Saw a break down of this, Kyle's been running this play set up a few times and he knew that Vic and their defense would watch tape on it to counter it. He called it earlier in the game as well. Kyle then counters it with instead of CMC running into the flat he does a inverted texas route which completely throws the defender off for an easy touchdown in the middle. Set it up and executed it perfectly when the game mattered most. Absolute clinic against one of the best DC's in the game.

yeah, Hitner said that Kyle needed to give Fangio an unscouted look, and Kyle did just that.

It's kind of a wrinkle off mesh traffic, too.

Kind of crazy that he passed Mike Tomlin in career playoff wins yesterday despite coaching 10 fewer years. 9-4 vs. 8-11.

I think this is the breakdown Chowder is referencing and the mesh traffic is also referenced in this breakdown.

It's a pivot route with a twist, he did a head fake to sell the bench, the db bit then pivoted back inside to the void... brilliant execution on the route

Imagine being one of those fans who routinely campaigns for Shanahan's job. Talk about not having an effing clue. Dude is coaching his ass off, his staff is coaching their asses off. It starts at the top.

Every talking head across the nation is noting what a great job Shanahan has done with so little this year. "His best season ever" is the constant comment.

Yes, this was what I was referring to. Thanks for showing the video.

With his 9th playoff win on Sunday, Shanahan has now passed his dad and tied John Madden, Tony Dungy, Paul Brown, Jimmy Johnson, Vince Lombardi for most playoff wins in NFL history.

One behind Walsh and Seifert.

My one gripe, just one.
please PLEASE figure out the time management. Time outs and going into the half. Against the hawks or rams, that's just not gonna cut it. Someone's gotta figure it out.

Ain't learned it then, ain't learning it any time soon..

This will be an EZ win for us as long as we avoid offensive plays that takes a while to develop... and avoid the UMBRELLA COVERAGE on D.

Low scoring game, but we win by 20!!

How is this an easy win if Kyle has a low IQ like you claimed yesterday? Now you are saying this should be an easy win so IF we lose next week you can keep on with your nonsense you've been spewing all year about how bad Kyle is at coaching.

With the roster as it is today there is no easy wins. Every game will be a nailbiter and if it weren't for the coaching staff we'd be talking NFL draft the past 6 weeks.


EASY WIN... we have the players to win it... just like the time we got Cassanova two rings... all about the players !!

Bosa won the 1st game for us
Saleh lost the 2nd game for us

...and this time, 44 gets Player of The Game for us !!

GO NINERSSS !!!
