That's the Niners. Can never have both. He and that unit answered the call. And somehow, the niners still lose because...oh that's right, their head coach, who can't win with an all pro offense and multiple chances to do so.
I'm done with kyle. Have been for a few years. He just keeps solidifying it.
The defense couldnt get a stop for anything at the end. That's not coaching fantastically. At some point your defense has to be able to hold the line at the end of a game. Wilks kept calling overly aggressive and entirely predictable blitzes that left huge gaps in the defense.
The Giants didn't beat Brady and the Patriots twice because they had this world-beating offense. They got stops at the end of their games.
If you can't trust your defense to make a single stop at the end of a game, you don't really have a defense that can be relied upon.
sad but true,
The defense had to stop one of the two drives at the end of the game. Do that and the 49ers win...that simple.
The last 2 drives on offense where for go ahead scores....
There is no way to flip this loss to being on the offense.....the late game defensive collapses cost this team the Super Bowl...
Yall are hilarious... it never changes.
The same was said about the 1st Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs....and the same was said in tha Rams loss in the Title game.
Folks want to blame the tired defense, that did it's job for most of the game against a HOF Caliber QB/Coach in Mahomes and Reid....
blame Tartt for that title game loss for that dropped int against the Rams, when we had many chances after that play to put the game away with our offense.
Instead folks get protective about Jimmy G and Kyle...and quickly want to blame the DC of the month, or other players.
Edit- hell many of the usuals here did the same for Alex Smith.... when he couldn't convert 3rd downs vs the Giants (hell the whole year he was like 1 or 2 for 13 on 3rd down conversions per game)... didn't complete one pass to a WR in that Giants loss.
