Yeah going 0-9 in the first 9 games would break a lot of teams in ANY type of sports. Obviously it didn't break this team so I'm not sure where you're getting that from. The team actually got stronger mentally throughout the season. I swear some people are just trying too hard to find something to whine about.
The 49ers played better because they had nothing to lose. (besides getting Jimmy) Let's see how they perform in 2018 when they have high expectations.
Exactly, any other team would've folded with how poor they played in the beginning of the season. The 49ers didn't, which is the total opposite of not mentally tough, just saying. Yes, they had nothing to lose and didn't have to play for a playoff spot which could've lead to some of the players to slack a little and just play to get the season over with but they didn't, they played hard, tough, and played like a team that's fighting for a playoff spot. To me, that's a strong locker room that believed each other and the coaches with a very TOUGH MENTALITY. Next season will be very interesting.
