I thought the turning point was when we got the ball on the Chiefs 45 after the interception in the 3rd quarter and failed to get any points.
Not only that. The defense forced a punt on next drive and got the offense the ball in decent field position once again. The offense proceeded to go three and out on three passes. The score was 10-3 at this time. A score on either of those drives would have changed the game. The play calling in third quarter was appalling.
Very true. I think if we score on either one of those 2 drives we likely win the game. The playcalling on those 2 drives was very bad.
This has been the theme of shanahans coaching career. It won't change. The dude crumbles when things get tense or don't go his way. I'm very much looking forward to how he's going to mess up next season
Cut the crap. The playcalling was not the issue. I gave you the details of those 3 drives above. Execution was poor. The plays were there to be made.
That's also ignoring the fact that we scored on each of our last 3 drives where we had more than single
seconds to do something with.
If you want to blame him, blame him for not targeting Aiyuk/Kittle more in the 2nd half vs using Deebo as the offensive focal point.
You told me to cut the crap, then criticized Shanahans coaching in the second half… this forum never ceases to amaze me
Disagreeing with some of his decisions and saying he crumbled are not the same things. The problem with the anti-Kyle crowd is that you can't even have a nuanced discussion because everything is so f**king hyperbolic.
Exactly. Funny thing is these guys are acting like anyone who defends Kyle are acting like the guy is perfect. He's clearly not. No coach is. Kyle has his flaws. His lack of concern to the interior of the OL bit us in the ass but it's also hard to put all the blame on him when the guys who are out there still can't do what they're coached to do.
Andy Reid had PS guys called up for the game make big plays while some of our big name guys failed to make plays or didn't come anywhere close to their normal level of play. Yet it's Kyle getting all the blame in the hindsight game.
Im sorry but no matter how you slice it when one or two plays decide a game im not going to act like a HC can't win the big one. Especially when I see several fluke things happen in that game and players fail to execute well designed plays. I may have my issues with who Kyle chose to feature but at the same time Deebo is getting a lot of money, he should be held accountable for not making more plays. Or the OL not doing their job the few times he actually got open and Purdy couldn't get the throw off on time or accurately due to the rush.
Now if we ever go into a SB and look the way the team did in 2012 vs the Ravens, then we can talk about a coaching choke job.
