Will this be the first winless team in 49er history?

Bruh this makes no sense.

he has to be trolling

Naw some people take that "super bowl or bust" figure of speech literally.

This is a joke. Rather go winless than make the SB because the fear of losing. WTF??

I said I'd rather go 0-16 than lose the super bowl. Just ask the bills if they take pride in just going to the Super Bowl.

I didn't say I take pride in losing the SB. But, i did enjoy every single win on the way to the SB. Yeah, we fell short by a few yards, but not every team that makes the SB will win it. That's what makes it special.

Are you the real GM of the Browns?

Has to be, or Jed himself

I'm okay with it if it means we rebound considerably next season. A win that drops us 5 spots from #1 or #2 overall isn't worth a win that won't make ANY difference next year.

Thank you! See you guys should listen to GMs more often

f**k that. I don't want to go winless for the number one overall. We possibly have our FQB, so there is no need for it. I don't want the blemish in 49er history.

Also, I find it interesting that posters were all upset about being 5-1 in SB (at least we had a shot at #6) but are okay with being one of the few teams to go 0-16 in NFL history. I don't get it.

Just to clarify: you think going 0-16 is better than going 18-1.

So I guess the bills are one of the most successful franchise in football history right? Ok then.

Yeah and nobody praises the loser for getting there.

This. Nobody would rather go 0-16 than lose in the Super Bowl...no fan at least. 0-16 means you just wasted 4-5 months for absolutely nothing, on top of all the time you wasted during the offseason leading up to that season. Losing in the SB hurts, but at least you had phenomenal moments throughout the year leading up to that point which is what us fans are looking for...We aren't watching week 5 thinking about who we will play in the SB...we are watching week 5 to see our team win, period...same thing applies all the way up to the playoffs if we are fortunate enough to get there....people who say that crap aren't being serious.

We won 2 preseason games doe.

Jed York has a webzone account

Let me guess, you answered "No" on the survey that he sent out if winning matters?

I personally feel like the Coaching staff and front office will look back at this year and regret letting go of some of the vets. If more vets were around we would most likely have less penalties and breakdowns in coverage etc. This would of saved us a few games. Hindsight is 20/20 though

What veterans were let go that would have made a difference? Maybe, Bowman?

The way Bowman was treated irked me but the reality is he is at the end of his career and injuries were starting to hang around like a bad smell. One mistake I think they made was to get rid of Kerley. I don't know their reason.

I think of things this way, this year is a year of pain to clean out all the dead wood and bring in players who have good prospects for the future in the way Shanahan and Lynch envision the way the 49ers will play football. It is not about instant results. It is about building a team structure and philosophy that will work for the future. The roster is vastly different than last year with only some 14 or so players lest who were here in 2016. It will change some more until they get it working the way they want.

Comparing this year with last year is not realistic. Chip had no say in personnel and I would imaging little power with Baalkie lurking behind him at every step as the flawed control freak he was.

The difference this year is Shanahan and Lynch are working together to rebuild and it will be trial and error until they get it right and it will take time for the players to work together as a team. It takes time to gel and although they are to KS's credit looking more organised it will take time for them to gel properly.

How is getting rid of Kerley a mistake? He's suspended, wouldn't be helping us anyway...

I'm not sure how the strength of schedule tiebreaker works out this year, but if we go winless and we don't end up with the #1 overall pick...

Browns have the tie-breaker because they have an easier schedule. If both teams go 0-16, SF picks #2 overall.

With the Garoppolo trade there's zero incentive to not win at least one game. We have our QB, and whether we pick #1, #2 or #3 overall we'll be able to trade the pick for a ton of other picks.

Winning at least one game has to be the minimum goal.

Browns win the strength of schedule tie breaker. They have a weaker schedule than we do.

I have no idea where to start to fix this season.

OL, OL, OL.

They need to sign at least 4 free agent OL and they need to draft at least 3 OL. Both starters and depth need an overhaul.

Improve the OL and you improve the offense. Improve the offense and you improve the defense.

The DL hasn't been able to play with more than a 3-pt lead all season. Think about how much that handicaps what you can scheme on defense.

I think the Browns get the #1 overall if we both end up with the same and worst record in the league because of strength of schedule.

Either way just root for the browns

In all likelihood we will win at least one game. Let's just hope the browns win 2.
