I have to confess that I have pretty much lost interest in this season, which sucks because I was really looking forward to the Legendary Revenge Tour. I just don't see how, in the present environment, that the games will have much meaning or that the outcome of the season will be very satisfying. Even if the team were to make it back to the Super Bowl, assuming there is one, and win, it seems there would always be a huge asterisk next to the accomplishment. I want the team to win the Super Bowl because they were the best team in the league and proved it week in and week out against all contenders, not because they managed to navigate their way through a virus wracked season better than some other club.
This is so silly, despite what anyone says nobody has ever put an asterisk on any championship team, I don't see anyone putting any on the Redskins....I mean Washington team for 82 or 87, or the 1999 Spurs or the 2012 Miami Heat....only stat that matters are what they put in the history books and if the 49ers can some how pull off their first championship in 26 years I and I'm sure many other Niners fans would be ecstatic despite all the pandemic nonsense
I think any real fan would want to know that the team earned the championship. As I mentioned in a previous post I can't imagine that there would be much satisfaction in beating the Bucs if Tom Brady tested positive for the Covid virus and had to put himself in quarantine for two weeks during the time he was scheduled to play us. I doubt any real fan would take much satisfaction in beating the Rams if Aaron Donald had to sit out for the same reason, or Russell Wilson in Seattle. Or what if a couple of our own stars tested positive and had to sit out the weeks when we had some important division games to play and we ended up losing both. I swear you'd never hear the end of the complaining if that happened. The idea of being satisfied to "win" a championship under those conditions strikes me as being a little pathetic. Maybe the league can just give out participation trophies this year, that way everyone can go home happy.
