This team — like so many of its injured players — is operating on a week-to-week basis.
Water drips from the nose of San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa as he sits on the bench in the first quarter of their NFL game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024. The field temperature at the start of the game was near 112 degrees. SANTA CLARA—The West Coast heat wave wreaked havoc on the 49ers’ practice schedule this past week, leading coach Kyle Shanahan to joke that he, like his players, will take intravenous fluids to rehydrate.
I’m fighting the urge to say that the season is over because Shanahan still deserves the benefit of the doubt here: No matter the circumstances over the last seven seasons, he has been able to keep his team together. The telltale catty comments and hardly hidden backstabbing we see with truly spiraling teams have never happened in Santa Clara, even when things were bad.
We underestimated these 49ers. It turns out that they could, in fact, find a worse way to lose this season. This team’sThe Niners choked away another 10-point fourth-quarter lead — a 13-point second-half lead — with a scoreless second half. There’s not one thing you can take for granted on this team right now. Everything is in flux. The only consistency is inconsistency.
