LOL at Kyle Shanahan. The Ringer says multiple 49’ers players did not know the NFL playoff OT rules were different.

Does it really matter if the players know?

You definitely want defense first in the new scenario.

I don’t disagree on who should have been out first..I'm saying does it matter if

That’s fair, it just seems like an odd thing for the players to not know.

The captain needs to know since he is the one choosing what to do. Though I guess the coach could say, "hey, we want to

Unless the captain is making decisions on his own, I can’t see how it does.

At first I thought taking the ball 1st made more sense because you’d get the

Yes. The 4 down decision making changes an entire drive.

I don't see any chance at all they punt on that 4th and 1. But still.

3rd possession, not a 2nd OT. The game is played by all the same normal rules

Going 2nd always better, you know what you NEED to have

What if you're in that Bills-Chiefs situation where neither team could stop the

I don't see the first scoring team going for 2 in that scenario. . I do see the

Which is exactly why Shanahan said he wanted the ball first

Plus an offensive turnover by SF would have ended the game. KC could win on

There is no second OT

Yeah, in this case the 3rd possession is essentially 2nd ot

I didn’t like it. I also thought kicking a fg was a bad move. Especially after

Likely, if KC had the ball first and everything played out how it did

There is a decent chance because if they didn't get it a fg and game is over.

It’s not a bad mindset. Basically you say, we’ll take ball. We score and then

But: Niners don’t score, chiefs don’t score. Next score wins and Niners w Ball

Or for that matter chiefs match whatever Niners did. Next score wins.

Feb 12, 7:34am

Chiefs would have gone for 2 if it was touchdowns, which you almost need to

Methusaleh22

Feb 12, 7:37am

And if the Niners had notched 8 pts on their opening possession?

Corn Pop

Feb 12, 7:41am

No way you can go for 2 on the first possession. The offset of course is making

Unless there is almost no time left. Wonder what the Chiefs would have done

They were only in the first quarter of OT.

oh yeah, I see that now. My bad. So the clock didn't really matter.

The Chiefs said Hardman didn't know the game was over when he scored. Apparently

49ers should have gone for TD in OT for the win. Kicking FG was stupid.
