Yea - it's Championship or bust - especially since we have come close 4-5 times over the last 12 years. Iirc - felt a kick in the stomach for a couple weeks straight after we lost to Baltimore and KC. Baltimore one really hurt bc we really just gave that away and it was the first time we had lost in the SB.
This team is too good to not win it all and I'm not sure how many chances we are gonna get with the current stars of the team. Don't think it will ever hurt as bad as Baltimore bc a) I was young and believed in Dani Rojas "Football is life" moto b) Going thru all the heartbreak in previous years has prepared me better - but it sure will feel like the team massively failed if they don't win it all this year.

This season feels like a complete loss without a Lombardi

Blow it all up and move to San Diego. There are too many faithless in Northern California.

Anyone else just feel like they need to see just ONE again, and then they're good for a long time and the heartbreak of these other seasons wouldn't sting so bad? Maybe it's just me. Hoping they finally turn the corner this year. We're due and holy hell, has it been a gut-wrenching journey that's fallen painfully short the past decade.
I'm not exactly sure how winning one feel but I I think it'll take all the pressure off and make football a little more fun again. I've been kind of obsessed with wanting another one so bad.

Lose first playoff game - A complete loss and some heads need to roll
Lose in Championship Game - Very disappointing, but we have a chance next year to get stronger and fix the oline.
Lose in the Superbowl - Disappointing, but realize we are almost there and maybe we will have better luck next year.
All sucks, but some more than others.
Its best to just enjoy the moment and every game. If you are not enjoying sports, then there is not much reason to watch it.

What sort of heads? Players? Coaches? If we go out early, I would guess that injuries will be largely to blame. So who are you going to sack?

Wilkes. This is a complete failure if you don't win the Lombardi with this roster. Kyle coming out empty backfield against that team was near criminal. You play to win the game not an MVP…….

This is the most complete team talent wise team with All Pros on all sides of the ball N if they can't pull it off they ain't gonna win a SB with key guys like Kittle, Warner, Samuel, CMC, Bosa or Aiyuk. Age will catch up N contracts will catch up to Shanahan's team, they will blow it up once again without anything to show for it.

This. Sports is supposed to be fun. I enjoy the 49ers and am disappointed when I lose, but some of the takes lack a grip on reality and what's important. Maybe some need to listen to some Giannis speeches.

I am enjoying this run. A Superbowl is always what we want but losing a SB is a lot better than being hopeless.

to me it'll feel like a complete loss in the sense that the greatest 49ers roster of all time couldnt win it all

Two words…. Kyle Shanahan.
awesome offensive coordinator.
average head coach.
it'll be tough to bring one back to SF, and we as fans will pay an emotional toll for it. but hey, at least he has 6 more years to keep tearing our hearts out

Yeah it's a loss without a Super Bowl win for sure. #1 talent in the league. Something tells me we get bounced in the playoffs too. A Shanahan special tradition.
