49ers defense were playing great and making plays. But Mahomes figured them out like he always does and overcame the leaky pass protection for the win.
Some people just can't be happy with anything- pathetic.

I'm not as angry as you, but this is my perspective as well.
Sometimes great play is manifested in perservering through great pressure.
Mahomes wasn't playing poorly, he was facing a well structured and disciplined defense. So instead of just letting fly and relying on mistakes to simply be there on the defense, he/they had to start picking and probing and stressing the structure.
It's kind of like free-solo mountain climbing. In the moment, there might look like a lot of waiting and resting and trying shit that doesn't work great, but so long as you don't actually fall off the mountain you're still in the fight, and when you finally reach the summit the evidence is in that you're a badass climber.
Being a champion isn't always about making it look easy. Sometimes it's winning even when it looks messy and hard.
