So so good that Lamar is going to win MVP with a lame-duck 10 point game in the AFC championship while Brock leads a historic NFC championship game comeback.
I'm hoping the defense shows up like that 1st series in the 3rd Q - you could see all the players selling out on that forced fumble. I'm really hoping to see that intensity going in on defense sustained. Do not let Chiefs Pacheco high-step parade.
I'm not calling for Shanahan's firing, but his clock management and specifically timeout usage is a failure. And I don't think anyone has warned him so. He will not think twice using his 2nd half timeouts early like halloween candy to kids. And meanwhile leave 3 timeouts on the clock in the 1st half. Rams McVeigh with exactly the same problem helped cost the Rams vs Lions. Your timeouts are the coaches tools to be used judiciously in the 1st half, and saved in the 2nd half. And corollaries to that, do not challenge in the 2nd half unless near certain of the outcome.. 1st hafl, go for 1 at least if presented and confident. And, do not use both challenges in the 1st half unnless near certain and able to pick up the 3rd challenge.
No, that's exaggeration, he's not some random guy in the stands - he might make it look that way, but he's certainly more athletic than average. His acceleration and change of direction alone look far above average. And willing to bet his strength too. And his arm strength is good enough compared to his peers.

The outcome is a recycle every year for the Ravens....that pick he threw in the endzone was coffins
Also while we're bucking the narrative about Purdy, I think he actually has a pretty tight wardrobe. Yeah it's not blingy but he's put together and could be a catalog model with his fits.
He's from SoCal and went to Standford - not a stretch. I think the 49ers treated him well despite injury towards end of his career, and he's repaying in spades.
Why are you exactly worried about the one timeout he used in 2nd half?
Look at the dynamics of the game and the situational football. When we called the timeout, the team had scored 17pts unanswered. The 49ers were rolling and the Lions couldn't do anything right on offense. The entire momentum was flipped to the 49ers. When Kyle used his timeout, the score was tied at 24-24 and the 9ers had the ball with 12:57 left in the 4th quarter on 2nd & 6 at the Lion's 23. It was a very important down and point in the game for the 49ers to take the lead. I have no issue with Shanahan calling a timeout here to get the right play in so we can make sure we come away this drive with points.
What in the world are you trying to save up the timeouts for? We weren't playing from behind anymore at that point. There's only 13mins left in the game. The 49ers have all the momentum in the world, and the Lions haven't been able to generate any type of offense. There's no reason for you to save your timeouts in a situation like this. If you're behind by 14pts, then yes, save the timeouts in case you need them to stop the clock in the last 2mins. But at this point in the game, we didn't need all 3 of them anymore.
I think you're seeing a problem that isn't really there. Kyle has never had poor clock management this season.
Kyle has only challenged 3 calls this year with none of them coming in the playoffs.. so that point doesn't really matter either.
Simple, you don't know the outcome of the game; always always assume you need it.

Thought this was funny. For those who aren't aware, the Babylon Bee is a parody news account (it is fake and done for humor).

Cam Newton is an idiot.
Cam just mad he hasn't been able to throw a football like Purdy in 10 years.
