The San Francisco 49ers (6-8) preached desperation before Sunday’s trouncing of the Chicago Bears, and that was again the theme going into Thursday night’s divisional collision with the Los Angeles Rams (8-6). Or at least it was supposed to be. Apparently, one particular player was not feeling a sense of urgency to take the field, […]

In Week 14, the San Francisco 49ers handily defeated the Chicago Bears 38-13. They held the Bears scoreless before the half, running out to an insurmountable 24-0 lead heading into the third, and even if they gave up 13 points down the stretch, it made little impact on the game’s final score, as Kyle Shanahan’s […]

While George Kittle, Jauan Jennings […]

While the San Francisco 49ers’ 2024 NFL season hasn’t gone as planned, one of the minor bright spots has been the emergence of rookies Dominick Puni and Malik Mustapha, who have become forces for the team at right guard and safety, respectively.

The San Francisco 49ers (6-7) have been forced to call the next man up since the start of the 2024-25 regular season, particularly in their running back room. Christian McCaffrey has only carried the ball 50 times this year. Jordan Mason just joined him on the injured reserve after serving as a notable replacement. Now, […]

Many fans have used the slogan “eh, they’ll figure it out, eventually” to describe the San Francisco 49ers’ 2024-25 season, but the time for reassurance has long past. The reigning NFC champions are in last place in their division and sit two games out of the final playoff slot. There is no safety net below, […]

The San Francisco 49ers are swimming in hot water for 2024, especially head coach Kyle Shanahan. A scintillating rumor then surfaced before the Chicago Bears game.

The San Francisco 49ers have gone from Super Bowl-hopefuls to fringe playoff contenders in an injury-ravaged season that’s been a massive disappointment for head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Professional […]

After fielding one of the best-rushing offenses in the NFL, with Jordan Mason leading the way and Isaac Guerendo rounding out the ground attack, Christian McCaffrey has made his presence known for the San Francisco 49ers since Week 10, rushing the ball 43 times for an admittedly underwhelming 149 yards and zero touchdowns. What gives? […]

No matter who has or hasn’t been on the field, the San Francisco 49ers have been unsteady all season long.
