We had the better defense in 2019. They had the better offense. This last season things were flipped unfortunately the officiating in 2019 killed our main advantage and Mahomes made us pay for it.
Brock and our OLine unfortunately couldn't do the same to the Chiefs this year. Just how it goes.
We were easily better than the Ravens on both sides of the ball and had a QB who could kill you in the air or on the ground and had the perfect personnel grouping to disguise which we were going with and still nearly got blown out by the inferior team.
That is a coaching disaster. Both of Kyle's losses you can easily flip just one play and it's a win…and he didn't get the benefit of a blackout to regroup and work on things.
If our offense wasn't up to KC's because Shanny likes average system qb's who does that fall on? Shanny. He doesn't get a free pass for blowing a SB because the qb he took is 1/50th as good as the qb he passed on.
Otherwise we were both stacked and we even got the break of Mahomes playing like dog sh that day due to our defensive line. You can say what you want about Baltimore's talent but they outplayed ours. Not because of coaching they were just better that day. They weren't bums though. They had Boldin who left and became our best receiver the following year and he shredded us. Lewis, Nagata, Suggs, and Reed on d. This is a team that beat both Manning and Brady in the postseason that year you're vastly underrated them.
The coaching disaster is the guy who choked a game he had no business losing when the team massively outplayed their opponent. Which is what Shanny let happen against KC. Did it twice too as he helped blow the game for Atl.
These takes are hilariously hypocritical.
Ravens were just better and it wasn't cuz of coaching? Are you for real? A better roster goes into the most important game of their lives with 2 weeks of prep and is down 28-6 early in the 3rd quarter? Game starts with an illegal formation penalty. And to you that's the Ravens simply playing better?
You know where Ngata wasn't? On the field when we decided running the ball with Frank Gore wasn't part of the plan.
Also somehow pretending the 49ers talent was better because you get to blame Shanahan for passing on Mahomes is another level of mental gymnastics.
You heard it here folks any time the 49ers had a chance at a player we're facing and didn't take him we now can't evaluate him against our own team since it's our fault he's playing well against us. Brilliant stuff.
Keep propping up that Ravens team that didn't do sh*t after that run but discredit the Chiefs team which has been to the AFCCG every year Mahomes has started for them and been to 4 SBs, winning 3 of them.
Losing to the amazing Joe Flaccos is much more impressive…
And personally if I had to have one vs the other I'd rather see my team blow a lead vs never getting one. At least that tells me the coaches had a solid game plan and had the team prepared but things got away from them for whatever reason. Going into a game you're favored and never even seeing a lead means the plan was s**t from the start.
As far as choking games…the Chiefs were being picked to win by almost every media member so save the whole "no business of losing" garbage.
And for all the Harbaugh worship he followed up the never sniffing a lead in the SB to "blowing a double digit lead" vs Seattle the next year so give your criteria for choke jobs you still haven't shown me one thing Harbaugh has done better than Kyle.
