I don't think anyone disagrees that the defense essentially lost this game in the final two minutes. I think the point is that McVay had opportunities to keep the Niners from even having a chance but he didn't do it. He could have taken control. Make a sound "football" decision to run for the first on third and a yard or less. And at least TRY to pick up the first down by passing on 3rd and 7. If you don't make it punt like you did anyway, but his decisions to call those plays were not sound or putting his team in a good position offensively or defensively. Sure that 88 yard drive should NOT have happened and as another poster pointed out it was a 99.4 chance against the Niners converting that TD, but they did and here we are.
