Why couldn't the 49ers block Chris Jones and the other Kansas City rushers on 3rd and long when everyone in the building knew that Kansas City would blitz in that situation? Has modern football given up on the draw play and the screen pass? Anything to counter the blitz would have been effective, instead the Niners lost on all of the third and long situations, I believe.
I agree with Mark, the baseball playoffs need to be shortened. The nonsense about getting half the teams into the playoffs so they can make more TV money hasn't worked, too often one of the division winners loses early, one round of playoffs and into the series is enough.
The problem with the baseball playoffs isn’t that they are confusing - it’s that they are interminable and (because of the short-term randomness of the game) often eliminate the best teams. And the overtime rules in football were confusing only because they were new, but at least to me they seem fairer and more rational than the old rules.

Good questions. They usually throw their share of screens.
I thought the first TD scored wins the game in OT? Lol 😝
Good work. OC Shanahan for Atlanta had a terrible 2nd half vs The Pats, blowing a high lead. Run the ball Kyle.
One of your best, Mark!
You complain that baseball playoffs are confusing but not about the OT rules in football which apparently nearly everyone doesn't know or understand?
