Rams-Bears playoff discussion: Can Caleb Williams keep up the magical comebacks?
The Chicago Bears are never out of a game. Caleb Williams may be inconsistent to start the game, but he has done a fabulous job of bringing his team back in the second half. But if he gets down 21-3 to Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams, Williams can forget about an NFC Championship […]
Kyle Shanahan on Christian McCaffrey: “One of the most impressive seasons by an individual player ever”
The San Francisco 49ers saw their season come to a disappointing end on Saturday, falling 41-6 in one of the biggest losses in postseason history for the franchise. It capped what had been a memorable season for the injury-riddled team that found a way to rack off a six-game win streak late in the year […]
Texans-Patriots playoff discussion: DeMeco Ryans looks to stop Drake Maye
The Houston Texans have the quietest 10-game winning streaks in the NFL. Maybe that’s a sign of how good Drake Maye has been with the New England Patriots. This game will feature two of the best head coaches in the NFL. DeMeco Ryans will have his hands full against Maye, who has done nothing but […]
3 stars for the 49ers from the Divisional round: Brock Purdy went down swinging
The San Francisco 49ers’ season ended in a massive crash and burn at the hands of a 41-6 rout by the Seattle Seahawks. Rashid Shaheed took the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, and the next 59 minutes and 47 seconds of game time felt like torture. By the time the 49ers took the […]
Kyle Shanahan on the Renardo Green sideline interaction: “Just coaching him”
The San Francisco 49ers didn’t have much to go their way in the NFC Divisional Round loss to the Seattle Seahawks. As you might expect, things did get heated, but one thing that stood out was what looked like cornerback Renardo Green getting chewed out: So what got us here? Well, the 49ers had a […]
How optimistic should we really be about the 2026 49ers?
The San Francisco 49ers’ season came to an end in the NFC Divisional Round with a 41-6 loss against their division rival, the Seattle Seahawks. Normally, in these situations, you’d find me screaming at the TV about how much opportunity was squandered, the 49ers are underachieving, blah, blah, blah. Instead, I was happy. Very optimistic. […]
Golden Nuggets: What a season of 49ers football
What we learned as 49ers’ 2025 NFL season ends with NFC playoff loss to Seahawks“The 49ers hope Warner, Bosa and Kittle will return to being highly productive players and key figures of the team next season. Those players returning from injuries, along with first-round pick Mykel Williams, should give the 49ers a boost next season. […]

49ers NFC playoffs 2026: San Francisco eliminated with Divisional Round loss to the Seahawks
The game couldn’t have started worse for the San Francisco 49ers. Rookie Jordan James ran himself out of the play on the opening kickoff. Chase Lucas compounded that with a missed tackle. Eddy Pineiro’s slide tackle came up empty, and Rashid Shaheed ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown to give the Seattle Seahawks […]
49ers-Seahawks playoff discussion: Win, and your reward is Fred Warner
The San Francisco 49ers come into this game without George Kittle. They do get a healthier version of Trent Williams and add Ricky Pearsall to the active roster. Dee Winters should be better next to Eric Kendricks, while Luke Gifford, the team leader in special teams tackles, will help the team on coverage units. Pearsall, […]
Ricky Pearsall returns to the lineup for the 49ers against the Seahawks tonight
The 49ers only elevated a pair of linemen on each side of the ball on Saturday, likely to reward them with game checks There were no linebackers elevated, which was a good sign for Luke Gifford and Dee Winters availability. The same is true for wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. All three will play tonight. Here […]
49ers playoff discussion: Bo Nix and the Broncos want revenge against Josh Allen and the Bills
It’s not often that you see the No. 1 seed in the first round of the playoffs as an underdog. That’s what Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos were for much of the week. That shows the respect that Josh Allen has earned in this league. The lazy take is to say that Allen will […]
49ers elevate pair of linemen, rule out WR for Seahawks game
The San Francisco 49ers made a couple of roster moves on Saturday ahead of their NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, elevating defensive tackle Sebastian Valdez and offensive tackle Brandon Parker for the game. Those two elevations are notable, not necessarily because of the positions that San Francisco is adding at, but moreso […]

The Seahawks don’t know if Sam Darnold will be OK to start against the 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers’ defense and Robert Saleh might not have the opportunity to put the game in the hands of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold. Darnold was a late addition to the final injury report with an oblique injury. It felt like gamesmanship after the 49ers toyed with the idea that Fred Warner would […]

Where do you think Robert Saleh will be coaching in 2026?
San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh was expected to be a strong candidate for this head coaching cycle. He will interview for five of the nine vacant head-coaching positions. A week from now, that number could be higher. Let’s act as if a team hires Saleh away from the 49ers, regardless of what happens […]
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan has high praise for 2 of his offensive starters
The San Francisco 49ers have played multiple games this season with different combinations. In Weeks 8 and 9, they were without starting center Jake Brendel, who has been public enemy No. 1 among Niners fans for three years running. Without Brendel in the lineup, the 49ers had their lowest passing success rate in a game […]
