GTFO out of here….at one point in time we had something like $118M on IR. Big name guys. Played half the season with the backup QB and was within one game of being the 1 seed.

acting like that's not some amazing accomplishment is about as bias as it gets.

Mcvay without Stafford for a long time period went 5-12. Andy couldn't score more than 12pts this yr with Mahomes gone. Most GOOD HCs can't win meaningful games, let alone take a team to 12+ wins having to play their backup QB for half the yr…let alone the constant injures that SF dealt with.

Kyle will never win COTY because his expectations are higher than anyone else at this pt. It's much like how the Kyle's hater club treat him…everyone knows he's a badass HC so he's "suppose" to win a f**k ton of games, regardless of what the roster looks like.

I didn't think they pulled anything incredible off. I picked them to win 99% of those games so it couldn't have been that unbelievable. Sorry just being real

you picked them to win 99% of the games with all our injuries which pretty much made us the less talented team on every game in the last 8-10 games of the season shows you how good of a coach he is then

Our SOS was identical to Seattle's…anyone saying we had an easy schedule it full of s**t.

The league sucked so bad nobody had a hard schedule. Ours wasn't either. We got garbage road game Bryce. The Colts when they sucked. Seahawks week 1 when even the Raiders beat the Pats. I remember most of espn picking us to win the Texans game. It looks crazier on paper than it actually was

And? That was the league this past season…everyone dealt with the same s**t. We all talked about having the easiest schedule before the season started, didn't end up like that. Played in the best division that had the first 3 team 12 win division.

You want to talk about easy go look at what the COTY got for a schedule and who he played at QB. Easiest road to a Super Bowl ever. Bro didn't deal with the amount of injuries that Kyle did either.

7th easiest schedule in the Super Bowl era

Andy couldn't even beat the f**king Raiders without Mahomes. The Rams lost to Bryce.

bro didn't pick that, he's always been in here saying they're gonna lose this week blah blah blah.

he's a Kyle hater and trying to push a stupid narrative….it's ridiculous and troll behavior.

no one said it was hard all we said it wasnt some easy cakewalk schedule we all thought it would be at the beginning of the year. I just think its absoutly stupid to not pretend KS did a great job this year with all the injuries most players lose 1 key player and they pack it in we lost Brock for some of the year, Pearsall for most of the year, our first rounder, Bosa, Warner , pretty much all our LB to start the year and we somehow were in contention for the #1 seed

i feel like its pointless to debate this with people who are not going to pretend this wasnt a great coaching job i feel like people are just trying to validate their own opinion rather than admit they're wrong

You're just going off stats. It looks more impressive when you do that without any analysis. It was a cakewalk schedule imo, especially catching some of those teams that hiked up our sos up when we did. The media loves Kyle and even they decided there were quite a few better coaching jobs this year

It was an easy schedule lol. Just because everyone else had one doesn't mean we didn't have one either

No I just knew we had the better qb in those games and believed in Saleh

Drake Maye and Sam Darnold are in the Super Bowl. There hasn't been a great team this year, so it's hard to have a hard schedule. A bunch of meh playing a bunch of meh. The sos isn't impressive

I mean this is a bit ridiculous at this point our offense is the one that carried our games (no fault to Saleh here) through the back half with all our injuries and you cant really praise our offense without giving huge credit to Purdy and KS

i feel like you are just arguing to argue at this point

Glad Kyle did not get it. He in no way deserved it. We won with all those injuries not because of his coaching but because we played a weak, 4th place schedule. His game planning for both Seattle games was atrocius!

I had a feeling the voters wouldn't be as impressed when they looked at the details. Like I've said I picked all our wins except the Rams win. Our record wasn't as shocking as it seemed when you really look into it

If the team was healthy? Sure.

I can guarantee if before the season you saw the schedule and you were told - pick the W/Ls but just so you know the following:

Bosa will miss every game after week 3
Warner will miss every game after week 6
Mykel Williams will miss every game after week 9
Purdy will miss 8 games and play every game after week 1 with turf toe
Kittle will miss 6 games
Pearsall will miss 8 games
Jennings will miss 2 games
Aiyuk will never play for us again

How would you have picked the games then? You all love to point to the schedule strength like Rams and Seahawks didn't play virtually the same schedule.

The different games

Seattle: Steelers(10-7), Vikings(9-8), Commanders(5-12) - total record of 24-27
Rams: Ravens(8-9), Lions(9-8), Eagles(11-6) - total record of 28-23
49ers: Browns(5-12), Bears(11-6), Giants(4-13) - total record 20-31

So yes the 49ers different opponents had a worse record overall but they also played the best team in the NFC North division, while also beating the best record team the Rams/Seahawks played in their group and did it in the playoffs.

Seattle also got the Vikings and Commanders missing a bunch of key players. Rams played the Ravens missing a bunch of guys...including that Lamar Jackson fella.

They had the 7th easiest schedule in Super Bowl area! They played absolutely no one and like one meaningful QB in Allen. COTY apparently.

Dude if everyone had an "easy" schedule then it negates the whole damn argument so let's look at other factors like having one of the most injured rosters in the league on top of it.

exactly i think most would pick 5-6 wins me included and im an optimist i honestly saw this whole season as a cherry i did not expect us to win so much and i did not expect us to win a playoff game we were playing with our PS players and we (understandably so) did not prepare for Aiyuk to go a bit crazy making another WR/weapons a need

Thats because we had Brock in the back half to carry when Saleh couldn't anymore. It was a good year, not saying otherwise. Just not as impressed as you guys are by Kyle in this situation. Neither were the unbiased voters
