But also, I do think it's worse than usual, and I think a big part of that is the elephant in the room:

Watching the Seahawks—who just completed a very quick rebuild—storm all the way to another Super Bowl win so easily in our stadium with so little resistance (aside from the Rams—ironically another division rival) probably broke this fanbase. Especially after watching this team get to 7 NFC Championships, 3 Super Bowls (including a 10-point mid-4th quarter lead and another lead in OT) and have zero rings to show for it. Meanwhile our hated rival just casually and coolly did it on their first try with no previous adversity aside from a wild card playoff loss to us in 2023. And all their obnoxious fans who can't even name their new QB got to enjoy a second SB win already.

The pessimism is a bit out of control, I agree. But I get it. I totally get it.

The Seahawks deserve the plaudits for being worthy champions last season, as much as it pains to admit it. But last year was a very unusual showing in the NFL, with a very poor crop of true title contenders. Pretty sure any of our previously Superbowl-threatening teams of recent years would have strolled through last seasons teams just like the Seahawks did. They got a bit lucky in that respect. Not to nullify their achievement though - they showed up when nobody else did.

It always takes some luck to win when you're facing teams that are as good or better than you. You need to get a few breaks on the field and avoid injuries. A call that goes your way at a key moment. It can mean the difference between winning and losing in a close game.

Thanks Madden.

You're welcome. Hey I know that might seem obvious but reading some of the posts makes me wonder. They want every free agent that's good and every draft pick that's a stud. Then they want to win the SB every year. All nice thoughts but the real world isn't as easy as that. Some fans seem to forget that.

Thanks for the input but you are dead wrong , Super Bowl should be the goal every season for the San Francisco 49ers, anything other than that is accepting mediocrity like glynch does

That's different. Having a goal of winning is fine. Expecting it and criticizing everyone involved when thye don't win is silly.

That's fair—my apologies for being a bit snarky. You seem pretty cool.

No need to apologize. Were all just a bunch of knuckleheads expressing our thoughts.

Crosby to the Ravens for 2x1sts. Steep price but maybe worth it. The Raiders would never trade with us anyway.

Mods posting this here because I have a habit of blaming Lynch for inaction. Feel free to move to the breaking NFL news.

The Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to trade star pass rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in a blockbuster deal just before free agency begins, league sources tell The Athletic.

Fire glynch now

2 firsts for a 29 year old DE, no thank you. glad it wasn't us

Yeah that just seems a lot, I hope they add someone like a Jonathan Greenard.

What do you want them to do? Offer 3 1st's for a 29yr old EDGE? We got outbid, it is what it is, plus I doubt the Raiders would have dealt him to us anyway, just because Al Davis isn't alive and with them doesn't mean his son would just deal with us.

Agreed, and people don't realize that you need the cap room to acquire him, you can't acquire him and then redo his deal without having the cap room to make a deal, and is salary is nearly all of our current cap room, and the only players we can restructure or extend for significant cap room are Bosa, Trent, & Brock, everyone else has the minimum base salary or lower base salary, the only players we actually save cap room by cutting right now would be Huff, Brendel, Winters, & Brown, everyone else either costs us cap room or saves little cap room, like $1M or $500K, and that doesn't take into account that a player on the roster not counting against the top 51 replaces the player released, do it's not really savings at all.

Please do this!! JJ is going to get top dollar elsewhere so, snag Doubs and draft a couple

So in order to beat the ravens offere we'd have to offer 3 firsts?? Considering their #14 to our #27 has a helluva lot more value.

Your hatred is blinding you.

I'm hoping the 9ers make one of these trades to pair with Franklin-Myers. If they added those two, 9ers wouldn't be last in sacks again!!!
