Anyone thinking that a HC going to at least the NFCC in 50% of the seasons he's been a HC is bad, is not a serious person.

Guess we define legacy by the number of 2nd place trophies one gets.

good take 👍🏼

k so let's fire Kyle and hire Peterson heard he's looking for work.

Good take

Injuries are a complicated problem with many contributing factors it's hard to pin it all on just coaching or practice style. I think though it's fair to question coaching for their choice of personnel and usage, and in the case of the defense why there appears to be so many communication-related breakdowns happening.

There's so many breakdowns because we have a bunch of mid rd talent and backups playing big time snaps.

His refusal to play other players will be his downfall. Not running Brian Robinson more and having CMC as a 3rd down back or in the slot is his pure ignorance and ego. He refuses to change.

And our offense is clearly better with Hennessy at C yet he trots out Brendel every game and he gets destroyed.

Im done with him.

HA you think not giving Robinson a couple more touches is the reason we're not 10-0?

pretending Hennessy is on some other level is also ridiculous, the OL wasn't even an issue overall yesterday.

I mean I'm sure having $107M on IR has nothing to do with it.

these are also horrible examples on why you're "done" with him.

Kyle isn't always right, NO HC is and I feel like fans can't grasp that.

You're mainly upset because he didn't draft all the guys you wanted lol which isn't realistic

Brendel is an issue. No one can change my mind on that.

Never said he was great, he's also not the main reason we're not 10-0 right now.

we've lost a lot of talent and I think most reasonable fans understood this wasn't gonna be an elite team this yr even if everyone was healthy.

I mean our $200M QB has played 2 games this yr and we're still in the running for the playoffs.
Kyle, Lynch and Jed need to sit down and revamp everything this team does with strength training, stretching, cardio etc. Throw it out and do it differently.

I'm all for firing that whole group of S/C department…they did it basically in 2019 already though.

imo it's a collection of things, bad luck/playing football, poor S/C plan from the staff, players not being accountable to take care of their s**t, rostering guys with health issues and depending on them for meaningful snaps etc etc

He will always make some sort of backbreaking terrible challenge, wasted timeout, mismanage by relying too much on a player coming back from injury, or giving the ball right back to a player after a long run, or dumb play call like having the wrong personnel block or go out for a pass.

Just enough to negate any talent advantage and choke the game away against SB contending teams.

Also the team can't run the hurry up offense or understand how to correctly play from behind so its always going to end up choking away a playoff game of some sort.

The total amount of "clean" games I can recall where none of the above occurred is less than a dozen and that's out of a hundred+ games.

It's really bad now how much we are still trying to run the offense through mcaffrey when he's obviously lost a step as well.

Tony Romo never made it to the NFCCG let alone the SB. Once again...you guys gotta work on your analogies.

Literally none of these things you posted in the bold above happened or led to us losing either SB.

Like seriously what do you guys actually watch? Just straight up nonsense and absurd narratives. Like who should Kyle run the offense through with a backup QB, missing our top 2 WRs and Kittle out most of the season?

There's nothing absurd about it. Romos career win loss is 80-53 kyles is 84-69.

They both have the same amount of SB wins.

It's posts like yours that make me think of why people think shanahan is so great.

Let me translate this into direct examples for you so you do not have to think that I'm just giving you vague nonsense.

Not challenging the AJ Brown catch in the eagles game which was a drop flipped the entire game. Then trying to block Reddick with a 4th string tight end ended our SB run. Let's move forward. You knew CMC would likely have a fumble in the SB. He was coming back from injury and it was obvious he was overdue to have a backbreaking play. Not knowing the rules in overtime In The second chiefs loss.

Let's go back to the first SB loss. The guy doesn't know how to manage the clock. Everybody cries about the Sanders overthrow by Jimmy g. It doesn't even matter if he caught it. That play call was so stupid. Let's say he catches it and gets a TD. You leave mahomes 1:45 left to get a fg and win the game. It's just throwing a down away and not knowing how to manage the clock...

There's 4 examples right there for you of poor coaching. That's not even including the veteran bias of not running Mason down the chiefs throat even through he was averaging 5ypc...

He's just good enough to choke. Just like romo.

So basically every bad play that's ever happened is 100% on Kyle.

Why are we comparing a coach and a player's career? Am I in crazy la la land

It also wasn't AJ Brown it was devonta Smith who dropped that ball. Get your facts straight if you're going to have takes I don't like. The whole CMC thing I bolded is insanely idiotic. If you live life thinking in weird hypotheticals like that then go holler at people on a street corner somewhere

The injuries are totally puzzling to me. I've followed this team, and pro football for decades, and I can't remember any team having so many injuries over an extended period of time. I want to think there is some combination of different trainers and doctors that can turn this around but other than starting over gain, I have no idea what is happening.

If I believed in curses from the god's I would say that is the answer...but I don't, so there is that.
doing the best he can
