SB came down to this

[More Cowbell]

Pass protection and offensive scheme. Purdy had open recievers all day. The 9ers OL couldn't  handle the KC pass rush. They also didn't  adjust to the pass rush calling plays like screens and quick passes. 

[DoubleDown]

Purdy had a solid game against a very good KC defense.  He didn't wilt under the pressure.

The San Francisco defense lost the game.  Two chances to win the game with a lead at the end of the 4th and overtime, and they failed to make a stop both times.

Sorry, what did it come down to?  Cant tell if it was, protection, scheme, pass rush or lack of adjustments.

[DJF71]

Shanny stopped running the ball and that's what cost them the game. 

[varjet]

I think in the end Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Isaiah Pacheco willed their team to victory.   You always want the star QB to win you the SB.  

The 49ers did pretty well with a very good 7th round QB getting them to OT in the Super Bowl.  

If Mahomes gets hurt, just like when Brady gets hurt, his team is toast.  

The Jets were a poor man's version of that approach with Rodgers.   Their backup QB is Blaine Gabbert.  Is he better than Trevor Siemian?  He is better than Zach Wilson. 

[Adoni Beast]

This one is on Shanahan (again). 3 Super Bowls as HC or OC - all 3 with double digit leads - all 3 abandoned the run.

The 49ers offense was basically non-existent for 2 quarters. They got too pass heavy and did not call enough screens to negate the pass rush.

When a defense holds the Chiefs to 19 points through 4 quarters, they've more than done their job.

Yep.  Mahomes is a great one.  And there were also a couple of dropped passes that could’ve put a different complexion on the game.  Purdy?  They didn’t seem to do kap any favors after he brought to the Super Bowl and lost.  He’s the guy right now but let’s see when the new contract time rolls around.

[GreenFish]

49ers played a really good game. Mahomes and Kelce just willed their team to victory.

The Chiefs had a few self inflected wounds in the 1H. I.e. Fumble in the red zone. The Chiefs turned it around. You can only contain Mahomes for so long.

[RutgersJetFan]

The number of plays called by most offenses is far less than given credit for and coaching matters far less as well. The Chiefs won because Patrick Mahomes whipped his dick out yet again. Almost any sport, team or individual, follows the same pattern. Don't care if it's tennis or football. The best player playing usually wins, and when a guy that's so far beyond everyone else on the field is out there the odds increase exponentially.

[RedBeardedSavage]

In the last two decades, the sport has become: Do you have the best quarterback in the league?

No?

Then f*** you.

[Beerfish]

There are always a number of plays called in games that can turn the tide.  My vote is still the innocuous one not talked about much.  The blocked PAT, turning it from a 4 point game into a 3 point game.

Also as someone else mentioned, you have one Saleh like defense that never blitzes and one that blitzes creatively when they really need a stop.

With the corners the Jets have they should be blitzing WAY more than they do.

Purdy played great against a great defense.

It came down to the Chiefs D stopping the 49ers on 3rd and 4 after the 2 minute warning.

Purdy is still young he isn’t anywhere near the veterans who can change protections when he sees the blitz coming to get himself that extra half second to hit the hot route.  I think he will get it one day.

Kid has balls of steel willing to stand in there knowing he is gonna get mauled and still delivers the ball without fear.

Chris Jones saved the game by forcing him to over throw Deebo on that bull rush but he still took that hit and almost delivered.

SF defense could not make the big stop.......that's what it boiled down to

Yep, always been like that. Yet, San Fran taking ball first in overtime was a head scratcher. Like playing 3 card poker but dealing 4 to your opponent. Stupid. 

[TuscanyTile2]

 

The game came down to that 4th and 1 in OT.  When Mahomes ran for the 1st down, the 49ers didn't give him 11 kisses.

Spags out coached Shanahan by a lot.

SF ran that ball 31 times (granted 3 were scrambles).  They also threw 8 passes to CMC, who touched the ball 30 times.

You want to pick one play?  The ball bounced off a blocker's foot on a punt return.

Fire Saleh and replace him with Spags?  Sounds like a good plan to me!

Yes but if Shanahan stuck with the run I think 49ers would have won. Kyle Shanahan as great of a coach as he is apparently gets into his own head during the Super Bowl.

Gonna be funny when niners give Purdy a monster contract and then suddenly they can't afford to surround him with all pros.

I don't think Purdy is bad or anything but he is vastly overrated. A poor man's version of Goff on the rams

This is a really good point. Purdy has obviously played really well over the course of two seasons and can clearly be the guy for that team....however when the bank starts breaking will he be the QB that can elevate the players around him? Who knows....he's still very young so it's not like he's a finished product by any means.

Work for the Hunt family and Andy Reid or Woody? Let me think about that for a minute.🤣

It would be very interesting to see Purdy in a situation where he doesn't have outstanding weapons everywhere (like he currently does).  I would definitely have the concern you raised if I was a 49ers fan.

There was nothing magical or spectacular about what Mahomes did last night, even in the 4th qtr/overtime.

On critical downs at the end of the game Reid schemed up plays that easily beat the SF pressure and defense, either by running Mahomes or giving him the option to throw to wide open receivers.

I still think he'll be good. I'm not sure if he will ever be "elite" but I can see a Kirk Cousins type of career for him and you can certianly with a Super Bowl with that.

not sure you can.  Paying non elite QB's elite money has not worked yet.  The only model that has worked is paying elite qb elite money or having a serviceable rookie scale QB.

Prescott, Cousins, Murray, Carr, et...

absolutely.

chiefs get the ball to start the 3rd and niners get it right back - pretty sure mccaffery never touches the ball on that series of downs and they punt.

After another turn back from the chiefs niners get it again and pretty sure no macaffery touches or possibly one.

So two drives where you are up 7 and an opportunity to run clock, tire out a defense and potetnially put up more points and your best player and having success in the first half does not get a touch.

It is as if he is thinking ok - you expect me to continue to do what what successful in the first half but I am smarter and will do something completely different.

I simply dont get it

That's less than 3pts below their average. KC hasn't been an offensive juggernaut but with Mahomes it seems like he can score what and when he needs to

[Ghost420]

SF lost the game when they decided to receive and not kicked in OT.  

[Jetsplayer21]

They played too conservative once they had lead. We all know what happens to those weak minded HCs who shell up and go conservative instead of continuing to attack route.
