:-) Tayshaun Gipson says Mahomes "is just regular, bro, and we're going to make his a$$ look regular." The same guy who dropped an easy INT in the NFCCG a few years back.
49ers lack of respect for Patrick Mahomes - shocking!!! But they changed their tune. pic.twitter.com/6cx0mrdYeq
I get the reaction to Gipson, but it's not like he was saying that stuff at the podium or to the fans. He was just trying to hype his guys up. It didn't work, but I don't blame him for saying it. [Reply]
I was listening to KNBR on the drive home and one fool calls and it went on a rant lighting up the coach blaming him for not going for it on fourth down, knowing that Mahomes is on the other side and lighting him up for taking the ball first etc. yada yada yada what a bunch of pussies [Reply]

It was absurd and moronic to give Mahomes an extra down to beat you. When you go first on offense you give the other team an extra down to accomplish the same thing. [Reply]

While true, it's not as clear-cut as everyone's acting like it is. Everyone's using logic based on college rules, which works to some extent, but in the NFL's version, it becomes sudden death after both teams have touched the ball. So, for example, if the 9ers kicked a FG and they held the Chiefs to a FG, the 9ers would just need one more FG to win it.
We don't have any historical data to get a feel for the actual probabilities, but it's likely gonna be somewhere between 40-60% probabilities for either approach. I still think kicking is the way to go, but it's not the 30-70% variation people are acting like it is. [Reply]

I agree you are stating facts but....
Giving Mahomes the ball with a chance to win the SB with a TD is not factored into those stats. Playoff Mahomes is a totally different beast and have no idea how you can factor in "Playoff Mahomes" into a number or percentage? But, I know I'd put my money on Playoff Mahomes. [Reply]

If you have 4 plays to score you are more likely to score than if you only have 3. That's just common sense. You don't need statistics to tell you that. [Reply]

Another factor is Mahomes had said after the game they were going for 2 if they got a TD, eliminating the benefit of three possessions in the SF gets a TD first scenario. Imagine how intense that would have been. Crazy to think about [Reply]
