Maybe...maybe not.
Examples:
1)
On the first Sunday in February, as the San Francisco 49ers were in the middle of blowing a lead in the Super Bowl, a small group of doctors in the Bay Area was too busy to care about a football game.
2)
The 49ers were 7:13 away from being crowned world champions. Holding the Chiefs’ powerful offense to a measly 10 points through the first 53 minutes of Super Bowl 54, San Francisco was a stop on 3rd-and-forever away from putting the game out of reach for good. The NFL’s best pass defense, with a pass rush that had harassed Patrick Mahomes all night and a secondary that had picked him off twice, surely wasn’t going to be beaten in that situation.
Well, you know what happened next… Tyreek Hill found himself wide open for a 44-yard reception that sparked a 21-0 run for the Chiefs — and gave Kansas City its first Super Bowl title in five decades. Lucky break or bad defense?
3)
Suffice to say, the 49ers’ collapse was a team-wide phenomenon Sunday. Through three quarters, they were the team they were all season. And then things crumbled in the fourth quarter against an outmatched Chiefs team struggling to keep their head above water. Who’s to blame for this collapse?
There were too many mistakes, variables and people involved for all the blame to fall on one individual. But that’s what the 49ers will have to sift through this offseason as they look to get back to the Super Bowl next year.
4)
One of the first questions that always arises whenever a team loses a championship game is "Who?".
As in who should be the focus of the blame for the loss? That has been the main topic of discussion when trying to decipher what went wrong for the 49ers in their Super Bowl collapse to the Chiefs. Who is it that should be at the forefront when pointing the finger as to why the 49ers gave up a 20-10 lead?
Everything that needed to go wrong for the 49ers became reality. To say that Shanahan or one facet of the team is responsible would be incredibly unfair.
