Garappolo failing to recognize that Kittle was open and the 49ers settled for a field goal was costly, and there was the time when he missed Sanders down the middle (that said, I did not love the long bomb when the 49ers simply needed to move the chains or at least set up a fourth and short). The 49er defense wore down but but I felt they did a pretty good job of containing Mahomes. And now Shanahan will have to deal with the stink of having two offenses sputter in the fourth quarter.
Shanahan struck me as not quite ready for prime time compared to Reid. I thought the call on Kittle was marginal compared to what WASN'T being called during the game. KC's receivers were MUCH faster than our DBs. Our DBs were marginal, IMHO. KC was ready for our run offense. BOth our offense and defense got tired in the fourth quarter. I think Garoppolo will be a smarter, savvier quarterback because of this. At then end of the day, a 4-12 team last year finished 2nd in the NFL. I'll take that any day. I'm satisfied.
