Just heard a clip of Shanahan saying they took possession because their strategy was predicated on having the 3rd possession

Simply breathtaking

is this why the niners kicked a fg in OT, in order to slowplay the Chiefs into also going for a FG

If the other teams get the ball second and needs a TD, anyone with a brain knows they will go for 2 and make a 3rd possession moot

It's called Legend Bowl.

If you wanna go down to 8-bit there's Retro Bowl.

I don’t think it’s at all a given that every team in the league goes for two in that situation. Plenty of conservative coaches (like Shanahan) would take the PAT and keep playing.

Converting a 2 seems a lot easier than successfully playing defense and driving down the field again

Okay, but a lot of coaches already don’t go for 2 when it’s the optimal strategy, or don’t go for it on 4th when it’s the optimal strategy and I guarantee plenty of coaches will also not go for 2 and risk losing it all on a single play vs continuing the game.

Just give us CFB-style OTs, where it starts at the opponent’s 25 yard line, defense is somewhat optional, and we keep seeing scores.

Coaches go for it on 4th more than they used to but still much less than they would if they were making decisions entirely based on the expected outcomes. And it varies pretty significantly with some coaches being much more aggressive than others.

Maybe this will change as older coaches are replaced with younger ones but right now there are still a number who would likely take the PAT and trust their defense to get a stop.

-it keeps getting reiterated that last year and this year were supposed to be rebuilding years, so like they'll be better next year because of experience? mahomes chiefs will be the first nfl team to win three straight super bowls

-the result reminds me most of the 2022 golden state title

Be still and know.
How much contingency planning goes into a game plan? I'd guess the Niners expected a heavy box, but do you have contingencies for your O-line getting pushed around like that? Purdy also said that KC played more man than expected.

Is it surprising that there weren't more rollouts, screens etc? Seems odd that Kittle only got 3 targets; maybe if he had screamed at Shanahan he could have gotten the ball more lol.

I keep thinking about the alternate world where Kelce still yells at Andy Reid (and he was right), but doesn't catch all those second half passes and KC loses.

Shutting down Kittle and a hobbled in multiple ways Deebo was super important from the Chiefs perspective. The 49ers screen game did have some success but you can only pull that out of the bag so often before the defense realizes what you're doing (well if the D is any good, and the Chiefs D was pretty good this year).

So your offense turns into solely CMC, Aiyuk, and oddly missed MVP opportunity Jauan Jennings. That makes things a lot easier to deal with for the defense. The 49ers have so many weapons and with two of them pretty much taken out of the game that puts Purdy under a lot more pressure while he was enduring a lot of pressure. Bless fullbacks but Juszczyk can only scare you so much.

I can't speak to what they could have done to overcome this, maybe rolling the pocket more often would have helped. Or maybe it just gets Purdy lit up if you do it at the wrong time, the Chiefs do a lot of corner blitzes normally although I don't think they did a ton last night. I don't know, it was just a rough night for that offense.
