Didn't Kittle say they did go over the playoff OT rules before the start of the season and that Juice simply didn't recall doing so?
No. AA said they found the rules from the in stadium scoreboard
Here it is: https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/181376-remembers-explaining-playoff-overtime-players/
this is hilariously weak. in the immediate aftermath, players confirmed not only did they not know the rules, but it was never discussed. kyle even admits this! he says the team went over OT, but we didn't go over it with the players. so what george is doing, way after the fact, is known as being a good company man. that's who he is.
and btw, if you follow the link george says yea i'm 'pretty sure', so even he doesn't pound the table and say it happened.
The thing is, a coach is there to help keep his players prepared. Understanding that players do forget things... especially in stressful situations. Pat Mahomes and Chris Jones said after the game, that in the beginning of the week Andy Reid and the coaches went over the overtime rules again and what they planned to do, until it annoyed the players.
Even if what Kittle is saying is true, that's still Kyle doing his team a disservice, IN THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THEIR LIVES, by not reminding them about the new rules going into the game. And instead relying on them to remember what happened in the offseason. But yeah I don't believe Kittle, and agree he was just being a good company man.
all of this. and ppl say oh it's not a big deal. ok if it's not a big deal, why is george talking about it in the summer? why are we talking about it now? that indicates it is a big deal. after all, it's still being discussed. it's a red flag that we were not as prepared as we should have been.
As we said 10 months ago. odds are the SB defeat was the apex and the downfall for this regime. I say that statistically btw. Those are just how I see the odds.
