It is good to know it can be done. You have to have faith.

No the false myth is thinking that it's easy to find a better coach than Shanahan and that the team surely would be better without him.

This one

Also I truly believe Brock falls apart without Shanny sadly. I think they're tied at the hip here

Some truth to that. Brock is a good QB and certainly good in this system but he's not on the truly elite level. All his numbers are down this yer but the TD% is the big one. It's half of what it was last year. It's no coincidence that CMC has been with the team during Brocks success. Now he's not there and Brock is forced to throw more downfield passes.

If Brock had been around 7-8 years and Shanny left, I wouldn't have so much doubt. Brock is still very raw and he hasn't played more than 2 complete seasons worth of games. I do think Brock is a little lost without CMC causing him to run around so much. It would be wise to see if they can get a pass catching RB (preferably a veteran) who they can pair with mason until CMC is back

Why do we have Patrick Taylor?

pt jr. he seems to be RB3. RB3 doesn't get a lot of play. Mason was RB3 last season.

It helps to know this isn't true - it's three teams: 1971 Cowboys, 1972 Dolphins, 2018 Patriots.

There have also been teams who won a SB and returned to it and lost (6), teams that lost back-to-back (4), and teams who won back-to-back (9).

Of the 116 Super Bowl teams 22 participants have returned the next year in total. That's 19%.

So, it's a 1/5 shot, statistically,, that either the Chiefs or 49ers return this year.

Won, returned and won: 9 (Packers, Dolphins, Steelers, Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys, Broncos, Patriots, Chiefs)
Won, returned and lost: 6 (Cowboys, Redskins, Packers, Seahawks, Patriots, Chiefs)
Lost, returned and won: 3 (Cowboys, Dolphins, Patriots)
Lost, returned and lost: 4 (Vikings, Bills, Bills, Bills)

Seattle dealing with a lot of injuries on defense!
