The truth is none of us know what it is Kyle needs or doesn't need to turn this around next year. When the season ends Kyle, Lynch and Jed will sit down and go over all of it. Maybe that'll mean Kyle decides to bring in someone to call plays, maybe it doesn't. Maybe that means they cut Purdy or they extend him (pointless to play him on a 4th year deal when that signals you don't trust him to be your guy). Maybe that means they move on from some vets and bite the bullet on their cap hit. Truth is we won't know if these decisions are the right ones until about a year from now either way.

And maybe someone finally questions Kyle's inability to Win the biggest game in the biggest moment.

Won't even be on the table as a topic this offseason. The focus will be on adjusting in order to improve enough to make the playoffs. No point in worrying about winning the SB if you can't even get to the postaeason.

It needs to be. Kyle has shown after 8 years that he still can't manage a game when it matters most.

If that was true he'd be 0-4 in the playoffs instead of 8-4. Those 8 wins mattered since they were all win or go home, too.

Gotta win regular season games again first and foremost. That's the baseline goal.

Kyles a friggin MORON for not ever resting his players . It could be a 3 score game in the late 3rd and he has the first stringers still in gassed and near injury.

Playing CMC was dumb a f....unless he wants to keep Mason and Guerendo instead in the long run. IDK. Kyle pisses me off sometimes.

Odd, up until his injury no one was complaining about CMC playing tonight.

i saw a million complaints about his usage since his arrival. i suspect that's more the convo here. football is pretty medieval in its thinking. baseball they monitor innings of star pitching a lot more carefully than this. if you look at regular season and postseaon cmc had like 400 touches last season

Never seen a team more allergic to the f**kin end zone than this one. Anytime we get close to making a game some b******t happens.

so, you mean, we should give up a game in late 3rd officially?

keep in the long run for what?

I expected a loss. Perhaps not that bad, but still.

I feel like these are scenario-based questions asked in his interview that, answered honestly, would have made him a difficult hire:

queston one:

Interviewer: down by 17, you drive down the field easily behind the legs on Mason who averages over seven yards per play on the drive. Mason broke a hole to get you deep into the red zone. What play do you call?

Kyle- give the ball to juice

interviewer: but Mason is averaging over sev…

Kyle: GIVE THE BALL TO JUICE!

same sort of response to the scenario "you're averaging over seven yards per carry behind the guards in a blizzard that makes it hard to throw… what play do you call?"

kyle: "what formation is the defense in"

interviewer: "unknown for this scenario"

Kyle: "I'll assume they are lining up to defend the run… empty set, push all the receivers wide. We're passing this thing.

interviewer: "thank you coming by for the interview, Kyle"

Kyle has evolved beyond the game of football. Hes so far ahead he's getting close to lapping the field, which makes it appear as if he is behind right now. A few more games under his belt to fine tune the genius-level strategy and the league will be toast.

Nevermind we could have remained more competitive with the bills had we ran the ball up the middle 50 times in a row calling the same play over and over and over. No one would see how smart we were if we did that

If you want to be the fan who loves a coach with the most regular season and playoff wins in history, so be it.

I care about Super Bowls. Winning them.

I'm thankful I was able to watch the Glory Days of the San Francisco 49ers.

Do you know who Marv Levy is @captveg?

Last year in blowouts…. Everybody said the same thing. Give CMC some plays off.

everybody said that. Everybody. Mason couldn't even get a single carry as the backup sometimes.

now he's hurt. And who is surprised?

NOBODY!!!!!

I don't like the players stylistically. It's like boxing: styles make fights. I don't like what we look like when key players go down. Maybe we are like the star heavy Rams as a loose comparison. Lose a few stars and we become like doodoo crap.

I kind of miss having like 2 1,000 yard caliber runningbacks that bring something different instead of relying on CMC. No knock on CMC. Same with our recievers. Once Aiyuk is out what is our offensive threat? Just flat.

Maybe Brock is on a slump but the cast should be able to carry him like our old 49ers but we are kind...yeah.

Also our kicker ruins things when he misses things. Miss Robbie

Unless the sole purpose of your post is to troll, I implore you to consider the degree of which random unfunny "Shana-petty-name calling" discredits your entire post.

it hasn't been shana-funny in years. It takes what could be a post worth Shana-considering and makes the Shana-readers consider you a Shana-clown instead. Perhaps you are a clown, but if you'd like your post to be taken Shana-seriously perhaps attempt to step your game up and stop relying on your most basic of Shana-instincts

The rest of us

It's like a massive fireball asteroid coming towards earth and I point out that its right there in plain sight yet people are too stubborn to see something so blatantly obvious. You know they see it but they would rather it all burn than admit it's there. It's impossible to miss.

For those questioning giving it to juice.. Kyle went into great detail on how the call was specific to the look they gave on D.

It's 100% a TD if Juice doesn't fumble like an idiot. It was the right call to counter what Buffalo was doing. The player just choked.

At some point, people have to acknowledge that once the play is in motion, it's out of Kyle's hands at that point.

Now if he had suddenly thrown three passes after gashing Buffalo up and down the field, THEN you'd have a great argument for him blundering the possession.

Agreed. I thought it was a great, creative call.
