Kyle Shanahan's biggest mistake in SB LVIII, more talented QB than Patrick Mahomes? | NFL | THE HERD

James Jones joins the show to share his reaction to Super Bowl LVIII with Colin Cowherd. The two discuss Patrick Mahomes, and the 49ers collapse in the 2nd half of the game, plus why it was a mistake for Kyle Shanahan to keep the ball in Overtime instead of deferring to the Kansas City Chiefs, and allowing Mahomes a shot to win the game. And while Mahomes is getting all these well deserved accolades, Jones maintains that there's one quarterback he believes is more talented than the KC QB, even after three Super Bowl rings. Finally, the two praise Andy Reid for his mastery of the team, and lay out how his skill at the head coach position has helped Mahomes and the Chiefs achieve all they have.

James Jones, what a great analysis of the game. Well done! Bring him back often!

[@onojaefeogaga1387]

James analysis is flawed He makes it sound like if they stopped them on the fourth down Kansas city can punt. Both teams have 4 downs going for it on 4th is optional. The better argument will be shanahan should have gone for it on 4th and 4 rather than kicking the field goal. Because if they are stopped it becomes risky for Kansas city to go for it on the 4th because that gives 49ers a short field and a touch down or field goal wins the game.

[@IG.Lajet_]

@@onojaefeogaga1387its not flawed if Kansas City get the ball 1st they probably dont go for it on 4th & 1 from they own 30 yards like they did…same reason the 49ers didnt go for it

His assessment of the Ravens defense after the Chiefs won was amazing!!! He said, "As soon as that game started, I said, this Baltimore team isn't ready for Patti!!!" BUT they talked how Pat is the most clutch QB!!! His take b4 that game & he chose the Chiefs & said, "I ain't going against Patrick Mahomes no more!!!" Their discussion was how?!?! By the end, J.J. just said, "B/c one five is trotting out there, & that's why we're picking them!!!" He knew some of other stats of Patrick I hadn't heard before!!! And he said, "It's CRAZY!!! I can't go against that!!!" But this conversation did make think more of Brock Purdy. Though I do think he played amazingly well, his take on how an exceptional QB elevated his stats & the same with the Chiefs' players made me wonder, though they came close to winning, my question is can they can win the SB with Brock Purdy?!?! I don't know?!?! But I feel the same with Shanahan. Can they win the SB with Kyle Shanahan?!?! Their defense played better their offense, & the defense coach was fired!!! It just feels like Wilks got thrown under the bus!!!

A lot of Niner apologists crying about the Chiefs getting a lucky bounce on the muffed punt, while conveniently forgetting their luck in the NFC Championship with the deflection catch that set up the Niners rally.

[@caughtinthevoidfloyd5821]

What a stupid take. There is a HUGE difference between a muffed punt which led to Mahomes ONLY td in regulation and a lucky bounce. Your logic is invalid. With your logic one can easily say that lucky bounce caused the chiefs to rally. 1 lucky bounce does not give you 24 points lol. It can lead to a td but one pass does not lead to 24 points that's just stupid. Chiefs did get lucky in the SB. Muffed punt, greenlaw injury leading to Kelce being left open all game and Feliciano whichwas critical in OT. Not to mention no holding calls on the 2 most penalized players in the nfl on the chiefs o line. Luck is a part of the game and chiefs got lucky. But they still won. It's over now a new season is on the way

[@jasonbarney5587]

@@caughtinthevoidfloyd5821 Lucky or not, the Chiefs have the rings. The Niners don't because they suck at situational football. Shanahan got out-coached yet again by Reid and Spags.

After the the Chiefs won their first Super Bowl, Andy Reid was thinking about retiring. Mahommes went over to him, put his arm around him, and said, "He's not going anywhere". Pat knows what he has in Coach Reid, and he knows he's where he is because of him.

I’m a niner fan but jones is severely underrating Spags and his defense out scheming and executing kyle and the niners offense.

[@davidtogonidze4281]

Everybody knows spags is a blitz heavy coordinator especially on third downs and it seemed like Kyle did not prepare neither purdy nor the protection for that... second season in the row we had a problem of not blocking the premier defensive player in jones and hassan reddick (kittle blocking the elite edge)

[@MaxM26]

The credit goes to Spags ‘ defense. They shut down the Niners star receivers. That’s why jennings Conley and Mccloud had the best receptions…if you give credit to Reid for MVS and co to be open you have to credit shanahan for getting his second and third options open.

[@MaxM26]

And about Kyle not finding the answers in the third quarter… it took the first half for Reid to get his offense going… and it was partly on Mahomes getting off script after that… sounding smart doesn’t make you smart

[@beaulah_califa9867]

Do you read? Maybe you should listen to the conversation again? I did not hear James say anything about Spags or the Chiefs defense. He greatly admires Shanahan and limited his conversation to the lack of involvement of the 49ers Pro Bowl Players. This is a truth as Kittle & Aiyuk see it. I'm going to listen a second time to make sure that I correctly comprehended his comments. Okay, I re-watched it and still didn't hear him say anything but the Super Stars were not included in the game. I am a Chiefs fan but even I know about Kittle, Aiyuk, and Deebo.

James Jones is talking like he is the only one who has a pair of eyes. Patrick Mahomes was doing Video game buzz-worthy things in college the same can't be said for Aaron Rodgers, We have Videos of Mahomes moving around doing MAGICIAN STUFF from College to Pros. So much so that scouts had no idea how it would translate to the NFL since it was unlike anything we were witnessing, while Aaron Rodgers NEVER had that Buzz coming out of college since he didn't do anything that was SPECIAL. There is a reason why Aaron Rodgers has been to ONLY ONE Super Bowl up to this point and he has played for 18 years, and that is because he can't put a team on his back to do so. Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes play 2 different types of games since one guy possesses the type of Talent that can take his team to 6 straight AFC championships / 4 Super Bowls winning 3, and he did all that by the age of 28. Patrick Mahomes can scramble backward for 25 + yards turn and throw the ball over your head.

The overtime rule has nothing to do with how they lost that game.

It's always the same. The decision that loses the game gets labeled bad. But when it happened, I think everyone understood the idea was to give the defense a break. Now you could argue that it is a technical disadvantage, and that Mahomes is the worst player to give the last opportunity with the knowledge of what he exactly has to do to win. But that is after the fact. If they would not have taken the ball and their defense would have gotten sliced up the headcoach would also be criticized for not giving his players a breather, not understanding situational football, and being too caught up in analytics over game sense.

49ers had to take the ball in OT. Their defense was gassed at the end of regulation. 49ers Defense needed a break. If the 49ers deferred, the Chiefs would have scored a touchdown. The Chiefs Defense was on fire and would stop the 49ers.

It’s almost like Coach Reid allowed the 49ERS to punch themselves then pounced after taking all those hits..

Moore and Hardman were 2nd round picks and Toney was a first rd picks. They weren't elite but they weren't scrubs.

You dont give patrick the ball at the end of a game . He will beat you . Always let him go first

I, for one, am glad he said it. 3 and out, 3 and out, 3 and out and CMC runs the ball once in the third quarter. I remember texting one of the faithful 49ers fans, “Shannahan is doing it again.” Tragic IMO.
