Back then I was against Shanahan (pro McD) and didn't like the McC trade.
Boy oh boy was i wrong.

Would fire Lynch though.

Lol, you really argue anything after this game? You serious bro?
KS is GOAT already, everyone knows that. The only thing he needs to shut any of his haters: A ring.

Truth hurts.

The ultimate goal is to win a SB, not pile up regular season wins so we can rinse and repeat the following year. You know what they say about the definition of insanity….

Weird. You celebrate Ben Johnson's regular season wins, Jim Harbaugh's regular season wins, Dan Campell's regular season wins… heck last season you were celebrating Kevin O'Connell's regular season wins and preaching about how much you wish you had a coach like him instead of Shanny.

None of these guys have gotten even remotely as close to a Super Bowl win as Kyle has Okay maybe Harbaugh but my point still stands, no?

Probably time to ignore the troll if mods ain't gonna put him on TO. At this point it's obvious he's just b***hing for the sake of b***hing.

And don't let him lie to you about his age. He's posted before in the PL that he's also a millennial, so he doesn't know jacks**t about the 80s 49ers besides watching YouTube highlights.

Was pumped about his performance, he just seemed locked TF in early on and I was confident he was going to have a game .

The only thing I wasn't sure about was that punt on 4th down, even he said, he thought he lost the game. Luckily, we made a stop. Was frustrated with Bethune being an idiot and getting that pf..can't be doing that s**t dude

No Trent Williams, no Kittle, no problem.

This is a crazy season.

Hahaha him and his Kyle hater club will find something to whine about. Avg 42pts per game over the past 3 games!

We got a god damn good HC that 90% of other fans bases would kill to have.

This has been a problem for a long time. I expect better from a guy that everybody claims is a genius. If he is then this shouldn't still be happening. I have more leniency/respect for guys on the field messing up when they're going full speed and making split second decisions against top level competition

With Kyle it just seems to be a lack of caring. It's the same crap over and over with this genius. Let's pray we have no close games in the postseason, because Kyle can't be trusted situationally (remember Aiyuk saying he didn't even know what play to call during a gwd?) and that is beyond frustrating for me when we're almost a decade into this dudes coaching tenure

I'm sorry but you're completely unrealistic with your takes. I find it ironic that you mention Kyle Williams situation while ignoring the Ray McCloud situation and instead blaming that SB loss on Shanahan...

You can pick ANY HC any micro analyze their decisions and you will find things to complain about. That includes the greats like Walsh, Belichick, etc.

The greats have players who make their bad decisions disappear into thin air. Yet here you are...still drilling into things even when we win games. I guarantee you if I looked I'd see you propping up Sean McVay for winning it all in 2021 when he hade absolutely horrible decisions in that NFCCG but Stafford won it for him so now that's a bad coaching job by Shanahan while McVay is a SB winner.

It must be absolutely insufferable to be a fan like that...even when we're winning you're complaining and going through it to find things to get upset about.

I can guarantee you that while Shanahan doesn't always make the best decisions, there is always a reason to why he does what he does and I can guarantee that there is 0 lack of caring. Even pretending that's a thing is an absurd take.

Like another poster said, they have set unrealistic standards for Kyle compared to any other NFL HC.

They're so rooted in distain for him. It's stubbornness to the highest level. The double standards are absurd at this pt. This team and all its warts is 12-4 and playing for the one seed. None of them can accept that he's been a f**king great HC this season.

These guys can't be objective and give credit when it's due. That tells me their debate is rooted in emotional nonsense and they care more about being right, regardless of how stupid it makes them look.

what a pleasure it is to watch this man work. whatever Kyle is paid, it's not enough.

The f**k are you even talking about? That's not Kyle agreeing with you, that's him saying that he thought he had made the wrong call on a coin flip scenario. It turned out he didn't, because the team won. If they go for it on 4th and 7 and don't get it, that's more time on the clock, and potentially more time for Chicago at the end of the game. You have zero idea how the game shakes out had Kyle gone for it, so why don't you stop celebrating like you did a gotcha on Kyle. You've been so f**king wrong about the guy; it's gross that you have to celebrate a coin flip decision like you're some savant. You're not, just another useless weather vane blowing in the wind.

Yup. I have my issues with Kyle, mostly when it comes to the draft but it's crazy to me how some overlook what he's able to do as a coach and can't grasp where players have to do their part.

The Niners have the 2nd fewest penalties and 3rd fewest penalty yards against them. This helps make up for the lack of turnovers and pass rush. They aren't constantly shooting themselves in the foot. Nothing kills a drive like a holding penalty that nullifies a big play or a PI that helps the other team keep one alive. They also ugraded their special teams immensely. Two of their 6 pro bowlers are special teams guys. Kyle has to get some of the credit for making these points of emphasis during training camp.

One thing I wish Kyle would do is give CMC a few less carries and maybe more targets in the passing game. I also want to see them work Tonges into the picture more. All he does is get open and make plays. He catches nearly everything. Maybe use 2 TE sets when Kittle is healthy. The guy can play.

Where did the "Fire Kyle, Hire Ben" crowd go?
