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.
And posts like yours shows me that casual fans shouldn't act like they're speaking facts and everyone else is wrong.
The catch was by Devonta Smith and nobody on the field yelled for Kyle that it was incomplete. You can't expect a coach to see everything when the refs on the field and the players around him didn't see it either. However the NFL office should've overturned that play but claimed they didn't have the proper angle which is a complete joke - you're blaming Kyle for it though.
Blocking Reddick with a 3rd string TE(you don't need to change things to make it seem worse) wasn't anything ridiculous. The play was there to be made. Aiyuk was open. Kyle can't call a timeout every time the opposing team moves their players into favorable spots. The players have to make it work and Brock would've hit that play 10 out of 10 times in 2023 because he learned from that single play to either step up in the pocket or throw with anticipation. He hesitated, Reddick didn't react to the fake at all(cuz he hunts sacks which is why Eagles let him go) not to mention it was an incredibly fluke like injury. He hits him a half second earlier or later and it's just a fumble at worst.
CMC would likely have a fumble in the SB? Like seriously what are you even talking about? Sure he didn't have a fumble in the 2 playoff games he played after a small injury which wouldn't have kept him out of any games that mattered but 3 games later Kyle shouldn't have used CMC at all cuz clearly he was going to fumble.
Like honestly I started responding to your post as I read it and i'm realizing you're in a whole other level of insanity. A playcall to get a lead in the SB is stupid because you leave too much time on the clock? It was 3rd and 10!!!
My god man...
Does not matter if he knew it was a catch or not. He knew it was close enough to look at and that it changed the momentum of the game. A good coach would challenge it regardless because 1. They were running the hurry up and to get them off sync. 2. Because it was such a momentum shift, 3 because it was possibly not a catch...
The play where Brock got hurt was stupid regardless. You could have had kittle as the guy to block him. Shanahan doesn't adjust to players though. Other teams exploit player weaknesses and account for players strengths. This has already been discussed at length as one of shanahans weaknesses so I won't devolve too much into it. You can't convince me that was a good play.
You have to look at the statistics. CMC was coming off an injury and overdue. It's very likely they game planned and targeted him specifically all game because Reid knows this and knows to game plan around player strengths and weaknesses. He could have alternated mason in on that drive but we get typical shanahan every play to CMC.
Yes again you don't need to throw a 40 yard bomb on third and 10 when it's 4 down territory anyway and leave mahomes two minutes to get a field goal. This isn't rocket science...
Then the whole not knowing the overtime rules debacle.
Those are just some issues. That's without getting into the whole could have had Brady he wanted to play for us. Trade 3 firsts for trey Lance. The veteran favoritism. Not knowing to give guys a breather off the field after a big play or handing them the ball 5 straight times. The moody 3rd round wasted pick. The list goes on and on.
He's a good coach. Just good enough to choke against better coaches in the playoffs or SB.
