San Francisco 49ers News

Even though the 49ers head into their week nine bye with a win over the Cowboys, they still welcome the break after a tumultuous first half of the season. The red and gold limp, quite literally, into the break at 4-4. A 4-4 that is a lot less palatable than a .500 mark other clubs […]

Chiefs week. It seems crazy, silly almost, that the 49ers and their fans have assigned a name to a week leading up to a matchup with an AFC foe. But when you’ve lost two Super Bowls to an ever-ascending dynasty, and take the field as two of the best teams in the NFL each time […]

Breathe in, Niners fans. Hold it. Gather yourself. Now breathe out slowly. Feel that relaxation? That peace? That’s the panic leaving your body.

Two weeks ago, the 49ers traveled north from Los Angeles in a stunned daze after coughing up what had looked like a sure win against the Rams. San Francisco said all the right things in the days following. Coaches and players assured fans that they’d learn from it, and that while these things happen, they […]

If you thought the Niners’ injury issues couldn’t get worse before the team’s astonishing loss to the Rams, think again.

With good reason too, for the most part. Now a perennial NFC juggernaut, San Francisco and its faithful had, (and […]

Christian McCaffrey has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game in Minnesota. After a late scratch in Monday’s season opener, his earlier out designation in week two reflects the heightened concern San Francisco has for his Achilles tendinitis. Kyle Shanahan announced McCaffrey’s official status Friday afternoon, and ominously didn’t rule out a trip to IR […]

49ers fans woke up on Monday morning under the impression that their all world running back Christian McCaffrey would be in the backfield for the season opener against New York at Levi’s Stadium later that evening. Fast forward just over 24 hours, and the immediate future of No. 23 is far less clear. Niners fans […]

It’s been nearly seven months since the 49ers trudged off the field in Las Vegas, licking their latest fresh wound as the Chiefs danced with their third Lombardi.
