I like Romo...and it seems like no matter who the personality is, and whether they are on radio or TV....lots of folks think they suck. It's just built into the job.
Is it really possible the Niners didn't know the new OT rules?

It was odd. Chris Jones, when asked, said they had gone over it several times in the 2 weeks leading up to the game. They even planned for their 2 point conversion he said if both teams got TDs
Ive got zero problem with Nance and Romo. Normally announcers are too dramatic. That works on radio. These two are pretty good
I disagree with that totally. It was random. It happens. Yes it totally changed the game I should have listed that as one of the main factors in the loss.
They had stopped the run pretty good but #23 touching the ball 2 times in the 3rd quarter is unacceptable. Look what happened later it he game. He was wearing them out totally.
Yes. It randomly hit the guys foot. He was blocking it's not like he can see it coming.
I don't fault the guy at all for it.
Why was he a goofball. He ran on the field, and it popped. Could have happened at any time. It's not like he was doing stupid crap when it happened.
It is a lot of "ifs", but per Shanahan, that was his reasoning. Right or wrong.
If he holds KC to a FG or if SF had scored a TD, then it comes off as a smart move.
I was gogin to reply to you and didnt. It left it in the reply to someone else. Sorry
Yes, pretty much. Although if the Bills weren't too freaking stupid to just tackle Tyreek Hill at the line of scrimmage and eat the penalty yardage, that game never gets to OT.
This is the way.
The probability of scoring no points or a field goal on any drive is way higher than the probability of scoring a TD.
Given that the third possession becomes sudden death, it was a good call.
Their defense didn't hold to a field goal so it didn't matter.
This is hardly news but I absolutely believe that Mahomes and the KC offense wore the 49er's defense completely out.
The 49ers are the real deal. Athletically gifted across the board, so I'm not sure the Chiefs belonged in the Superbowl.........but Andy Reid sure as hell belonged there.
Been saying for a while the Chiefs D is second best in the entire league...then tack on the worlds best QB, TE, and a great FG kicker plus oh yeah...Andy freaking Reid....not sure why so many loved the Niners in that game so much.
Niners were the better team. They were out coached. Andy is the man
Andy is the man...but the Chiefs were the better team and I have a scoreboard to point to, to prove it.
Lazy argument I’d expect from an iowa fan

In the new NFL playoff OT rules, you take the ball first with the intent to score a TD. Then if your opponent also scores a TD, you get first crack at sudden death victory.
It's much different than college OT, where you clearly want the other team to go first so you can see what is needed to match.
I am a big 49ers fan and I was very surprised they were favored in Vegas. They have now the best odds for next year already.
Any odds until week 4 of next year mean zero really though.How is it odd. Every team in the Super Bowl will do this . In a one game championship you cover all bases.
exactly. Any team that doesn't is just not coached well.
I wish they both would have scored to see if they actually would have gone for 2.
Are you sure? How how read it The captain that lost the coin flip had first choice in the second overtime unless the other team deferred. So I think KC would’ve had the choice in the 2nd OT. Maybe I read it wrong.
I thought I remember the team going first in college won a statistically higher % of games. Doesn't make sense but first team wins more.
Not how it works as I understand it. It's like going to the second quarter. That is why the Chiefs were not worried about the clock.
Basically a new game starts and plays on.
It looked to me like CMC was getting pretty worn down. He’s got a lot of heart, but he was taking a lot of punishment too. I definitely don’t think he was going to take over the game.
After each team gets a first possession, it goes to sudden death with the team who won the coin flip getting the ball. That is why Shanahan chose to take the ball first.

To be fair, Mecole Hardman said he didn’t realize initially that the game was over when he scored.
This is my understanding as well. If the Chiefs had only kicked a FG in OT and tied it, that would have ended the "each team gets a possession" part of the OT and it would have moved to the next-score-wins phase. I could be wrong but that's my interpretation.
They took ball bc their defense was just on field - needed rest- also if both teams score tds or fgs in OT then goes sudden death so they would have had advantage- it was bc they couldn’t put D back out there consecutively
Dumb and obviously didn’t work. I’d rather be down 7 and know I need a td.. then go for 2 to win the thing
Hardman is dumb but he’s somewhat useful
no dumber than the 9'rs taking the ball first in ot
could be not thinking about it made the catch easy like a practice
