The volume You don't championships. That should always be the expectation,
an go ahead. Welcome back to the Richard Sherman podcast.
Nyrons lose, Oh my God. An outstanding performance by a

(01:42):
number of guys. Christian McCaffrey played well, Brandon Ayu, huge
game by Jawan Jennings, the d line, the defense flying around,
but wasn't enough to send Patrick Mahomes home. That you
can't keep giving him chances. You can't have special teams
blood because Mitchell, if you do that, it's a chance

(02:04):
you're going home. And that's what happened.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, this is heartbreak, Richard. And this is not the
heartbreak you get over in a couple of days or
a few weeks. This is a heartbreak that sends you
to counseling, right, rich I mean, this one hurts. And
like you said, Richard, Patrick Mahomes is not the guy
you want to give multiple opportunities to. When you give
him opportunities, he's known to take advantage of him and

(02:29):
he did just that. This was a game that the
San Francisco forty nine ers, in my opinion, could have
easily had if they avoided those missed opportunities. Richard, where's
your head at? Where's your heart at? I know this
one hurts.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, No, I'm pretty good, you know, I feel good
about how everybody played. It's always the missed opportunities that
the Ray Ray McCleod punt return, watched recovery, you know,
is obviously going to be the story of the game.
You know, up to that point, Kansas City hadn't scored
a touchdown. Niners defense had just gotten another stop. That's

(03:05):
probably the biggest play early in that game. Later in
that game, they converted some passes, they converted some plays
in overtime, but you get a holding called on second
down that kind of sets you back, and then you
can't get the conversion on third down. You get to
fourth down, you kick the field gold and you can't

(03:25):
get my home stop. It's gonna be tough, but you
gotta give credit to Andy Reid and the Kansasity Chiefs,
the first back to back Super Bowl champ and over
twenty years, they did a great job. He played a
great game, even with the turnover to Jaiyra Brown early
in the game. He came back, managed the game, pushed

(03:45):
the ball down the field when he had to. So
you gotta get you gotta take your cap off to him.
I think Kyle called a good game. I think San
Francisco played a good game. But you just can't have
the special teams blunder. That's probably the difference in the game.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
One hundred percent because they had no momentum. I mean,
Kansas City, this game was boring rich. I mean, let's
just call it how it is. I mean, this game
was boring, and that's kudos to San Francisco. They made
it boring. Defensively, they controlled this game, and that punt
shifted momentum entirely. What was ten to nothing all of
a sudden swung to thirteen to ten, and all of

(04:21):
a sudden, Kansas City had life. And this is Patrick Mahomes.
This is what we talked about leading up to this game.
He is at Goliath, right, I mean, this guy controls
this league. There's no single more important player to the
NFL right now than Patrick Mahomes. And he does it
again when he thought they were down and out when

(04:43):
Marquez Veldez Scantling didn't go down after he got hit
and waddled back for another eight yard loss. When that
possession and overtime kicked off, to that degree, it didn't matter.
Mahomes was Mahomes and they pulled out the w Richard,
we got to start talking more about his legacy. I
know we touched on it leading up to this game,

(05:04):
but this is wildly impressive what he is doing. His
third Super Bowl in seven seasons. I mean, he's joining Brady,
He's Jordan Troy Aikman now. I mean he's the third
player with three Super Bowls and two MVPs Brady and Montana.
I mean, these are Hall of Fame, famed legends, and
this guy's not even thirty years old. Rich I mean,

(05:25):
when does is stop?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I don't know, Mitchell, you don't see any end of
the tunnel. You don't see any end in sight. He's
playing well. They've done this despite trading away one of
the best receivers in the National Football League. They've won
two Super Bowls since they traded him away, and he
played really well in this game. He got the ball

(05:47):
to his playmakers, he got it to Travis when he
needed to overcame the mistakes, overcame the pressure from San
Francisco's defensive line. I think, you know, Steve Wilks will
probably want some of those calls back, But you got
to give Spags a lot of credit. He called a
good game. I think it's just that special team to play.
I mean, we'll have to go through the tape. I'm

(06:08):
sure there's a ton of missed opportunities in there, but
that's the glaring one because they had no momentum, they
had no offensive rhythm, and you give them six points,
seven points and get them back in the game. And
it's a play where you're like, that's pretty avoidable. You
know that you hit it, then Ray Ray McLeod, you
have a chance to just fall on the ball and
get to the next play, but instead you try to

(06:30):
run in traffic. Just just a bad mistake that may
have cost the Niners the game. Obviously, there's so many
other players that happened in the anterim, but that was
what changed the momentum and gave Kansas City a chance
that gave him life. No question, You're right, and Patrick Mahomes'
legacy is incredible. Three super Bowl wins. He's three out

(06:51):
of four in Super Bowls. He's won three of his
four Super Bowls. He's been to four in the last
five years. Mitchell. This is the dynasty. They've won three
Super Bowls in the last five years. He's gonna be remembered.
He's working himself onto the Mount Rushmore of the National
Football League if he continues on this face, Mitchell, because

(07:13):
I don't see a guy stopping him. You know, obviously,
they'll have to run into San Francisco again. I think
Baltimore is gonna be pretty good next year. We'll see
how Harball does with the Chargers, but he's not going anywhere.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
He's not and he's done it with a team that, frankly,
everyone counted out the way through the season. And that's
this one to me, for Patrick Mahomes is the most
impressive one because he did it with a team that
I think objectively a lot of folks thought they were
not going to get here, and here they are again.
Richard Andy Reid is a fifth coach to win three

(09:03):
plus Super Bowls. I mean, this guy has got a
Hall of Fame resume that he's just adding to a
year after year after year. At the other side of
the field. Kyle Shanahan now suffers two Super Bowl losses.
In OT one is the OC with the Falcons, now
with the forty nine ers. Richard, this ot played out quick.

(09:26):
Is there anything you would do differently if you were
Kyle Shanahan. I know we're playing Sunday night quarterback after
the Super Bowl, But Richard, would you take the ball
in that situation as opposed to you know, kicking it
and deferring it and getting yourself, you know, at least
a glimpse at what you have to achieve.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
No, No, I think he made the right decision. The
defense was exhausted. They needed a break. They had just
come off the field long drive getting a stop in
regulation to get them to overtime. They needed a break.
So he made the right decision there. You just got
to find a way to get the end zone. I mean,
you can second guess everything, but I think he made

(10:07):
the right call on third down. They just didn't pick
up the pressure and give Brock enough time to hit
Juwan Jennings because he got opened. They you know, it
was good play, It was a good call. You gotta
give him the time to do it. And Spag deserves
a ton of credit for making calling that pressure, getting
pressure on him in that situation. But I just think again,

(10:29):
it just the glaring thing is the special team play.
That is the thing that changed the complexity of the game, because,
like you said, it was boring, it was predictable, and
you see San Francisco getting stop after stop and then
you get give them the ball on the I don't know,
sixteen yard line or so, and they go in and

(10:50):
score a touchdown, and now the game has totally changed.
They have the league and everybody's shell shot. So I
don't know. I look forward to watching the tape, but
it was a great game. Kansas City has on their way.
They should be really happy. They're going to have another parade.
I'm just interested to hear what Kyle Shanahan and the

(11:11):
rest of those guys say. Got to be heartbreaking for him,
got to be heartbreaking for the staff to be that
close to it and not get it done well.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Richard. I mean, this game and we talked about we
had a good, good week in Las Vegas. I know
everyone did, and a lot of things were going as
we predicted they would. I mean, you were so right.
I mean, Chase Young was having his game. In the
first half, Jowan Jennings was doing his thing. The kicking
game put a huge factor in this. But this is heartbreak.

(11:42):
I mean, like we've talked about, this is this is
heartbreak at its core. Where do you go from here?
San Francisco forty nine Ers, This is a team that's
been on the cusp of achieving their ultimate goal, winning
a Super Bowl, but just cannot get over that hump?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Richard?

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Where does this team go from here to finally achieve
that goal?

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Mitchell, They got the team, you know. I think they
got the players. I think they got the coaches. You
just gotta be consistent. Obviously, you got to figure out
when green Law is going to be back. I'm sure
he's gonna be seeing neil Ela Troshum to try to
get that injury taken care of. But I think they

(12:24):
got everything in the building to get it done. They
were moments away, yards away from having a Super Bowl win.
So I don't think you reset and panic or anything,
but you gotta get back on the horse. You know,
it's gonna be a tough one to bounce back from.
I think guys just got to go through their process,
figure it out, and then get back on the grind,

(12:45):
you know, go back in motivating. But this is a
heartbreaking loss. This is a devastating for your psycheat and
I'm sure those guys felt like they deserve to win
this game, and they're gonna have to go battle back through,
get their minds right, and try not to have a
season like the Philadelphia Eagles had this year where you
just kind of fold down the stretch because you're kind

(13:07):
of mentally fatigued and still heartbroken from losing a game
the way you did. So they got to figure it
out and come back stronger.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
No question, Richard, We're gonna keep this one short and
sweet tonight. Unfortunately for our forty nine or faithful fans
that follow us, you know this one hurts. I am
a pseudo Niner fan. I am on your side. I
know this doesn't hurt as deeply to me as it
does to you, But I wanted this for you guys. Richard,

(13:39):
We're gonna have a hell of a lot more to
talk about going into this offseason. I will allow you
to sign us off. I know this is not what
you wanted, but I have a feeling, man, we're gonna
be talking about them more and more next year, Rich.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
No question, minch So this was a great season. Congratulations
to the Kansas City's chiefs. Was a fun season to watch.
Didn't turn out how we wanted it to, but you
can always get them next year. Appreciate you guys supporting it.
That sub button if you knew, see you next time.
