PHOTO: SERGIO ESTRADA Hello, 2025. You’re sure to be a fascinating year. You will reveal to us how good Buster Posey is at his new job. You will reveal to us just what the heck Mike Dunleavy and Steph Curry are going to do about this basketball mess. And you will reveal to us the…

The 49ers 2024 season trudged to an uninspiring ugly finish in Arizona on Sunday afternoon. Mercifully, one of the most disappointing seasons in the history of the franchise has reached an end. The final product? A previously unfathomable 6-11 mark that does a sufficient job summarizing the hellscape that was the last four months of…

For about 30 minutes on Monday night, the Ninrs offense resembled the high powered machine it’s looked like for much of the past five seasons. The zone running, lethal play action passing, and comprehensive distribution had the NFC best Detroit Lions on their heels at Levi’s Stadium. This offense, of course, hasn’t been remotely close…

It’s the final week of 2024. All over the world, people are finalizing New Year’s resolutions, looking at ways to better themselves in 2025. The 49ers are doing the same, as they should be after a disastrous 2024 campaign that saw them eliminated with three weeks remaining in the regular season. No 49ers offseason comes…

In just two short weeks, almost unbelievably, the 49ers will conduct exit interviews following the 18th week of what has been the season from hell. The pre-season tumult that Niners fans hoped and prayed would melt away once games got underway stuck around in the worst way possible. The season from hell trudged on Sunday…

Final Jock Blog of 2024 and I’ve got bad news for you, Bay Area: No championships this year, kids. (With apologies to Stanford women’s sailing, of course. The canvas can do miracles. Just you wait and see.) The 49ers huffed and puffed and couldn’t blow the Super Bowl house down in February in Las Vegas.…

By now you’ve heard every take under the sun when it comes to DeVondre Campbell’s cowardly exit from a forgettable 49ers tenure that didn’t even last a full season. The outrage on Friday morning at least partially overshadowed the latest chapter of a hellish 2024 49ers campaign. Tim Ryan weighed in on Monday morning after…

The mercy kill for a lost season finally arrived in the holiday rain of a Great America parking lot, on a Thursday night in December.  Rams 12, 49ers 6. It was worse than it sounds. Thank the football gods. It was never going to happen this year, as I was just saying to my pal…

Few host NFL teams were happier to be back home in week 14 than the San Francisco 49ers. Back to back road games sandwiching Thanksgiving, and back to back throttling of a short handed and on life support Niners squad, definitely made the red and gold and its fans homesick. The homecoming, albeit still in…

We must chill. No one is trading Kyle Shanahan to the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago White Sox or the Chicago Bulls. Even the Chicago Sky is out of luck. No Shanahan in a trucker hat roaming the hardwood. Nor is anyone firing Kyle Shanahan as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.…
