This version of the San Francisco 49ers, battered and bruised but with so much heart, deserved a playoff win. What a stunning coaching job by Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh.

Brock Purdy threw a pick on the first play of the game and since then has balled out on every drive. Love his cornerback brain lol.

The 49ers don’t have George Kittle or Trent Williams and are just absolutely gashing the Bears on the ground.

The #49ers blowout of the Colts wasn’t perfect, but it was a near-perfect illustration of what they’ll need to do to win in the playoffs.

The Skyy Moore trade is turning out to be one of the best #49ers moves of the offseason.
He’s in rarefied air among 49er return men and receiving huge plaudits from his coach and his teammates.

The 49ers will officially end the season with a winning record whatever happens from here after their 26-8 victory over the Browns.
After everything they've been through, that's reason enough to consider their 2025 season a success.

It all looked very, very easy for Brock Purdy yesterday as the 49ers blew out the Cardinals.
Arizona's ineptitude helped, but Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle still had huge praise for their returning QB.

The 2025 season continues to be a remarkable coaching job from Kyle Shanahan and his 49ers staff.
5-2 amid relentless setbacks. Shanahan has to be the Coach of the Year front runner.

A really encouraging half from the 49ers.
Already over 100 yards rushing on offense, while a undermanned defense is swarming to the ball and finding ways to get pressure.
