Yeah but I am not wrong though. I guess the only comments accepted here are omg I f**king love my coach and various other vomit glaze.

Reality is..these guys have screwed up over and over. 4th and 1 against SEA was dumbs**t coaching..the game becomes to big for him...over and over.

Something has to change or we won't we a trophy for a good while. We won't win one with Purdy cause FO can't take care of him with a decent oline and dumbs**t calls.

Just reality.

You're not fully wrong, just mostly wrong. And it's your reality.

Lol you're so delusional. I guess I watched a completely different OL and team against Seattle the last two games. Crazy. The OL is and will be a major problem.

OL is an issue, who's disagreeing with that?

Walsh was great, but he didn't do it alone. Players on defense saved "him" from blowing both the 1981 NFC CG (Eric Wright) and SB XVI (Dan Bunz). Either those don't make those plays then The Catch means nothing.

(I put "him" in parenthesis because even if SF lost those games Walsh would hardly be solely to blame like some want to do with Shanahan).

Point is, coaches can only do so much to help or hurt their teams. We all know the plays not made by Shanahan's teams. Walsh was more fortunate early on so that people could look past his later games that he didn't get the ball bouncing his way or his players pulling through on key plays.

Just reality.

They live in a world where the Niners still "have the best roster in the NFL", "DC's around the league s**t their pants every time they have to play Kyle", "Lynch is a top-3 GM", "everyone wants to play or coach for Kyle", "other teams still have to catch up with us".

Delusion at its best.

Nobody says we have the best roster in NFL. DC's do s**t their pants when they have to go up against Kyle, many of them say that. Nobody says Lynch is a top three GM. And yes, a lot of players want to play for Kyle just like Mike Evans literally just said that.

Trolling at its best 🤡

Really?

Mcdonald and his DC looked very comfortable when they went up against Kyle.

🤡

Troll better

Yeah they were the better team this year. That happens in sports. In '86 when we got destroyed by the Giants in the playoffs, it didn't mean that Walsh was washed up. It's clear to me that you don't understand how sports work at all. Stick to Madden.

lol you think that guy was alive in 86?

Every single 'troll' who constantly craps on everything SF has not seen one Niner SB win, and I'll bet most every one of them were not even born in Jan. 1995.

There's no other word to describe them

Shanahan's main problem is with player selection meddling in the draft. He has screwed up so many draft picks, shouldn't meddle in scouting let the scouts do the picks.

Over their first 7 drafts 2017-2023 in rounds 1 thru 4, Shana-Lynch has made 21 poor draft picks and only 5 good picks. So only one in five picks 20% were good. And 80% of their picks in rds 1-4 were bad.

It's amazing that they are good despite their horrible rd 1-4 drafts But they have drafted great in rd 5-7, when the scouts are more involved.

The inability of the offense was this teams downfall vs Seattle. They needed to address the OL and as usual they failed to do so. Depending on what happens with Trent they might be substantially worse. I don't see how a fan can objectively look at what happened vs Seattle the final two games and think oh yeah we're good. It all starts up front. If you can't run block or pass block it doesn't matter if it's Purdy or Allen back there they won't be able to do s**t. Seattle absolutely embarrassed this offense from the players to the coaching staff.

Are we playing a game tomorrow that I missed?

Can we at least wait to freak out til after the draft?

I'm not going to claim we're going to rebuild and fix everything this offseason and take back the division when Seattle and the Rams are arguably two of the best teams in the NFL. But the fact is the offseason is still happening.

49ers got rid of one of their weak links in Burford. Outside of Colby who was a 7th rounder thrown into the fire way too early and having to play with an injured groin on top of it, Burford was the worst guy on that line last year.

Puni was playing injured most of the year. McKivitz improved for the second year in a row. He's no Lane Johnson out there but he's turned into a solid RT.

Oh yeah and the "didnt address the OL" they brought in 3 players in FA. Just because they're not splash signings doesn't mean they didnt address it. You get rid of a guy who was a major issue and bring in guys who have versatility and starting experience. We'll see how it all shakes out after the draft and training camp but saying they failed to address OL now is not only stupid cuz the offseason isn't over, it's inaccurate.

As for the Seattle killed us stuff…yeah no sh*t. Team was injured, outschemed and undermanned.

Maybe we won't have enough juice to overtake those teams next season but it's the NFL. You never know how things will go down. Stafford gets seriously injured and that Rams squad is in trouble. Seattle has to show they can keep things going with an OC change. If they get the injury bug to mimic even close to what we had to face last year and see if our OL is still getting their ass kicked.

I will never worry about other teams while we have Shanahan and Purdy. I worry about our team being healthy. Maybe it's stupid but if we're not riddled with injuries I think we can beat anyone…even if I won't be putting money on the games.

Everyone expected the Eagles to keep dominating the way they handled the Chiefs in that SB and how young their team was. We'll see how Seattle shakes out, unfortunately I think MacDonald is 100 times the HC that Sirianni is.

Ahmm…no

Mooch took over a HoF QB with elite skill players, great OL and never made it to the NFCCG.

It's another laughable analogy people make in here to diminish what Shanahan has done as a HC. Not all HCs who haven't won the SB are equal.

Shanahan has 9 playoff wins as a HC. He would have several SBs with Steve Young and Jerry Rice and TO.

Or if we look at his coaching career as a whole he could easily be the guy that chokes away SBs with Steve, Jerry and TO.
