You know when they start yapping when it's over, they don't really have confidence in themselves. Think Luka commented that same shit in NBA recently about the Suns or smth.

2024-02-13 19:49:56 +0000 UTCAlso I see your point. If u could just get her to override her coaches some and have your daughter say to a couple team mates pre game, "If your man slides to me go back door, Tina u crash right behind, both of u be ready.."
Russ
2024-02-13 17:33:15 +0000 UTCOK All the Best of luck to you and your daughter. You got to go...

2024-02-13 17:05:13 +0000 UTCAbout the Super Bowl, I was there and didn't even know how Greenlaw got hurt, so much harder to see the details when you are at the game. Of course it would have been epic if we won but it was crushing to lose in that way. My takeaway is if u look back on past Superbowls how many times has the clearly better QB lost the game? I'll bet it's very few. The crowd was definitely pro Niners, a lot of guys took their wives and the girls ended up doing the Aisle pageant for the entire game. One 23 year old girl from our group started counting trips for our section and she had over 8 girls making more than 10 aisle runs. They stay out for about 15-20 min. each run. What a total waste of a massive ticket price, they all stayed seated for the half time show she noticed.. Goes to show the lengths we go to to get some.

2024-02-13 17:02:33 +0000 UTCshe tired of my voice when it comes to hoops at this point. She is a coaches kid and the youngest of 3, so she doesn't go off script.. not an alpha. the problem is the coach is a "we do what we do" philosophy and it has become super predictable. She won region player of year last night. will see if they make adjustment in tonight's playoff game

2024-02-13 16:56:14 +0000 UTCAlch, have you tried telling your daughter that you trust her judgement and what does she think will counteract the double teams? Start the conversation that way. Unfortunate when her coaches don't seem to know the counters. She may also be feeling a lot of pressure knowing how into her hoops you are, that can be hard for kids. I know when I was playing in high school, I didn't want my Dad coming to the games, because he would focus on whatever I wasn't doing well, my friends would focus on what I was doing well, a hell of a lot more fun just listening to your friends at that age.

2024-02-13 16:51:56 +0000 UTCChiefs and Mahomes gotta be the closest thing to warriors and Steph in this modern sports era. The inevitability just gives you that dread. Give them a chance and they’re taking the game away. I understand why everyone hates the warriors so much now 😂 not fun being on this side. Raiders fan pulling hard for the niners bc fuck the chiefs but man… can’t even hate on them at this point
Luke Zhang
2024-02-13 01:30:54 +0000 UTCFor real, this helps. Thanks Alch. This was the right move, we don't need to re-live it

Athletic Alchemy
2024-02-12 23:00:35 +0000 UTCI know I cant! thats whats annoying tho. Remeber this is our youngest of 3. It gets old always having to yield right or wrong
Athletic Alchemy
2024-02-12 22:36:14 +0000 UTCHAHA Alc you gotta go to the kid's game bro, you can't treat a teenager like you're a teenager too haha
Major Powers
2024-02-12 22:18:08 +0000 UTCUnderstandable that you want to stay away from football and dabble with more varied basketball content going forward. As a non-warriors fan, I enjoy your takes on other teams in your longer form podcasts.

2024-02-12 22:13:35 +0000 UTCBetween this Niner loss and Warriors loss in 2016 (73 win season). Which one hurts more?
Erin Laskey
2024-02-12 21:46:51 +0000 UTCThats a great point about Purdy and Kyle, Not sure thats in Kyle to allow that tho. Didn' know about the toe but GK didnt look right from the start.
Athletic Alchemy
2024-02-12 21:34:34 +0000 UTCnah its cool I shared it with yall. I will go
Athletic Alchemy
2024-02-12 21:32:40 +0000 UTCfor sure, just speaking from personal experience

2024-02-12 21:31:41 +0000 UTCThe 49ers won't win until the owner does right by C.K.

2024-02-12 20:25:08 +0000 UTCBeing non-American, I didn't really have a pick either way. Was mainly a SF fan due to you talking about them. Would have been happy if Purdy got the chip but I'm also happy that Mahomes got to add to his legacy
Christopher Fong
2024-02-12 20:10:54 +0000 UTCThat’s true but 2 wrongs don’t make a right.. id rather not quabble over Alchs personal matters though

2024-02-12 19:47:09 +0000 UTCyea I'm thinking it also hurts extra bad when you don't listen to your parent and realize later that they were right lol

2024-02-12 19:43:48 +0000 UTCwe're gonna draft a DE and you're gonna like it :'(
Abhi Kelkar
2024-02-12 19:41:46 +0000 UTCAll good on the no breakdown, was pissed off that all the bars in SF still had coverage on after we lost. Honestly, the team played as well as you coulda hoped for a big game, the Chiefs just made more plays than we did. No ref shenanigans for the most part and cheeky foul-baiting by Mahomes which was nice. Kyle seems like he's on the Reid train where he can't get over the hump...hopefully he does in SF or we move on at some point.
Abhi Kelkar
2024-02-12 19:41:07 +0000 UTCHey alch not really a football guy but I just hope you can get to your daughters’ game regardless of how the last few weeks have been. You know they at that age where they believe they know more than the parent lol. One love sorry for the 49ers loss

2024-02-12 19:39:40 +0000 UTC100% best comparison. Once mahomes got the ball back for the last possession, i knew it was inevitable, but i literally dropped to the floor when i saw that last throw for an untouched TD.

2024-02-12 19:33:03 +0000 UTCIt was one of the most draining 5 hours of my entire life... You don't need to do the breakdown Alch its all good. At the end of the day, you just need to come back to the fact that its just a game, only our fandom has been shattered. I still enjoy analyzing the game of football just for the fact that it's so complex. My takeaways from the game are: 1. Kyle got outcoached once again, too many free hitters zeroing in on Brock and plays taking too long to develop. The one time he had a check-down to CMC, he gained like 20+ yards. Both their safeties played 10 yards deep, not respecting our ability to take a deep shot. Kittle was taken out and they trusted their corners to play 1v1 vs Aiyuk & Deebo. Mad respect to KC's starting corners DcDuffie and Snead, arguably the best CB duo in the game. 2. Kittle had a toe injury after the Detroit game, I don't think it was ever fully healed. I also think practicing on that soggy field at UNLV did us no favors, may have been a factor for that Greenlaw injury and Deebo injury. 3. You mentioned not sticking with the run game, that early CMC fumbled probably made him second-guess himself. 4. Way too many self-inflicted wounds throughout the game, from the CMC fumble to the muffed punt and all the false start penalties stalling out drives. Their best players performed while ours did not. Finally, I still believe in Brock but the only way for him to evolve as a player is for Kyle to put more trust into his ability to alter plays at the line of scrimmage. The only options he have are a) "Oscar", which is to flip the play (ex. run left to run right), or b) "Kill", which is to switch to an alternate backup play. That's not enough options for Purdy, especially if there's a blitz and free runners are coming in. He needs to have the ability to call a check-down. Maybe Purdy needs to grow a pair and stand up to Kyle. Tell him to his face that this shit ain't working. Kyle needs to be challenged, its the only for him to get over these mistakes. The pressure is only going to add for Kyle from here on out. It's not going to get any easier for him as a coach. Everyone knows he can perform in the regular season but its the playoffs where he consistently overthinks every decision. Until he proves he can win the big game, the doubts on his decision-making will forever remain.

2024-02-12 19:30:24 +0000 UTCI feel like it's a bit of therapy to be able to speak about our emotions on it, like you did, and for us to listen, because all us niner fans are in the same boat. Completely agree that breaking the game down just can't happen, it would just make things feel worse.

2024-02-12 19:28:23 +0000 UTC🙏🏽 very well said.. doesn’t feel like a time to point fingers
Athletic Alchemy
2024-02-12 19:17:26 +0000 UTCAppreciate you, Alch. And don't blame you at all for wanting to keep the Niners separate from this job. I've got such an emotional hangover rn. As disappointed & sick about the result as I am, I just want to give some love to the team for battling so hard. There were many maddening mistakes but they gave KC a dogfight. Zero desire to point fingers right now, just commiserate and hope the hurt guys can completely heal up.
Karim Q
2024-02-12 19:15:49 +0000 UTCI ended up watching. To your point about it being a job vs being a fan. I think it's been easier to cover Warriors failures in the post season because we've already reached the top several times. Those wins carry us.. just the fact that football is such a different sport, and the niners still not able to get back to the top. The way the game played out and literally coming to within a stopping a single possession of winning it all. Aging players and the adjustments that other teams will make next season. I fear that we won't see the niners back here for decades.

2024-02-12 19:15:35 +0000 UTCit was the equivalent of losing game 7 in OT at the buzzer
Athletic Alchemy
2024-02-12 19:12:54 +0000 UTCappreciate that you understand
Athletic Alchemy
2024-02-12 19:12:32 +0000 UTCJones ate our lunch that entire game. And that last play of the Niners' drive McKivitz isn't even blocking anybody! how does that happen?
warrior4life
2024-02-12 19:12:17 +0000 UTCso have I! lol but I felt like owed yall at the very least my thoughts
Athletic Alchemy
2024-02-12 19:11:35 +0000 UTCNeed to build up a better o-line for Purdy. Probably my biggest takeaway from this one
Karim Q
2024-02-12 19:08:25 +0000 UTCNot wanting to make a job out of both your fav teams is so fair dude. Makes sense. Would love some analysis on other matchups around the league like you do the dubs

2024-02-12 19:05:29 +0000 UTCMade mistakes - but I can't blame a dynasty for taking advantage of it.

2024-02-12 19:01:19 +0000 UTCThe most devastating and heartbreaking sports loss I’ve ever experienced. Somehow even worse than the 2016 finals for me personally
