Have we hit bottom yet? Nope. Hold on tight!

Shanahan was out coached by Reid. That's what the game came down to. The Chiefs were prepared for the situations and Reid called a good game. Shanahan started messing up when it got to OT. Shanahan is still among the best in the NFL. He lost to Reid a 2nd time. Wilks studied up and knew the best way to get Mahomes is to bait him out with a cover zero zone & put it on your DL to get to him & let Mahomes make a mistake. It worked for the Bengals & Bucs against Mahomes in the playoffs. Shannahan called a time out to force Wilks out of that defense with the game on the line & gave Mahommes the underneath to run & pass. 49ers problem is Andy Reid is a better coach with preparation, details & situations. Same issue for McDermott & Harbaugh.

Wilks decided to go cover zero zone because the Bengals & Bucs were the last defenses to do that to Mahomes & they won. The DL had to contain & run down Mahomes for the Bengals & Bucs. Shanahan made it easy on Reid & Mahomes forcing Wilks out of that gamble. Wilks did his homework. Shanahan showed championship panic.

You're the HC & in OT. You win the coin toss against a proven SB HC. You choose to take the ball first. Means you need to score a TD & play safe defense or score a FG & play aggressive defense. You defer & can play standard defense knowing you will coach to win on offense & have a possible out if you come up short. Shanahan lost this SB when the heat was turned up. He wasn't prepared for a playoff OT coin toss decision. Called it like a regular season game.

Shanahan should have deferred. We all know he gave Reid the power in OT.

Niners DL needs more life

Best QB play wins this game. Mahomes turn.

Nice play by Purdy to counter refs

These refs picking and choosing their penalties

CMC is playing hurt. big time player.

They are a WCO. You count those quick passes away from defenders as runs

Refs want to take over the SB in OT?

Flags now?

Shanahan has to be aggressive now. It's coming down to best QB play. Coaches, defenses & running game are matched evenly

Shannahan & Wilks playing it too safe. Need a playmaker on defense now to beat their man straight up
