A good draft (some changes need to be made) and being active in free agency will allow us to be competitive again next year.

The silver lining is the Niners can manage with more pedestrian offense linemen. I think Trent will play for another 3 years so we don't need to rush out and find a replacement. This will allow us to focus on other areas such as TE, WR, pass rusher, linebacker and FS.

Another silver lining is we may have found a massive upgrade at Safety in Sigle. Sigle played lights out against the Eagles. I'll be very surprised if he isn't the starter next year. Bet we draft a FS which just may send Brown and Mustafa to backup roles.
Wonder if we can convert Mustafa to a linebacker?

at least the hated team representing the NFC in the Super Bowl won't be using the Niners practice facility and locker room

The media is going to clown on the Vikings and call the Patriots frauds throughout the offseason just as much as praising Seattle so there's that.

NE suffered from the same thing SF did. An absolutely cake schedule. Team wasn't nearly as impressive as the record.

Check our strength of schedule again. And we went 13-6 with a MASH unit

You just saying stuff to say stuff now without any quantifiable evidence
49ers had a top 5 slate degree of difficulty slate of opponents this year. The league flips every year and who was strong last year won't always be as strong the next year

They give away another Lombardi every season, and everyone is 0-0 again.
