I'm not Wilks' biggest fan but the dude got scapegoated. That D allowed 19 points in regulation to an offense led by Patrick Mahomes and ran by Andy Reid. The offensive wunderkind could t put up enough points. If you'd told him before the game their D would only give up 19 points and force two turnovers he would've very confidently told you what champagne he wanted for the post-game toast.

Absolutely right

8th best DVOA since 1981. Just saying.

Shanny needed a scapegoat. Can't be having the narrative be that his play calling abandoning the run blew another double digit lead in the SB.

I dont think you really need a scapegoat for losing the super bowl in OT.  I think thats just an excuse.  I think if this was 20 years ago then Wilks would be a great coach.  I think hes a good leader of men who in the end plays too old school and struggles at making adjustments.  Old school defense just isnt going to work consistently against elite qbs when it counts.

Shanny should fire himself as the offensive play caller for once again abandoning the run with a double digit lead in the SB.

you don't need one for losing a SB in OT. 

But Kyle needs one after blowing 3 double digit Super Bowl leads.  And that's why Wilks is the scapegoat.  It's about the narrative setting in on Kyle, not needing one for just that one game in vacuum.

What about him going prevent and then Shanahan calling a time out to stop that crap?

Too bad Wilks couldn't call a timeout during the 2nd and 3rd quarters and tell Shanny "Hey dumbass, just hand the ball to CMC. Your boy Purdy has passed for 17 yards since the end of the 1st quarter and you just keep dialing up more pass plays."

Him firing Wilks is not surprising. Shanahan didn’t seem to be the biggest fan of his playcalling during the season. 
He was looking for an excuse. 
 

It is amazing how every team that went up against the Chiefs knew they weak against the run but never took advantage of it the whole game.

Exactly.  

I came straight to the huddle after reading of Wilks release. 

I don't care what anybody thinks of Wilks. He is great coach. 

I'm in 💯 agreement with you here, that Kyle should be the one that should be stepping down if ANY action is truly required, which in my opinion, wasn't needed. 

Especially sucks for Wilks, because of the timing. All the DC jobs have been filled. 

I know Wilks will land on his feet.  Someone will hire him in some compasity if he wants to work this coming season. 

Kyle is a little bitch.

Do you realize the QB they were playing?

 

Dude gave San Fran plenty of times to put the game away. The offense couldn't finish the job. Expecting that defense to stop Mahomes all game + overtime was asking too much.

There has to be something behind the scenes going on. Wilks was not the reason they loss that game.

Playoff Mahomes ain't regular season Mahomes

and I think sometimes you have to look into the # of offensive possessions.   They scored 27 vs the Bills on 9 drives (and that includes a kneel down drive).   Through 9 drives vs the 49ers they scored 6 points.  I mean, eventually, if Mahomes/Reid get enough shots.....points will come. 

So what about the Ravens game then?  They put up 17 points in 11 drives.  Not only that, but they scored 14 points on the first two drives and then put up 3 points in the last 9.  So that doesn't really seem to jive with your last point.  You kinda seem to be making murky unsubstantiated claims.  Like what's your evidence that Playoff Mahomes is on a whole different level?  To me, he's consistently elite in the regular season and in the playoffs.  It's not like a Joe Flacco situation during his Super Bowl run with the Ravens.  If anything stands out in the playoffs, it's Mahomes' Clutch factor.  And "clutchness" doesn't typically mean you just dominate the entire game, but rather your ability to come through when it matters the most, i.e. what happened in the Super Bowl in OT.

How many double digit comebacks has their been in SB history? Shanahan has been the offensive play caller three times for a team that's given up one.

      Playoffs!? You wanna talk about playoffs!?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      It's been many a year since we were in December talking about how games mattered for something other than draft order. This crazy, mixed up, unpredictable, maddening, uplifting and teeth gnashing season has certainly not been boring.

      Icky Contract Extension

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      If you look at Brown and Horn's contracts, expect to pay above what he is likely actually worth. This is the Panthers suckage tax. Ultimately, much like Derrick Brown, he has steadily improved over time and that's what you want out of your young first round draft picks. He was one of the biggest and most important question marks coming into the season and he has answered it conclusively. He is "the guy" at LT. Great news, one less position of extreme importance to have to attempt to remedy.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      This is maddening because, well, it's so up and down. When the kid's on, he can be great. When he's mediocre, we can still win based on a strong running game and good defense. When he's bad, and over his history he's this more than not, then it's a sad show that no one could win with. How can anyone know what is going to happen right now? Really. It's like picking one flake in a snow globe and shaking it once a week... there is no telling where it will end up. Things I did see on Sunday from Bryce: his teammates love him; he can make the big throws with good protection and good effort from his receivers. He isn't afraid to run. He can rise up against the best in competition (but he can also sink to the level of bad competition).  All I can say is if Canales goes with an aggressive game plan for Bryce that leans on a hot-hand running game, the team can beat anyone. If there's any wishy-washy play calling, then Bryce melts and couldn't beat anyone.  Maybe the person Bryce needs to win over more than anyone is Canales.
