Chief backers. Shanahan was an idiot to take the ball first jn OT. NOONE does that in traditional OT, and in essence, that's what this was. KC got a ton of pressure on Purdy all game and Mahomes had time, he is a killer!
Congrats to
- Thread starter ezpickin
- Start date
No he was not, his defense was gassed and he wanted them to have a break. Can't fault him for that, maybe it was the wrong decision but one could see both sides of the argument on the coin toss.
Bottom line it was NOT an idiot decision.
meh. of all his terrible decisions, that is lower on the list. that moron cost them the game when he opened the 2nd half with passes on 8 of 9 plays.
for some stupid reason, i thought maybe, just MAYBE, shanahan had learned his lesson after blowing 4th quarter leads in 3 big games. and all for the exact same reason... he abandoned the run. turns out, the only lesson he learned... ABANDON THE RUN BEFORE YOU GET TO THE 4TH QUARTER!!

No it wasn't.
It was a decision that meant pretty much nothing, one can easily see both sides of why to take the ball or not take the ball in that situation. It wasn't an idiotic decision at all.
You could blast him for some other coaching decisions during that game, but not that one.
Not one holding call in 5 quarters. 😂
Mahomes wasn’t losing in overtime no matter who took the ball unless there was a fumble or freak interception.
Why in the world would you take the ball first.... so Mahomes knows what he needs to do and give him 4 downs to do it.....
No No, never never!!!
No No, never never!!!
Yea. But keep the rules the same. In this case the result would have been the same. But weird they would make new rules for the sb. I agree with jt. If it was tied after the first ot Just have another 10 minute period.
OT for the SB is just like a brand new game starting. If it's tied at the end of the "1st qtr", the game continues into the "2nd qtr".
NCAA has a better format than NFL.
Agree with YYZ
Its just a dumb format as is
Lost in America you said for starters.... what else?

It wasn't a "new rule for the SuperBowl", it was for the entire playoffs.
And the "new rule" has been around for 2 years (adopted in 2022). So I don't even think you can call it "new".
I prefer the format that requires the coach to make simple strategic decisions that will allow the best team to win (things previously mentioned by others). Unfortunately, Shanahan did not follow that format.
Now here is the real issue.......many San Fran players didn't even know the rule, and it has been around for TWO YEARS......
Bad coaching, and fucking moron athletes......typical NFL stuff right here. I mean how in the love of fuck can you get paid zillions of dollars and you don't even know the fucking rules of the game you are playing.
Read this and see what team was ready and what team was not.....
Super Bowl: Several 49ers players admitted they didn't know new rules when OT started

Several Niners players had no idea both teams get a possession in playoff overtime.
