DAN PATRICK - Shanahan’s Ego Cost The Niners In OT 

True, the term genius should be reserved to the likes of Vince Lombardi or Bilichick.

Or Bill Walsh!

Life long 9er fan since I was 8 in 79'. There is and has been only 1 genius. What we have now is, just good enough to not win it all.

Amen. I attended college in the Bay Area in the early 80's and Bill Walsh was a true "Genius". I witnessed 4 of their 5 SB wins living in San Jose. Bananahans is NO genius. 9ers should move on from him.@@MuvoTX

The 49ers should hire Chip Kelly. Or maybe Tomsula? I really don't enjoy being in contention for the Superbowl year in and year out.

Thank You! Mason didn't get a carry the last 3 games ... but he runs like a young Marshawn Lynch make it make sense to me!

I agree when I watch mason. He runs hard like beast mode. Fresh legs against a wore down defense. He’s definitely fighting for extra yards.

Belichick had a coach and all his job was to do, was analyze and look at unique situation vs your opponent that may come up. Situational football… I feel Mike Vrbal is excellent at this…why? Played for Belichick…. With a razor thin margin of error in these tight games, IMO, Kyle is lacking in this area.

Kyle will win a chip someday. If he runs the ball more and execute those key plays, he wins

Dude, if a block doesn't get missed, that's an easy touchdown

Someone needs tell that stupid Ned york

LOSETS...😂😮😢😢😢

😂😂😂😂brual😂😂

The Vikings wish they had Shanahan.

@@harrymartini3053 lol why so it could be 6 SB losses instead of 4 😂

I forgot you're a Vikings fan and prefer not being in the Superbowl at all

@@harrymartini3053 bwahaha 🤣

YES! YES! YES! THANK YOU!! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT MIKE MARTZ!! As a lifelong Rams fan I blame that loss squarely on Mike Martz.

Vermeil would have probably won that game.

@@dropkickninja5379 Yep. He would have given the ball to Marshal Faulk more than 19 times.

Shanahan is the most overrated name in football

@@Thundergun5 After watching the Eagles Fred Flintstone offense for the last two years; believe me Shannahan's offense is Space Age in comparison.

Run cmc run cmc dear god!!!

Chris Jones a Free Ticket ??? ... even Mahomes would likely been in disbelief & failed !!!

Are you aware of the definition of a blitz? Bringing 5 or more men to rush the QB, which the Chiefs absolutely did on that play. They actually brought 6, but one pulled back out to spy or cover. So, it confused the offensive linemen, which led to Jones going unblocked.

We have a similar clown in GB...both of em cut from the same cloth...

I’m a niners fan and have been saying the same thing as you since the falcons Super Bowl. Why are you trying to make Matt Ryan , jimmy G, or Brock purdy the star. When you have one main back you traded picks for and 2 other capable backs with fresh legs since you didn’t use them much the whole postseason.

3rd? He's only been to 2 and all loses came from Chiefs...

@@k-town8163 He’s been to 3 SBs. Falcons as OC (1) and 49ers as HC (2). Add 1+2=3

@@alfsimmons3762I'm surprise 49ers fans can count

That was under Bill Walsh, a great coach.

If you make it to enough Super Bowls, you'll eventually lose. Though losing 3 within 10-15 years without a win in that time is rough.

@@trollhunter3944 losing 3 in a row is tough

Don't get too down--you could be a Cards fan (like me).... :)

@@philroche4792 true

And to think Dan Quinn took the brunt of the heat for that game.

~ This why KYLE demanded a contract extension early in the season (for still winning NOTHING). ~ As a narcissist, he knows his nature and lack of impulse control. ~ At least we know there will be no 'revenge' or 'bounce back' next season, as we all know that we are DONE. ~ An overwhelming vote of 'NO confidence ' on KYLE, has finally arrived. ~ NO ONE from the organization ( esp. KYLE!) has APOLIGIZED TO THE FANS ! ! What the hell ......? ! ?

The truth about it 49ers should have never been in the super Bowl, Green Bay should have been they were better than the 49ers.

@@garyknox7426 Yes , so TRUE !

Shanahan, vastly OVERRATED

GB HC a similar game losing boob in the clutch

But Dan Campbell was a grown up man and took ownership of it. Kyle is an entitled son of a famous coach and acts like a litte boy when things go wrong. He never owns it.

@@tomb2429Really? I thought Kyle was the only dweeb little boy that never takes ownership of a loss.

​@@sueprator9314Campbell was playing with house money and his balls got too big

What is sickening is Kyle gets away with this because he has the owner Jed in his pocket. Jed is a dork that only cares about revenue. WE ARE STUCK.

As a Dolphins fan, I saw some of those same attributes in Mike McDaniel this season too. Every offensive play is a rush to beat the play clock…not to mention all the other little things that they seem unprepared for. The Shanahan coaching tree……..

That’s what I think. Who in their right mind thinks they’re getting the ball back from Mahomes with the game in the line. That guy is extraordinary at making sure he has the ball last

He always lies

Yes.

@@fredawalker Egomaniac has no time for details

Never get involved in a land war in Asia and never give Patrick Mahomes 4 downs when the game is on the line.

Kyle’s reasoning for taking ball first could be to rest his defense and hopefully get 3rd possession, which would be good reason

Now he can rest the defense for the entire offseason.

​@@cl5619Kyle Shanahan is a choke artist.

Exactly. The team that goes second also has the benefit of using all four downs as they know what they need to do.

​@@cl5619he didn't say anything about resting his defense. And that's not a good enough reason considering all the benefits of going second.

Kyle folds at any hint of adversity in a game. It’s like the game has to be perfect or else he gives up. He also is poor at designing passing plays. Where were the screen plays in that game to neutralize the blitz? Kyle thinks he is the smartest man alive and that he can call his slow developing pass plays that never seem to work.

Screen plays and the blocking that happens wasn't even in the book smh... tha'ts like a staple of who we are! You are right@@JaneDoey

Agreed it's not about winning or losing the game but rather situational awareness. When they picked off mahomes earlier in the third quarter it was time to pound the ball up the middle and make sure you get at least a field goal out of it. When he needs to find plays to get the momentum back he really struggles. There's no shame in losing the game as long as you are playing to your strengths and if they stop you , you can live with it.

​@JaneDoey he folds because he's never had to face any adversity. He was given all the accolades and terms like whiz kid or offensive genius but hasn't done anything to earn it.

_Thank_ you, yes, as someone who only watched this sport starting last year I noticed the same thing. He seeks control (great play-caller). But people who seek control feel like they have it when they make conjecture. The next step ("like these yahoos talking here who somehow 'decided' Kyle's ego was responsible even though 1) they don't know he has one, 2) that it even expresses itself this way or 3) affected any play-calling) is to state the conjecture again as if it were a fact, then proceed from there. Treating one's conjecture as fact releases endorphins. & a _LOT_ of human behavior can be explained by just that. Again, how these 'experts' 'concluded' that Shanahan's ego was 100% responsible for losing this game is a nice microcosm of this. Once things don't follow his Preconceived Notions (PNs) though, exactly like you said, Shanahan doesn't plan for those contingencies. He's not _quite_ as bad as Matt Lafleur (who seems to require a minimum of 20 minutes playing time to adjust) but he always thinks he'll come up with something if needed & never truly does. I don't even _like_ Andy Reid. He has forced Every Single QB Into playing His Way & it had always failed. One can't even say Mahomes suits him. He's changed how he calls games to suit Mahomes. But Alex Smith didn't suit Reid's schemes nor did Donovan McNabb. Both played better with short passes & more rushes mixed in & Reid hates doing that. But he *does prepare* way better than possibly any other HC. The problem with Not Preparing is this: being in a situation you didn't prepare for causes stress. When stressed, we defend our PNs. Look at Sean McDermott, Mike McCarthy & now Steve Wilks: all of them revert to calling Familiar Plays like how people eat Comfort Food when stressed during games. Not plays that work: just whichever ones they've been familiar with the longest. Shanahan may not quite do that, but the human instinct is to search first among Familiar Plays, not innovative ones. So you are correct. I'm just more or less detailing "how humans get there." This is way worse in politics. We *can change* many a social problem. But trying stresses us, voting For Candidates to then leave all such decision-making in Their Hands = familiar, so people keep reelecting *politicians* as if that meant 'Appealing To 'Government'' as if 'Government' were a Living Person who listens to us _through_ politicians... let's face it logic doesn't rule most people.

That only the defense can win on first possession is reason enough to kick.

You mean Chris JONES?

@@beaulah_califa9867 Yes, I meant to go back and edit it but I got too busy and forgot.

@@beaulah_califa9867 Did you see the play or are you only here to correct my mistake?

He hoards them like nuggies.

Amen. No end in sight. Sadly

nope. you clearly never played any sports.

Twice. He wasn't the head coach when the Falcons lost

@@Firefly-trike and when has an offensive coordinator ever been accountable or responsible for losing a game there is a head coach could override every decision that you make so that’s nonsense. He was the head coach twice in a Super Bowl and lost not three times.

@@Firefly-trike Even if I found this premise reasonable, by all means, _what_ should he have learned? I mean you've *watched him* lose twice this way. What did _you_ learn? What exactly did he *do* that caused this? We just listened to 'experts' literally throw around conjecture determining nothing, then ending with Shanahan's ego being an acceptable premise. They literally just filled in a blank with something Completely Made Up, which feels better than not knowing. But it's still a Completely Made Up suggestion. It's just filling in a blank with conjecture, not a certainty. You did the same thing. You _assume_ there's something to be learned, he should have learned it _AND_ that had he done so, what? He wouldn't have lost the game? What could he have learned that would have caused what else to play out differently?

@@cdsersd2d let me put it this way, in case people dont get it. Kyle shanahan has been an integral member of virtually half the teams in the entire history of the nfl that have lost double digits leads in the superbowl. understand that?

@@Firefly-trike I hear you. But as far as it being talking down to you, well, right here: shouldn't I have to say something to back up doing so if I was? I'm asking you to clarify what he You Said. Now you kind of did. (I wouldn't know, I only started watching the NFL last year. If anything, I noticed he shuts down the offense entirely if up two scores in the 2nd half, pass _and_ run. But that may have been because of Jimmy G. He stopped doing that this season). Plenty of coaches do this. When people are stressed, they seek comfort In The Familiar. They eat comfort food, listen to music from better times, & in the case of coaches who can't escape the pressure, Sean McDermott, Mike McCarthy & now as we've seen, Steve Wilks seek only to call Familiar Plays as if to comfort themselves. I couldn't tell Shanahan was doing this because, as I said, what I *did notice* he did last year, he wasn't doing _this_ year. Now I'm searching my memory for games where he abandoned the run. (I didn't even notice he'd done this in this game though). It's coming up blank. I _did notice_ he tried long passes even though Purdy seems to have no accuracy whatever beyond 20 yards, but since that went _against_ what I saw last year, I saw that as a good thing & not The Usual. But I'll take your word for it - now that you've clarified it. 🙂

True but he was also the OC in that historical loss to Pats in SB To me that counts also

But Kyle still wouldn't have gotten his 3rd poss because Andy is going for two if they score.

@@thud9797 would he really have taken a chance on blowing the sb on a 2 pt conversion.....with his d?

Our spirit is broken, and KYLE has a vote of No confidence. It was All or nothing and we lost. Too many players are going to leave. It will take us years to recover from this. Bad MOJO for being so arrogant. Too many players obsessed with marketing and dooms us. Bosa is an idiot, Kittle is trying to be Zoolander and Deebo and Trent need to lose the boombox. KYLE is NOT a leader of Men and crumbles in the heats of battle. Cowardly and embarassing and not the 49ER legacy.

We Need too Fire Kyle please Call Bill We will SB Ok

Fact. BIG fact

Didn’t Romo explain it at the end of regulation?

That's ultimately on Quinn...if he didn't like what he saw from Kylie, he could've told him so.......

When they intercepted mahomes early in the third they needed to run the ball. They were close to FG range. Inexcusable to not come away with any points there. It was not ideal like what we gave them on muffed punt but it could have made up for it here.

Yep. Loses NFC and superbowls.
