And I will disagree with your 1% lol. Tampa playoff game last drive. 4th quarter NFCCG. 4th quarter SB. I think Kupp n Stafford were equally as large. I’d even say if we could , n we can’t lol, to go ask AD…….

I say let’s agree that all 3 players are the reason and then we can decide if McVay is included. He is included with me…….

That is fair . Without those 3 = no SB . I still think AD was a bit more important then those 2 . Mcvay can be included , he is a very good coach overall ( bad talent evaluator more often than not ) , but AD was just a CHEAT code , about a DOZEN HC is this league would be able to win a SB with AD ( best Defender of all time BY A MILE ) + Staff ( future HOF ) + KUpp ( triple crown winner ) + Miller AND Ramsey at their prime..etc..etc....

I don’t know how anyone could blame Shanahan for losing to the 2021 Rams or each Chiefs team. The Chiefs were simply better (much like the 2018 Patriots were better than the Rams). That was a Dynasty team. Similar to the Chiefs. Is anyone holding it against McVay that he didn’t win that game? Does it diminish his coaching prowess? Not in my mind


IIRC, the 49ers safety dropped a for sure INT that would have iced the game vs the Rams. How is that Shanahan’s fault?

agree and the knock he hasn't won the big one if obviously a fair assessment. I just think what he did this year was unreal. I don't think they will get past the 1st round but IMO that has nothing to do with him and his coaching philosophy. I just think they are so banged up it won't be a fair fight.
