We were not as close as people think this year. We beat a crap Seahawks team then squeeked out a lucky win against Dallas. We would have been lucky to get a win against Philly and it's highly unlikely we would have gotten lucky again against the chiefs.
It looks close but the problem is the Dallas game was a mismanaged and coached game we got lucky to win.
Then the Philly game was again miscoached during both the lack of challenge and not running it during FG range with Josh Johnson. That's 10 points in coaching alone.
If you call games like that against 4 good teams you will lose one of those pretty much guaranteed.
That's the whole point. You either need overwhelming talent and splash signings which we do not do. Or excellent mistake free coaching and timeout calling.
Our biggest splashes have been huge misses for the most part, Kwon Alexander, broken back boy, verrett, etc.. and there all half assed 1 or 2 player signings instead of pushing In all out chips.
This team literally could have had hasaan Reddick last year. He's on 15 mill a year which we could have paid.
Anyway the point is something will have to change in order to win 4 games in a row. Either purdy will need to be Montana 2.0 or you find somebody who can not make critical coaching mistakes. It does not matter how good a play caller they are.
