I'd definitely have to say Eddie losing the team/handing it over to Denise & John York. That is the most unfortunate/negative thing to happen to our organization. F**k you Yorks!

it has to be eddie d. we went from league darlings and having influence in league circles to the exact opposite under the yorks. conversely the pats before robert kraft were like us with the yorks, got a better owner, the team got better and boom now they're the leagues darlings.
Losing the Superbowl followed closely by the Eddie D departure for me.

Eddie D. deciding that it was good idea to invest in Riverboat gambling with questionable people.

This is exactly what occurred to me as well.
Without question it's Eddie D losing the team. He was the best owner in the league. Everything starts from up top. Yeah, we made same bad front office decisions at the end of his ownership, but I have no doubt he would have righted the ship very quickly. He was all about hiring the best, most talented people possible and EVERYTHING in the organization had to be first class.

The lore of the niners ended that trafic day the York family took over.
What about Joe Montana? It surely wasn't a popular decision at the time.

But i guess the Harbaugh fanclub will probably win this one.

A case could be made to put the Montana trade on there. It disheartened many fans.

Yeah he still had some juice left, especially in the clutchness department.
Denise York is the devil incarnate.
