And to think, so many people had written the Chiefs off this year. So many people kept saying this was Buffalo or Baltimore's year. Heck, even the 49ers were the favorites in the SB. At some point, people have to acknowledge, no one in the NFL, come the post season, should be favored over the Chiefs until we actually see them not make an AFC title game. Chiefs are a dynasty now, its time to stop clowning around and thinking Allen and the Bills, or Jackson and the Ravens, or even Burrow and the Bengals are on the Chiefs level. 49ers played a great game, and really gave it their all, but the Chiefs run the NFL right now.

[@DeplorableJaredBrodersen]

I have to agree with you. Even I counted the Chiefs out after their huge loss to the Raiders in the regular season. I was wrong and thought they'd easily lose to the Dolphins in the wild card. I'll never count them out in the post season again as long as Magic Mahomes is there. Wow. What a team. I'm starting to think nobody can defeat the Chiefs in the post season or Superbowl now.

Then the 3rd quarter they held 49ers scoreless and scored 10 themselves. Then the fourth quarter they drove down field and scored.

SF's defense didn't dominate when it counted the most: on the last possession of the game. When someone is playing against a QB as great as Patrick, they have to make him work for his TDs during the _entirety_ of the game if they want to win.

Let's get this out of the way first: the Chiefs won OT because they out-executed SF. On D, they forced SF to decide to go for 4th down or kick a FG, whereas on O they scored on first and goal. But if SF could've matched KC and somehow forced KC to kick a FG, now they have all the advantage of winning with the next score.

Run the ball!!!! Not late but the whole game. Runnn

[@edharris6452]

I disagree with Greeny. Now if this was college football, then yes you always take defense if you can, but this is NOT college overtime rules. Here are some differences: 1) You get the ball at the opponents 25, but at the opposite end of the field in the NFL 2) In college, you have to go for 2 points after scoring a TD in the second overtime and only 2 point conversions are attempted in the third overtime. 3) In the NFL, whoever has the ball third wins with any score. Armed with the above info, here are the possible outcomes in NFL OT: A) First team scores a TD, second team scores a TD, and first team wins with a FG B) First team scores a FG, second team scores a FG and first team wins on a FG C) First team scores a TD and second team wins with a TD and 2 point conversion. D) First team scores a FG and second team scores a TD (I’m leaving out the obvious outcome of the first team scoring no points) So, if you look at the math, the win opportunity in the NFL is about even. That means other info must be considered to finalize your decision, and in the Niner’s case Kyles said that THE DEFENSE WAS GASSED and would have an entire field to defend. Also when the defense was better rested, they were able to stop KC from scoring TDs. So, since you know that Mahomes is going to get the ball regardless and of course you want to stop him, why give him a weakened Defense to work against? I know everyone is saying that you give PM an extra down, but the Niner’s still had their chance to stop them at 4th and 1. That was the game and they didn’t do it. So no, I don’t think that the decision not to kick in OT cost the Niners the game. They had a 3rd and 4 that wins the game if they convert. They shied away from CMC after he fumbled while KC kept confidence in both Pacheco and Pat after their turnovers. And of course, Jones was completely unblocked which was an inexcusable error at a critical juncture in the game (KC would have been forced to win the game on a 2 point conversion…) Give Kyle a break. This was not a slam dunk goofball decision but any means. It was thought out before the playoffs, and made sense given the situation, but we have the luxury of hindsight critique.

[@clipcoug1139]

Exactly. The people who try and use the college OT rules don't realize that each team in college get the same amount of possessions. However in the NFL, if it's still tied after each team has a possession, it's sudden death. There is no sudden death in college.

the reason they didn't run the ball in the third quarter was because of penalties and blown-up plays resulting in negative yardage forcing them to have to pass the ball. Overall they did run the ball a lot at 28 carries. Honestly, the conservative play calling aiming for field goals in the 4th quarter was more problematic. You could tell the decision was made to play for the field goal once they were within range. But the biggest reason SF lost is just a general lack of attention to detail with the muffed punt, penalties negating big plays, and the blocked extra point.

I'm sorry this is beyond stupid what you're saying. You're telling me in OT... with CMac getting 5-6 yards a carry and even Tony Romo saying "That defense is gassed I'd run it" multiple times that drive.. that throwing the ball on 3rd and 4 in the red zone was the smart decision and taking a FG when we KNOW Mahomes scores TDs in OT almost as much as Tom did? You don't know ball...

[@justino4406]

Don't know if you have seen the most recent reports but Andy Reid said their gameplan going into the game for overtime was if they won the coin toss, to opt to play defense first and get the ball second. The reason was they already decided if the 4ers scored, they would have 4 downs and also were going to go for 2 and win the game right there. This is just another case of why Andy Reid & Co. will go down as one of the best. Shanahan playing for the "Next Score Win" when Reid was never going to let it get to that point.

[@TheBlackestKnight21]

No he didn’t, no one would be saying that if both teams scored a TD then the chiefs came back and got a FG. EVERYONE at my superbowl party knew they should’ve kicked it to the chiefs first

[@crzycolchris]

@@TheBlackestKnight21 I was saying before warner even called heads.. this is where you want to defer it. There literally is NO benefit from getting the ball first in OT anymore.. score any way it doesnt matter.. the other team KNOWS what it has to do and has 4 tried to do it

[@Show_time3]

I never thought about the coin toss last night. With the new rules and both teams get the ball no matter what, you should always defer and take ball 2nd…..with old rules you take the ball first since a td wins the game ….

[@DeplorableJaredBrodersen]

Yeah, I think I like the old rules better. The new rules seem fair to the other team but it's unfair to the team that scores first.

[@Dannycuddy]

Nah the new way is way more fair. U can argue it’s flawed, but allowing both teams to possess the ball is so much better than a coin flip.

Kyle Shanahan has now lost 3 Super Bowls as an NFL Coach. (2017) with Atlanta Falcons as (Offensive Coordinator) when Falcons had a 20+ lead and blew the game and Patriots won the Super Bowl, then 2020 & 2024 as (Head Coach) with 49ers Vs Chiefs. 49ers need one more Super Bowl loss to tie the Buffalo Bills for 4 losses in a decade. Bills lost 4 straight in the 1990's. Niners lost in (2014,2020 and now 2024) their next loss would be #4. The NFL is heading toward Teams having QB's that (can throw and run the ball deep). Season MVP Lamar Jackson (can run and throw the ball deep), Super Bowl Champion Patrick Mahomes (can run and throw the ball deep). The Ironic thing is that the 49ers once had a QB that can run and throw the Ball deep in (Colin Kaepernick). Should've stuck with him and kept Jim Harbaugh as Head Coach. Been almost a decade and Kaepernick was the last mobile QB that the Niners have had. Putting his politics aside, Kaepernick was helping the 49ers win games back then and they should of kept him instead of kicking him to the curb in (2016). Or at least find a Quarterback that can run and throw the ball deep.

[@manuelsaenz4631]

I'm not even a San Francisco 49ers fan and I felt really bad for them. What a way to lose on the biggest stage... what a shame.

[@InvestBetter.]

Dan is right. If you are taking the ball first, with the mindset that the game must be tied, later, and you will win the game on the 3rd possession, then you MUST score on the 1st possession, so you MUST go for it, on 4th down. The entire "analytics" falls apart, if you don't score, and give Mahomes 4 downs to score.

[@oscarwestbrook1155]

Kyle called a great game. 4th and 4 they should of went for it and if they didn’t get it, KC would of had to drive from the 9 yard line.

[@edharp5769]

People are exaggerating how much the Chiefs "knew what they needed" when they were down 3 in OT. All they knew was that they couldn't punt, which definitely helped on the 4th down on their side of the field. But if it had gotten to 4th down on the SF side, they still would have had to choose between going for it or kicking a FG to tie, which would give the 49ers the ball back in sudden death.

[@dantheman8152]

You know whats crazy? If there wasnt so much outrage over Josh Allen not getting a chance to possess the ball in that OT game 3 years ago, the NFL would have never changed the rule. The 49ers would have beat the Chiefs last night if it was played under the old sudden death rules!

[@Talatywotty]

[@Obi1to1]

If you look at Kyles decision on not trading away Jimmy for 3 or 4 years of Tom Brady, cemented his downfall... This isn't a hard game, Niners needed 4 yards on the final drive to extend 4 more downs before kicking a field. A very good QB in Brock couldn't get it done. The 4 All Pro Offensive players couldn't get it done. Kyle Shanahan couldn't get it done! Great QBs, know what their facing, make adjustments at the line, take your scheme to the extreme level.
