I’ll give Shanahan some grace. He’s brought that team to three NFCCGs in four years. If he ever wins a Super Bowl I think he’ll finally get respect as a top 5-8 coach.

But that's a big "if". Shanahan has done nothing in his SB appearances but shit the bed (1x as an OC and 1x as a HC).
Hard to kill him over yesterday but I bet he'd love to have thrown the challenge flag on the Smith play and since he is so involved with the offensive game plan, you would think he had to be aware that they had a play early on in the game where the design was to let their 2nd string TE block one of the season's best outside pass rushers 1 v 1, which led directly to Purdy being knocked out. Also, why the **** is he having CMC (an at worst top 5 non QB in the league) throwing passes down 20 something with 4 minutes left in the game? Can you imagine if McCaffrey suffered a bad injury that messed with his '23 season on that play? Just dumb.
