Niners lost to a team who played better when it counted. They lost because no lead was going to be safe, but a 7-point halftime lead was never going to hold, when they should have had at least two more scores at that point. The lost because they went 110 real minutes between first downs. That third quarter was awful. It was offense yesterday, not defense. Well, except for two horrible series at the end. They held the Chiefs to a single touchdown on a short field after McCloud didn't fall on the ball. The defense came to play, but you can't give it to Mahomes with that kind of time twice. Kansas City made mistakes, but SF never made them pay. The Niners paid for all of their mistakes and were lucky to be in overtime. Mahomes was so locked on to Kittle that he missed the wide open game winning touchdown with 0:07 on the clock.

And to humor my wife, who invented new swear words for holding, the one holding call on Kittle's backup (legit call) negated a first down that would have taken the clock down maybe below Mahomes safety levels at the end of regulation. Of course the Chiefs could hug and tug guys all game long with impunity. 

They should have started the overtime on defense, but that's a coin flip and they still could have scored 6 and perhaps 7 (wild game for Moody) or stopped them. They had their chances - now it's 30 years and counting.....

They need to overhaul the offensive line.  Even Trent Williams was getting caved in all day.

Tough day across the street. (My office looks out on Levi's.)

Hope Shanahan isn't this century's Marv Levy.
