I guarantee you the BMore planned to run. A lot. The Chiefs made them change that plan.

I don't think you can say that you planned to run a lot, and only attempt 8 rushes in the entire game, especially in such a low scoring contest. They even disregarded running the ball on 3rd and short, getting Lamar popped in the process.
If this is what happened, tgat Harbaugh blinked after just 2 possessions, then it almost has to be a fireable offense for Harbaugh, to flat give up on the overwhelming strength of his team, and ask his qb to do something he's just not built to do, and that is be a one dimensional dropback passer for the entire game.
That's a tall task for elite throwers of the football, to have success based on passing attack with no support from the run.
A guy like Lamar, just no shot.
