This is what I meant about Shanahan...

jimmy g's last pick spooked him. happy to go into the half tied knowing they are getting the ball in the 2nd half.  A turnover down there before the half could cost them the game. 

Up 8 vs Patriots.. In field goal range after a circus catch by Julio.. decides he wants more yards instead of 3 runs that would chew up clock and kick likely the dagger FG to seal Superbowl..

Shanahan doesn't trust his QB.  Quite simply, far more faith in his defense

Defense prevails and win games. It was the right call given jimmy’s atrocious pick. You’re trippin my dude 

Dude why u tripping...Shanny played it right...You have Mahomes on the other side with all 3 timeouts...You run the ball on 1st down and play conservative..if they had gotten a 8-9 yard play..they most likely open up the playbook....If Andy called a time out after 1st down run..they would throw on 2nd down and try and score...

chiefs will not be going for it every 4th down. This game should be 10-3 at the half. They won’t be taking risks like that going into the 2h. It speaks volumes when Shanahan doesn’t even call a time out with 3 left. 

I dont agree with this argument but it is a case for him not calling the timeout. With the kick from the 50 yard line if the ball is downed at the 1 or 2 yard line then what....  

It shows the coach have no confidence in the QB ! I’m so surprised that Andy Reid is more aggressive than him .

The fact that the 9ers D get them the ball back but the coach doesn’t even want to take a 3 or 7 points lead into the half makes me scratching my head . His father is a way better coach than him .

The fact they threw the ball in 3rd and 2 is being aggressive.....

When you have a chance to take the lead but you want to play conservative and runs out the clock in the tie game with so much time left ....... it will come back and bite . You expect your D to stop PM every time ? You must be kidding me . 

I have the 9ers and I’m not happy at all . 

im on the niners and loved it.
