How the Chiefs Embarrassed Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers. 

Thanks for an awesome season everybody! We are already Broncos Country riding into draft season, I have 8ish episodes before the draft, let me know who you wanna see!

_Steve Spagnuolo is now a top 3 defensive coordinator in NFL history._

Steve "If blitzing doesn't work, try it with a different player" Spagnuolo

Spagnoulo said after the game he made an adjustment to take away the crossing routes even though that would leave them vulnerable to the running game and tight end. Kyle Shanahan played right into his hands by abandoning the run and not targeting Kittle.

The Chiefs really showed their ability to make in-game adjustments and capitalize on opportunities. Shanahan needs to work on his improvisation skills for sure. 🔥

This goes a long way to explaining why Aiyuk was so upset after the game that he could hardly talk and his girlfriend posting that it they may be saying bye to Levi Stadium for the last time.

Hell of a game from Chris Jones. Patience is running out from the fan base. (49ers) Look Kyle has turned this team around no question. But I really do believe he takes the offensive genius title to heart. It’s about the little details that wins you games. He trusts his original game plan too much, and usually it has his team winning but when they’re losing they usually never come back. Basically what I’m saying is that Kyle is not good at improvising.

I’m from the UK and in 2019 was watching a playoff game on the TV in London with the Kansas City Chiefs and was mesmerised by Mahomes. At that moment I decided to pick the Chiefs as my team they went on that year to beat the 49ers. Since then the Chiefs have been to 3 more, Super Bowls have won two more and I must be the happiest man in the United Kingdom because my team just keep winning and winning and winning and it’s great to see.

Funny How Shanahan didn't realize that Ayuik has emerged as inarguably one of the best number 1 Receiver in the game.

Kyle Shanahan and Mike McDaniels are great playcallers. But it seems like their biggest problem is that they tend to outplay themselves.

Purdy is still having nightmares of Chris Jones

Shanahan's biggest issue is a lack of humility. He's a smart coach and great offensive mind, but his arrogance and unwillingness to admit his mistakes (and learn from them) holds him back from being a great head coach, leader and, ultimately, super bowl champion.

I'm a big Shanahan fan but this dude had the gaul to fire Steve Wilks when he was the one who cost the Niners this Superbowl

The 49ers are the only team who doesn’t realize Brandon Aiyuk’s greatness

Kyle Shanahan needs an OC

Both mcvay and Shanahan are great at coming up with a game plan but horrible at adjustments. Spags is the best at in game adjustments I’ve ever seen.

Better coaching staff beat the better roster.

Great analysis! There's more to an NFL game than meets the eye.

Shanahan embarrassed the Niners more than anyone

Fantastic analysis! This is why the chiefs are a a monstrous dynasty, and have the best chance to be the first team in league history to win three super bowls in a row! There is no denying our greatness, we are a dynasty.

Scapegoated Steve Wilkes when this offense can’t do anything in the second lol

Winning in this league is so hard. It's literally a fickle game of inches. As a lifelong Chiefs fan it feels surreal that we've won 3 in last 5 years. The sky is not falling for the 49ers, and there isn't some massive gap between KC and the rest of the contenders. The Chiefs were one play away in each SB from being 3 time SB losers. Not taking credit away from my Chiefs because it takes an insane mix of health, game planning, coaching, execution, adjustments, a bit of luck, and guys making one more play in a crucial spot to win the down. We've been on the opposite side of these where Mahomes throws a wide open 3rd/Goal TD to Tyreek from the 2 yard line right in the dirt vs the Bengals in that AFCCG before halftime (then get stopped with no points on 4th down)... Or Dee Ford's offsides vs Brady at the end of that AFCCG. Just watching all the game tape breakdowns shows how razor thin the margins are between winning and losing in this league when two great teams are on the field.

*This video tells me two things about my 49ers:* 1. Deebo Samuel doesn’t have much of a future on the team 2. The O Line needs to be finally prioritized

Incredible to see Chris Jones sniffing out the run like a blood hound when just a couple years ago you'd see him break into the backfield then do his best imitation of the John Travolta Pulp Fiction meme.

3 of the 7 come backs of 10 points or more in the superbowl belong to Kyle shanahan. His playcalls aren’t why they win they’re why they lose. Vikings exposed this group mid season and shanahan made zero adjustments. If we excuse this failure it’s destined to happen again.

I don’t think anybody wanted KC to win, but now seeing how unprepared this team was, it kind of feels like KC had no other option but to do away with these bums

Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo out coach Kyle Shannon and 49ers.

and as a consequence of playing bad offense, the 49ers fire their defensive coordinator ... need somebody to blame i guess ...

What a great video! Reminds of how the Chiefs were just not ready for Tampa Bay, and TB brought it! Thanks Alex!!!

I cant believe they threw that playaction shotgun pass on 3rd and 4 in OT. As CMC was jetting across i was screaming for them to flip it to him since they had hardly been attacking outside the numbers at all. Kurt Warner's breakdowns also go to show that even Kyle's scheming is questionable at times, not to mention the lack of preparation

"Where Chris Jones lives" 😂

Wow that’s disappointing for 49ers fans. Makes you wonder how the game would have gone if Shannahan had used Aiyuk as his #1

That's an incredible game plan out of Spags... That Def is one of the best I've seen. Congrats Chiefs

I was called a hater and not a true 9er fan because I pointed out Kyle didn’t have nothing prepared vs Spaggs scheme . The same scheme he ran in the prior Superbowl and regular season game all Chiefs victories. Getting CMC involved in wheel routes would have destroyed man to man vs linebackers These routes from the the backfield < [

Ive been a Chiefs fan all 37 years of my life. Chris Jones, they better pay that man.

Spags has been the dog in every Superbowl he has won. He is a mastermind in throwing a wrench in your blocking scheme and creating havoc, and frustration. Every team the Chiefs play say they are gonna run the ball, yet none of them can do it. it has been amazing to watch. Pat & Travis gets all the glory so it's good to see people recognizing the D.

Kyle had a look of anxiety and uncertainty throughout the entire game. As a matter of fact, the only coach that actually looked like he knew what he was doing was Spags.

Shanahan forcing the ball to Deebo is even crazier when you realize that he had AT LEAST THREE GUYS (Aiyuk, Kittle and Jennings) who would have been far better options to run plays for against man coverage

One of my initial biggest takeaways from this game is that well rounded teams have and will consistently beat these avenger esque squads, and that the niners roster has more holes/problems than any of us wanted to admit prior to the game

As a rams fan this brings joy to my ears. Honestly not sure if they will get a trophy in the near future if they failed with arguably the best roster in the NFL and a shot at redemption against the chiefs. Maybe it just wasnt meant to be for shanahan he had his chance plenty of times in Nfc championship games and in atlanta vs the pats

Wow. Spags is a damn genius

Previously teams had to worry about just the chiefs offence, now they’ve gotta worry about the defence too. I Love it here #chiefskingdom 💪🏾💪🏾

5:38 this shift by Jones... clearly Chiefs defense, from coaching all the way down to the players on the line, are next level football IQ!

Glad to see someone truly call Kyle Shanahan out over some awful macro decision-making.

I wonder if Kyle could use an OC to bounce his ideas off of and also someone who can keep his “offensive system” mindset in check. Watching this video almost makes me think Kyle’s a narcissist and can’t even consider that HIS offense isn’t working. I’m a die hard Niners fan btw

And to think SF thought firing Wilks was the right move. 😂

Reid and Spags took Shanahan to school

Mahomes isn’t easy to beat bc he came back from 24-0 too !

Sick of hearing he's an "offensive genius". His lack of adjustments, improvising and lack of accountability is what's really offensive

Kyle Shanahan the “genius” 😂

Damn this might be one of the best breakdowns I've seen. Amazing work and editing, I feel like I learned quite a bit from this

Shanahan's system is unparalleled and his play design is elite. His situational play calling and in game adjustments, however? Both can be shockingly mediocre. He's far too rigid in his systems and stubborn in his game plans. This is where Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo schooled him. Both coaches made dramatic adjustments as the game went on and as a result, right when the 49ers started to buckle, the Chiefs punched through.

dawg, you crucified DeeBoo 💀😭😂

Good one Alex. Your channel is so good for letting me know exactly what happened. Good season man. Sadge

Kyle’s not the guy for these moments. How many more SB’s will he blow before we move on?

Guess what Shanahan fired the only guy who kept the game competitive

Impressive breakdown and analysis. End of season dominance as usual by American Football Conference. Just win baby!

Yeah idk about that last part you said on the niners being back in the SB … a decade ago, they had similar success with the same team but under a different regime/HC… 3 conference title appearances and 1 SB appearance, and nothing .. Maybe he does have one last run in him, but that locker room sure is gonna have lot of raised eyebrows and (potential) concerns moving forward… could history be repeating itself?

Pet peeve: assuming winning team would have lost if losing team only had done "x". Whose to say Spags wouldn't have simply adjusted to account for any adjustments by the 49ers? There is a difference in analyzing why a team lost and claiming they would have won if "such and such" happened.

Ehhh..."embarrassed" is a strong description after losing in OT to Patrick Mahomes, but yes it was a rough game for us fans. Hopefully the 49ers make fixing the OL in the offseason a priority. Kyle needs to start targeting guys that can pass block, and not get so dialed in on run blockers in my opinion. Those problems really nuked the 49ers as time went on, especially the right side in pass pro. Feliciano, Buford, and McKivitz just aren't the answer at RG/RT. Anyway, thanks for sharing your insight on what happened. Even if the loss was a gut-punch, it's important to see the pitfalls that can occur when a team's offensive line pass pro is bad.

If the Chiefs somehow manage to get CJ95 a contract and give LJ Sneed a contract, the league is in trouble next year because basically every other position is locked down. Factor in that Mahomes will get another good/elite reciever weather via FA or the draft this year and you can write it now. Chiefs for the three peat.

I still didn't think the run defense the Patriots played against the Rams would work. Don't the 49ers play Duo-RUN?

Shanahan is the Doc Rivers of the NFL. It wont be long until everyone across the league starts calling him out on his flaws that lose his teams the big games

I find it strange that Steve Spagnollo hasn't been hired as an NFL head coach yet.

Kyle will never learn, hes holding purdy back.

There were multiple times where i said out loud during the game, "no way, he cant be actually calling cover 0 here. Thats crazy". He had some super ballsy play calls. But Sneed and McDuffie especially were playing out of their minds during the Superbowl. And i guess with Mahomes on the other side of the ball you can get pretty ballsy with your defenseive playcalling.

Kyle shows his genius too much. Instead of doing the obvious, he always outsmarts himself and its SOOOOOO frustrating

Post an analyses vid of Deebo crying. He does it so much, it definitely deserves its own video

Out coached, out classed, out prep...

I am not surprise Kyle Shanahan got out coached!

GREAT VIDEO BRO. I'm sending this to every 49ers fan that I know

Old guy here. Rooting for the Chiefs, but figured it had to fall a certain way for them to win. No turnovers, stop CMC from running and pass catching all over them, force Purdy to panic and throw multiple INTs or get sacked. Of course, Chiefs defense have to play brilliantly like they did most of the season, offense get in the lead to force SF to abandon the run, then confuse Purdy even more, and hopefully, catch a break. Didn’t really count on KS being sort of a bonehead on a couple of occasions though. I didn’t realize Deebo was that bad in man coverage, but KS kept going to him, 3/11 is not going to cut it. The thing I don’t understand was why at 2:00 minute mark in the 4th quarter with the niners at the KC 35 yardline on a 3rd and 4 or 5, WHY did KS call for a pass instead of a run? A run might or might not have gotten the 1st down, but it would have taken time off the clock, or better yet forced the Chiefs to use a timeout. Then they still could have kicked the FG or better yet gone for it and iced the game like the Chiefs did last year. Worst case scenario, they don’t get the 1st down, but take off 70 seconds off the clock, and Chiefs have no timeouts. Or even, line up to go for it on 4th down, let the clock wind down while they try to draw them offside, then call their own TO to set up their FG. Either way, you take time off the clock. If you don’t make it, KC would have to drive about 50 yards to get into FG range with zero timeouts to set up the winning FG. You’re going to OT anyway may as well take as much time off the clock. SF just left too much time for MaHomes, along with 2 timeouts to either tie or win the game. KC took a shot at the end zone and dame near won the game in regulation. Then taking the ball first in OT. I don’t really have a problem with that, except your offense had damn well better score a TD, because kicking the FG is just plain stupid. Anyway it made for an exciting game, one that the niners lost. Go three peat Chiefs!

Great analysis but that last line isnt a guarantee. I think they have 1 more yr of brocks rookie scale contract. Meaning next year is likely the last time they have 6 pro bowlers on offense. If they dont win next year the core will change. Brock will have to truly become elite if theyre to win with less overall talent after next year

Big thanks for the step-by-step analysis, so eye-opening for a non player like myself. You make the game even more beautiful to watch.

As a long time Chiefs fan I have to say this is one of most honest breakdowns out there.

They let Kyle Shanahan be Kyle Shanahan

Yea maybe hold off on the 49er Super Bowl talk a little bit 😂

This is the best breakdown of the game I have seen, thank you.

Alex, your analysis is epic!!! You do the BEST NFL stuff on the internet! By far!! Thank you!!!

Deebo should have been RB2 and had 8 carries for 48 yards JFK

Alternate title: How to make AlexRollinsNFL eat his words about Purdy destroying the blitz.

No holding calls on the Chiefs OL? Amazing.

Deebo had a step on mcduffie until he realized the ball was thrown late and had to backtrack

Not even a 49er fan, BUT it was literally a 3 point game

It’s hilarious how well cover zero was working for the chiefs and Shanahan had to actually call a time out on the final drive to get his DC to not call it on a specific play lol. Mahomes was cooking them on cover zero at the end cuz obviously he would lol. That play calling was atrocious. Get in your base and hold on for dear life.

Incredible video. This is next world/next level.

Great video I really enjoyed watching.

They most certainly didn’t embarrass Kyle. That was a great, close game between two top teams

Another thing to add Chris jones… not bad at football

Great analysis. Learned a lot! I knew but wouldn’t’ve been able to explain it!!

I remember folks saying the 49's were the better team the first time the Chiefs beat them in a Super bowl. I guess some things never change.

Shanahan definitely needs to be fired

49ers: lose star linebacker, lose star guard, horrible 4th quarter defensive playcalling alex: how the chiefs ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASSED the 49ers AWFUL and UNPREPARED team (even though they were 100x more prepared seemingly in the first half and completely dominated before losing key players to injury) -_- not a 49ers fan, just loved watching these videos but the past few months it seems like you don't even watch half the games you talk about

My biggest takeaway from this video was that Spags outcoached Shanahan. To make it worse, Shanahan's adjustments were of no effect because Spags had a counter. Niners glaring weakness is the O-Line and has been for several years now. These weaknesses need to be addressed in the off-season without a doubt.

Great breakdown! Thank you for being a creator.

Did you know? Kyle Shanahan is the only coach in the NFL that DOESN'T employ an offensive coordinator?

So the Niners lose on the last play of overtime in the Superbowl and your takeaway is shaman was embarrassed? This same chiefs defense who I guess have been embarrassing teams all season including the MVP of the season in Lamar Jackson holding him to 10 points. This same Ravens team who was heralded as the best team in the NFL this year. It took a fluky bounce on a punt return, a fluky injury to one of the best linebackers in the game and other key injuries to the defense late in the game for the Chiefs to grind this game out. The chiefs had not driven the length of the field for a touchdown all game until the game winning drive in overtime. If anyone of the fluky plays had not happened the narrative would be how the Niners held mahomes and the chiefs in check and how shanahan embarrassed Andy Reid. Kelce was a total non factor until Greenlaws injury. Not to mention the online breakdown late in the game. Oh, did I mention 7 fumbles in the game 5 by the chiefs and the chiefs recovered 6? Some days the ball just doesn't bounce your way. Any one of these factors could easily have changed the game. All that being said, sometimes you just got to give it up to the Chiefs and mahomes being mahomes. This was a great game with 2 heavyweights going toe to toe.

What an amazing break down. Thanks man 👏✌️

I wouldn't be suprised if Aiyuk leaves. He was not given the No.1 focus in the SB even though he's been the No.1 reciever all year

Funny how they let Chris Jones go unblocked on the last play. What a convenient way to sell the game
