4th and 4 from the KC 9 in OT

And Shanny Kicks a FG......You 100% have to go for a TD......Worse case is KC is pinned back at the 49ers 9 yard line and KC would not go for it on 4th down as game would be tied.....Did he not see what Maholmes did end of regulation down 3? Chiefs would have scored a TD if they had 10 more seconds...Furthermore..Shanny went for it on 4th and 3 on KC 12 down 13-10 4th quarter  and they scored a TD...yet he pusssiess out and kicks the FG..

Classic choke fiesta by Shanahan

@davemsh

 Agreed 

Tough call, but you gotta know who the QB is on the other team.  I think you go for it as well.  The biggest mistake was the 49ers not deferring after winning the OT coin toss.  The playoff OT rules gives the team who gets the ball 2nd the advantage. It's been proven over and over you don't want Maholmes with the ball last and the game on the line as an opponent.

Shanahan abandoned run game in 3Q to spam passing plays and 3 3&out... some people will never change 

Also a big Fak Up was winning the coin toss and taking the ball 1st? Why? If u take the ball 1st u have go for the TD if get that deep....U ALWAYS play defense 1st and even better u will get the ball not matter if the cheifs score a TD 1st...Bozo take the ball 1st..Does he not know the SB OT rules?

3rd and 4 and they needed to run their horse twice vs a tired KC D Unit...bet anything he would have at least picked up the first and most likely would have broken one of the runs into the EZ

I thought the receiving in ot was odd also. Only thing I can think is he didn't want kc to score a td first and put pressure on purdy

@davemsh

 I agree 

@davemsh

 Exactly!! But the fucking nerd coached like a box the entire game. 

@rosswin97

 If the Niners scored first the Chiefs would have got the ball back to score a TD with the new rules..

@rosswin97

 New rules this year.  Both teams get possession regardless of TD scored. Only way the game ends first possession was on a defensive td

@rosswin97

  Go To bed

Not playoff OT rules.  Both teams get a possession in OT regardless if the 1st team scores a TD.

@UnderdogKing

  Its the Josh Allen Playoff OT rule...

I wouldn't say going for it on 4th down would have been the right call. Should have thrown it on 2nd down. But you can't go for it on 4th down, KC defense in the red zone is so good you probably won't score and then you leave Mahomes only having to get into Butker range which is almost a guarantee.

They lost because of the fumbled punt and the missed PAT. Shanahan playcalling was actually great most of the game. They scored a TD on that trick play, he didn't abandon the run, most of their completed passes were for 1st down yardage.

You simply cannot beat KC without playing mistake free football, and they didn't do that. And when KC made a mistake like that INT, they didn't capitalize

The game was lost in the third when they muffed the punt and gave KC a touchdown.  Until that point, the Chiefs were struggling to move the ball.

Then, inexplicably, they started the 3rd quarter with 6 straight passes, and 3 3 and outs.

Just really awful stuff in the third quarter.

@Jerseyboy89

U can't say that..Because Pacheco fumbled the ball at the 8 yard line when it looked like he would score on a TD run..Those things even out...Mccaffrey Fumbled and Maholmes INT both even out..So turnover's were 2-2...its a wash...

Not true Jerseyboy, they blew the game when that sub tight end got a 10 yard holding penalty! McCafrey was ready to run that thing for a TD!!! It's a shame was rooting for SF to win a close game. Had teasers with KC and over and won but wanted SF to win!

Oh ok

Do you actually bet real money on games and not know the rules. Doiesnt matter if team scores a td, other team still gets ball.

@cd329

Going for it on 4th and 4 was the right call. Period. He also should¡¯ve deferred and played defense. 

Worst case they¡¯re stuck on the 9. You¡¯re going to lose no matter what if they drive 91 yards for TD.  FG was useless. You can¡¯t do that against Mahomes.
