Weren't we 3-6 last year?

I think the best part is the panic among the Niner fans!! LMAO

Their sky is falling! Geez I could see this coming for over a year and told friends the Niners were going to take a step back this year. Too much money going to under performing players. It simply isn't sustainable.

Three games in and some are even calling for coaching changes! As the Rams found out losing is difficult but it takes focus and dedication to work your way out. It will be interesting if the Niner roster will have the leadership to weather tough times or will they sink?

Their loss in the Super Bowl didn't result in a change in their scheme or roster. We can see how the Rams evolved from 2018 to 2021 and how 2022 changed the Ram's approach to their roster. McVay has continued to evolve his system. The Niners have maintained a "good enough" attitude which is why they continue to play as they "have always played". They don't seem to understand that the team, i.e. the roster must be in perpetual evolution to consistently stay in competition. Teams like the Niners and perhaps the Bills don't seem to understand that they must learn and evolve from their failures.

The problem with the Niners is that they believe the "press", i.e. media pundits. These pundits say the Niners are a championship team and I say their window is closing if it hasn't already and their struggles are symptomatic of that.

The Niners run what looks like a modified RPO type of offense. When the team gets away from that base concept that is when they struggle. Shanahan for whatever reason went away from his run offense. Had he continued to pound the run they would have won. They would have controlled the clock and dictated the flow of the game to the Rams. This was a classic example of letting an outgunned opponent stick around until they beat you.
