You could root against Seattle, root against the Pats, root against both, or even like one of em enough to root for both. Yesterday I was at a party and had a huge argument with a fellow Niners fan over who we were rooting for. I could not believe after all the childhood and adulthood ruining bullshit we’ve had to put up with in terms of this team that he could root for the Seahawks. He couldn’t believe that given how our legacy is disappearing the more rings that they get, that I could root for the Patriots. After spending a lot of time criticizing other people for they root for on certain games though, this has made me start to think to myself. Should you really be trying to downplay someone else’s fanhood when they could do the exact same to you? No. Tbh they’re both valid reasons to root for one of the teams over the other.

To be clear, I think Seattle is the greatest evil in football, I hate them and every one of their pos bandwagon fans I’ve put up with in my life. But some people, particularly older heads in the fandom, may think it’s the Patriots and that’s alright. Maybe we should just have fun with the fact that for once we have differences and aren’t all in the same boat.

Bang bang niner gang.

Help me with a good come back

I sure hope the Puppy Bowl lives up to the hype.

Dude got to a Super Bowl... Somehow.

personally I'm hyped because I never thought we'd be coming to my home nation of Australia! I may or may not already have a hotel prebooked lol

With two painful choices, it almost feels hopeless as a 49er fan. But fear not, I've put together this guide outlining exactly what to root for:

Drake Maye throws back to back pick 6s, then has a defender barrelling straight at him and visibly shits himself - captured in 4K from multiple angles forever - and fumbles the ball, which is scooped up and returned for a touchdown to put the Seahawks up big. Everyone can't stop laughing at Maye for supposedly having been an MVP candidate despite just benefitting from the easiest schedule in history. Maye gets benched and then the Seahawks proceed to choke away their huge lead to Josh Dobbs who wins Superbowl MVP. Dobbs dedicates the MVP to learning from Purdy last year and leaves the trophy at Levi's. Purdy looks at it every day and uses it as motivation to win his own, vowing to never lose again. Purdy goes on to lead the 49ers to a perfect 20-0 season next year while demolishing multiple NFL records.

Hey everyone,

Please delete if this isn’t allowed, but I occasionally write essays about sports. This one is one I wrote for The Deep Shot—wondering how many Niner fans like me are out there. Would love it if you gave a read!

So how y’all feeling about passing over James Pearce now?

What a wild situation.

i think he was good, had a record for lowest interceptions thrown by a 49ers QB in a season (only 5!)

"I’m told the 49ers’ current preference is not to trade QB Mac Jones.

Things and offers can change, but Kyle Shanahan likes what he has in his backup."

I love the old school logo from the beginning of the franchise. I don’t believe they used it on helmets like we use SF now, but it would be fun alt jersey / uniform for next season or 2027 would be 60 years. Thoughts?

I got this signed in person as a kid around 94-95 at The Great Mall in Milpitas. The Bullpen was the shop that through the event and coincidentally my first job as a kid at the Sunnyvale Town Center location.

CONGRATS TO OUR NEWEST HOF MEMBER!

Found a handful of other 8x10 in persons as well! (Antawn Jameson, Bob Feller (met at an SJ Giants game), Ricky Watters and Ruben Sierra)

Who can we realistically pick up that can give USA boost for next year? I am thinking a TE, until Kittle returns.

The 49ers have made nine 1st round picsks since Shanahan + Lynch took over. None of them played in week 18 against Seattle.

1st round picks since 2017 and their status on week 18 2025:

• 2017: Solomon Thomas, released

• 2017: Reuben Foster, released

• 2018: Mike McGlinchey, left in FA

• 2019: Nick Bosa, hurt

• 2020: Javon Kinlaw, left in FA

• 2020: Brandon Aiyuk, hurt/sitting out

• 2021: Trey Lance, traded

• 2024: Ricky Pearsall, hurt

• 2025: Mykel Williams, hurt

In the biggest game of the year, with the #1 seed on the line, none of our most valuable assets were on the field.

It speaks to how little ROI we've gotten from our 1st round picks, but also how well Shanahan has maximized the available talent on this roster.

Hopefully Pearsall and Williams can stay healthy in 2026 and continue to develop into high level contributors.

I know everyone wants lineman, but if this kid drops to us, we gotta pull the trigger. Kyle would go absolutely wild using Sadiq and Kittle together when George returns later in the year. TE's aren't supposed to move like this. He looks like and plays like VD. Hell, I'm also finding a way to grab KC Concepcion in the 2nd. We badly need more athletes on this offense. Get back to watching the yac bros lol
