49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

Did the 49ers lose last night? Can't tell by the last page of comments.

I'm glad Kyle used Mitchell as much as he did. I was getting concerned he'd run McCaffery into the ground.

Also if Aiyuk didn't drop the TD pass and Gould made the extra point the game would have been over sooner. Those 2 plays cost the 49ers 4 pts. Not to even mention Mitchell slipping at the goal line although I'm not sure if he would have got in. Looked like he could squeeze through though.

all in all the 49ers overcame their struggles and won. Enjoy it.

I thought the game was well managed, with LAC overachieving against the run. It's hard to know what the game would have been like without the Aiuyk's fumble, the blocked punt, and our near-miss strip sack. Ultimately we made about 5 or 6 clutch plays, including picking up 2nd and 20 on our go-ahead drive.

Wasnt perfect, but it rarely is.

Did you watch Atlanta vs our 3rd string defense ? They put us out of our misery before we could even think twice. Well coached teams know how to game plan, irrespective of how talented the roster is. Kyle Shanahan, with arguably the most loaded (talent wise) offense in the league had to wait until the last second before he could call victory.

that is what you call a poorly coached team. It's laughable you don't see that…

Chiefs beat the chargers by 3. I guess they are poorly coached too

Please. Strawman arguments

Whataboutisms for the win. Absolute clowns.

Kyle is a below average playcaller with an above average scheme. He gets a pass because he looks the part, he's young and because of his name. But just like his daddy, he's a super conservative coach and an ego maniac at that.

I'm sorry but Kyle holds this team back just as much as Jimmy. There was a reason we were 7.5 point favorites against a Chargers team that came into our house decimated with injuries on both sides of the ball. And we barely eeked out a win by basically resorting to peewee football and giving the ball to our RBs to just run it down their throat.

Kyle is a liability at this point, and I don't even think he will do Trey any favors when he's back next season. We need to find a real coach that can lead this team. Not a hard headed offensive coordinator who plays not to lose and hold this team back

We were at 6 points we couldve "covered" but at the end the goal was to run out the clock not score

i do agree the playcalling for this game was not that good. We had a plan of going in to run it down their throats and we didnt stray from that and to the chargers credit they defended the run very well. But i understand why that was the plan coming in they were one of the worst run D and thin at the position

Edit: ill also add we couldve covered also but Aiyuk (who had a great game) dropped a bit of a gimmie TD

Drops and turnovers are part of the game. Doesn't always equate to making an easy game into a nailbiter. This isn't new for Kyle. Look at the SB. Look at the NFCC game. He just can't seem to put teams away when he should. Yea Jimmy is limited we all know that. But at this point after having the same offense for over 5 years you'd expect Kyle to overcome these deficiencies and find ways to close teams out.

He hasn't and he won't. He's arrogant. He plays not to lose. His offense is predictable and at this point is reliant on star players making exceptional plays after the catch or run rather than Kyle's scheme…

This is reasonable. They came close to blocking one of our FGs too.

missed extra point
blocked punt
dropped TD

all big deals.

The bolded makes the gameplan make a lot of sense. While I think Brendl is a liability in the run game, McG is a liability in the passing game and LAC put Mack there to take advantage. Kyle stayed committed to the run game and it grinded out a win. It got predictable many times but it's obvious Kyle didn't care because he felt the run game would get the job done.

Agreed. It's not magical, but not every game is gonna be like it was vs LA. People loved Harbs and his games were constantly grind it out on the ground stuff.

McG is an issue overall. That's not changing. We don't have a QB that can escape those situations like other teams.

If I had a real issue with the offense, it's the RZ offense overall.

Simple execution and the score is 10-27. Not sure if that's enough for some fans either way 😝

Well, I do think there's context to consider. I've got a couple concerns about our playcalling, or lack of execution. I'm not sure which one until I see the breakdowns

Aww come on you were defending him this off-season

I mean we gained 390 total yards and controlled the ball for 62% of the game and you are complaining that our offense is mediocre

The bolded ignores the chargers loading the box to stop the run (although still not being able to until red zone) which, in theory, should have opened up more passing lanes.

it's ok to be a little inquisitive about a couple hiccups on our offense. Per usual, we are rushing to defend Kyle/Jimmy in order to blame Jimmy/Kyle.

More than anything, I'm happy we won. That's my thesis statement. But, I have a couple concerns.

Teams have been stacking the box for 5+ yrs. That's nothing new. Mitchell was still getting like 5 yards per carry.

I got no problem discussing some hiccups, but people (after a W) saying kyle blows and is a problem…is imo, being dramatic as all hell.

my issue is the RZ offense. We're 16th overall, they're basically tied with Baltimore. That's gotta improve.

Of course you do. It's Monday morning interference.

Of course you would think McDainels is the mastermind and Kyle the HC is a concern

Just compare the offenses. This is shannys baby after 6 f**king years.

Wilson looking 10x better in the Dolphins offense. Take the blinders off.

You'll never hear players here say Kyle Shanahan is calling plays like it's Madden.

if you are copmaing about winning close thats what happens when you play good teams and good QBs not every game is going to be a blowout.

Eagles beat the lions and cardinals by 3 points what do you have to say about them? All of the vikings wins are by less than 1 possession. The chiefs beat a Ryan Tannehill-less titans team by 3 and raiders by 1 as well

I feel you only watch 49ers game and expect a result and if it doesnt match your expected result everyone sucks. I dont think you watch the rest of the NFL

Wonder what our yardage/ball control times were in our losses over the last few years.
