I may have more coherent thoughts tomorrow. Or maybe not.
Yeah, I know it’s hard to win the Suoerbowl and I know Spags is a great defensive coach, but this game really made me upset and irrational.
Shanahan keptcalling stupid plays in the 2nd half when they are usually one of the best teams to adjust.
Then the defense that was playing Mahomes and co so well seemed to stop playing.
Then they needed one 1st down with less than 2 minutes to go to be able to ice the game.
Then they had the oportunity to get that TD in OT but…
Then they had the Chiefs on 4th down and fell for a stuois play they maybe should have anticipated.
And finally they just pkayed soft defense that allowed the Chiefs to move the ball at will on that final drive. Seemed like Mahomes was playing another team.
And after all that they could have won the game.
This hurts. Deeply.
The NFC is catching up, the Niners will have a tough road ahead. The Rams are improved, the Lions are improved, the Packers are improved, the Eagles will come back… It’s not like they have an easy road to the Superbowl again.
