I’m pretty sure it was the Chiefs…
Edit: WTF are you all down voting?! Every time the 49ers lose a big game we can’t resort to the ‘bad luck’ or the refs argument. That’s such a fucking copout.
Two things can be true: (1) The 49ers were the better team and (2) The Chiefs took advantage of the opportunities given to them and won.
Luck didn’t cause CMC to fumble, it didn’t lead to multiple stalled drives in the 3rd quarter, it didn’t prevent our OL from blocking while Aiyuk was wide ass open, and it certainly didn’t force us to receive the ball in OT.
One dudes ankle touching a ball and Greenlaw’s tendon snapping, yup
It was both. We definitely drew the short end of the stick with that one in a million ankle muff and the very strange Greenlaw injury (he was containing Kelce pretty well).
Chiefs also made some very good plays and our OL were (literally) making stuff up as they go. Mahomes solidified himself as one of the best ever and we continue our drought.
Eh basically, once Greenlaw went down the recipe to win kinda went out the window. Chiefs offense ran free once Dre was gone and you’re not going to beat Mahomes and Reid with some benchwarmer guarding Travis kelce.
We score a TD in OT, Chiefs desperation results in an INT on the ensuing drive and we win. The minute we kicked a FG, i knew it was over based on the gameflow.
It’s not bad luck when the 49ers consistently neglect OL.
It’s not bad luck when you target your slowest WR 11 times in M2M coverage when you have a Man beater in Ayuik and Kittle right there.
It’s not bad luck when you call inside runs over and over and over and over when the outside tosses are working.
It’s not bad luck. It was bad coaching.
Ya the bad luck of playing the Chiefs in the Superbowl.
