How's KS looking now? Would love to hear your thoughts on the current state of the niners. Is Kyle's ceiling still that of Norv Turner? You had all the answers 4 games in, what about now with a whole season played.
Must have got a s**t load of "prevent defense" type coverage when he got a good QB. Also, what about those quarterly yardage breakdowns? I bet you have a seasons worth now.
He's going after Ahkello Witherspoon now.
Meanwhile Kyle be like...

I've been hearing McVay and others have used the same play this year, don't know if it's true or not

It's only fair, since McVay pretty much uses Kyle's entire offense. Seriously though, Kyle mentioned that he used it last year in Atlanta and others have used it including the Rams.

To follow up what I wrote a couple of weeks back, as one of those people (aka "haters") who wanted to see results before crowning Shanahan's behind, and who was not happy with "moral victories", I am very happy to come here and say that I am much more pleased with the professional picture that the team presents, and the actual (rather than moral) victories it's winning. I am not giving all the credit to Jimmy Gruffalo (as my 3-year niece is calling him), though a lot is due to him, as I am perfectly happy to say that the coach is finally showing some of the skills he was meant to have. I will go even further and say that his obviously holding the locker room together even after an 0-9 start is evidence of his managerial skills. No ifs, no buts. Being a knee-jerk pessimist by nature, I am trying to exorcise the memories of the 8-8 2009 season and what followed it the next year, or the 7-9 2006 one and what followed that. Late season surges can often be fool's gold. On the more positive side, the team didn't just win the last 5 games, but they were increasingly dominant, albeit against an overrated JAX team and the 2nd string of the Rams. Still, it was nice to see us dominating again.
So, Shanahan has build up lots of credit with me in the last 7 weeks. But I expect him to build up on that next season. I don't do "faith", I want to see results. And so should all good fans. I'm sure dierhard Browns fans have "faith" too - but that's scant comfort at 0-16. Victories is what counts. Real ones. The moral version is for losers.

I do like his constants dig at Kyle though. I like his latest where Saleh is actually the best coach we have and everything on offense is all Jimmy G. You know, the same Jimmy G that Kyle's offense was gonna get killed. The dude is a f**king joke of a writer and it's embarassing that the s**t he writes is connected to the niners.
He's not only lacks rudimentary football knowledge, but his writing is amateur at best
He's a clown and if it's true a certain poster on this forum was him (I'm not gonna name, but some know who it is, and it lived in this thread)I'm not shocked by the b******t it continuously said and the digs it would always say about Kyle.
He is a poster who has two other usernames and only uses Follower when things are going badly, to irritate other posters. Thats my definition of trolling. Follower's last post came after the team's last defeat.

Kyle said in the post game presser that he used it last year in ATL.
