hold opponent to, at most, whatever we scored. If we do that, it’s sudden death and we get the ball first.

Either approach is defensible, I wouldn’t beat up Shanahan for how he approached it.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
