Yes that was a huge play, but I think there were 2 other plays that were more pivotal. The fumbled punt return in the 3rd quarter and, in my opinion, the most pivotal play was Kyle not deferring in overtime and taking the ball second after we had won a crucial coin toss.
Players on the team are just in denial why we lost that Super Bowl... they don't have it in them to bring up Kyle's decisions that game, and previous loses before it. So they put that attention to somewhere else.
Christian McCaffrey has been our best/most impactful player on the team since he got here. He has saved Kyle's ass by taking Jimmy G's dump offs and gaining just enough yards to move the sticks in that 2022 season, to have more opportunities more on offense.
Besides that one fumble, we had many other chances in that Super Bowl. Our defense held the effin Chiefs to like 3 pts in the first half. 13pts in the first 3 qtrs.

You mean going to Deebo, who's covered one on one by the best DB that season, wasn't a good idea???
Like regular routes for Deebo coming off the line (instead of hiding off the line) vs the best coverage DB that year wasn't a good idea??? Na Kyle is smarter than that... something else must've happened. OH YEAH CMC fumbled. Totally changed the game. 😐

It was an early momentum killer that in all likelihood took points off the board. We all know how great CMC is, and Aiyuk shouldn't be taking any shots from his position, but that was a bad turnover.

The Chiefs played that game and made some good plays, guys. I know, controversial take to credit the winning team for simply making a few more plays rather than criticize the losing team for not quite making enough plays.

On par with squandering an INT to start the 3rd quarter by abandoning the run.
On par with abandoning the run vs KC with 7 minutes left in the game and giving up 21 points in a crushing loss in 2019.
people like to blame everyone and everything including God but Kyle is untouchable…

you say abandon the run but we didn't. The runs put us in 3rd and longs.. are you saying to still run on 3rd and longs?

Kittle has said today what many of us have:
"If you get offended by something, you hold on to it, that's kind of on you, because everybody goes through contract negotiations and they're all difficult," Kittle concluded.
