Wilks went to his old ways, in fact Shanahan called a timeout to get Wilks to get their D outta cover zero/zone cloud when KC had the ball in OT.

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.

I really don't know why the Niners have so largely abandoned the running game. It's just completely baffling. Now at 2nd and 15 your hand is getting forced a bit.

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

Wilks burning clock & playing ot safe

Looking like OT coming

Will Steve Wilks & 49ers defense win this Lombardi Trophy?

Chiefs D needs to match 49ers D

Going to come down to best QB play

Dude, they're struggling because they abandoned the run. It's not about "opening up the playbook". They've missed numerous deep balls. They need to get back to doing what they do best and that's run the ball.

It's a WCO. The leading receiver is CMC. How many deep passes do you think have been attempted and been incomplete? 6?

Chiefs corner tandem is completely outrageous and they have solid safeties too, I understand why he'd be hesitating to let Purdy try to attack it.

I understand, but if CMC & Deebo can't get the lead back Purdy has to factor in soon. I'd hate to see Shannahan wait until they're down 2 scores with less than 8 minutes in the game to make that call.

Putting Purdy in another tough spot in playoffs. Shannahan did that with Kimmy G too.

When does Shannahan open up the play calling for Purdy? He's been keeping the play calling tight since they had the lead. Chiefs sitting on CMC & Samuel has struggled.

Chris Conley underrated and still making big plays in big games

Romo at the top of his commentator game. According to him Joey Bosa is on the 49ers.

Kuechly & Davis hit him too hard.

Will the refs call holds on the Chiefs OL too like they did the 49ers? Chiefs OL holds the most of any team in the NFL.

Bill Walsh dominace in the NFL from WCO, to roster building, to QBs, to WRs, to coaches during the entire SB era.

It's unstoppable. No one can consistently beat it.

Hate the Panthers were too early to the Bill Walsh party in hiring Seifert. Defensive coaches like Carroll, Dungy & Belichick struggled until he released his book for them to study going into the 2000s. Prior to the 2000s Walsh's offensive students instantly dominated the NFL

Walsh dominace continues in 2024
