Kelce has surpassed Gronk as biggest goon out there

A bold statement, but never the less, one I can support.

Well I'm out next year.

Can't watch this trash product. 

 

Let's get young pretending to date a pop figure

[LinvilleGorge]

Mahomes accounted for 399 of KC's 455 yards. He led the Chiefs in rushing too. Pacheco was largely a non-factor with a fumble turnover and a 3.3ypc average.

Meanwhile, CMC led the Niners in rushing and receiving yardage for 160 combined yards. Purdy was 8/8 for 80 yards and a TD throwing to CMC. He was 15/30 for 175 yards throwing to anyone else.

Shanahan blew the game in regulation.  He passed when he should have stuck with the run game.  Terrible clock management.

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.

Running backs just aren't that important to an offense. They're a complimentary piece in the modern NFL. It's why even when Christian was here breaking records we still couldn't win over 5 games. The quarterback is king.

Plus Kyle fuged that OT drive by not going back to McCaffery on 3 and 4.

He setup the CMC motion to carry the DL away from Purdy and the KC DL was like... that dumbass has been trying to ride Purdy all night instead of feeding CMC, betcha he's gonna do it again.

Brace yourselves the offseason has arrived!

Yeah, the QB is king but a big part of the Niners loss tonight was trying to lean too hard on their JAG QB instead of focusing on feeding their best player. Trying to ride Purdy up 10-0 let the Chiefs get back into the game. For a good chunk of that game Shanahan just forgot CMC existed. Was he trying to prove something? Was he trying to make Purdy a star? I don't know the reason, I just know that Shanahan poo the bed in the middle portion of that game trying to act like he had a dude at QB while it obviously wasn't working. He had to fall behind before he finally went back to riding CMC again.

Thats basically what cam said.  Game changers are like 4-5 players, he listed Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow, Allen and Rodgers.  The rest are varying degrees of game managers, knowing how to get the ball in the hands of the playmakers.

I like Lamar Jackson, but Purdy played a much better game against the Chiefs than Jackson did.  Jackson made a couple of god awful throws.  Of course, I guess you could say that those were "game changers" but not in a good way.

That's Shanahan though, a choker through and through. However, as we've seen on the Panthers, just feeding Christian wasn't the answer either. It leads to a lot of great stats for him, but it didn't win games. A running back is going to have a difficult to impossible time trying to carry the team on his back if ever down in points. It's just too easy for a defense to focus, clamping down on the run. Christian is an amazing running back, but we all remember the number of times in his years here he couldn't power through and get the game winning touchdown. There was actually a compilation that trolls liked to post of him failing to punch it at the redzone.

This is only news to certain people.

Like the ones who value a running backs stat line over anything else.

wasn't Purdy's TD to Jennings?
