2.  Don't want to undermine Arizona's win today because Murray was (obviously) the difference in the game.  BUT, once again, Kyle Shanahan blows a game and no one calls him on it (at least that I have heard in post-game chatter).  It happened at the end of the 1H.  You have two timeouts left and something like a minute left on the clock.  You are deep in AZ's territory.  You have to run the ball there.  Burn clock or at least make AZ burn a timeout or two (all they had).  Nope.  Dude is in love with his pass play schemes and that ego once again reared its ugly head to overcome the smart play (see first Seahawks game last year in OT; also think he blew the 2nd and 5 call in the Super Bowl in Q4 - run the ball there . . . 3 times if necessary).  But instead, Shanahan reverts to passes; incomplete; stopped clock; After the 'Niners' Chippie FG, AZ has just enough time to get into long FG range (burning both timeouts in the process) and score 3 points.  NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!  It's so freaking basic; yet this guy has a blind spot for EOG and EOH clock management.  He really needs a sanity check guy on the headsets.

Wait, are you suggesting he should have turtled like Shaw?
