This right here is by far the most logical post I've seen. Shanahan was fine. He called the right plays, the players just didn't make the plays. It happens. CMC can't fumble to open up the game, Greenlaw goes down on a freak accident running out onto the field, Moody needs to figure out how to be consistent, McCloud needs to get on the ball or be louder on his call to the players to clear out, etc. Honestly it took a ton of luck to get to the Super Bowl, our luck just ran out at the very end, it is what it is. I just keep telling myself that all these L's will make #6 that much sweeter some day.

RG and RT.
Agreed, though I actually think Burford will be good, just had too many mental farts. Mcivitz has to go.
Thought we played a great game, injuries definitely disrupted us. Thought Kyle called a great game, loved the decision to go for it on 4th in the the 4th quarter.
The new OT rules cost us, think it's obvious that you let them go first and try to match, you get clarity when to go on 4th down.
Next year resign Aiyuk, draft a RT and come back swinging. Still think we're comfortably the best team in the NFC
Calling a pass play with no hot receivers when everyone including Taylor Swift knows a sellout blitz is coming on the biggest 3rd down of the game is not calling the right plays.
Also he abandoned the run in the third and went no backfield what 15 times?
Shanahan has an obsession with making his QB the focus and it costs this team in big games.
One of the QB gurus on Youtube (I think it was Kurt Warner but can't remember) pointed this out last season, that hot routes were either missing or were poorly designed (on the opposite side of the read)
