I think this is the first time since Kyle has been here that I'm starting to have some doubt about him.

I don't think his play calling was really an issue today but there are just other parts that he needs to be held responsible for.

Kyle is one of the smartest minds in the league. But his instincts are bad.

That separates him from a Belichick.

Both smart. Belichick's instincts and ability to outcoach the opposition at critical moments was top notch.

Ypure right - he's never winning a Super Bowl.

I know the future, and the 49ers are never winning a Supwr Bowl ever again. It's pointless.

I'm gonna stop watching now, you've convinced me.

Might as well crash the team plane and be done with them all.

Situational awareness, time management, killer instinct, personnel (Bell over Cowing...), closing out games that you are in control of are not his strong suits. He will get analysts excited with cute shifts and motions and the fans too. But when the game is on the line you know Shanahan will CHOKE. He just doesn't have it where it really counts. Bill Walsh could close out a game. To think this guy can beat Coach Andy Reid in a Super Bowl.

Bill Walsh didn't have his top DC poached (Seifert). It's the biggest issue Kyle has had - not winning the Super Bowl but losing his top DCs to be HCs anyway.

And he's made terrible hires when replacing them.

It's amazing. He just can't get over his tendencies. Had the game in his grasp….went full turtle becoming pass happy and staying away from the run. Allowed LA to come back and win it.

Awful

Yes, look after so many times where Kyle has lost close games and blown leads, it's time for us to at least agree, Kyle has bad instincts.

He's made one great hire, one bad one, and the jury is still out on the third. It's been a bad start but its also early. DeMeco's defense didn't start on fire either in '21.

Big difference in not starting on fire and allowing a depleted Rams team do as they please.

The point is you don't make judgements about a team after 3 weeks. Let's see if our first time DC can adjust and if the team can grow and play better week to week. It hasn't been a good start, we can all agree with that.

However, we have enough of a sample size to make judgements about Kyle.

We are making judgements about Kyle after a few years at the 49ers and also his time at previous teams.

And while we all agree that he is one of the best minds in the NFL, somehow his instincts in clutch situations seem to be bad, wrong, not clutch, uninspiring, and allow the opposition too much chance to win.
