So when the 49ers had 3rd and long on us- they lined up on the first down marker attempting to keep it all in front. They blitzed or rushed 5 to take away Mahomes time back there and they shut us down several times with that strategy. Yes, Mahomes burned them too because he has a huge arm.
Sutton didn't defend the line of scrimmage like that at all. Face it, we are dead last in points allowed and giving up yards at a record pace. Sutton deserves to shoulder this- it is his job!

Actually, the DPI in the end zone that gave the Chiefs the ball at the 1 was exactly this kind of play and the 49ers let a Chiefs receiver get behind them, so they had to hold.
That's a player issue, not a coaching issue. Every coach on that sideline said "don't let anybody get behind you" and that's exactly what the players went ahead and did. The game announcers even said as much, they saw it too.
When it's 3rd and 25, you don't freaking blitz. You drop 7 or 8 and keep everything in front of you. You depend on your PAID PROFESSIONALS to do their jobs.
We're just going to have to agree to disagree because there's zero chance of convincing me otherwise. I know what I'm seeing and it's not scheme, it's talent.
