It's tough luck, but we're going to have to win the Super Bowl, without Bosa and Ford.

But, they eventually get there.
#49ers are currently 5th in the NFL in points allowed per game (19.4) which is unbelievable when you consider the injuries.

Also, although SF is 22nd in sacks (12), the Niners rank 5th in pressure % (27%) & 3rd in hurry % (13.9%).

All but one of the 10 players on this list were drafted. Five were picked in the first round.

Kevin Givens is a UDFA enjoying a superb season with San Francisco, playing a crucial role on the 49er D-Line. pic.twitter.com/U0f8qFvH2j

I was surprised Clay Matthews had 8 sacks in 2019. Seems like he'd be worth having at least as a third down pressure guy.

other teams find ways to make things work. not sure why lynch does not at least make an effort. its a position crying out for help in my opinion

The 49ers have 0 cap space to sign a vet. Matthews isn't coming back to the NFL for scraps. Giving Ziggy Ansah that much $ to play a game and a half was a terrible investment.

That is what happens when you hit the panic button.
