Sad times for Bay Area sports fans. Niners had a terrible seson. Giants struggled all year. The A's are now gone. Oakland Raiderrs are long gone. Warriors are going to struggle to make the playoffs.
I guess were getting payback for thise 3 WS wins in 5 seasons while the Niners were doing well under Harbugh. The Warriors success starting in 2014.

From 2010 to 2022, we experienced SEVEN titles. Obviously, we all wish the 49ers had one or more in there (and definitely should have), but that run our Bay Area teams experienced was a magical time.
I have witnessed all 3 of my teams become a dynasty in my lifetime. Not sure if any other geographic location of fans can say the same.

i used to follow the sports guy, back when he was on page 2 and he was always moaning about the patriots and red sox and so forth, and then boston won everything. kinda ruined his schtick tbh.

The Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics have all had dynasties in one person's lifetime?

Does winning 3 titles in 5 years without ever having the best record and never winning again make a team a dynasty? I think that is debatable. The 49ers and Warriors were clearly dynasties because they were easily the best teams both in the regular season and playoffs and could have multiple more titles. I dont think the same can be said about the Giants.

In baseball I think that qualifies. The only two times in National League history that a team has won 3 times in a 5 year span in the 1942-1944-1946 St. Louis Cardinals, and the 2010-2012-2014 Giants. And the Cards did it during WWII when a bunch of the league was in the service and everyone had replacement players.

It seems lie they're always rebuilding. They get a decent team but they just have a hard time getting over the hump. It's been over 30 seasons now and no titles. Based on how long it took the Niners and Giants to win their first it's got to be getting close for the Sharks.

I think the Giants qualify. Certainly more than the Red Sox do for anyone. Red Sox won 4 rings but did it over a 16 year time frame. That's was my point. I don't think anyone has ever witnessed a dynasty from all 3 of their teams other than us, and I stand by that.

Originally posted by SteveWallacesHelmet:The more I think about it i don't consider either the Giants or RedSox to be dynasties. Let's face it... the Giants were extremely lucky in all 3 of their ws championships. Never a dominant team, never favored to win, and their glory years lasted a short time. .

But we can agree to disagree on that. I'm just happy that I've seen 13 titles in my lifetime. Should probably have 4 more 49ers and 2 more Dubs titles though. As for the Raiders and A's... hated them both and don't count their titles.
