Biggest Takeaways from 2022 NFL Free Agency

In this week’s “4-Down Territory,” Kyle Madson of Niners Wire and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire discuss:
Kyle Shanahan had more at stake – more to lose – than anybody else in this Super Bowl. And he lost. In the biggest game of the season. And once again, he had a huge lead that he and his team ultimately squandered. What does this say about Shanahan in an overall sense? Where are we with him historically at this point? 
Conversely, where are we with Andy Reid? All of a sudden, he’s not just a first-ballot Hall of Famer; he’s now the engineer of one of the true dynasties in pro football history? 
The other greatness discussion we have to have at this point relates to one Patrick Lavon Mahomes II. Are we now talking about the greatest quarterback we’ve ever seen? And if not, what’s the argument against it? 
Where do both of these teams go from here?

Super Bowl LVIII Picks and Predictions | 49ers vs Chiefs | 4 Down Territory

In this week’s “4-Down Territory,” Kyle Madson of Niners Wire and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire discuss:
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell will be pilloried all offseason long for his two failed fourth-down conversion attempts in his team’s 34-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game. Should he be? 
The Baltimore Ravens looked just about unbeatable as they started their AFC Championship contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Three hours later, the Ravens were out in a 17-10 loss, and the Chiefs were headed to their fourth Super Bowl in the last five years. What did this tell us about the Ravens? 
Kyle Shanahan now has the opportunity to erase his postseason demons and beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl as he couldn’t in Super Bowl LIV. Why will he be able to do that, if he’s able to do that?
