NFL GDT: Super Bowl LVIII: (AFC) Kansas City Chiefs vs. (NFC) San Francisco 49ers

[Hockeyholic]

Firing Shanahan is the absolute last thing SF should do

But what good is he if he directly loses them SB's?

This is not just a coincidence anymore. It's who he is.

If I'm SF, and you think you have a chance next year, I'd fire Shanahan and hire Belichick.

 

[Squiffy]

Boss did a good job of setting the edge tonight. Impossible to do that AND rush the QB.

It’s a true point, and as we reflect on the game, Grenlaw out is a really huge point too, the SF D prior to that was giving nothing.

Was disciplined the whole game save for going for a sack on that 16-16 drive in the RZ.

Guess, the next thing for KC is who their opening night opponent will be. Den, LAC, LV, Hou, Cin, Bal, NO, TB.

Detroit was a surprise selection last season, so, they could repeat that with Houston as the opening night opponent with how their season went this year and hold the Lamar/Burrow games for later in the season.

Doesn't need to be the best game, but should be somewhat interesting.

Such a freak injury to Greenlaw. At first, I was like, there is no way he's on a special teams. Then saw it was him coming onto the field.

Andy Reid

 

[jcs0218]

And Captain Comeback in SD. Maybe Skippy McVeigh in LA.

But there’s no question that Shanahan is a top five coach in the NFL.

Shanahan isn't a top 5 coach. Not even close.

He is only in his current situation because his Father was a successful coach.

I can give many examples of his stupidity.

Belichick would never take that offer - - he’s way too tight with the Shanahan family.

Not enough people appreciate the miracle that Shanahan has accomplished in the past two years.

Going to the NFL championship with a worthless 7th round rookie as the starting QB and then following it up with a trip to the Super Bowl is an almost unbelievable accomplishment.

Shanahan isn't a top 5 coach. Not even close.

He is only in his current situation because his Father was a successful coach.

Please list the five ahead of him. I’ve already given you three.

You don’t get to four Conference Finals and two SB’s in five years by chance. Come on.

Andy Reid

 

[BKarchitect]

How many teams would throw their current coach overboard to get Kyle?

A lot.

Look how long it took Reid - who was an elite coach (if not always elite in pressure situations) - to get over the hump.

Talk of the Niners ditching Shanahan is ridiculous.

 

[jcs0218]

My pet cat would have won the Super Bowl if they were play-caller instead of Shanahan in the Patriots-Falcons Super Bowl.

I am very serious about this. My cat would have done a better job.

Same for the Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl a few years ago.

He can't call plays.

 

[Halladay]

Flatbrim is a coward and clown. Him punting on 4th and a short 2 against the Rams at their 45 confirmed to me he doesnt have what it takes to win a Super Bowl.

Aside from your puss, what five coaches would you take ahead of Kyle Shanahan?

How about Bozo the Sirianni and his historical collapse this year?

Maybe Spanky McDermott who’s never even gotten to the Super Bowl?

Mike McCarthy and his first round flops?

Let’s hear your top five coaches.

 

[Squiffy]

I’m not sure how much more alcohol I can take tonight. I feel like a lot to help with the hurt, but there’s a rational adult part of my brain that is fighting that feeling.

Going to grab a shot of Crown and see if that clarifies it.

I despise the 49ers, so I’d be thrilled if they fire Shanahan tonight. Then they can return to the glory years of Mike Nolan and Mike Singletary.

The only thing worse than the buildup to this game is when your team loses . Totally understand.

Seems unlikely

 

[GKJ]

It’s obviously extremely difficult to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. You see they can get out of sorts. Creating mistakes is possible. Obviously that’s harder when it gets to winning time, but you gotta be ready to attack and score touchdowns when they do make a mistake. We did see the Bengals run them down trailing by 18 points.

The margins are so close, how close are we to Mahomes having zero Super Bowls? Basically the same margin we are to him having 6. Elite QB’s have lost to him the same as QB’s who are, at best, not better than Joe Burrow.

There’s a punt, a blocked PAT, a fumble, just one of those things go the 49ers way, no one talking about how ‘you can’t beat Mahomes with a guy like Brock Purdy’ because the actual one would have done just that.

 

[Squiffy]

Also sad is the end of nfl season. Man I love nfl football. Obviously we are all here on a hockey board and we got the stretch run of hockey, and playoffs to come, but football Sunday is such a thing.

See you next year NFL. Go 9ers.

Out.

I would like to see Garfield take the helm for a season... pick random plays with the touch of a paw...

Hang with me here. This may seem wrong but just give it a thought.

Kyles(Shannahan and Rittenhouse) out.

Bill and Tom in.

He also might have four by now if the the playoff rules were different in his first run versus the Pats and Brady or if Dee Ford hadn’t been called for having a finger one centimeter over the line if scrimmage.

Heck…maybe he has five if the Chiefs don’t inexplicably let off the gas after thrashing the Bengals for a half in that AFC title game that they were absolutely cruising in
Six…that may be pushing it. No way they were beating that Bucs team with their O-line injuries and Brady on the other side.

Brady may have 9 SBs if the Giants don’t pull crap out of their butt or he may have far less if the Seahawks and Falcons don’t gift the Pats SB wins (hell - add the first one with the Rams to that list).

(Not disagreeing with your point…)

i'm old enough to remember Dick Nolan!

 

[EpochLink]

As a die hard Raider fan, I can’t hate on Mahomes.
Guys legit, to be the man gotta beat the man.

Guys in a roll, respect. Raiders have to do their thing next year.

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Let's take a moment to remember that Flatbrim could have taken Mahomes instead of Solomon Thomas.

Let's just point out the Bears took Mitch Trubisky instead of Mahomes....

 

[TheBeard]

SF needs a better option at QB. The moment KC showed they weren’t letting the run game beat them was the moment the game was over. Purdy doesn’t make the major league throws needed.

 

[Terry Yake]

so are we just going to forget about how kelce nearly murdered andy reid on the sideline?
