There are people on here who think Kyle has made some horrendous mistakes at the most inopportune times like Superbowls.
And then there are people on here that just realise Kyle Shanahan is cursed.
This has nothing to do with my question.
I asked you if you were Rich Madrid or if you were just stealing portions of his analysis and passing it off as your own.
I'm not passing anything off as my own. People can read stuff. It's a free country. Or at least it was once. Now it is just a country in massive decline. It's sad to see really. Inflation, house prices, the American Dream dead. Democracy is an illusion. Justice is an illusion. A rabid political system where both sides present a dystopian candidate without any attempt to bring the country together and that's all your worried about?
The point being that Kyle often sends out a player who seems badly equipped to do a job and when he doesn't do they job, the player is blamed. Kyle so believes in his system that he thinks any player can execute it when infact he should be attempting to get superior talent to implement its complexities and then we may not be having this discussion if Kyle is cursed.
Tyler Kroft's block on Reddick lives in infamy in 49er folk law but really it was a stretch for Kyle to ask him to do that and in retrospect the whole thing is a train wreck waiting to happen. And that is the way Kyle coaches. He takes chances when he shouldn't take chances and plays defensive when he should be playing aggressive. Kroft tried to execute as wel las he could but he wasn't able to complete on Reddick who is Phillys best pass rusher. And Kyle should have given more thought to that when he dialled in the play. Kyle should have said, "Hey, what are the chances of this play ending in disaster and us having to go with Johnson for the rest of the game?". Kyle didn't put enough weight on that as part of his calculations and it seems that is the trend in Kyles coaching career. I don't know if that is because he is the son of Mike and perceived as being "The Chosen One" since birth or if Witches did genuinely curse Kyle when he was in his crib, MacBeth style as so many people have been told.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
We see it time and again. How many people watched the OT in the last Superbowl with their hands over their eyes? The little voice inside their head saying OMG here comes another Kyle Shannahan train wreck. Just waiting for it to happen. Truth be told, the whole game was like that.
Kyle is cursed.
