Whinerfan is a salty bitch this morning......

So... the Niners blew it once again... to the Chiefs... with a lead in the 4th quarter. Great job Kyle.

Too many missed opportunities to bury Taylor Swift's team (and her disgusting Barbie Squad) in the first half, and even into the third quarter. Great job Kyle.

Aside from the one trick play with Jennings throwing to McCaffrey for the TD, it was like watching an offense from the 70's. With a supposed "offensive mastermind" at the helm. Great Job Kyle.

Like Marv Levy, a good coach who led the Bills to four consecutive SB appearances (1990-1993) and lost all of them, Kyle is destined to always and forever fall short. And he will always do so in a manner that is excruciating for fans to witness - always "almost", always "just short", always "if only..."

Call it sour grapes if you want. Call me a fair-weather friend if you want. Results are results. If Kyle couldn't get it done with the most talented roster in the league this year (and probably one of the most stacked ever), why is there any reason to think he can do it next year with less? And after that... the window closes. Purdy will need to be paid after next. Too many stars will age-out or leave for a paycheck that the 49er's can no longer afford. This year was it, and it was squandered yet again.

Welcome to the Marv Levy era in San Francisco, folks.Is ratface going to write a song like Marv though? Levy was multi talented.

Marv Levy went to four straight. That in itself is an accomplishment of sorts. They're still losers, but they're special losers.

The 49ers aren't special losers. They don't get to be Marv Levy. They're just plain losers.

[Why Not?]

It seems every decade or so, there is at least one or a couple coaches (just like QBs) who can't ever get over the hump. Bud Grant, Levy, Reeves, Marty, etc. It appears KS is next on that list. The one thing he has going for him is age. It's possible his career can outlast Andy and even Patrick. Maybe he becomes kinda the next Andy and wins one with a different team in the late 2030s.

49ers Twitter is a bitter bunch. They even are going off on Elway lol

About ten years ago, I was invited to hear Marc Levy give a talk and then Q&A about the tenets of leadership. He did a fine job and I enjoyed it…for the most part. Afterward I approached him and let him know appreciated his presentation and then I told him I was a lifelong Chiefs fan and remember those teams with Art Still, etc. as a young boy. He didn’t even make eye contact or acknowledge my comment and quickly broke away.

Whatever, Marv.

In the end RatJr and Purdy vs Reid and Mahomes is always going to be a mismatch.
