Game Thread: Super Bowl LIV 49ers VS Chiefs in Miami

He's not special and probably never will be, but Jimmy G should do just fine and will likely get better as he gets more experience. He's playing in the perfect era to survive as a starting QB.

I agree and if the Niners continue to run the ball like they have, then Jimmy will do just fine.

 

[The Oldtimer]

I doubt there's a coach who never complained. This whole point about coaches complaining is well . . . kinda pointless.

Yeah I agree.

At this point, Kyle Shanahan is the bigger question mark. Jimmy will give you good but not great QB play, but now you have to seriously question Shanahan's ability to coach in the biggest games.

That is a bit harsh. Reid has been hounding like a cheeseburger-eating dog to get a ring, for years.
Shanny boy part II can wait.

I was thinking about that (that Shanahan is the new pre-SB win Reid), but Reid has accomplished much more than Shanahan even without today's win, and Reid never blew a big SB lead let alone doing it twice.

The problem is the Niners may never get back to the Super Bowl under Shanahan.

Good game...props to the Chiefs.

10 point lead is big?

It's 2 scores...It's a lead and ... to some it's big.

Well, I can see why you would see that.

It is when there is less than 9 minutes left in the game.

It takes a lot of luck to even get to the Super Bowl. Shanahan would be lucky if he got another opportunity.

Going conservative at the end of the first half and the 3rd and 15/44 yard pass to Hill were the two game changers. Chiefs simply ended up being a little bit better Sunday night. Future still looks good for SF. Congrats Chiefs fans.

Is there an easier job in the world right now than being Mahomes agent?

why am I picturing those state farm commercials now...?

I think we can question some play calls...but the reality is much like the 28-3 game, Shanahan struggles closing out games with the lead...up 20-10...11:57 in the 4Q , they get the 2nd INT on Mahomes. They get one 1st down, then go 3 and out...KC gets the ball back 8:54...they barely burn 3 mins.

The one that really stuck out...up 20-17, 6:08 4Q, 1st down they get 5 on a 1st down run...for some reason they pass on 2nd, knocked down, now 3 and 5 and obvious passing, KC brings heat, incomplete, they punt the ball back at 5:18, less than a minute runs off the clock.

Of course when SF gets the ball back, they're now behind.

I thought it was a case of an elite QB/OFC vs a very good DEF and that's how it played out. The SF front 4 made some plays, got a couple of picks, but didn't make enough plays to stop an elite QB...

For 3 quarters I was ready to admit that this may be one of the few instances where the team with the meddling QB wins a ring. Then the 4th quarter began and order was resorted. Mahomes was great and Jimmy G sucked, that and the play calling was the difference in determining a champion. Kyle should have run more late but there were plays to be made and his QB flat missed them at the most crucial time.

I really believe his lack of confidence in his QB was the reason he didn't call that TO at the end of the half. Playing with this level of QB is a severe handicap, even this defense and running game could not overcome it.
