Per NFL Rumors, Wilks fired

[BillsWest]

Per ProFootball Rumors, the 49ers have fired Steve Wilks DC.   I guess KC will do that to you!  I think the final outcome would have been different if Dre Greenlaw doesn't tear his achilles.

He coached scared, can't do that against KC.

[Logic]

Given his connections to Sean McDermott and the fact that he was unable to stop the Kansas City Chiefs in the biggest game of the year, he feels like a perfect fit for the Bills.

There was an instance during the final drive where Romo made an observation that Shanahan called timeout because he didn't like Wilks's aggressive call.

That 2nd 14 in overtime when he had all his Defensive backs standing 10yds off the Wrs that was classic Mcd defense in critical situations.

Then Shanahan needs to be fired.  You put Spags asDC of SF and they best the crap out of KC.  The man comes at you relentlessly.

100%

[Old Coot]

Wilks had KC's number in the first half: KC scored zero points.

 

Maybe the firing is related to the fact that Wilks' called D on the last play did not account for KC's Corndog / Tom & Jerry play. KC had shown thta play earlier in the game & the 49ers defensed it well.

[T.E.]

He held KC to fewer than 20 points in regulation, and that was after one of his best players suffered possibly the most inopportune freak injury in NFL history. Seems harsh.

He conceded the FG attempt at the end of regulation in order to avoid giving up a huge TD. It was exactly what McD did at the end of the 13 seconds game.

Lol was he calling the offensive plays in the second half or the red zone offensive plays in OT?  Shanahan is a moron.

What's even more ridiculous is the Chiefs were one of the worst teams in the league in big plays on offense. They barely hit any bombs this season.

Will be curious to see who they bring in to replace him with.  Insane amount of talent on that Defense 

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Official now. Though seriously, he did a darn good job holding KC to what they had considering how the offense pooped the bed in the second half.

I mean, you joke, but I would absolutely take him on staff if McDermott roped him in for a year as Assistant Head Coach.

I never would have realized that unless Romo mentioned it.

 

Very good observation by romo

[wppete]

Not surprised. With all that talent on defense they should’ve won that game. He called a bad game. 

[BuffaloRebound]

Whatever he had Bosa doing a majority of the game just chasing Pacheco across the field and giving Mahomes huge running lanes was idiotic.  Might’ve worked in 1st half but backfired in the 2nd half effectively  taking away bosa’s pass rush ability.

Pretty much where I am. 19 points? Against the Chiefs, the way they were playing us and the Ravens (two teams that were not supposed to be defensive pushovers)?

 

Hey, how did vaunted genius Kyle Shanahan do in terms of points vs the defense that Brady and Allen put up 24 on?

 

This is Shanahan covering his ass and picking a fall guy as everyone has to point out that he got blanked in the endzone repeatedly and got shut out of the 3rd quarter.

[NastyNateSoldiers]

Another example that the Mcd philosophy schemes doesn't work !

No he didn't. His defense stopped Mahomes multiple times while Kyle's offense was stuck in neutral failing to remember they had Christian effing McCaffrey to hand it to. Then the special teams screwed up and handed the Chiefs a score. 

 

I am not a huge Steve Wilkes fan. I didn't like that hire to start with. But his defense was not the problem on Sunday.
