Then their argument is not serious and never was.

I completely agree with this too. Cant believe it lasted as long as it did If I'm being honest

I still remember when the Chargers eliminated the Chiefs a few weeks ago and these SAME people—I kid you not—were saying "I wish Harbaugh was still our coach!! Jed is such a loser firing someone for winning too much!! Wish he was still our coach instead of LOSER Kyle! "

These people literally don't even make sense. Btw which coach still has a game to prepare for? The one who doesn't hasn't won an NFL playoff game in 13 years btw. Literally got destroyed Sunday night and also last season both times in the wild card round with a supposed elite top 5 QB.

Like I said, it's emotional troll behavior an unserious football debate.

the deflection is it's "my opinion" like it gives you carte blanche or some shield to say whatever the f**k you want without repercussions.

The Harbs homers are so contradictory and I don't believe they're that ignorant.

I don't think anybody questions Kyle's scheming, you just have to separate it from his coaching. Still some things that need to be cleaned up, and it's on Kyle if we don't get it figured out imo. 2 min offense still clunky after all these years. The operation is sloppy for some reason and we're rushed at the line too often. Bourne doesn't help, but Kyle is the one that brought him in and has him out there because he's a vet. The guy wasn't even set on the game winner. These are the kind of details Kyle always eventually trips over

He's one of the best coaches in the league. Again folks say this or that regarding his "missteps" yet don't apply that to every other HC in the league.

I don't really ever see a HC call a clean game with perfect operations down to down for 4QRS…..whether ya'll like it or not, the HC is pretty dependent of his players. You think Bourne not lining up properly is a coach thing? Guy has been playing football for most of his life. Players are allowed to be held accountable. Folks in here have been going off on Kyle for years about any sort of penalty, like it's just a coaching thing….one of the least penalized teams in the league, with one of the most movement roster wise. Not a peep about that his yr

I agree he's one of the best. He's just constantly tripping over anything that goes beyond him scheming his offense. Even kicking that extra point that pinero missed was the wrong decision. Should've tried to go up by 6 so that Elliot would have to make the extra point in the wind to win it. Going up by 5 wouldn't have done anything

I've never asked for his firing, I just beg for him to be more of HC than a OC, but it still hasn't happened and we're 10 years in. I'm not saying we can't win with all scheme and a refusal to focus on details like situational strategy, but the lack of coaching seems like a hurdle that will always be there with Kyle, and that's frustrating when we're supposed to have the premier coaching genius according to the media

I kind of thought the same thing in real time. Actually before we even scored i played out that scenario and thought 2 were the better option for the reason you suggested.

BP and Kyle Shanahan

We can actually focus on the situation and strategy because we're not busy being offensive coordinators

Also our defense

TOUCHDOWN NINERS!

I don't think Purdy trust Bourne at all this game, theres another view of this play and he has both cmc and Bourne open and chose to go cmc. Can you blame him though since Bourne can't even get set correctly on a few plays.

Pros and cons to every decision, but if we miss the 2 PT and then PHI scores a touchdown and makes the kick, we are down by 3 and playing for overtime instead of a game winning kick (assuming there is time left).

I think the possibility of a game winning kick is what drove the decision to not go for two, but who knows.

Cherish the win fellas, we don't know what will happen this coming Saturday. So lets enjoy the victory for now and lets go 49ers!

It feels like the perfect time to get Robinson more Involved In the offense and hopefully wear down that Seahawks defense.

It's gonna be tough to beat a team like the Seahawks on the road with that defense if we don't take care of the ball first and foremost.

They only have a few seconds to make a decision and call a play. They're often looking 2 or 3 plays ahead. I've heard Kyle say many times that he didn't see something happen on the field. Why? Because he's busy talking to somene in the booth upstairs or thinking about the next play. They don't want to waste timeouts to think about it so they make a call and live with it. The fans can go back and second guess.

I enjoy playoff victories until like the Friday after. It's a rule of mine lol. Regular season wins you can celebrate until Tuesday evening. Playoff wins you get until Friday

the play is designed for CMC. Bourne and Tounges are being used to create that space for CMC and D-Rob sits down in that area so his defender doesnt get in CMC way

If you don't think he's an actual good HEAD COACH then you haven't been paying attention. We got players who say he's the best HC they've ever been around.

offensive coordinators do not lead this type of roster to 12 wins and beat the defending SB champs in Philly.

You nitpick stuff like extra pts yet have no problem defending Brock and his INTs. Why? Because they both end up doing what is needed to win
