It is not like Buckner. Buckner comes up with ball, game goes into extra innings. Lynch was for the win or loss and it was straightforward. One bad decision/execution.
As a Sox fan, Buckner was 4th in line. McNamara pulled Clemens before 8th. He left Schiraldi in for 10th after he had already blown game once and there was 2 run lead. He then put in Stanley with guys on. Stanley threw ball to backstop causing the tie. Then Buckner blew it but had it not been for McNamara, Schiraldi and Stanley doing things just as bad or worse directly prior, not an issue.
Yeah. 49ers lost in OT to the Chiefs after having 3 starters go out of the game and Kittle played hurt from 4min to go in the 4th quarter. Trent Williams replacement blew a blocking assignment and let Chris Jones through clean on what should have been a winning TD. That doesn’t even count losing Purdy AND his backup against the Eagles the previous playoffs.
