Lions hold on for the win after being up 21-0 7 minutes into the game....their defence is bad, really need Gardner-Johnston back, Houston as well....Once Ragnow was hurt the run game kinda stopped dead in it's tracks as well....
Right amount of tuddies so far. Wrong team.9ers are favored (last I read 1.5 pts) against the Iggles and the refs at the Linc. I got the Iggles 35, 9ers 24, with the 9ers committing +8 penalties, at least 5 of them resulting in automatic first downs. The Iggles will maybe get 2 penalties called of the 5 yard variety, encroachment or false starts. Who ya got?
Their meat is very easy to cut with a hot knife. My Washington team cut their defensive innards up...but they also destroyed Washington's D in retaliation....Not shocked the Niners won but I am a little surprised how poorly Philly played.
Jumped over to Carolina vs Tampa ... it was more exciting!
No rain, no pain. The weather was what I was worried about the most and thank God it didn't play a role. That first quarter was shaky, not going to lie, and had me spooked but the Niners pulled it back together. Solid win.
Why Kyle will never win a Super Bowl.Yea I was really concerned when they didn't give CMC the ball at all in the 1st quarter. WTF?!! Shanahan trying to outthink himself. Was glad to see they went back to their bread & butter running to the left on Williams' side.
Yep.. I was like wow, just pack it up because I don't understand what is(was) happening. I mean I know the first series for every game for every team is almost always 100% scripted to see how the D reacts, but I was extremely concerned what was going on, on the field.Yea I was really concerned when they didn't give CMC the ball at all in the 1st quarter.

Unfortunately, there is some truth to this statement. Kyle is arguably one of the best head coaches in the league (easily top 5 imo) but he likes to make things too complicated and too cute for no reason. Just too "smart" for his own good at times. The dude is constantly trying to play 3D chess that it sometimes leads to oddball decision making, as if he's trying to reverse psychology his opponent but then doesn't make adjustments as a result.Why Kyle will never win a Super Bowl.
Well, there could be the excuse of not wanting to put a new concept onto film for a game that would "really matter" between them in the playoffs.Yep..

This and sometimes he's too conservative. He's gotten better this year, but man, he sometimes just doesn't trust his team . Clearly he trusts Purdy a lot more than he did Jimmy.Unfortunately, there is some truth to this statement.

Yeah, the conservative play calling after setting up a lead bothered me a lot in the past. Every Niners fan knows it, too. I'm glad they kept the foot on the gas last night, because the only way the enire Niners offensive playbook remains open is if they aren't playing from behind.This and sometimes he's too conservative.

Except that Kyle bizarrely put the 2020 Super Bowl on Jimmy's shoulders with a ten point 4th quarter lead to protect. He's so much smarter than everyone else, he has to outsmart himself just to stay interested. Is he really too conservative? You usually hear that about the Mike McCarthys, not the younger wunderkinds taking over the NFL.This and sometimes he's too conservative.

They are missing him, look at Sam's stats, he's been putting up some good stats, granted he's throwing from behind and the team generally sucks, but usually when that is the case the QB isn't throwing for as many yards as he is.Except that Kyle bizarrely put the 2020 Super Bowl on Jimmy's shoulders with a ten point 4th quarter lead to protect.

They're now the betting favorites for obvious reasons, but with over a month left+playoffs, it's still a crap shoot with numerous contenders.
Something is definitely weird in KC this season, are they missing Eric Bieniemy?
Matt Nagy is not Bieniemy. He was in command of bad Bears football and it appears his taint is real.Except that Kyle bizarrely put the 2020 Super Bowl on Jimmy's shoulders with a ten point 4th quarter lead to protect.
