    I’ve already seen the game through time displacement (we get that in Maine sometimes). But I don’t want to give anything away.

    Still, I do have to say that using Mahomes as a pass rusher was a very bold strategy.

    49ers up 10 to zip.    Pretty dull, so far.

    Not really watching. I’m kind of in and out on the game. But KC has been shooting its own foot off. 5 fumbles, 1 lost, 1 INT. Yet, they now lead w/ SF in a position to tie it.

    And we have an overtime super bowl.

    Sper bowl overtime rules work this way (in just someone doesn’t know). If a team scores on its first possession in OT the other team has a chance to score as well. If the 2nd team scores and it is tied, it becomes sudden death.

    Chefs win.

    Chefs cooked up a better meal than the 49ers. In spite of 6 fumbles (1 lost) and an INT.

    9ers lost 2 fumbles.

    Highlights in a bit.

    I  am pretty sure that this is the first time I’ve been happy about losing hundreds of dollars.

    from https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2024-02-09/49ers-traded-christian-mccaffrey-outbid-rams

    LAS VEGAS — Christian McCaffrey will play for the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday — partly because the 49ers did not want the star running back to play for the Rams.

    Jed York, the 49ers chief operating officer, last week told Bay Area reporters that although the cost of acquiring McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers in a 2022 trade was steep, the 49ers had to make the move.

    The 49ers gave up second-, third- and fourth-round draft picks in the 2023 draft and a fifth-round pick this year. Coach Kyle Shanahan apparently needed convincing from York and general manager John Lynch that although McCaffrey was not a quarterback or pass rusher, the cost was worth it.

    “And collectively,” York said, “it was, ‘Do you want him to go to L.A.? This is where we are.’”

    So the Rams got the next best thing to McCaffrey for a 5th round pick.

    OTOH, the Rams picked A. J. Arcuri with the next-to-last pick. The last pick was Brock Purdy.

    Me, too.

    My next door neighbor throws a big SB party every year. He has 3 big screens, a bar, a pool table (with the Broncos logo in the center of the felt).

    I’ve been invited, but never gone until yesterday. Two years ago, the Rams were in it, so there was no way I was going to watch the game with a mass of people who didn’t really care, and last year I was unable to watch the game at all.

    I went this year, and there were around 50 people, 45 of whom were wearing 9ers jerseys.

    I appreciated the end of that game, I must say.

    His name is Colton McKivitz.

    He let Chris Jones go by untouched as he turns to block…nobody at all.

    That guy is my favorite 49er right now. I also like McCloud, who fumbled the punt.

    My favorite Chiefs player is whoever blocked that extra point.

    I wonder if he thought 64 was staying in place instead of pulling? But then 64 seems to be the only 9er who has the defender on the outside?

    Either way, if I were an NFL head coach, I would stress this key point: always block Chris Jones. Not just in the redzone in overtime with the game on the line in the super bowl. Always.

    Good lord.  49er fans have to be wretched, and inconsolable.

    I had it Chiefs 24-21.

    I believed the 49ers had the better collection of players in volume and system but the Chiefs had superior key players who, if the game remained close, improvise/adapt/overcome.

    EG. Chris Jones was on call for pressure when absolutely necessary. It has been that way for much of his career. Uncanny.

    And while, I’d like to say this game was a statement that coaches who adapt to their players more than force the player to adapt to their system are superior, I am not sure that’s 100% true.

    I will say that I prefer it despite admiring what Shanahan and Lynch have built.

    Jason Cole@JasonCole62
    I don’t get the criticism of this decision. I want the ball first. Do you really think deferring is going to impact how the Chiefs approach the situation? Plus, it’s legitimate to be worried about your young QB, even though Purdy generally played a fine game

    Rams Fans United@RamsFansUnited
    So the team that won in the trenches lost to the team with the better QB? That’s weird…

    Shoutout to @PatrickMahomes for eviscerating the asinine notion that you can’t win a Super Bowl with a QB on a big contract the last two seasons.

    He literally had the largest cap hit in the league this year at $37M.

    People saying Mahomes is the exception/outlier forgot that Stafford won it two years ago and Brady the year before that so it’s been 5 years since a QB on a rookie contract won it and that was…Mahomes.

    You know what’s REALLY hard?

    Winning Super Bowls without a star QB.

    Nick Wagoner@nwagoner
    If you want to quibble with Kyle Shanahan’s decision to take the ball first in OT, no problem. Can see both sides of that.

    But way too much being made of some players not knowing the new rules. Does that in any way change the idea that they should try to score a touchdown and stop the opponent from doing so? Not even a little bit.

    Bucky Brooks@BuckyBrooks
    Cleveland and KC were willing to play man coverage vs. SF. Man eliminates the layups (WR screens) and forces the QB to make tight window throws. Most coaches are scared off by the motions and shifts, but opting for sticky coverage w/some pressure makes life tougher for the play caller and QB.

    Kurt Warner@kurt13warner
    No doubt PM2 played great down the stretch & deserved MVP, but if I had to choose someone else for award after watching the tape back it was #TrentMcDuffie, he dominated the WRs of SF (all SF DBs out physical-ed the 49ers & was why they won IMO)!!!

    Dan Orlovsky@danorlovsky7
    Chiefs faced Nos. 2, 3, 4 & 6 offenses in the playoffs, which combined to average 28.3 PPG this season.

    Averaged 15.8 vs KC in the playoffs. Spags shaved off 12.5 points of 4 of best offenses in NFL

    All time playoff run defensively
