\"We're the San Francisco 49ers, we can do whatever we want.\"
The regular season is over, and the San Francisco 49ers will be the No. 6 seed in the NFC after losing a tough game to the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, with the NFC West title and the No. 1 seed on the line. After an improbable run, which included a six-game win streak and some […]
And that’s a wrap for the NFC West. The final games are over, the standings are solidified, and three teams are going to the postseason. Given that there are more playoff teams nowadays in everybody-gets-a-trophy NFL playoff brackets, it’s not as huge as it was a decade ago when three teams from the same division […]
49ers game review: The back-breaking play that left John Lynch screaming (paywall) “The big play was part of a game in which the 49ers missed a season-high 18 tackles, according to Pro Football Focus, a reason they missed out on a chance to win the NFC West title and claim the conference’s No. 1 seed. […]
Now that the NFC playoff bracket is official, the San Francisco 49ers have their Wild Card weekend opponent set. Philadelphia losing to Washington means they are the 3-seed, and will host the Niners. The last time these two teams faced each other, Deebo Samuel had a day to remember in Philadelphia, and the 49ers won […]
The San Francisco 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday evening. The winner will earn a coveted bye week as the No. 1 seed in the playoff picture. The loser travels to Tampa Bay. Or Carolina. Perhaps Chicago. Maybe even Philadelphia. Despite what happens Saturday night, it would not be a surprise to see the […]
The San Francisco 49ers anxiously await their Wild Card opponent. On Sunday afternoon, a Los Angeles Rams win over the Arizona Cardinals would mean the Niners are the sixth seed. If the Rams lose, the 49ers will travel to the NFC South winner, which turned out to be the Carolina Panthers. The Rams are 14.5-point […]
The San Francisco 49ers will find out who their Wild Card opponent will be next week before Sunday night football kicks off. One of their potential matchups, the Philadelphia Eagles, will rest several starters on Sunday. Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and the entire starting offensive line are not listed among the […]
This is not a bunch of woulda, coulda, shoulda. The 49ers were scheduled to play on Saturday, and they lost 13-3 to the Seattle Seahawks that night. Lost is not the right word: they got suffocated Saturday. It doesn’t help matters when offensive tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall are both out for […]
Fooch has the strutting pony that we all have for when the San Francisco 49ers win. When things don’t go our way, I give you angry John Lynch: If anything sums up the 49ers fans’ thoughts on their 13-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, it’s that emotion right there. That reaction happened on a third […]
What Kyle Shanahan and others said after 49ers’ 13-3 loss vs. Seahawks“You talked a lot about wanting to stay here and not go back on the road, and now you know that you have to. What’s the feeling and what have you said to the team? “Oh, we’re ready for it. I mean, yeah, it […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ defense didn’t put up much of a fight on the first drive. The Seattle Seahawks picked up nine yards on the second play from scrimmage, then 20 yards on the third play. After getting Seattle into a 3rd & 4 situation, Sam Darnold had enough time to work to his fourth […]
The San Francisco 49ers will wear their all-black rival jerseys tonight against the Seattle Seahawks. Brock Purdy and the offense won’t have their most dangerous wide receiver or all-everything left tackle. The Seahawks are already stingy enough, but being short-handed at two of the most critical positions will make Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy, and everybody […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ inactive list is out. A feel-good story ahead of the game is that longtime announcer Greg Papa plans to return to the 49ers radio booth for the Seattle Seahawks game. The voice of the Niners has missed the entire regular season thus far while battling leukemia. He was slated to return […]
The San Francisco 49ers made a couple of transactions ahead of tonight’s matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. With Trent Williams’ status in question, the 49ers are elevating offensive tackle Brandon Parker from the practice squad. The thought is that if Williams can’t play, Austen Pleasants will start. The only other offensive tackle on the roster […]
The Carolina Panthers are 7-2 in close games, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 5-6. Both teams are in the bottom 20 in point differential. Tampa Bay is 31st in average margin of victory, while the Panthers are 29th. The NFC South, everybody. We have ourselves as close to a play-in situation as it gets […]
Death, taxes, and the NFL poaching the San Francisco 49ers’ staff. These are absolutes in life. We’ve talked about how defensive coordinator Robert Saleh is a hot coaching candidate for 2026 ad nauseam, but Saleh isn’t the only one other teams may look for. Albert Breer mentioned in his MMQB post on Friday that two […]
Saturday night’s game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks will be full of overreactions. Whichever teams win will be prematurely crowned, while the loser will be treated like a team that doesn’t deserve to make the postseason. Here’s how we believe tonight’s game will go. Kyle’s prediction: 49ers 23, Seahawks 20 There’s […]
The stage is set. Saturday night, the San Francisco 49ers will take the field in their rivalry uniforms with a chance to secure the number one seed in the NFC and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

49ers vs. Seahawks: The Standard’s 5 fast predictions (paywall)“Kawakami: 49ers 23, Seahawks 20. In contrast to the 49ers’ last few games, field position and field goals should be enormous in this game. Nobody’s likely to put up 400 yards. There won’t be 10 huge plays; maybe just two or three. And presuming George Kittle is back, […]
The San Francisco 49ers take on the Seattle Seahawks in a battle for the No. 1 seed on Saturday Night at Levi’s Stadium, with the loser being either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed in the NFC. For the 49ers, their offense has been rolling since Brock Purdy returned from a toe injury. But, […]
It’s ancient history now, but the San Francisco 49ers have had a few sideline moments over the years.
