I want the Bills but it is hard to bet against Mahomes in the playoffs. Heck, Buffalo took the lead with like 17 seconds left a few years ago and KC still drove down and won somehow.


I hate betting against Mahomes also but the Bills are just a better team. More explosive offense, defense makes plays when it matters. I think the Bills may even knock off Baltimore but that I have a lot less conviction.

They have been circling this game for a few years now and finally get Mahomes at home. I think the Bills win by 10+

Someone makes a dumb statement, they deserve to have to face up to it. That includes you. Obviously you're unable to defend it any longer, so you lash out.

As far as the video, did you even watch it? The guy argues that the Patriots would've scored 28 points (as they did in the game). ATL would've had 28 points, if not for his imaginary scenario where their kicker hits a 50+ yard field goal to give them a 31-28 victory. Read my posts and stop making me have to explain things to you. Or don't, and just learn each time you say something lame and have me have to point it out in public.


50+ yard field goal is hardly something that is out of ordinary in an NFL game. Even if you had a point you are saying Shanahan's play calling was just as good or nearly as good as kneeling , that is just shameful thing to defend lmao.

Nobody has time to deal with your emotional imbalance for hours on end lol, you are the only person that lashed out about anything thread was quite peaceful before you started to get mad at imaginery calls for Shanahan's firing ahahaha

Oh yea, the Falcons clearly blew it, but can anyone name the DC of that Falcons team? Scoring 28 points on Belichick and the Patriots in the SB is the sign of doing your job as an OC, and then some. Yet the narrative became Shanahan blowing it, despite him making 90% good play calls in the game and then seeing a few guys make dumb individual plays that cost the team. No one talks about the defense giving up super easy TDs in quick succession.

In context of this recent discussion, I'm addressing the person who wants to categorize Shanahan as a bad coach who can't manage the clock and wants him gone because he thinks it'd be better in SF without him than with him. I have to take time to point out that Shanahan has won more games than any HC the last four years, next to Andy Reid, and brought a team from the worst in the league to perennially one of the best.

And yet people want to claim that he doesn't know how to manage the clock. Even the so-called 49ers fan I'm arguing with here doesnt' seem to remember the many, many games we've won where the clock had to be managed while we were ahead and had a super shaky Jimmy G at QB, and the 49ers won.

Sorry, but I see so many 49ers fans like this and its always ridiculous what arguments and lack of appreciation they bring.

I just think the Chiefs have the Bills' number but hopefully being at home changes that up for them.

Manning had to get past Brady both times to get his 2 Super Bowl rings.

All fans seem to hate their coach. Both coaches from last nights game were high quality coaches. You never make all perfect calls. I thought Lafleur should have kicked the FG early, but he went for it. Some GB fans are saying it's his fault they lost. But what if they make it? It was awfully close and maybe a bad sport.

Buddy, you gotta read better. The play calls were almost entirely good. The individuals making bad plays or committing penalties was the issue.

And no, expecting a 50+ yard field to go through in the Super Bowl is not "ordinary"?

Over the past 10 years, kickers have made just 66.7 of their field goal attempts from beyond 40 yards in the Super Bowl. There's so much pressure in the Super Bowl that every kick over 40 yards is basically a crapshoot.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/kicking-at-the-super-bowl-why-trying-a-field-goal-in-the-nfls-biggest-game-is-almost-always-a-gamble/

Over 50 yard field goals are super rare.

Like I said, I'm happy to point out the flaws in your poorly made points again and again. The best way to avoid it is to not make bad points and then argue them over and over. Just swallow your pride, admit you said something wrong when the evidence is presented, and move on.

Lol @ his calls were correct; they researched that game a million times. If the Falcons just ran the ball straight into traffic or even kneeled after 28-3, they would have won the game. He is known for snafus because he messed up twice on the biggest stage. You can talk about how he got them there, but in the end, he messed up with his time management, and he'll live with this until he wins the Super Bowl.


;ab_channel=FivePointsVids

Wrong again. This video above goes through if ATL had just kneeled on every play. The guy makes an assumption that ATL kicker would make a 50 yd field goal, which would win ATL the game 31-28, but it shows NE coming back to tie the game and put them in OT (just like the SB).

Of course, it is ridiculous to not expect your players to do basic, normal things rather than hold and make dumb plays. ATL had the best offense in the NFL that season and their 28 points were a testament to how good the offense was and how good Shanahan was play calling.

Again, focus on the defense giving up 28 points in a half. That lost ATL the Super Bowl, not the offense. Or just keep hating on Shanahan. It's clear you are not a fan. Just be sure not to revel in his victories and the team he's built. You don't deeserve it.

There is a very large gap between 'he should be criticized for some of his decisions' and 'he should be fired.' You got your blood pressure up for no reason just because you think he is a deity that should not be criticized. Right now, yes, I want him around because I still believe he can win it all. But I look for progress. If this team is stuck in NFC title games for years to come, I would want to bring in someone else who can take the team over the top.


Nope, I hate stupid arguments from people who can't control their emotions when watching a game and start lashing out in every direction. It's typical internet fan behavior. Tell me, how many times this year have you wanted Brock Purdy replaced?

You have no loyalty or long term vision, its just how you feel in the moment and how you want things changed instantly without any undestanding of what you are talking about. Just hate, hate, hate, running on emotion. Absolutely awful traits. I bet you are a Grant Cohn reader, aren't you?

You remind me of the Dak Prescott truthers who kept saying 'but he took us to the playoffs.' want to win the whole thing, and I don't care who they win it with. I am a fan of the team, not the players on the field or coaches on the sidelines. If you follow the Niners just because you are a fan of Shanahan, you'll be with us temporarily; even the best coaches leave at some point.


There's a difference betwen making it to the playoffs and crapping out after one game and going to three straight NFC championship games. If you don't know the difference, you don't know football. Ironic too, as SF under Shanahan has been a big reason behind Dallas and Dak are considered fake contenders.

I'm a Shanahan fan because I've seen him bring us from probably the least talented team in the league, with constantly terrible coaches, to the most consistently great teams this side of Kansas City.

You don't deserve a coach like that. Not because Shanahan is above criticism, but because you don't realize the elite things he does to bring success to the team and joy to the fans. Get a grip on your emotions.


My dude..you have no shame talking about another person controlling their emotions after totally losing your **** over slight criticism of your coach, lmao just take your pills go back see how much time and brain cells you've lost past hour or so over something so insignificant. You even posted a video that defeats your own argument ahaha

Yeah, agreed. LaFleur is one of the best coaches in the league, but of course he's going to make mistakes. It's incredibly tough in real time to make the perfect call, and the standard should not be that they do it every time.

No problem for fans to criticize, but to want a coach fired while overlooking the preponderance of great things that a coach has done and focus on a few moments is bonkers. It's basically one of the worst and most selfish traits in "fandom" and a very poor sign of football intelligence.

I just think that needs to be pointed out when I see it, especially for someone who claims to be a fan of my team.

Nobody hates Shanahan lol he is just going on a tirade about things nobody said. Just like any other person in any other job coaches are not infallible and can be criticized when they **** things up. Saying my coach does everything correctly all the just makes you a sheeple who cant do an analysis of even the simplest things.

I think my guy spent like last 3 hours going on this tirade, that's unhealthy imo.

Why don't we try again? You go first. Give me your counterpoints against the many points I made which tear down what you were saying. Then when I have nothing to respond to, you can all me "low IQ." Sound good?

Okay, you're clearly very confused. There's unfortunately no way for me to try to help you understand any better by using logical concepts explained through the use of words. There's some basic elements of comprehension missing on your side, I'm sorry to say.

You can try to read what I wrote previously a few more times to try to get it. If it somehow finally comes to you, feel free to circle back and we'll try to continue our discussion.
