Minnesota is undefeated and tough at home. Stafford is a tough QB to beat. The next 3 QBs we face won't be that good - NE, AZ and Seattle.

We played a two score lead like our D could hold their offense. They were walking all over us by that 4th quarter and it was clear the more aggressive team was going to win this game. It was all over when Kyle decided to punt the ball away on our last possession in the 4th that got returned all the way to mid field.

Honestly, it feels like no matter what he does in those moments it doesn't work.
He either runs too much, or not enough.
I'll be the first to say he's too conservative and then when he gets more aggressive...that fails too.
So it just seems like no matter what decision he makes in big moments or to close out games...more often than not, they're the wrong ones.

My only criticism on play calling was the 3rd and inches where he didn't run QB sneak. Other than that brock should have only had 2 incomplete passes if the damn WR's could catch. The pass game was dominating and honestly the rams were shutting down the run.
playing bell is a whole other discussion

AZ and SEA could easily beat us. At this point I'd actually say those teams should be favoured over us. I'm still worried about the NE game, nothing tells me that with the way this D is playing that Stevenson doesn't just run all over this team. Special teams will probably give up a massive play or 2 as well

It may be your only criticism but Shanahan not running a QB sneak on 3rd and inches is why he keeps losing with these big leads - he fails to put teams away. A QB sneak gives you a first down and most likely a TD. It was the same in the super bowl. He failed to put that game away as well.
And then you are relying as a result on 55 yard field goals at the end of the game.
why did he use our last TO before the half with 38 seconds to go? Keep going and keep that TO. Instead he let the defense regroup without Trent Williams and we had fumble and no points.
It is these small things that lead to missed points that lead to all these blown leads.
With his poor coaching decisions, Shanahan finds ways to keep these games close.

A contender wins a game like this. KC went into ATL and won. That is a well coached team and reason why they'll 3peat.

KC is the best team in the league. There Defense is legit. So far this year we are not as good as we were last year.

I think Sorenson thought he could replicate Saleh/Ryans D, he's learning quick it's not going how he thought. Those Ds had talented depth.

I think at best this team will stay somewhat healthy, make it to the NFC Divisional and we talk about all off-season how Purdy has a future.
And we sell tickets based on the promising future of Purdy! Wow big contract!
Also
More realistically we get bounced in the wildcard by the Cowboys and go home crying.
Doooooooooooooooooomed.
