So you come in here mocking other posters but don't want other posters to mock you?

Lol.

Nobody is raising banners for regular season wins but people are allowed to enjoy watching their team win. Just take the joy you get when Kyle loses a game and imagine what others feel when we win. Don't you want that for them?

But seriously...you, DrEll, etc need to stop the ridiculous narrative that other fans aren't good enough or don't care enough if they celebrate wins and playoff seasons that don't end in a SB victory.

You're not the fan police. This is a 49ers message board. The majority of people are here because they love this team. They're allowed to enjoy the ride even if the end isn't what we all want.

Sure, as long as you're being logical and consistent with your takes.

I don't think Shanahan is perfect. I have my issues with him. But I'm not going to claim Mike McCarthy is a better HC than him simply because McCarthy won a SB. I'm not going to claim Mike McDonald is better than him cuz he was able to beat Kyle's team with a healthy squad bringing his record against Kyle to 2-2. Ironically both the wins McDonald has 49ers were missing key players, including Nick Bosa.

I'm sure if you actually brought in real concerns/issues with Kyle to the conversation instead of using hypotheticals or hyperbole you wouldn't get the reaction that you get.
Hes getting the exact reaction he wants thats his and many others entire motivation.

The Seahawks game was depressing because it was a huge indication of the challenge for next year -- the Seahawks D-Line absolutely smothered the 9ers offense with only 4 rushers, so with 7 dropped in coverage (and no Pearsall) the concepts weren't working. The Rams seem to be capable of this as well. This was the worst time for TW to be out - but he's out a few games every season. Pleasants wasn't terrible - actually given what he was up against he did better than expected.

But TW being out changes everything -- the help needed to switch to LT, now the other 4 linemen are left 1 on 1 - usually the help goes to them.

This isn't making excuses - but Kittle also seemed limited in his movement -- not getting to his blocks quickly and only running shorter routes (and even screens).

Given the short weeks, and the SEA offense - the 9ers Defense was terrible from the 20 - 20, but held the m to 13 points. Hard to ask more than that -- even if they made both field goals it would still be sub-20 points.

The game was depressing cuz it was a beat down despite the score BUT let's not forget we beat them in a close game week 1.

Not having Trent or Pearsall(or another WR who can do what he can like Aiyuk) is clearly a problem vs their defense as good as they were playing. But we had plays that we could've made, just didn't. As bas as it was it wasn't a total beat down. And yes I also think George was still dealing with his injury from the Colts game.

The biggest thing for us next year is getting Bosa, Fred and Mykel back. Hopefully Nick Martin isn't dealing with concussion issues and takes the offseason seriously to get back and challenge for a starting job.

I think on defense we definitely need depth with pass rushers as well as safeties who can actually play well...

Offense we need an X so Pearsall can be WR2. We'll see what Cowing/Watkins can provide as depth and of course...OL.

You do none of that, you do nothing but nonstop troll then play victim when you get called out. There are plenty of people, myself included, who have called out KS for various things, they don't get "mocked" .

that's a helluva way to maximize your roster Kyle.

What's wild is that we've been clamoring for a good backup TE for an eternity. Now we have one…and we don't play him.

Tonges is good as a receiver but he's not a good blocker. Scheme wise he's basically TE3. How many 3 TE sets do we run? That takes Juice off the field.

Maybe it's something we do in the playoffs but let's not act like Tonges is the key to unlocking the offense lol. When Seattle is able to stop our run game playing nickel...a TE who's not a great blocker isn't going to suddenly break things open.

Yeah that should happen because juice sucks.

There's a reason teams don't use a fullback.

Tell me what he's actually good at that tonges is not better at?

He can't win on short yardage runs and hes a slow ass receiver that can't break tackles... IE he's worthless...

Ohh but the block....ohh but the blocking... Tonges blocking so underrated....

Dumbest argument ever.

lol you literally have people breaking down the impact Juice is having to the offense and how beneficial he is but here you are acting like you know more.

Dumbest argument ever...cuz you don't understand what's happening out there.

You have a 230 lb dude who run like a 5 in the 40 and regularly is tackled by 180 lb dbs. Tonges could line up as FB and do better than juice.

Juice is a slow wuss just like most of the slow team.

The clinging on to these dudes who have no explosiveness is the reason shanahan is just going to keep choking away sb and and playoff appearances.

Getting rid of juice is addition by subtraction.

The same thing as jennings. 7 of purdys 10 interceptions this year have come while targeting Jennings... That should tell you something right there.

Juice sucks, jennings sucks also this year and has been hit too many times and lost his toughness. Both are slow and need to go.

Mcaffrey has no burst anymore either.

The offensive line and the game plan wasn't the reason the Seahawks just crushed the niners. It's the fact that you had no one to stretch the defense and keep the safeties from creeping up. Then you had slow mcaffrey working his season average of 3 ypc...

Coaching staff needs to make changes no stay the same and keep slamming their heads against a wall.

Troll behavior is making claims without any proof.

C'mon, show us how critical of Shanahan have you been in the past.

playing victim. Just because I don't s**t on him 24/7 like you doesn't mean I've never been, or am not critical. Lol That's you and DrEli go to. Be better

Guys like you basically have the following logic.

Play Tonges cuz he had a big game against the Bears
...
Bears defense sucks who cares how well the offense played with him, Juice offers nothing special against a real defense.

Basically everyone sucks except for the next guy. Same logic a bunch of people have here wanting to fire Shanahan. The next guy will definitely be better...

Whatever the reason, good or bad, Shanahan has one for not playing Tonges more when Kittle is healthy. Him not being a great blocker is one of them. Luke Farrell gets more snaps when Kittle is active.

Whether you like it or not Juszcszyk provides schematic advantages that Kyle uses to help the offense. Tonges doesn't.

Yet two guys…Mike McDonald and Ben Johnson (both candidates that were brought up repeatedly when Kyle's fan club asked "well, who would you replace him with?") have their teams primed for a deep run.

Oh, and there's this guy that everyone laughed at…

https://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/nfl/196292-two-wordshellipsean-payton/

Three potential quality candidates that could have replaced Shanahan and had this team primed for a SB run, but no….you guys like to pretend there are no good coaches around except for Shanahan

Ben Johnson? You mean the guy we just beat and lost yesterday? You mean Ben Johnson who had the biggest meltdown in Lions playoff history? So god damn hypocritical

Last I checked McDonald and Ben haven't done more than Kyle. Both dudes could be one and done in the playoffs just as easy and you know it….only difference is you will have all kinds of excuses for them. They don't win the SB then what?? They suck according to your logic.

Let's use some more of your logic. Payton is being propped up with a #1 defense not his 15th ranked offense that is suppose to be all him.

McDonald's offense only got what 13 pts vs SFs JV defense? Wow really primed up lol. Good job Seattle you guys are mostly healthy right now why we're forced to toss out our backups to the backups.

Isn't that funny ? You and genus waste thousands of words explaining to us that it wasn't Kyle's fault, but the players fault for not executing at the end of the game that cost us the SB. But it was Ben Johnson's fault for the Lions meltdown.

You guys waste thousands of words explaining to us how we can't blame Kyle for the Atlanta loss bc he was only the OC. But then you turn around and blame Ben Johnson for the "meltdown".

talk about hypocritical

No it should be obvious to anyone watching the games tonges has talent above a third string tight end. The dudes making toe tapping touchdown catches and finds the hole every time he's on the field.

It's lack of creativity from shanahan that's the problem. Which is basically what you're alluding to.

The thing that's amazing is there's already rumors that the bills might fire mcdermott if they don't win the SB this year.

Him and shanahan have very similar results yet you hear opposite stories. Both fail to win SB and have some level of success in the "other games"

Shanahan is a great play designer. He's lucky to have Brock purdy who is undoubtedly a great QB.

He has big weaknesses though. The dudes terrible at planning for specific players, his own or opponents, clock management is bad. Even creativity beyond his basic play sheet sucks.

That's why we never saw Mason and mcaffrey on the field at the same time. Won't see tonges with kittle etc...

Dude gets lost in the trees and misses the forest all over the place.

Every year he falls farther behind new and upcoming peers.

He's done enough this year that it won't even be considered for a couple more years entertaining bringing in someone new.
