Unpopular opinion, but its fun when they show the Taylor swift reaction shots.  Just seeing her raw emotions is kinda cool.

Just imagine if Ma Auto would have caught the game winner.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't know that. Even more reason that I wouldn't have kicked the FG then.

Correct…but it would have allowed their next possession to be a FG to win.

Honestly, you could argue it would have been better to kick it to start. Let them be conservative, instead of Mahomes with 4 downs every time.

[HarryDoyle]

Ironic that the game was won by the Chiefs because of a rule change brought on by a Chiefs victory over the Bills a couple years ago.

It's possible they elected to receive because their defense couldn't get off the field on the last drive of regulation.

It wasn’t any different in the end, was it? Before a field goal wasn’t enough to end the game on the opening drive…unless my memory is toast.

I think you're 100% correct

I thought about this too. I don't envy Shanahan having to make that decision. When all is said and done though, I don't want Mahomes to have the strategic advantage of knowing if he scores he wins and knowing he absolutely has 4 downs every series. That's too many chips to give a GOAT.

[Joseph Zarr]

The game isn't lost on one play. It definitely isn't. BUT, I go back to the 49ers lost this game in the first 3 quarters. They had no business not being ahead by two scores in the 4th. This was so eerily reminiscent of the Packers choke job in San Fran. Kudos to the 49ers tho for not folding and really making a serious push to win the game. 

[homer]

kinda cool the Packers beat these guys

Block PAT was enormous too.

One advantage, that requires a lot to happen, would be you would have the ball on the hypothetical 3rd possession where any score wins.  So many factors to consider and plus and minuses for which ever decision you do make.

that's what Shanny said in his post game 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Both of those defenses were completely gassed....but credit goes to Spagnuolo being aggressive at key moments in the 4th and OT to force fg attempts by having hot reads covered behind well schemed blitzes.  And Mahomes is absolutely that dude in the NFL right now.

The assumption is that the 49ers will be the nfc favorite again next year, but that talented roster is now a year older, more expensive, and thinner.  And while Purdy is a great fit in their system and right now is very inexpensive, the 49ers will be needing more from that position as time goes on as they won't be as dominant everywhere else on the field from a talent standpoint.

Right, so many confused online but new rules didn't matter once the 49ers kicked the field goal. Under the old rules the chiefs would have received a possession.

the one thing in their favor is that it's a super deep WR. draft class this year

He should be proposing an apology to Reid for that douche body check.

I'm a little surprised there isn't more outrage online about the douchary that took place there.

Hyped up, lots of emotion, whatever, that behavior should not be allowed without repercussion.

I know there isn't a coach on the planet that would do this in the super bowl, but he should have been immediately benched and removed from the sideline.

A total lack of respect, and for all the world to see.  Shame.

True, and it needs to be with how their system treats them alot like running backs.  Deebo is a tough SOB but he's a walking mash unit at 28....Kittle is 30...Aiyuk is about to be playing in his 5th year option season on his rookie contract and likely needs a huge extension to stick around longterm.  McCaffrey is a stud RB, but the volume of touches he's gotten is just asking for him to sustain a significant injury or just plum wear down in a big hurry, too.  On Defense, Greenlaw probably just got himself cut by rupturing his achilles running onto the field (~$3M cap hit instead of paying him $8M to sit on IR all next season), Chase Young is likely signing elsewhere because they have no cap room - and multiple guys in their front 7 now have steep cap hits for the next few seasons that are going to require significant restructuring when the time comes for the 49ers to offer Purdy any kind of contract that allows him to afford living in San Francisco without having a roommates.com profile.

This was the 49ers' year to win it - it now gets much, much harder for them to sustain their recent successes with the roster they have, even if they find a way to keep everyone around.

Yeah between that and his postgame interview, I came away from the SB with a different opinion on him than I went into it with.

I was confused at the end of the OT with the running clock, assuming if the Chiefs didn't score before the clock read zeroes that the game would've been over - not realizing it would've just cycled into a new quarter until Romo explained that as the Chiefs were scoring the TD.  The way that last play unfolded it almost seemed like the 49ers didn't know the situation either, and didn't have a good defensive call in assuming the Chiefs were going to need to take a TO.  To Reid and the Chiefs' credit, if there was confusion on San Fran's end they took advantage of it and ran a really well-designed play with a reasonably early snap...they had to run a play before the quarter clock expired, but they did snap with 5+ seconds left on the play clock.  In that particular situation, I was shocked the 49ers didn't call a TO to set up their defense.

That being said, one change I would like to see this new playoff OT rules follow is to treat the end of a quarter like an end of a game situation, too - which would give a team that can execute a long drive to drain the clock and wind up with a FG another option for winning the game outright, or forcing the opponent on their 1st possession to have some urgency getting into scoring position while also knowing they'd have 4 downs on the whole drive to do so.  That 15:00 OT period expired with just the two possessions.  If at the end of the OT period, the game was still tied for whatever reason, then the next OT quarter would be sudden death that would start with another coin toss to prevent the team that had possession at the end of the 1st OT period from just sitting with the ball on the fringe of scoring range and then kicking a FG to start the sudden death OT period.

Don’t criticize things that the Swifties care about!!! You may have to go in hiding now.  You may even get a visit by the FBI and CIA!  You may have to become a Cardinals fan now! No one would look for a Brewers fan as a Cardinals fan?  Good luck Turbo!

Their entire team is a walking embarrassment. At the end of regulation Mahomes and a WR were having a complete meltdown argument over him not throwing the ball to him. Mahomes has the same on field reactions that Rodgers got roasted for (throwing hands up etc.), but Mahomes goes to the sideline crying to top it off. 

People never want the Chiefs to win anymore because of their success, but I am surprised they aren't getting hate for the way they act. 

That being said, I hope Jordan Love turns into an insufferable personality. It seems like a requirement to be the best QB in the league.
