The Kansas City Chiefs defense and their defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo trapped Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers offense in a nightmare throughout Super Bowl 58, that they could not, and did not escape. How did the Chiefs do it? And what was so wrong with what Shanahan did? This week’s episode uses the coaches all 22 to analyze the San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan’s struggles in Super Bowl 58.

#kyleshanahan #nfl #49ers
Thanks for an awesome season everybody! We are already Broncos Country riding into draft season, I have 8ish episodes before the draft, let me know who you wanna see!
Thanks Alex! Would love to see a Jayden Daniels breakdown if possible. Rising fast
Jared Vearse VS Dallas Turner, who's better
If they actually WOULD have ran the pop pass shown at 10:00 they probably WOULD have scored considering that they won the edge with that motion
I'd love to see a video covering Jayden Daniels and some other QBs in the draft. I'd also love to see one on Rome Odunze, Luke McCaffrey, or some other WRs coming out of the draft
Great work as usual, AR! My conspiracy theory is that Shannanhan knew Aiyuk had 1 foot out of the door vs Deebo. Who they locked up long term and chose to over feature Deebo. It's no wonder that soon after the loss wispers came out that Aiyuk wants out. And I totally agree about Jones. He was the MVP.
Steve "If blitzing doesn't work, try it with a different player" Spagnuolo
9ers O line horrible. CMC couldn't even run. Purdy had like a second to throw. Good defense but horrible offensive line
_Steve Spagnuolo is now a top 3 defensive coordinator in NFL history._
he’s the only coordinator in NFL history with 4 rings. He might be the GOAT
Remember 3 weeks ago when people were talking ish that he wasn't even a top active DC? Those clowns 🤡 are really phukin' quite now.
If you're an offensive coach, he's honestly the perfect right-hand man. He's both old and has sucked in an HC position before, so there's little to no concern of anyone wanting to poach him, so you can count on him being there for a long time, shoring up the defense, mentoring, developing, etc.
Nah he’s the 🐐 just cause he stopped the 16-0 patriots when no one else could
He needs to come to detroit
Spagnoulo said after the game he made an adjustment to take away the crossing routes even though that would leave them vulnerable to the running game and tight end. Kyle Shanahan played right into his hands by abandoning the run and not targeting Kittle.
Kyle tried to outsmart spags, but he outsmarted himself. Instead of doing what you just said, he did the opposite.
@@2kolbe010yeah it really was a comedy of errors. Anyone who follows the 49ers knows that Deebo is their run after the catch guy and Aiyuk is their pure receiver. And yet when the Chiefs were playing man coverage, Kyle decided to target Deebo way more than Aiyuk. Aiyuk should have been the one targeted in the passing game and they should have gotten Deebo the ball in space whether through runs or screens. And of course there’s the decision to receive the ball to start overtime which is just baffling.
@@2kolbe010You couldn't have said it better. He did exactly what the Chiefs wanted him to do. Played right into their hands. Just stupid
I don't believe Kittle was open at any point during the game. But what difference does it make if their o-line can't give Purdy enough time to throw the ball? And with CMC averaging only a little over 3 yards per carry I'm not sure it would've made a difference feeding him a heavy dose of the ball.
Blah,blah blah!!!!! All you cornballs are smarter than the professional multimillion dollar paid coaches!!!
The Chiefs really showed their ability to make in-game adjustments and capitalize on opportunities. Shanahan needs to work on his improvisation skills for sure. 🔥
Eth is a scam. Trade for a sol meme coin. Then trade that for Luna. Thank God the refs were on our side. Every pass I was so scared they were gonna call holds on our o line. Reid knows how to grease the right hands. We would have got beat down like when we played Brady if the refs hadn't been looking out for us hard. Go chiefs . Can we make it 4 sb without our o line holding a single time? I believe we can. Esp if kelce keeps doing Pfizer ads and dating t swift. The holds on bosa were so obvious but if they don't call it , were the dynasty. Go chiefs. Imagine losing 38-3 just cause the refs wanted to ruin our back to back superbowls. I would have been so mad. I mean, mad wouldn't even describe it. Let's just say , if the refs be for us, who can be against us? Now that Brady is out of the league, The refs have no reason not to help us win.
in game adjustments like hand the refs a sack of cash. the amount of o line holding the chiefs got away with was insane.
@@kenw2225bait used to be believable.
I don’t think the in game adjustments had much to do with the win. The chiefs just made the plays they had to make to win it. They outplayed them on almost every crucial down.
@@shadylane1030The whiners turned the ball over in big situations, had consistently bad O-line play (gotta be one of Trent Williams' worst games), couldn't seperate from KC's DB's and completely bumbled nearly every in-game adjustment they made. I'm a Bears fan, I don't know what it feels like to win anything, but I still appreciate what KC did on the field. If you wanna get REALLY picky there was an illegal man down field on the first whiners touchdown, but go on about how they got screwed and deserved to win.
This goes a long way to explaining why Aiyuk was so upset after the game that he could hardly talk and his girlfriend posting that it they may be saying bye to Levi Stadium for the last time.
Hell of a game from Chris Jones. Patience is running out from the fan base. (49ers) Look Kyle has turned this team around no question. But I really do believe he takes the offensive genius title to heart. It’s about the little details that wins you games. He trusts his original game plan too much, and usually it has his team winning but when they’re losing they usually never come back. Basically what I’m saying is that Kyle is not good at improvising.
I'll try this with you. If you're having a *really bad day* you'll want to call _old_ friends, watch _familiar_ TV shows or an old movie, listen to music from better times. The subconscious (SC) regards _familiar things_ as comforting. What does an NFL coach who can't escape immediate stress do? Calls _familiar_ plays as if they were more effective than winning ones. They're not aware they're doing it. This is where Andy Reid rules. He looks ahead & plans for as many scenarios as he can handle. When you do _that,_ the SC shifts them from unfamiliar to familiar & they become part of where your SC goes to seek comfort, _OR_ he's one of those rare people who doesn't emotionally freeze in these situations. It's one or the other. So, while Shanahan seeks to not overload his mind with Every Possibility, which _is_ the right course btw, you can freeze from information overload too, he always thinks he's gonna know what to do when the time comes No Matter What the situation. But when we're stressed, the SC takes over. If you _try_ to go against it, it becomes like a nagging 4-year-old who wants you to return to The Familiar. If this is what's happening, he will not be aware it's happening & won't be able to fight it. Look at Mike McCarthy: he's been doing this *for **_decades_* that we know of. Or the article about Sean "lost a game in 13 seconds due to my play-calling" McDermott indicated he's an even more extreme version of this. Both have to shut out the voices of anyone else because they can't juggle them _AND_ their own internal one pushing them towards calling Familiar Plays Only. With McDermott, he seizes up SO much he actually thinks everyone else is out to get him & can't leave the play-calling in their hands. I was _hoping_ Alex would do a video like this.
@@choosecarefully408 great comment, psychology plays a huge part. I hope Kyle gets over this hump. He deserves it. But changes need to be made. Big credit to Reid their Saturday practice was fully dedicated to situational football.
@@choosecarefully408 100% - Shanahan has lost so many of his coaches and personnel that he keeps digging in his heels to "his scheme" while the players keep losing in the biggest moments. No evolution. No trust. Won't let anyone else call plays. It's bordering on maniacal and as a Niner faithful, my only hope is for Lynch to seize control and force Kyle out of it
@@jcm7814 Thanks. It's actually very common. In real life, people feel better when they return to Feeling Comfortable With changes rather than making them. Like how anti-GMO protests lose support. Why? Did people get rid of 'em? Nope. Over time our subconscious (SC) just wants to stop feeling uncomfortable. So it mistakes getting there by no longer rejecting them as Accomplishing The Goal. Only acceptance allows us to feel calm. So this applies to WAY MORE than sports.
@@travisov Someone else said something that may be a factor: Kyle is a prodigy. His dad had a lot of difficulty getting on with team *owners* & may have taught Kyle to keep things to himself. Or it could be the stuff I said, or both. When people feel stressed, loneliness feels like it's a part of it since we always feel alone in our troubled times. This is one of those feelings that magnifies itself. So it can spiral. The stress of the game causes one to *want* to magnify that feeling. Ahh, psychology. It isn't a Fun Topic by any means, but _I_ like it for some strange reason.
Shanahan's biggest issue is a lack of humility. He's a smart coach and great offensive mind, but his arrogance and unwillingness to admit his mistakes (and learn from them) holds him back from being a great head coach, leader and, ultimately, super bowl champion.
I have the Best Plan in the Universe. How can it be wrong? How can I go to a LESSER PLAN? - KS
Or maybe Mahomes is better than him and Purdy combined lmao
Shanahan seems like a rat tbh. Apparently he tried to sign Tom Brady this off season instead of sticking with his MVP candidate QB on a rookie contract. He also fired the DC even though the defense kept them in the game until the very end
@@yaahlabanyamyan144 Mahomes is great but he was pretty cheeks in the SB. D won them the game 100%.
Excellent point. I believe that Shanahan's stubbornness especially using Deebo to do traditional wide receiver duties is a big mistake and he hasn't learned from them. Deebo is a phenomenal receiver when he has the ball in his hands and can run for YAC yards, but to ask him to separate himself from the DB in a traditional post route is a mistake. Great video.
I’m from the UK and in 2019 was watching a playoff game on the TV in London with the Kansas City Chiefs and was mesmerised by Mahomes. At that moment I decided to pick the Chiefs as my team they went on that year to beat the 49ers. Since then the Chiefs have been to 3 more, Super Bowls have won two more and I must be the happiest man in the United Kingdom because my team just keep winning and winning and winning and it’s great to see.
Be glad you missed the pre-Andy Reid era 😂
@@TJJ117 ((((🦅)))) We comin
Being the happiest man in the UK isn’t a low bar to limbo.
Bragging that you are a complete bandwagon doesn’t make you as cool as you think it does
Kyle Shanahan and Mike McDaniels are great playcallers. But it seems like their biggest problem is that they tend to outplay themselves.
Or, injuries...... common sense isn't common anymore 🤦♂️
@@M1ster.Fr3shpor Que no los dos?
They can't be great if the don't win the game
@@M1ster.Fr3shstop the excuses 😂😂
@@doinkz2541 point proven......
Funny How Shanahan didn't realize that Ayuik has emerged as inarguably one of the best number 1 Receiver in the game.
he is not a #1, #1s don't disappear when they are pressed & can fight through reroutes.
Best case scenario he is just inside the top 20 WRs. It's likely worse than that, he plays with multiple all pro players and an elite playcaller
@@Zfb124 Lol for real he is on the most complete offenses and ine of the best playcallers and these clowns still think he’s a #1. The guys good but if he was as great as people think with an offense like this around him he shouldve broke kupp or megatrons record
He’s top ten at best
He’s a system WR. Rashee Rice is better. In fact the 9ers should trade Aiyuk and draft his replacement in the mid rounds. He shouldn’t have his 5th year extension triggered at all. 14 million? Lol
I'm a big Shanahan fan but this dude had the gaul to fire Steve Wilks when he was the one who cost the Niners this Superbowl
It had nothing to do with the Super Bowl. They win he’s still gone.
lol. thank you.@@zach6915
@zach6915 I get that, but if they would've won and Shanahan fires Steve Wilks regardless then it says alot about Shanahan considering the two previous DC's in Ryans and Saleh both fit what philosophy Shanahan wants but both failed to help deliver him a Superbowl. Instead he fires the guy that helped him win one because their philosophies were different. Just my hypothetical opinion on the situation had the Niners won.
Wilks was not fired because of the Super Bowl, he was fired because of the defenses huge drop in performance from 2022. The went from #2 against the run in 22 under Demeco Ryans to #26 in 23 under Wilks. The defense went from #1 in total defense in 2022 to #12 in 2023. That was after an offseason where they added Javon Hargrave in free agency and Chase Young midseason, while also still having Bosa, Warner, Greenlaw, Mooney Ward etc. That kind of a drop in performance with all that talent will get you fired.
@@Austinawesome56 26th against the run? By what metric??? lol they were 14th in YPC, still a downgrade, but 26th?? Is that including TDs? Legit have no idea where you pulled that stat from. Can we be a bit more specific? #12 in total defence? Meaning??? They were 8th in total points allowed, and 9th on a per drive basis. They were 8th in total yards and 14th on a per drive basis. Tho last year they were 5th in yards on a per drive basis. So a drop off but not quite 1st to 12th. Feel like ur stats are wrong, but would like to hear the specific metrics to take a look. I like stats. But yeah, Wilks had a dropoff. But also, it was his first year. Demeco's first year the stats weren't that great.
The 49ers are the only team who doesn’t realize Brandon Aiyuk’s greatness
the chiefs will fully utilize him next year
Oh jeez don’t put that image in my head. They may go 16-1 at worst if they get Brandon Aiyuk. 😩
As great as he was, he was being covered and beat by Sneed on a lot of his routes too
@@Crocoroar That happens to everybody tho.
Remeber he was in the dog house in his early career.
Purdy is still having nightmares of Chris Jones
Purdy is fine, Kyle is fine too cause he doesn’t mind losing
chris jones literally the nightmare of all niner fans
Cold sweats 😓
The 49ers lose super bowls cause of mentality like this@@millmoormichael6630
Kyle Shanahan needs an OC
Lol that's one of the craziest comments I've heard on this video 😂
Not really. Dude get's in his own way more than anyone else does. An OC to step in and maybe say... "run the ball you fucking nitwit..." is EXACTLY what shanny needs. 😂😂😂@maskedman5657
@@TheInfiiexcept they were not running the ball effectively, especially after that opening drive.
@@TheInfii nail on the head brother
@@maskedman5657 he's the only coach in nfl without one.
Both mcvay and Shanahan are great at coming up with a game plan but horrible at adjustments. Spags is the best at in game adjustments I’ve ever seen.
that’s why we fired wilks also
Mcvay is great at adjustments, especially 2nd half adjustments. What are you smoking..
Bill pretty great too tbh. But Chiefs' second half defence was pretty wild
@@cruxe2372 Ehh I can't say that about their SB win in 2022. Donald and that defense carried in the 2nd half while Kupp and Stafford kept trying to get a big shot. Especially since OBJ got injured in the first half and never came back on the field.
I don't think it was an adjustment at all. I think he knew he was going to play single-high man from watching the Cleveland tape.
Better coaching staff beat the better roster.
The Niner's D completely shut down the Chiefs until Greenlaw got hurt, then the middle of the field suddenly opened up. Same thing happened a couple years ago in the 49ers - Rams NFC championship game. Rams had 7 points in the first half, Greenlaw got hurt and the Rams came back. The dude is the most underrated player in the NFL.
@@elmerbeltshire7599yeah when Greenlas went down and #48 didn't do his job. That's when it went downhill. Not saying it's all on 1 man. But #48 messed up the defense
Hell no, the Chiefs are as good or better, even in a bad receivers year
@@elmerbeltshire7599he's done with that injury, he will never be the same, and will always be on course to reinjure that Achilles again, well always be on his mind
Shanahan embarrassed the Niners more than anyone
*This video tells me two things about my 49ers:* 1. Deebo Samuel doesn’t have much of a future on the team 2. The O Line needs to be finally prioritized
Deebo got paid and is now dead weight.
@@paulgaither It’s painful for me to say because I bought a red Deebo throwback jersey last year but he essentially became an expensive cheerleader and decoy without the ball in his hands. The 49ers will have to design their offense with less of an emphasis on Deebo in the future-or trade him.
@@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly - It is what it is. I prefer to buy jerseys of the true hard workers on the team like Juice and Trent. Kyle's run game didn't seem to have any creativity in it at all.
Both of yall are trippin.. is he overpaid? Sure. But deadweight or a decoy? That's over- exaggeration Deebo is 1 of 1 in this league. But Kyle has emptied the entire bag of playcalls. Nothing is surprising anymore. They need to gameplan better for Deebo. But CMC has had a fumble in each of our biggest losses...why aren't you criticizing him? Also, Deebo always makes huge plays when the team needs it.
I find the Deebo comment incredibly short sighted especially coming from a Niners fan like yourself. Like Yes Deebo has been overpaid but to imply he's just an expensive Cheerleader and Decoy is just wild to me. The guy has some of the best abilities of picking up yards after catch not even close to anyone else in the league. He's incredibly tough, great at breaking tackles, and has fantastic long speed. His role in Shanahans offense is what makes him so dang special as a player. Just because he disappeared in the playoffs would all of sudden mean he wouldn't have a future
Winning in this league is so hard. It's literally a fickle game of inches. As a lifelong Chiefs fan it feels surreal that we've won 3 in last 5 years. The sky is not falling for the 49ers, and there isn't some massive gap between KC and the rest of the contenders. The Chiefs were one play away in each SB from being 3 time SB losers. Not taking credit away from my Chiefs because it takes an insane mix of health, game planning, coaching, execution, adjustments, a bit of luck, and guys making one more play in a crucial spot to win the down. We've been on the opposite side of these where Mahomes throws a wide open 3rd/Goal TD to Tyreek from the 2 yard line right in the dirt vs the Bengals in that AFCCG before halftime (then get stopped with no points on 4th down)... Or Dee Ford's offsides vs Brady at the end of that AFCCG. Just watching all the game tape breakdowns shows how razor thin the margins are between winning and losing in this league when two great teams are on the field.
Respect to you man. You're not one of those fans out there laughing and saying 49ers suck! Because they don't they're a really really good football team who's just got unlucky a lot of times. Hopefully the Niners can keep strong and continue to be contenders every year
I mean match ups are a thing as well. Folks ate up Brock's numbers vs the blitz in the regular season probably felt bamboozled he wasn't doing as hot after Spags adjusted in the 2nd half. That was all while Spags had his defense selling out against the run. Kyle doing more guard pulling for the O-line did no favors since the Chiefs have no problems getting rushes from their interior guys. Also doesn't help the Niners like to play condensed sets against one of the best blitzing teams who utilizes DBs. And as bad as Reid's game plan was, Mahomes adjusted well in the 2nd half to the Niners zone coverage play. Sure the Niners could have found a way to beat out these situations in key situations but that was the story for me.
@@t4d0W I agree. Plenty of people have broken down all the details, decisions, and adjustments that lead to this Chiefs win. Just stating how wild it is that in spite of all that the 49ers were one blitz pickup from icing the game in the 4th quarter with 2 minutes left on the 3rd and 4.
wow dude what a reasonable and sensible perspective... get lost lol this place is only for shit talkers!!
People need to read this comment. Finding a constructive and sensible comment on KZhead is like a needle in a haystack. Even the title of this video is ridiculous. Embarrassed the 49ers. By winning in overtime. The margin of this game was minuscule.
I don’t think anybody wanted KC to win, but now seeing how unprepared this team was, it kind of feels like KC had no other option but to do away with these bums
That’s the thing. Everyone picked San Fran because of their talent advantage, overlooking the enormous coaching advantage that the Chiefs have over just about every team currently.
I think the idea that SF has more talent than KC is absurd. Mahomes over Purdy Kittle is miles from Kelce Chiefs D is superior to SF Deebo is old Aiyuk was shut down CMC is great to be sure
Aiyuk wasn’t shut down he was open a ton but Kyle was dialing up plays to deebo @@povertyspec9651
@@povertyspec9651@povertyspec9651 If Mahomes would have had the Niners' offensive weapons this year, the Chiefs would have had the #1 seed easily. Chief's offense sucks for the most part. Will be much better next year.

Fantastic analysis! This is why the chiefs are a a monstrous dynasty, and have the best chance to be the first team in league history to win three super bowls in a row! There is no denying our greatness, we are a dynasty.
Yea there no substance by all the whiners claiming the refs are on kc team during the super bowls either. I'm so tired of hearing how bosa was held and it wasn't called. I don't care how many plays he was held. If the refs choose not to see it, it didn't happen.
@@kenw2225 exactly, the refs were in the 49ers pocket and they still couldnt seal the win. Every playoff game up to the superbowl the refs negated 1-2 touchdowns for the chiefs to try and prevent them from winning, and in the super bowl they continually marked the chiefs a yard short from where they were on camera to keep them from 1st downs. But thats why we are a dynasty! Not even the refs can rig the game against us! Chiefs dynasty baby

Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo out coach Kyle Shannon and 49ers.
Wow what a shocker.
Just Kyle Shannahan not Wilks
I just watched the NFL mic’ed up video from this game. Another big thing I noticed was that the Chiefs seemed to be more positive in general & we’re more confident in the 4th & OT (which is understandable). It just seemed like the KC sideline was a less stressful, lighter place to be & I think at least some of that comes down to coaching & environment.
and as a consequence of playing bad offense, the 49ers fire their defensive coordinator ... need somebody to blame i guess ...
Incredible to see Chris Jones sniffing out the run like a blood hound when just a couple years ago you'd see him break into the backfield then do his best imitation of the John Travolta Pulp Fiction meme.
I believe the addition of Joe Cullen to the KC Chiefs as defensive line coach made a difference.
We definitely saw Bosa doing that this game. There were quite a few runs where the runner just ran around him as he was trying to pressure the QB. Play fakes seem to destroy Bosa
True, now he runs with his head up and eyes open, and even manipulates the blocker in front of him to set a roadblock for the ball carrier.
He has truly improved against the run. For the longest time he was a pass rusher only.
Great analysis! There's more to an NFL game than meets the eye.
Scapegoated Steve Wilkes when this offense can’t do anything in the second lol
Kyle is terrible when teams play tight man coverage it’s the same thing the Browns did and look how useless he was that game. You have to dare Kyle to call a shot play
@@patek9789I agree. Kyle lives and dies by intermediate passes and the middle of the field but not having a deep ball hurt the 49ers this game. All that man coverage and no deep balls completed.
if you payed attention to the 49ers during the season steve wilkes was terrible. Even if the niners had won this one steve wilkes would still be gone
@@Huntman1103 Uh, he happens to have someone with a noodle arm at QB (elephant in the room).😂
@@dibutv Mike McDonald called a defense that held KC to 17 points & everyone looked at Lamar/Todd Monken asking “wth happened?” But Kyle gets a pass when his defense holds KC to 19 points ? Demco Ryan’s defenses had 19 points/game while Wilkes defense gave up 17 points/game this season.
3 of the 7 come backs of 10 points or more in the superbowl belong to Kyle shanahan. His playcalls aren’t why they win they’re why they lose. Vikings exposed this group mid season and shanahan made zero adjustments. If we excuse this failure it’s destined to happen again.
Spags has been the dog in every Superbowl he has won. He is a mastermind in throwing a wrench in your blocking scheme and creating havoc, and frustration. Every team the Chiefs play say they are gonna run the ball, yet none of them can do it. it has been amazing to watch. Pat & Travis gets all the glory so it's good to see people recognizing the D.
What a great video! Reminds of how the Chiefs were just not ready for Tampa Bay, and TB brought it! Thanks Alex!!!
Thanks Moises brother!
"Where Chris Jones lives" 😂
🥶🤣💍‼️
I was called a hater and not a true 9er fan because I pointed out Kyle didn’t have nothing prepared vs Spaggs scheme . The same scheme he ran in the prior Superbowl and regular season game all Chiefs victories. Getting CMC involved in wheel routes would have destroyed man to man vs linebackers These routes from the the backfield < [
Wow that’s disappointing for 49ers fans. Makes you wonder how the game would have gone if Shannahan had used Aiyuk as his #1
I cant believe they threw that playaction shotgun pass on 3rd and 4 in OT. As CMC was jetting across i was screaming for them to flip it to him since they had hardly been attacking outside the numbers at all. Kurt Warner's breakdowns also go to show that even Kyle's scheming is questionable at times, not to mention the lack of preparation
Don't forget Kyle pulled the center while using the best offensive player as a decoy as well
@@kenw2225 another reason to run it there too hey
Ive been a Chiefs fan all 37 years of my life. Chris Jones, they better pay that man.
Kyle had a look of anxiety and uncertainty throughout the entire game. As a matter of fact, the only coach that actually looked like he knew what he was doing was Spags.
Kyle's plays are too predictable! If it is a running play, you know who wil get the ball.
That's an incredible game plan out of Spags... That Def is one of the best I've seen. Congrats Chiefs
5:38 this shift by Jones... clearly Chiefs defense, from coaching all the way down to the players on the line, are next level football IQ!
Shanahan forcing the ball to Deebo is even crazier when you realize that he had AT LEAST THREE GUYS (Aiyuk, Kittle and Jennings) who would have been far better options to run plays for against man coverage
One of my initial biggest takeaways from this game is that well rounded teams have and will consistently beat these avenger esque squads, and that the niners roster has more holes/problems than any of us wanted to admit prior to the game
Our spirit is broken, and KYLE has a vote of No confidence. It was All or nothing and we lost. Too many players are going to leave. It will take us years to recover from this. Bad MOJO for being so arrogant. Too many players obsessed with marketing and dooms us. Bosa is an idiot, Kittle is trying to be Zoolander and Deebo and Trent need to lose the boombox. KYLE is NOT a leader of Men and crumbles in the heats of battle. Cowardly and embarassing and not the 49ER legacy.
Wow. Spags is a damn genius
As a rams fan this brings joy to my ears. Honestly not sure if they will get a trophy in the near future if they failed with arguably the best roster in the NFL and a shot at redemption against the chiefs. Maybe it just wasnt meant to be for shanahan he had his chance plenty of times in Nfc championship games and in atlanta vs the pats
You make it sound like SF was exterminated. This was 3 point game that went down to the final seconds of OT.
@@zach6915where do you get exterminated from his post? He said they failed not that they got blown out.
Previously teams had to worry about just the chiefs offence, now they’ve gotta worry about the defence too. I Love it here #chiefskingdom 💪🏾💪🏾
Pet peeve: assuming winning team would have lost if losing team only had done "x". Whose to say Spags wouldn't have simply adjusted to account for any adjustments by the 49ers? There is a difference in analyzing why a team lost and claiming they would have won if "such and such" happened.
This! All this Kyle Shannahan bashing is pretty lame. It kills me when people retrospectively nitpick on what coaches/players did wrong with a fine tooth comb. Kyle is a great coach, but Andy and Spags are better. Purdy is good, but 15 is better. That’s the size of it.
Its less about whoever didn't do "X" wouldn't win but if the coaches can adjust fast enough to make it matter before the end of the game. Plus Spags did go about his own risky way of selling out to defend the Niners run which worked. He then masterfully adjusted by playing the deep throws in the 2nd half and playing more man coverage. Shanahan needed to show more of his hand beyond finding Aiyuk deep in those possessions because Spags' defense has been successful all night. Along with the Mahomes insurance on a final possession.
Glad to see someone truly call Kyle Shanahan out over some awful macro decision-making.
I wonder if Kyle could use an OC to bounce his ideas off of and also someone who can keep his “offensive system” mindset in check. Watching this video almost makes me think Kyle’s a narcissist and can’t even consider that HIS offense isn’t working. I’m a die hard Niners fan btw
Mahomes isn’t easy to beat bc he came back from 24-0 too !
Sick of hearing he's an "offensive genius". His lack of adjustments, improvising and lack of accountability is what's really offensive
Shanahan's system is unparalleled and his play design is elite. His situational play calling and in game adjustments, however? Both can be shockingly mediocre. He's far too rigid in his systems and stubborn in his game plans. This is where Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo schooled him. Both coaches made dramatic adjustments as the game went on and as a result, right when the 49ers started to buckle, the Chiefs punched through.
You just can't fall in love with your own cleverness and put Plan A on a pedestal. You have to have Plan B, C, D and E and be ready to use them.
Kyle’s not the guy for these moments. How many more SB’s will he blow before we move on?
Go back to 8-8 every year then. Shanahan is clearly a great coach.
Do other teams employ one HC for these moments & another for all the others? Look at Mike McCarthy. Find a summary of the McDermott article (Bills HC): both are _WAY_ worse than Shanahan. Shanahan is *slow* to change in games. McCarthy & McDermott both regress to calling *familiar plays* instead of effective ones & the more they fail, the more they call them one down after another. When you're really stressed you need The Familiar: watch an old movie, eat comfort food, listen to music from better times. This isn't a Conscious Reaction. All reactions are emotional. The emotional response is to Seek The Familiar. Unfortunately, playoff games are not the time to succumb to this desire. But since they're not consciously aware their own minds are forcing them to do this, they get _more_ anxious when they try to fight it. McCarthy & McDermott are more extreme than Shanahan (wait, are these guys _ALL_ Irish)? Matt Lafleur is even slower than Shanahan to adjust in games. Look at what the Ravens didn't do. Most people can't keep their thoughts clear when stressed. Reid either does one of two things: he tries to think of every scenario in advance so his brain includes those in his subconscious so they become familiar, or he's one of those rare people who doesn't seize up like most of us in the clutch & can think clearly.
Move on to who exactly?
@@innocentfba with that 49ers roster, some random guy on the street will get you back to the Superbowl.
@@FIa5hliterally the most retarded statement I’ve ever read on KZhead. You should be ashamed 😂
Reid and Spags took Shanahan to school
You make it sound like SF was exterminated. This was 3 point game that went down to the final seconds of OT.
Kyle Shanahan the “genius” 😂
And to think SF thought firing Wilks was the right move. 😂
Look at the Eagles, Sirianni obviously lost the locker room at some point during the season, but we'll just fire the coordinators, that'll fix everything!
Damn this might be one of the best breakdowns I've seen. Amazing work and editing, I feel like I learned quite a bit from this
If the Chiefs somehow manage to get CJ95 a contract and give LJ Sneed a contract, the league is in trouble next year because basically every other position is locked down. Factor in that Mahomes will get another good/elite reciever weather via FA or the draft this year and you can write it now. Chiefs for the three peat.
I would say you're crazy, but Brett Veach is a wizard of a GM who has a habit of bending the salary cap to his will. Would not surprise me if he managed to sign both Chris Jones and L'Jarius Sneed.
@@richardsinclair7661we are keeping them both
Guess what Shanahan fired the only guy who kept the game competitive
Kyle will never learn, hes holding purdy back.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
dawg, you crucified DeeBoo 💀😭😂
Deebo trash. Boy has a montage of crying photos after big games but loves to drag guys through the mud when he wins. He’s the definition of a sore winner.
Shanahan is the Doc Rivers of the NFL. It wont be long until everyone across the league starts calling him out on his flaws that lose his teams the big games
Good one Alex. Your channel is so good for letting me know exactly what happened. Good season man. Sadge
Thanks for your support brother!
Ehhh..."embarrassed" is a strong description after losing in OT to Patrick Mahomes, but yes it was a rough game for us fans. Hopefully the 49ers make fixing the OL in the offseason a priority. Kyle needs to start targeting guys that can pass block, and not get so dialed in on run blockers in my opinion. Those problems really nuked the 49ers as time went on, especially the right side in pass pro. Feliciano, Buford, and McKivitz just aren't the answer at RG/RT. Anyway, thanks for sharing your insight on what happened. Even if the loss was a gut-punch, it's important to see the pitfalls that can occur when a team's offensive line pass pro is bad.
Sure, but I think there were so many opportunities to win, it was just so frustrating that they didn't pull through. Yeah the OL has been brutal
I saw a lot of Purdy haters saying "he only went to his first read" as if he had time to be hated as a "checkdown merchant" with CJ owning the right side line.
Kyle shows his genius too much. Instead of doing the obvious, he always outsmarts himself and its SOOOOOO frustrating
I am not surprise Kyle Shanahan got out coached!
Impressive breakdown and analysis. End of season dominance as usual by American Football Conference. Just win baby!
Something your team hasn’t done in 40 years! Just lose baby! How’s LA by the way? Oops, I meant Oakland.....jeeez sorry, how’s Vegas???? 😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡
Nor has your team accomplished in 30 years. Eddie D. was gangsta...just like your newest fanbase. Santa Clara, California...where is that again?
I find it strange that Steve Spagnollo hasn't been hired as an NFL head coach yet.
He's been a head coach 2 different times. He was the coach of the Rams from 2009-2011, and he was the interim head coach for the Giants in 2017. He's never been good at being a head coach. He had the foresight to recognize that and went back to what he was good at in being a defensive coordinator.
Alex, your analysis is epic!!! You do the BEST NFL stuff on the internet! By far!! Thank you!!!
great video!! Well said
Post an analyses vid of Deebo crying. He does it so much, it definitely deserves its own video
Out coached, out classed, out prep...
I still didn't think the run defense the Patriots played against the Rams would work. Don't the 49ers play Duo-RUN?
There were multiple times where i said out loud during the game, "no way, he cant be actually calling cover 0 here. Thats crazy". He had some super ballsy play calls. But Sneed and McDuffie especially were playing out of their minds during the Superbowl. And i guess with Mahomes on the other side of the ball you can get pretty ballsy with your defenseive playcalling.
Old guy here. Rooting for the Chiefs, but figured it had to fall a certain way for them to win. No turnovers, stop CMC from running and pass catching all over them, force Purdy to panic and throw multiple INTs or get sacked. Of course, Chiefs defense have to play brilliantly like they did most of the season, offense get in the lead to force SF to abandon the run, then confuse Purdy even more, and hopefully, catch a break. Didn’t really count on KS being sort of a bonehead on a couple of occasions though. I didn’t realize Deebo was that bad in man coverage, but KS kept going to him, 3/11 is not going to cut it. The thing I don’t understand was why at 2:00 minute mark in the 4th quarter with the niners at the KC 35 yardline on a 3rd and 4 or 5, WHY did KS call for a pass instead of a run? A run might or might not have gotten the 1st down, but it would have taken time off the clock, or better yet forced the Chiefs to use a timeout. Then they still could have kicked the FG or better yet gone for it and iced the game like the Chiefs did last year. Worst case scenario, they don’t get the 1st down, but take off 70 seconds off the clock, and Chiefs have no timeouts. Or even, line up to go for it on 4th down, let the clock wind down while they try to draw them offside, then call their own TO to set up their FG. Either way, you take time off the clock. If you don’t make it, KC would have to drive about 50 yards to get into FG range with zero timeouts to set up the winning FG. You’re going to OT anyway may as well take as much time off the clock. SF just left too much time for MaHomes, along with 2 timeouts to either tie or win the game. KC took a shot at the end zone and dame near won the game in regulation. Then taking the ball first in OT. I don’t really have a problem with that, except your offense had damn well better score a TD, because kicking the FG is just plain stupid. Anyway it made for an exciting game, one that the niners lost. Go three peat Chiefs!
You went about it a long way but Shanahan has shown that despite his talent in play calling for the offense, his HC skills for clock management and taking 'better' risks deep in the 4th within 2-3 minutes of time left are not great. Even as talent ladened as his offense was, he was still seeing the game situation in a myopic way and was willing to die on that hill.
Deebo should have been RB2 and had 8 carries for 48 yards JFK
Yeah idk about that last part you said on the niners being back in the SB … a decade ago, they had similar success with the same team but under a different regime/HC… 3 conference title appearances and 1 SB appearance, and nothing .. Maybe he does have one last run in him, but that locker room sure is gonna have lot of raised eyebrows and (potential) concerns moving forward… could history be repeating itself?
Great analysis. Learned a lot! I knew but wouldn’t’ve been able to explain it!!
Great analysis but that last line isnt a guarantee. I think they have 1 more yr of brocks rookie scale contract. Meaning next year is likely the last time they have 6 pro bowlers on offense. If they dont win next year the core will change. Brock will have to truly become elite if theyre to win with less overall talent after next year
Yea maybe hold off on the 49er Super Bowl talk a little bit 😂
Lol ikr. A lot of things basically went their way to make it to the SB. What’re the chances of CMC being healthy for the entire season again? Highly unlikely they’ll make it again next season. And they have to pay Brock the season after. I doubt they’ll be back here again tbh.
This is the best breakdown of the game I have seen, thank you.
Great video I really enjoyed watching.
Thanks!
They let Kyle Shanahan be Kyle Shanahan
It’s hilarious how well cover zero was working for the chiefs and Shanahan had to actually call a time out on the final drive to get his DC to not call it on a specific play lol. Mahomes was cooking them on cover zero at the end cuz obviously he would lol. That play calling was atrocious. Get in your base and hold on for dear life.
GREAT VIDEO BRO. I'm sending this to every 49ers fan that I know
Thanks my guy!
My biggest takeaway from this video was that Spags outcoached Shanahan. To make it worse, Shanahan's adjustments were of no effect because Spags had a counter. Niners glaring weakness is the O-Line and has been for several years now. These weaknesses need to be addressed in the off-season without a doubt.
Our spirit is broken, and KYLE has a vote of No confidence. It was All or nothing and we lost. Too many players are going to leave. It will take us years to recover from this. Bad MOJO for being so arrogant. Too many players obsessed with marketing and dooms us. Bosa is an idiot, Kittle is trying to be Zoolander and Deebo and Trent need to lose the boombox. KYLE is NOT a leader of Men and crumbles in the heats of battle. Cowardly and embarassing and not the 49ER legacy.
Not even a 49er fan, BUT it was literally a 3 point game
I know lmao. Literally ONE PLAY here or there (a couple times in particular) from the 49ers winning and can you imagine people saying "shanahan and the 9ers got embarrassed out there" "it was pitiful" etc. People are so results focused it's wild.
A tight score game where the Chiefs have the defense to give Mahomes the final possession? Damn son where have we seen this before? That is where casual heads see the game differently vs seasoned vets. The 2nd half adjustments were HUGE for the Chiefs and I did not like the Niners chances of winning in such a situation without clear adjustments themselves.
His point is that the Niners are supposed to walk all over the weaker Chiefs team who was struggling in the regular season with dropped passes…
Alternate title: How to make AlexRollinsNFL eat his words about Purdy destroying the blitz.
Alternate title: don't let Chris Jones go unblocked, but lol Dawg -shit- Bone wants to meme.
There was no beating the blitz for Purdy because nobody was open😭
@@lukegarcia867he had 3 people open deep and guess what he did? Sailed it over their head just like Jimmy G used to
@@patek9789 it’s almost like Chris Jones was directly in his face and didn’t allow him to set his feet and make a good throw😱
Regular season numbers don't equate to postseason results. Spags blitzes and pressure looks with a monster like Chris Jones and the rest of the Chiefs defense were on another level. Also didn't help the Niners kept pulling interior O-line around which made it easy for Jones to get easy matchups and try wall off Purdy.
Incredible video. This is next world/next level.
Thanks brother!
Deebo had a step on mcduffie until he realized the ball was thrown late and had to backtrack
I have it on high authority from 49ers fans that it was the refs. The same refs who allowed that CMC touchdown even though two linemen were being clearly held at the horsecollar, and called a hold by McDuffie in OT (granted, it was a penalty) that gave the Niners a mulligan after failing to convert third and long.
That was definitely supposed to be incidental contact, no flag
@@AreYouFNQRAZIII don't have a problem with the flag. We've seen those hooks around eligible receivers' waists get called, so I thought it was a fair penalty.
plus 2 OLineman illegally downfield on that TD lol
@@pjny21Genuinely wondering, was that a missed penalty? Because I thought that was called only if the play involved a forward throw past the LOS.
It was a pass behind the line. Kc fans are making up missed penalties because they can't cope with all the obvious holds by their o line that weren't called. When the refs aren't playing for their team. They get blown out by a 51 years old Brady.
Did you know? Kyle Shanahan is the only coach in the NFL that DOESN'T employ an offensive coordinator?
He had Mcdaniel as his OC the year before he went to the dolphins, I don't think he doesn't want one, they just need to be good maybe, just guessing
@@innocentfba but they didn't replace McDaniels. When Bienemy left KC, they replaced him. Bobby Slowik was WIDELY known as an up and coming talent...and look at what he did with CJ Stroud! SF lost Slowik because they don't have an OC position. The ego of Kyle Shanahan is wrecking this team on many levels
Yeah, that's fair, your comment made it seem like you meant he never has and never will, but under the right circumstances, it seems like he would. Either way, if they don't address that o-line soon we’ll be back here again!
I remember folks saying the 49's were the better team the first time the Chiefs beat them in a Super bowl. I guess some things never change.
I wouldn't be suprised if Aiyuk leaves. He was not given the No.1 focus in the SB even though he's been the No.1 reciever all year
Another thing to add Chris jones… not bad at football
They most certainly didn’t embarrass Kyle. That was a great, close game between two top teams
What an amazing break down. Thanks man 👏✌️
Great breakdown! Thank you for being a creator.
The weakest link on the 49ers is the coaching. He's a great regular season coach but once the preasure hits and the play offs begin, the entire team plays way below average. If they faced the packers and lions in the regular season, i don't think it's competitive at all but the play off preasure made those games nail biters. The super bowl is much worse because he has a history of catastrophic loses and I think that has scarred him and it's a demon he's trying to overcome but is clearly failing
The strongest link for kc is the refs refusing to call a hold on their o line in the super bowl. When the refs are for us, who can be against us?
They got beat in Super Bowl because they got outcoached.
Ever since he blew the 25 point lead in the SB with the Falcons, I've believed Shanahan THINKS he's the smartest person in football history and that no matter what he wants to do, it'll work simply because he believes he's smarter than anyone else. This is now the 3rd SB where that flaw may have been on display. He's a brilliant coach overall, but he doesn't have the adaptability some other great coaches have.
Kyle Shanahan is great at play designs but horrible at playcalling. Not making adjustments against the Chief’s aggressive defense cost him another SB. Should’ve schemed more short pass concepts, screens, pre snap motions, and designed man beater routes for CMC against the linebackers (Texas, wheels, etc).
LMAO I like how Shanahan was attached to the 28-3 Falcons meme but he wasn't the guy coaching the defense. Meanwhile people forget Dan Quinn was the HC/defensive play caller of that Falcons team who gave up points to Brady in the second half. But I also don't expect Shanahan to be the guy try win a pivotal SB on a close game as the Niners HC against the caliber of Reid/Mahomes/Spags.
@@t4d0W True but after Julio made that unreal sideline catch in the 4th to get them in field goal range, he chose to pass instead of 3 safer runs and a chance to go up 2 possessions if they made the kick. They got a holding call and then either a sack to push them out of FG range or a strip sack as a result. Also, 7 of those 28 points were scored by the D on a pick 6. Not like Shanahan had been dialing up a master class on O. Put up 14 in the first half, 7 in the second, with no 4th quarter points. Sounds pretty similar to all 3 superbowls he's coached in so that's why he still gets the flak for that game. Dan Quinn crapped the bed late in the game too, don't get me wrong, but Shanahan had the chance to win and schemed himself into a loss. Massive credit to Spags, they held 3 of the 4 best offences in the league to 19 or fewer points in 4 quarters each game
As a long time Chiefs fan I have to say this is one of most honest breakdowns out there.
Big thanks for the step-by-step analysis, so eye-opening for a non player like myself. You make the game even more beautiful to watch.
Shanahan definitely needs to be fired
Yes he does , but how do u fire a guy who made the SB?😊
@@marcojimenez5555 trade him for a Joe Staley type right tackle and two shut down CBs. Hire Belichick. Fans will cry for exactly 5 min. Sooner they do it the better. Maybe Brady will even play for one year to get #8. Then it's back to Purdy
