Exactly. It's lazy to say we lost to the Chiefs TWICE because "Mahomes is too good". Give me a break. Anyone can see that we SHOULD have won both games because we had a better team. We lost because our coach choked. It's as simple as that. 20 and 19 points in regulation in both games will not win you a SB period. The first one we blamed Jimmy. No one has the balls to call out Brock this time bc he played fine. So who's left ? It's obvious that it Kyle and is inability to call a sound offensive game, but of course his defenders start nitpicking with cliche remarks like "failed to execute" and "player x screwed up that one play and that cost us the game". Of course it was Kyle. You don't put up 20 points in the Super Bowl TWICE and expect to win. Sorry.
Dude wants to post about lazy takes and goes with "our coach choked"
The irony making Tony Stark jealous.
Such a casual take to claim a coach called a bad game and had poor gameplan because the team lost. It takes two teams to play the game and KC had a great defense out there with one of the best defensive minds in the game. Think the Pats should've cleaned house in 2008 after Spags took it to them and their all time offense with a less talented Giants defense?
I dare you to show me the plays that were schematically bad designs or awful playcalls. Not "look they didn't get this conversion/TD" laziness.
We can make hindsight analysis and say should ran it here but when the play shows wide open receivers and the defense either bats the ball down or our OL can't protect the QB enough so he can deliver the pass that's not on the coach. That's a lack of execution. Blaming the coach for those is lazy as hell.
The gameplan Kyle put together was great. His playcalls got the Chiefs to go off of their gameplan but then we didn't counter well enough. That's the only flaw Kyle had on there. What KC started doing should've pivoted us to run the offense through Aiyuk when we went to pass instead of Deebo. But even with that problem the plays were still there to be made had the protection held up. So unless you want to blame Feleciano getting hurt on Kyle too your lazy narrative is just that.
As far as your "you can't win a SB scoring 19 or 20 points" let's ignore the fact they scored 22 this SB and look at the 19 number.
35 of the 58 SBs played the losing team scored under 19 points. So more than half of SBs won would've been won by scoring 19 points.
Just like we would've won this one had the defense done their job late and protected 3 leads in the 4th QTR and OT. But yes it's all Kyle's fault.
