McCloud should've jumped on the ball to gain possession instead of trying to pick it up. How they fumble with gloves is beyond me.

49ers players admit they did not know overtime rules in Super Bowl loss to Chiefs
San Francisco’s decision to take the ball first in overtime during their Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs will be debated all offseasowww.theguardian.com
seems strange...
It is crazy to take the ball first in some ways. Taking it second means you have 4 downs to get the 10 yards. Obviously if the opposition score a touchdown there is more pressure but when you take possession first you almost cannot go for it on 4th down if you are still in your own half.
More proof as to why I say Shanahan is overrated and a deer in the headlights when the game is close.
And just as I said yesterday, Shannon Sharpe absolutely baked Shanahan this morning for throwing the ball twice as much as handing it off to CMC.
IMO, Shanahan v Reid was as much the deciding factor in the game as Mahomes was.
Shanahan is undeniably a deer in the headlights under pressure.

Yeh, apparently during a strecth in the 3rd they threw on 8 out of 9 plays.
I think everyone can get carried away with Mahomes, he's the greatest ever, he's possibly the best sportsman ever etc etc. It was only because of the 9ers decisions that he even got the opportunities he did to win the game.
That’s right. He went pass crazy. He went away from his number 1 offensive weapon - CMC running it.
And it’s not about yards per carry as it is also about 1) keeping Mahomes off the field and 2) causing mass indecision for the opposition defence who never know what you’re doing. And that’s what was happening in the first half. The Chiefs were all at sea when using CMC because it created short pass and slant holes.
But he went away from all that, became pass predictable, and it cost us a Super Bowl imo.
Horrendous enough for SEN to replay Wanker's boring commentary on this game. How many opportunities is this idiot given with this station.
I have not listened to one minute of kermit since the footy season finished. Haven't missed his sanctimonius ramblings
I had to laugh. They stuck him at the Tropicana for a few days in Vegas which is an old, run down dump of a hotel that’s at the southern end of the Strip and is slated for demolition to make way for the new baseball stadium. SEN short on bucks obviously.
He was complaining last week that Vegas wasn’t quite his town and thinly suggested that he wasn’t all that enthusiastic about the trip.
Knob of a bloke.
Too obvious. Why can't Crutchy just save the costs.....unless Wanker cries like a baby wanting everything in his hands. Why would anyone listen to non-American commentary on NFL games.
America continues to disgrace itself….

Video shows two onlookers chase and tackle someone, holding that person down until two police officers arrive.
I don’t think getting first or second possession is as clear cut as people make it. If both teams fg or td then next score wins which is then a huge advantage for getting it first (and third).
Clearly going second you know what you have to chase or beat. 2 point conversion on the cards too if first team goes TD.
Analytics say it’s a coin flip. Some folks are butt hurt.

The NFL’s playoff rules are close to perfect, and we need them in the regular season
The Super Bowl overtime discourse is missing a key point.

Good to see some samaritans attacking the prick.

Personally I think it's fraught if people want to rely on analytics too much. It's usually the loser justifying their decision by saying the analytics were on their side.

I reckon this will turn out to be connected to the MAGA Taylor swift conspiracy - which apparently 20% of Americans believe and Joe Biden poked fun at after Chiefs won.
America is at civil war IMO
horrible.
Australia need to work hard not to follow this path.
imagine 8 kids getting shot at our GF parade.
uphold truth, be kind.
Yep there are average outcomes and then also the likelihood of a specific play working or not and a whole butterfly effect thing in terms of a sequence of plays.
So yes analytics has some subjectivity to it but there is also a whole criticism that happens on play calling / draft pick selecting when you already know an outcome.
It has that poker feel to me where you can be 90% going into the flop and then your opposition lucks out and you are screwed after you went all in already. Your 90% call is technically the right one but you still lost. If you play the thing 100 you will probably win 90 - but you don’t get to.
The big difference is in poker the situation is always the same. The odds are the odds. The cards do not care who holds them. In the NFL, no two situations are the same. Different teams, different venues, different weather conditions. You cannot use analytics the same way.
