How bout them Chiefs?!

Not sure if it has been said already, but if you select defense first, give up a TD, then you drive down the field and score a TD, go for two points for the win. Don’t let Mahomes decide the outcome. Also, your kicker already missed an XP. Go for two and let your offense determine the winner right there

I will say the defense was exhausted though, which may be why they wanted to get the ball first

My guess is it was 100 percent to give the D a breather. They needed off the field after almost giving up the game winner in regulation.

And he only missed those throws because the line was horrendous. There was someone in his face constantly. Those big throws were timing routes, and everything got thrown off.

Yep, when he overthrew the guy in the end zone late it was because Chris Jones was in his face and kept him from following through. Give Brock one more second and that’s a TD.

Something that gets overlooked is that Purdy tore his UCL and had really no offseason. With UCL tear/surgery it's a 9-month recovery time. Hell of year for Purdy and we all should be proud.

There was a couple plays where if the o-line held up there could have been a big play. The biggest one was OT at 7:28 mark(3rd down play) where Aiyuk was wide open in the back of the endzone, but no one blocked Chris Jones to Purdy had no time to set his feed and throw.

Ultimately thrilled that we had so many Cyclones in the playoffs, but disappointed none of them won the Super Bowl. We have guys playing with contenders. The future is bright

Kelce is getting up there, so we shall see. I think people are still way too early on the Mahomes catching Brady thing. Seven Super Bowls is an insane number when just playing 7 years in the NFL by itself (yes I know QBs are different) is a nice career. Will Mahomes play at this level into his 40s? Idk. Not saying he can’t catch Tom, but that’s still four more Super Bowls just to tie Brady and Brady (as much as I loathe him) beat Mahomes H2H in the Super Bowl badly, as well as beat him H2H in the AFC Championship when what’s his face jumped offside.

Yea way too early, he has a long ways to go. The Chiefs don’t seem to be as good at replacing higher priced studs with lower priced studs as Belicheck was.

I hate ******** about refs, but damn, numerous missed Chiefs holding calls that were BLATANTLY OBVIOUS

That went both ways. You seem to forget about the linemen downfield on SF's TD play.

 

[CycloneVet]

Name one person who had Chiefs winning 4 weeks ago. That was most difficult playoff run in NFL history.

I didn’t have them winning it but I didn’t count them out either

Also curious if MVS reverts to his old days. The packers let him go because he was at best a 40/60 chance he’d catch the ball when wide open. Then realize that you had Rodgers throwing him the ball and that really showed his stone hands. The guy had 4x the season he’d ever had in Green Bay.

 

[CycloneVet]

I don't hate Brock, he played well, and would have been rooting for him playing any team but the Chiefs. Brock will win championships in the future. Just getting tired of people hating on the Chiefs for winning, we sucked for 40 years, so give those of us that are KC fans a break and let us enjoy this run we are on. Purdy has nothing to do with it, it's all about the Chiefs, back-to-back Champions.

I don’t hate the Chiefs, but the stuff around them is getting obnoxious. Brittany and Jackson Mahomes… The Taylor Swift stuff is mildly annoying. Also have you ever seen anyone ever body check their head coach and scream in his face?

 

[Lineup]

Travis Kelce is a ******* jerk

 

[Halincandenza]

Say what?they just rebuilt their team with young players especially on defense and got rid of Hill and won back to back.

Yeah the D needed a break to even have a chance to stop the Chiefs. The 9ers should've treated their OT drive like TD or bust though. FG wasn't getting it done there

 

[NoCreativity]

Everyone talking about the muffed punt costing them the game, what about Pacheco fumbling inside the 10? That cost them a TD early.

It was there for the taking, but you have to come away with 7 there. Brock played great but really similar to Oklahoma in 19, Big 12 Championship in 2020, Clemson, Washington St.....he played well just needed to make 1 or 2 more plays and they win.

Problem was SF couldn't block Jones. He was the difference maker, took 2 likely SF TD's off the board with pressure. Brock played well enough to win, but they just had a few too many things go against them last night.

Bwahaha, best post in the entire thread. Thank you for the laugh, sir.

Yeah, if his line gave him as much time as Mahomes the 49ers are champions today. I think it's obvious at this point you can't just play "great" and beat Mahomes in the playoffs, you have to be exceptional.
