49ers: Stupid Kyle Shanahan is incensed at the SB referees for their hypocrisy. Chiefs were given
Super Bowl 58, which was played inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday night ended in one of the most devastating overtime losses you will ever witness for head coach Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers. In this one, Shanahan’s team got off to a great start, racing to a 10-0 lead. However, in the end, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense took it to the next level, winning in overtime and taking the souls of 49ers fans everywhere with them.
Now, a recently discovered video of Shanahan—who graciously wore a microphone for the game—reveals that the 49ers coach was not exactly pleased with the officiating that was taking place inside Allegiant Stadium.
Hey, I noticed the hold, but they always act in that manner. They grasp, tug, and release our guy when Pat walks away. According to the video, which was provided by Coach Yac on X, the social media site that was formerly known as Twitter, Shanahan stated at one point, “That’s what our guy did, make sure they call it both ways.”
Anyway, since taking over as coach, Kyle Shanahan has overseen three different Super Bowl blowouts with leads of ten points or more, including the inaugural 49ers vs. Chiefs contest in 2019–2020. Recently, Shanahan made the contentious decision to fire defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, leaving San Francisco with more questions than answers for the upcoming offseason.

In Super Bowl 58, 49ers star George Kittle’s mic’d up joke may have cost San Francisco a fumble.
Tight end George Kittle and the San Francisco 49ers suffered a devastating overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58 on Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, bringing an end to their heartbreaking season. Despite being one of the most dominant offensive teams all season, Kittle had an incredibly quiet game by his high standards against the Chiefs defense, and the 49ers as a whole struggled to generate much offense.
It’s now being revealed in a recently discovered video that George Kittle’s underwhelming performance wasn’t the only thing that cost his team dearly in the Super Bowl. Kittle consented to be mic’d up for the game, which meant that a microphone would record all of his interactions with both the opposition and his teammates. At one point,
Kittle even struck up a conversation with Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis.
Karlaftis was the first to notice a loose ball on the field behind the two, and he eventually dove on it to give Kansas City possession. That was the only issue. Even if Kittle had seen the ball first, there’s no guarantee he would have recovered it, so it was still a pretty bad look for one of the smartest players in the game.
