Thinking Positive: How we keep our Super Bowl Window Open Long-term

Trade Armstead.
Trade Deebo.

Both don't contribute enough to make a difference. Oft injured. But at least with Armstead his presence is felt when he is on the field. Deebo disappears for a large quantity of games injured or not. I think I read somewhere. In 8 playoff games Deebo only went over 50 yards once.

Agreed on Deebo, Aiyuk is a better receiver and has more rapport with Purdy, he's healthier and CMC makes Deebo redundant. We can move Deebo, use the pick to upgrade the line and bring back JJ

Keep the window open long term? Easy, acquire competent O linemen.

If this Super Bowl loss doesn't wake us up enough to do this, nothing will.

Getting rid of Kyle and we have a chance

Kyle has won 8 playoff games. He's not going anywhere just because he ran into a buzzsaw QB+HC tandem in two Super Bowl appearances. Deal with it.

Exactly, DEAL WITH IT, Kyle Shanahan isn't going anywhere.

No need to over exaggerate. Mahomes was not a buzz saw in either of the games he played us. I'd argue he was pretty pedestrian for the majority of both games. The killer here is our team's inability to close the game out, and that goes strictly on coaching.

It's easy to pull out individual plays and point fingers at players, but let's be honest with ourselves. Every one of us that watched the game was stunned and how poorly called this game was for Kyle's standards. This is an offense that moves the ball like a machine. We were never a 3rd down team because we beat opponents down on 1st and 2nd downs. In this game the offensive effort was taxing. It was like grinding for every yard the team did not look like they were in flux.

Sorry can't blame the players collectively on this. This was a coaching error.

It didn't wake them up 4 years ago. The o line has gotten worse

He stays and we stay at 5. Deal with it.

Who would you replace him with?

The Niners will need to keep doing what they've been doing for the last 5 years. Rework contracts to try and keep as many players as possible. Be smart with free gent signings. Do their best to draft good players even though they will be drafting late in every round. They need to get lucky a couple of times.

This somehow never gets answered.

Emotions over legit ideas and conversation here, unfortunately.

I wonder which fanbase hates KC the most...us or the Bills. KC won't even let the Bills sniff the SB and of course we lost twice to them.
