Chris Sims makes some excellent points here...some credit must be given to KC's D but of course the Niner fans will never admit that the Chiefs' D is any good even after coming up with critical stops in the 4th quarter. How about Chris Jones' batting down some passes near line of scrimmage after being prevented from penetrating the pocket? Weren't they good plays?
49ers turned one dimensional and afraid mid third quarter...they were killing it with the run first approach. I dont think KC's defense was great, I think the 49ers lost their game plan and their QB is not confident enough to take over under pressure.
I also think the 49er defensive secondary was playing way too far off the ball and made it easy for the Chiefs to score points as they did. Playing 7-10 yards off the receiver was a horrible decision yet they did it for most of the second half.
I commented in a thread earlier this week that the 49er defense had not faced teams that tested them enough in the passing game to tell if they were top tier or not and we saw that with the game on the line they could not get enough stops in the second half.
I couldnt believe they were playing 7-10 yards off AND not blitzing, you cant play soft zone and also not blitz...all he had to do is improvise and avoid the initial rush and the receivers were just standing alone over and over and over. I also got sick of listening to Aikman be a jinx the whole game..so many times he would yack about how the Chiefs hadnt been converting a 3rd down all game and they get it or how Mahomes hadnt connected with a route and defensive matchup, he goes and does just that. Aikman just forces strong opinions every down and I forgot how annoying he is to listen to.
I dont know why the 49ers refused to play tight initial coverage from that 5 yards and in area in the second half. When the Chiefs were down 10 I made the comment that the game was far from over and likely benefited them because they would have to be more aggressive and pass more and they did that the rest of the game and the 49ers had no answer and no coverage with awful tackling.

Shanny is to blame....last 20 something plays 16 was throwing plays and like only 6-8 run plays what does that tell u?plus before the first half ended why the hell did the Niners not call a time out wit 1min and change left? They had enuf timeouts still? Shanny was really bad at managing this game before both half ended...
You guys act like all that SF needed to do was hand the ball off but several times the KC D either stopped the Niner runners for minimal gains or for losses...some of those passes that Jimmy G missed were short 6 to 10 yard passes that even he can make.
Of course it would never occur to you to now admit that the KC D is better than you thought it was cause your egos couldn't stand to admit that your take was flawed from the very beginning. 
Your conclusions of from what has transpired are not valid.

I wouldn’t put much stock in this “winning percentages” haha that percentage is based on pure numbers. Especially in a do or die game against one of the highest powered offenses the league has seen in awhile. KC D stepped up big time. 10 point deficit isn’t much for an offense like that once they grab momentum
