I agree with you. I rewatched the SB and KC was getting frustrated and 2 things really changed the game. #1 was Greenlaw getting injured & #2 was the muffed punt. The fumbles by them and us were a wash. KC was struggling to do anything and the turnover on the punt recovery and quick 1 play TD gave them life. Just goes to show that the coaches can only do so much and lucky plays can turn a game around. It sucks that they lost but KC did not dominate the game. Remember the SB against The Bengals when Joe hit Taylor with 34 seconds remaining? The play before, Joe threw an easy Int that the guy dropped. Luck can be a big part of winning or losing. As I say, Ca Ca occurs 
3rd times a charm……… right???? LOL Stop KC's 3 peat this season and I will be a happy camper
I know it didn't end up hurting us in the end because of the fumble recovery prompting Kelce to go all berserk on Andy but thing is they shouldn't have even been in that spot. Gipson lost track of the ball Mahomes threw up there. Should've been a pick right there.
But that's just another mistake the 49ers made in a game filled with them. Chiefs made a bunch of their own but a lot of theirs they got away with.
The punt fumble to me was the biggest issue as well. The momentum we had was gutted and it totally changed the game. Plus the crazy part on the play was we had 2 mistakes on the same damn play - the ball hitting Luter's leg, brutal luck but also poor communication and then who I blame the most: McCloud for not just falling on the f**king thing and per his own words "trying to
make a play"
This is where I get upset for people blaming coaches cuz I guarantee every coach tells McCloud and the other returners FALL ON THE BALL. DONT TRY TO PICK IT UP!!!
But these are all grown men in the moment. They all want to be the SB hero. McCloud wasn't even regretful after the game. Total jerk move. 0 reason to make a play in that moment. You got another big stop. Priority 1 is secure the possession!!!
I could at least understand if we were down in the game. Like I have less of an issue with Kyle Williams' fumbles cuz at least he was trying to make a play since our offense was stagnant as hell in that 2011 NFCCG. We needed a spark. In this SB we just needed possession of the damn ball.
He's at the top of my blame list for that game…tho we still had chances to win it so he's not the only one on the list…and yes Kyle is on the list as well but lower than some want to put him.
All the above
For the most part I agree with you guys but in my opinion, the most scathing part of the game was the 3 and negative after the Ji'Ayir Brown INT to start the second half. We had an opportunity there to make it a 17-3 game. Ball on the +45 and not even 10 yards at least puts us in Moody range. I'm not saying KS is to blame completely but the play calling during that key series was questionable.
BOTTOM LINE - Shanny just does not have it as a HC... he can't game plan, he may have a good O-MIND, but that's not enough.
Eventually, every AFC teams will want to play us in the Super Bowl regardless of what talent we have.. they'll just allow Shanny to lose his way out of the game..
AFC teams will continue to go public and say how scary and great our team is, but bottom line, they'll want to face us because we got a HC who tries to win w/his offensive play calling instead of game planning.
3 straight NFCCG's is pretty good for a choker HC. Teams are right to fear the 49ers. Its just a matter of time before Kyle/Brock tandem wins a Superbowl. It takes time for Kyle to transition the offense from an immobile QB/raw inexperienced QB to an accurate and mentally superior QB in Brock.
OLine has gotten bigger(Burfordvs Puni), and the WR's have become more agile and quick, vs hybrid option like RB/WR types (example: Deebo vs Aiyuk/Pearsall)
While I love you optimism the odds are he missed his shot. Imo If we win anything it'll be because of Purdy.
How it should be...players win games, great QBs win you games, Reid needed Pat to finally get over the hump. As great as Walsh/BB were, if their QBs were not good enough they weren't going to win much, especially no SBs.
And that goes for every sport at every level. You need to have the right players. Idk why some niner fans think that the coach should be the one winning games, it's so damn dumb.
It's funny I saw someone on twitter yesterday claim that Andy Reid never choked the way Shanahan has...
Dude forgot the fact that Andy lost 3 straight NFC Championship games. 2 of them at home and by double digit scores. Lost a SB to cap that nice run off.
With the Chiefs he blew a 28 point lead in the 3rd quarter...as the actual HC. Lost a home game where the other team couldn't score a single TD. Lost another home game they were leading 21-3 at halftime.
Can you imagine Kyle doing that stuff?
But Andy Reid bad lucked himself into Chris Jones and Patrick Mahomes and got himself a great DC that burned his HC bridges so he doesn't have to worry about replacing him. Now all that is forgotten and he's one of the greats.
