Or if he had go-to plays to seal it like Andy. It hurts seeing how easy Andy schemed up that game winning td

Stop this nonsense. Shanahan dialed up a play that had 2 guys wide open for TDs. Issue was he didn't have a DC like Spags to stop a mid level offense from marching down the field and scoring a TD.

I can't get over how stupid the "Shanahan didn't prepare for SB OT" narrative is. He literally did exactly what he needed to do but other people failed him and the rest of the squad.

And enough with the "go to plays" baloney. Where were all these magic plays his first 18 years in the league?

The overtime issue is so overblown. It's flak to cover up the fact that the D didn't do their job. If they had then people would say Kyle did the right thing.

Oh I know. Why it bugs me so much. Just lazy simply cuz Mahomes and the Chiefs said they wanted the ball 2nd. Well that's great they had a dominant defense with one of the greatest defensive minds in the game and weren't clearly struggling in that 4th quarter.

Rules weren't somehow changed. It's still football. Go score a TD and then have your D do their job and get a stop. I don't care if Juice didn't know the game would continue. In the end Burford didn't do his job and blew our opportunity to defend a TD lead. Who knows maybe even Wilks wouldn't be able to blow that situation.

Which is why the correct criticism of Shanny is of him and Lynch continually ignoring the secondary to the teams detriment in the big game losses. Instead it goes to play calling or O line when both of those things were much smaller issues.

So you would take Donovan McNabb over Brock Purdy?

Its like you are trying to punish Reid for trading up and drafting Mahomes after saying that it was completely justified for Kyle to pass on Mahomes and take Solomon Thomas because this is what the media said to do.

Not to mention those first 18 years for Reid had 5 NFCCG appearances and a super bowl appearance on his resume and your take is "where was the success" while anointing Kyle for super bowl appearances and championship game appearances with no rings to show for it.

Once again, what exactly is your argument?

I just wish Kyle would have viewed Mahomes they way he viewed Trey Lance & Beathard. We may be talking about a completely different history right now.

Or if Bill Walsh viewed Tom Brady like he did Gio Carmazzi

Hes using your guys argument that Shanny is a failure by asking where was Reid's success.

That is entirely different, Brady did nothing in college that made anyone think he would be worthy of a high 1st round draft pick.

In fact, a lot of teams may be saying the same thing about Purdy right now.

Not to mention Walsh got it right with Montana in the 3rd and traded for Steve Young so his QB evaluation genius is secured.

Most draft sites had Mahomes as a high 2nd. Kiper railed on the Chiefs for reaching for Mahomes.

If Kyle is a failure for his resume then Reid was also. Why didn't his magic plays work before?

Also (other contributions)...

CMC's fumble in the beginning says hello, Barford is (thankfully) no longer with us and (hopefully) Luter will soon be gone

So your saying Reid "used" to be a failure?

I can see that.

If Levy had been younger he may have won a SB eventually, Reid style.

Truth. He may have been robbed at least in one of those. Shanny / Niners may have been robbed twice

He didn't dial that up. Aiyuks defender fell and Jennings beat his man. What Andy did was dial it up. Kelce laughing and watching Hardman score on the Jumbotron during the play. That's dialing it up

Shanahan had no plan for OT. The players seemed confused that there could even be OT

Maybe Andy didn't have them in his first 18 years, but he has them now, and he outcoached Kyle with them

Why is Reid no longer a failure?

People who understood the situation knew it was the wrong decision the moment it was made. The defense doing its job would have bailed Kyle out, but it wouldn't have made it the right decision
