Shanahan. As an analyst you need to be blind to personalities and focused on situations. He seems to always have a problem here with the Niners/Kyle. I’m a Niners fan but this was inexcusable on Kyle. If Andy and Spags are drilling OT rules into the Chiefs players heads there’s probably a good bet that it’s important.

At the same time, the players not all knowing wasn't a difference maker. The decision was. And I'll defend Shanahan, because there's an alternate universe where he gives KC the ball first and they rapidly score on an exhausted 49ers defense, then a rested Chiefs defense pins their ears back and stops the 49ers. Then everyone is hating on Shanahan for not resting his defense. And there's another world where the chiefs are held to a field goal and the 49ers get the ball third and Kyle looks like a genius. Everyone is more sure of their opinion a week later with the benefit of hindsight. Kyle had to make that choice in the moment. And of course, Andy Reid deserves credit for having prepared for this situation all year, but he also went to overtime in the AFC championship 3 years in a row, so maybe it's less that he's a genius and more that he too has the benefit of hindsight

I'm pretty sure the analytics thing was just a cop out. I'm gonna struggle to believe analytics would tell you to take the ball first, unless the sample size includes all of the overtimes before the rule change. Also, analytics shouldn't make all of your decisions for you, it's a tool, that you as a NFL head football coach, should be able to discern whether or not the result of analytics makes logical sense in the moment.

@joewyatt2269 4 ай бұрын

I don't understand all the angst about analytics or taking the ball first or not. The real mistake was having the ball inside the Chiefs 9 yard line on 4th and 4 and not going for it. You know they have Mahomes on the other side and you have to assume he's going to get them a score. Your only chance is to guarantee it has to be a TD.

Your a casual fan so of course you would know the ot rules because your sitting on your phone & can look them up. The player's are worried about remembering the schemes & playbook & what's happening on the field. Can tell you've never played any kind of organized sports before.

The game was lost at the 2min warning when it was 3rd an 5. Even 2nd and 5....team is running the ball, chiefs are gassing and instead of running the ball you try two basic pass plays. At that point in the game, you need that first down as if it's the game, because it is! A first equals a last second FG (or close enough) and thus Mahones has no time to get anymore points. SF's Defense did great for 3.5 Qtr, but at the point the game they are not stopping KC, few if any teams do. Andy reed has great plays when it comes down to must have and apparently Kyle doesn't.

Having said all that, the reality is that it’s just one of a dozen reasons we lost. Greenlaws replacement gave up something like 6 for six and let Mahomie run free.

I think Kyle didn't want to put the pressure on Purdy and instead rely on the defense. Not that Purdy couldn't answer with a touchdown in the next possession, but that still doesn't guarantee a win, and if he throws a pick, that could end his career. Remember, football players are people too, they need to get paid. Kyle took the fault like a true leader. The 49ers lost the game when they couldn't convert in the last possession during regulation.

@samuelwallace2782 4 ай бұрын

Here's my issue. When he made the decision, the vast majority of people weren't sure what the choice should be. A week later, EVERYONE suddenly knows exactly what to do. Everyone is acting like they could outcoach shannahan as if they don't have the benefit of hindsight. And I'm still not 100% sure that giving the chiefs the ball is the right choice. I'm sure in Shannahans mind, with how tired the defense was, that would be basically immediately giving the Chiefs a touchdown. The result would be that the 49ers would essentially have to score a touchdown and a 2pt conversion to win. Otherwise, he has to hand the ball back to the chiefs, who can win with a field goal. He figured that letting his defense rest gave him the better chance at stopping KC. In hindsight, that's the wrong choice, especially knowing now that the Chiefs would have gone for two anyway. My point is that there's a lot of loud voices who are literally Monday morning quarterbacking a decision that had never had to be made before.

The head of the analytics department just fired and ultimately blamed the defensive coordinator.

The 49ers had a defense that showed the wear and tear at the end of the fourth quarter. Total agree with Shanahan’s decision. It backfired, but Mahomes would have scored a touchdown with the ball first as well. That’s life; deal with it.

That maybe true but the niners would had the ball last to try win it that's the point

Florio must be hell to live with - constantly second-guessing everyone and believing everyone has nefarious motives.

Kyle must be Chris's friend and that's okay. Everybody is open to criticism. The Kansas City Chiefs were ready for overtime 100% it's obvious they had a plan like ending the game. Before the coin 🪙 flip for OT if Kansas City got the 🏈 2nd they knew it wasn't going to be a 3rd possession. Kyle's 3rd time straight (not ready) 25,10,10 Leads and same SB results-Please 🛑 calling this man a genius 🎓

Just checking, but I’m guessing analytics doesn’t take into account Patrick Mahomes….lol

Ridiculous take. Kyle’s not thinking about his analytics team in that one brief moment.

Whatever the defense should have stepped up and stopped them all that other talk is unnecessary

How come the chiefs analytics say kick the ball off. I dont think Kyle is being truthful. He just didn't know

@evolfury 4 ай бұрын

I say they're just scapegoating analytics to take any blame off Shanahan. I feel it's obvious... Shanahan just didn't bother to think things all the way through. That's why they lost. He just doesn't understand situational football and neither does his team.. how do you NOT know the overtime rules??!

Everyone is saying should have them the ball . No has said what the new over time is exactly , haven't heard one person break it down ! If they gave them the ball and score a TD and you don't you lose ! Or do you get a another chance ?

@Zarab923 3 ай бұрын

Nobody would’ve said crap to him if he won though lol and instead he lost and through the analytics people under the bus so he pissed everyone off. Also grant Cohn said shanahan’s first response about OT was that he didn’t know the rules and then he made up the analytics stuff.

With a coach you have to call it like quarterbacks, if they can’t get over the hump why is it on the quarterback in Lamar, Allen, and Dak case why not on the coach who can’t win. Purdy ran the plays he was told to.

Kyle Shanahan is a freakin’ TRAIN WRECK as an NFL HEAD COACH!! The Head Coach is the “Leader of the Band”, the CEO of the team on the field. He has coaches who run the offense, defense and special teams. John Lynch needs a Head Coach who knows how to run the game. Not stuck in OC, DC, STC mode. Kyle is not his father.

THIS overtime rule thing is such a nothing burger as long as Shanahan and his coaches new it they are calling the plays outside of maybe Purdy it’s not that big a deal. It’s amazing how easy this game is to break down sometimes I wonder if some of these commentators watched the game . If I was to name one thing that I thought won the game for the Chiefs it wouldn’t even be Mahomes,it would be special teams blocked extra point,recovery muffed punt .Super Bowl record 57 yard field goal and some Luck they fumbled twice that bounced right back to them .Mahomes like most QBs get more credit than they probably deserve his game winning pass was one that most NFL QBs could makes it was a few yards out to a open receiver most of the credit should go to the coach for drawing it up it was a great play.

If mahomes does not get the 4th down it’s game over. And if mahomes again does not get the next run down it may have been field goal. Can only blame defense falling apart at the end. And brilliant play calling and initiative by mahomes to get down there. I thought chiefs were gone after defending first as I expected 49ers to score and then chiefs had to score or game over, if there is an error, only worked because there was no errors.
