Mahomes being down ten points in these playoffs is the equivalent of a normal quarterback being tied.Mike Sando@SandoNFL
Opposing Tier 1 QB is common denominator for Kyle Shanahan teams losing double-digit leads in 4Qs of Super Bowls.Michael Giardi@MikeGiardi
Hell of a win by KC. Mahomes gets his first. Andy Reid gets his first. That’s gonna be one hell of a party/parade in KC.Sigmund Bloom@SigmundBloom
Shanahan not managing the clock to give Garoppolo a chance to compose a drive at the end of the first half and not going for extending the drive on 4th and 2 up 7 the real difference in this one. Kyle the reason they are there but the reason they lostNick Wagoner@nwagoner
That should do it. Williams breaks a touchdown run to make it 30-20 Chiefs with 1:12 to go. #49ers going to come up short in #SuperBowl.ESPN Stats & Info@ESPNStatsInfo

First time I’ve ever seen Mahomes “feel” the rushes. On a consistent basis the rush, whether it’s getting home or not-is affecting him and his throws/feel in pocket…He’s feeling rush every snap. Whether there or not

Patrick Mahomes has thrown multiple INT in a game for the first time since Week 11, 2018 vs the Rams, when he threw 3 INT in a 54-51 loss.His last game with multiple INT was 440 days ago.

This is your 2nd-annual reminder that being a 24-year-old QB in the Super Bowl is not easy.Also your 19th reminder that this Niners’ defense is relentless.

That play right there is why I hate the 9’ers.. Jimmy running, doesn’t get out of bounds, and gets rocked. Their whole team, including Shanny, acted like he was done dirty…With 9:30 left, these entitled bitches deserve a heartbreaking loss.

The @49ers are carving up the @Chiefs with quicks, screens and creative play-actions. Shanahan puts completions on a platter for his QB1.Bucky Brooks@BuckyBrooks
Nice INT by NO.54. The @49ers have taken away the deep ball and made No.15 play connect the dots from the pocket. Most QBs are disciplined enough to repeatedly take check-downs. That’s why defensive coaches urge their defenders to stay back and wait for the QB to force one.==

Three things stand out most from first half:1) Kyle seemed to lose trust in Jimmy G after INT, cost team scoring opp at end of half
2) Reid playcalling isn’t giving Mahomes special abilities a chance to influence game
3) KC D can’t stop SF O

Don’t be confused by the TD pass. Kyle Shanahan did a masterful job protecting Jimmy G on that drive. Was run HEEEEAAAVVY & the physicality of them 49ers overwhelmed the Chiefs.Nick Wagoner@nwagoner

@ESPNStatsInfoSigmund Bloom@SigmundBloom
The Chiefs have the sudden change turnover, but the score is tied, the game is almost half over and their defense is on skates. Reid needs to playcall with “TD or bust” mindset from here on out

Three rushes for 49ers backs after going for 288 last week. Be who you areBucky Brooks@BuckyBrooks
There’s a reason why the @49ers have kept Jimmy G on a “pitch count” throughout the playoffs. The more he throws, the more the turnovers pop up for SF. The magic number is 30.NFL Research@NFLResearch
Jimmy Garoppolo joins Colin Kaepernick as the only #49ers quarterbacks to throw an interception in a #SuperBowl.Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Steve Young started a combined 5 Super Bowls for the 49ers and never threw an interception.

Jimmy Garoppolo now has 2 INTs on 34 passing attempts in the playoffs, a rate of 5.9%That 5.9% INT rate is more than a point higher than Jameis Winston’s NFL-leading INT% of 4.8 this year

The #49ers are on the board first with a field goal.Since 2010, the team that scores first is 8-1 in the #SuperBowl.
The 2016 Falcons, who lost to the Patriots after leading 28-3 in the 3rd quarter, are the lone exception … and Kyle Shanahan was their offensive coordinator.
znModeratorWhy in the world did so many teams pass on him. His talent just looks UnGodly. And Obvious. Was he different in college?
When he came out he was seen as this wild Air Raid offense qb who needed a lot of work. Which he got–Reid benched him for a year. So what you’re seeing is not just Mahomes, it’s Mahomes plus a redshirt year of Reid’s coaching.
Happens. Marino fell in his draft year too.
Here’s a typical description of him from his draft year:
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/patrick-mahomes?id=2558125
WEAKNESSES Can be inconsistent in his approach. Needs to play inside the offense and show more discipline. Too eager to go big game hunting. Ravenous appetite for the explosive play can also bring unwanted trouble. Willingness to default to playground style appears to limit his ability to get into a consistent rhythm. Needs to improve anticipatory reads and learn to take what the defense gives him. Decision making can go from good to bad in a moment’s notice. Operates from a narrow base and allows his upper body and arm to race ahead of his feet. Has a dip and wind-up in his standard release. Explosive delivery and follow-through causes some throws to sail. Needs better touch on intermediate and deep balls. Carries ball a little low in the pocket. Impatient. Will leave pocket prematurely rather than standing in and winning in rhythm. Better as a scrambler than pure runner. Looked a little less mobile in the open field this season.
DRAFT PROJECTION Round 1-2
SOURCES TELL US “He’s got a great arm, big balls and he’s mobile. He is going to drive his head coach crazy for the first couple of years and there is no getting around that. If it clicks for him and he’s coachable, I think he could become a special quarterback.” – NFC executive
NFL COMPARISON Jay Cutler
BOTTOM LINE Mahomes is a big, confident quarterback who brings a variety of physical tools to the party, but he’s developed some bad habits and doesn’t have a very repeatable process as a passer. Mahomes’ ability to improvise and extend plays can lead to big plays for his offense, but he will have to prove he can operate with better anticipation and be willing to take what the defense gives him in order to win from the pocket. Mahomes will be a work in progress, but he’s a high ceiling, low floor prospect.

A combined 28 players on the Chiefs and 49ers rosters entered the league as undrafted free agents. Too slow, too small, not strong enough, etc.Today, they’ll play for a Super Bowl trophy.
It is not how you enter the league, but what you do with your chance that matters most.

Around The NFL@AroundTheNFL
Super Bowl LIV’s nearly upon us, but 30 teams already have begun the effort to reach Tampa a year from now for Super Bowl LV. @greggrosenthal supplies one thing each NFC team can do to supplant the 49ers as conference champions.LOS ANGELES RAMS: Hope that Brandon Staley is the next Sean McVay.
I have more faith than most that McVay will come up with some counter moves to resuscitate the Rams’ offense, even with plenty of offensive line questions hanging over the team. The bigger X-factor for L.A.’s 2020 season is new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. If you haven’t heard of him, you are not alone. Staley was coaching in Division III only three years ago, before learning under Vic Fangio. At 37, Staley is actually three years older than his new boss. But they have a lot of similarities, considering their meteoric career climbs and the awed tones they engender at every stop, including during the interview process. Staley’s first NFL coordinator gig doesn’t figure to be easy because the Rams’ defense could be in transition, with key starters Cory Littleton, Michael Brockers and Dante Fowler Jr. all headed to free agency and safety Eric Weddle’s future uncertain. In Staley, McVay hopes to have found a jolt of energy and schematic advantage like he himself brought the team’s offense back in 2017.
