Did Rhule say that verbatim?

More or less, yes.

Was very disheartening and demonstrated he's illiterate in analytics (that say the exact opposite).

Well Rhule hired Brady as OC so clearly he values the passing game quite a bit...

Time for the huddle to analyze everything to fit their arguments I see...officially official offseason.

No one wants to address the Chiefs being 29th in the NFL in stopping the run by DVOA.

Let's spend all of our resources on defensive tackles, and take a non pass rushing DT with the #7 pick in the draft.

SF went away from the run in the fourth qtr and it cost them the game.

The superior QB won the Super Bowl......

Not addressing the fact the Chiefs had the third worst defense against stopping the run in the NFL

Half of this manta is that 'stopping the run' is important, when all the analytics stress it's actually defending the passing game to be correlated with success.

 

Do you not understand football or?

Oh shut up, bobo.

Are you just making up quotes now?

The running of the bulls.

He's got to be mad about something.

Seemed to me that the 49ers DLine was gassed in the 4th quarter. When they were fresh, they were getting to Mahomes and disrupting just about everything. 

Sherman is a great DB, but they can't cover everything, all of the time. Without constant, fresh pressure, well, you give up 21 points in the 4th quarter.

What that tells me is depth along the DLine is important. The Panthers haven't had that in a couple of years, but they did the last time they made the Superb Owl.

[Moo Daeng]

The 49ers were held slightly under their average rushing

The Chiefs rushed well over their season average
