Shanahan put too much on Jimmy G in the fourth quarter. Should've ran more on that final drive when they had all their timeouts, or at least called some easier passing plays like a drag or a bubble screen. Can't expect to win when you get to 4th and 10.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Yup, hasnt Spags got 3 super bowls now? 2 with the Giants?

I know his D looked bad here, but the entire team was a mess that year.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Guess that's why I can't in good conscious pull for SF, those were brutal years for Who Dats.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Honey Badger gets a ring!

Good for him.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

I said that very thing when that play happened. Against us, it was a good "non-call", but tonight "it was the right call".

Saintfan was very angry right then, but it was tempered since the call went against the whiners...

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Mahomes shouldn't have been the MVP... he didn't play well at all.

Really happy for Reid, he deserved this. Pretty good SB imho. The Chiefs really are the comeback-kings.

I am really happy Richard Sherman lost.

It would not surprise me if Kareem Hunt is kicking himself right now.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

I guess we're different then. When I'm watching a game the player names don't matter to me, I really don't pay attention to any analysis, and talking points are nothing more than background noise. I am simply watching and enjoying the game for what it is. I honestly have no recollection of the announcers from the game yesterday. Honestly. None. I remember watching the whole game and enjoying it, though.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

My thinking is well.

It's not how you start but how you finish. Those 4th quarter drives with everything at stake, improvising, critical throws defines you being a good player vs elite. 3rd and 15, Niners D all over him yet he rolls out and extends the ball beyond the marker to keep the chains moving. Clutch.

PM is a young, elite talent.

No lead is safe against the Chiefs with him under center.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Hope all is well JP.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

The Reid/Beinemy/Pat Mahommes show comes to the Dome in 2020.

That should be fun.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Hmmmmm, that is one game I wish the Saints would not have.
Yes, should be fun.....either way.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Who played better? Especially down the stretch.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Damien Williams

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Solid choice as well.

How fitting many "analysts" always labeled Andy Reid as the coach who would abandon the run in the biggest game on the planet ...

Yet he stuck to the run.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Shanahan didn't learn a thing from blowing the lead against the Pat's!!

After Mostert picked up five yards on a first-down carry, Shanahan called for two straight pass plays -- resulting in two incompletions from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. It was the 49ers' first three-and-out of the game.

When asked if he wished they had run the ball more on that possession, Shanahan stood by his decision.

"No not at all," he said. "The last thing you're thinking about when you're up three points and there is that much time left, the clock is not an issue at that time, especially with the timeouts. The issue was moving the chains. If you move the chains, then you will wind the clock."

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed just three of his last 11 attempts and was intercepted once; another pass play ended in a sack. In those two Super Bowls, Shanahan's offenses have now been outscored 46-0 in the fourth quarter and overtime.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

They only ran the ball eight times after they went down 20-10 and four of those were Mahomes scrambles. They went extremely pass heavy once they got down. That's also not counting the three Mahomes kneel downs on the final possession which go in the books as rushing attempts.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Tyreek Hill. Great route on the 44 yard catch. And on the play before that he would have caught the first down to move the chains, just couldn't quite keep it from touching the ground but gave a good effort. I'm not a Tyreek fan and kept waiting for the predictable Tyreek fumble or bonehead play, never really happened. He really stepped up.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

I haven't seen a QB with Pat's ability at his age (24) in quite a while.

Niners didn't play bad defensively. It's just that Pat made plays, avoided sacks, made 4/5 yard completions to adjust arm angles, keeping drives alive. This was with Nick Bosa breathing down his neck all game .. in the Super Bowl. That's big time, prime time. Andy Reid/Eric B wore the Niners defense out late. Kelsey/Hill/Watkins and #15 pulling the trigger ... very difficult to defend.

I can count QB's on one hand who has that type of escapability. The scary part is that this is only Pat's 2nd full season as a starter.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

It isn't the number of rushing attempts but the yards gained per attempt.

A team can rush the ball 35 times and gain 70 yards or 3 times and gain 150

Mahomes had 44 yards entering Kansas City's final possession. With the Chiefs leading 31-20 and 57 seconds remaining, Mahomes kneeled on three straight plays, losing 15 yards. He finished with 29 yards rushing.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Yeah, like was mentioned already, Damien Williams put that game away in the 4th quarter.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

MVP three letters.

The Unanimous League MVP watching the game just like the rest of us.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Screw the 49ers, the Chiefs, and the league.... Quite a few plays were called/not called inconstantly with the way they have been calls against us. Our fault for leaving games in the hands of the refs.

Bosa should have the MVP. Sherman not getting a ring was worth the money spent on alcohol needed to watch the game.

I have not seen the Saints play as hungry as either of those teams in years. Both teams played like they were trying to make the Refs blow the play dead, we have played like we were waiting on the whistle for a few years now.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

We have multiple players that are more comfortable in front of cameras now that ever. I’m not saying it’s a concern but.

This is a very good thing. Many of those players come from families with NFL backgrounds. They need to be the vocal leaders. Cam Jordan's father was great player, as was Michael Thomas' uncle. They also learned the vocal leadership from players like Mark Ingram who also had a very successful NFL father.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

Not what I were inferring to . That’s great to be vocal leaders in the community and bolster there charities But to fly across the country to be on a talking heads show so they can pick there brains on Payton and Brees after not showing up in a playoff game humm

Don't forget that this is a business to them. It's their job to make as many appearances as they can. While they can be emotionally attached it is in a different manner than a fan.

Re: Super Bowl Game Day Thread
 

I understand that, that’s why I covered it’s not a bad thing what there doing

Imagine a world where we took Kittle in the 2017 Draft Haul as well...

Imagine a world where we didn't pick up Drew Brees.
