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. […]

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.

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 […]

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.
