Gotta remember this is not a 1 game thing even though it's easy to look as the breakdown of the defense in the 2nd half and OT.
This was a problem all year. (The blitz vs Minn., getting moved down from the booth to the sideline, etc.).

offense gave the defense the lead in their final possessions of regulation and OT. the defense couldn't hold the lead. the game was lost by the defense.
I think the SB was probably his best effort, but it was the entire season. Our defense regressed. Its one of those marriages that didnt work out.
Yeah, after the Superbowl, I figured Kyle would just build on it. He rarely fires people.

Let's not. He would be an awful fit in this organization, I could see Vrabel as an option though if he were interested.

Still looking for the consistent pass-rusher and edge-setter opposite Nick Bosa, and we need that guy to help us to get to the next level.
Chase might be that guy. As we saw in the SB if he has the right guy lighting a fire under his ass, he can ball. Wilks is not that guy…

I think after the call against Minnesota at the end of the first half it probably came *really* close. The compromise was moving to the field after the bye, which did seem to help, but the root problem of the pairing remained.
I think Hysterikal is right - even if they won the SB they would have let him go. Too many potential better matches out there.

Azeez actually makes a tun of sense
THIS - we should have never let him go!

How this defense wasn't getting 3-4 sacks every game is astonishing to me

Again, this, they probably should have canned him then. Just a hard thing to do mid season.

So they REALLY had to wait and lose a superbowl before listening to us fans about firing this dude mid season.

You can't keep giving the ball back Mahomes and not expect to get burned eventually.
