I think that would depend on what Adofo-Mensah and ownership discuss about a game plan for next year. If they don't re-sign Cousins or Hunter, there's next to no chance ownership would be expecting them to have a winning record next season. If they're preparing for a rebuild, which only makes sense at this point, I think the GM and coach are safe for at least another season. If they retain those two, I agree, both GM and coach will face the music, even though I don't think anyone should be expecting anything resembling a happy season even if they did.

Makes me feel better about the Vikings QB situation. Even though at this point it isn't a situation so much as it is an empty bucket.
-
Looking at their schedule, I realize I watched six 49er games this year. They looked excellent vs the Cowboys, Seahawks and Giants. And looked terrible vs the Vikings, Ravens and Packers. This team is way more inconsistent than the national pundits discuss.
-
Yeah, hope that sticks with him and dampens his aggressiveness in the future. This would seem to be the kind of mistake that could stick in the back of your head.
-
Wow. Well I'll take it, but that was probably the dumbest interception I've ever seen. I mean, that was 100% self glory right?
-
I don't want OT. GB has looked like the far better team today.
-
Please score, but do so with less than 20 seconds? I don't want Love having a chance to go down and tie thus building up his mythos.
-
The three remaining AFC teams are watching all of this and drooling.
-
Right, Vikings big misses are as time expires.

I know I'm an annoying doofus about this guy, but I still don't understand how Anthony Prato isn't near the top of everyone's wish list of prospect promotions. Only moderate power, but top end OBP, positional flexibility and reasonable stolen bases (which I don't care about) at all levels. This guy looks like Ben Zobrist to me. I'm honestly more bullish on him than the bigger names like Martin and Severino. No need to tell me how wrong I am, I know this is a nicksaviking island.

Some, but most of it is aging. Deebo's contract isn't easy to get away from, can they keep Aiyuk too? Not that he's exactly young. The OL isn't young, McCaffery is old for a RB and 7 of their defensive starters will be 27 or higher next year. That's not a kiss of death on defense, but that's peak at best years. And I truly don't dislike Purdy, I just don't think he's "the guy". Certainly could have a fantastic career. He's young though, he could be the guy I'd want two years from now.
-
If they don't move Kepler or Polanco, and they won't pay for a Rhys Hoskins or a Justin Turner, they should stay put with the offense. All of the internal options have significantly higher offensive ceilings than Hicks. Don't put more roadblocks in front of the young guys, lately they have pretty much always been the best options.
-
There will be a ton of 'free' players, or players making league minimum. They need one offensive upgrade, and then just find these free guys who will take MiLB deals they can stick in AAA. I mean they can do that if they want these free players, but I'd just as soon leave them alone.
-
I don't even want to contemplate a Lions-Packers NFC Championship. Man, I'm suddenly the biggest Baker Mayfield fan.
-
And from the whining, it sounds like the wrong cleats had an impact in the fist half. So my question would be, why was the HOME team slower at changing cleats than the away team? Seems like they should have had a better understanding of their own stinking field! I'm ready to move the 49ers way up my "I hate you for irrational reasons" list.
-
I really don't like the way Love has developed the last half of this year.
-
But Hicks would be replacing Larnach, Gordon or Martin. Is that really an upgrade? Seems pointless to add any bat that's not significantly better. The next most "replaceable" players are Farmer and Castro, who aren't being replaced. The Twins just aren't in a position to give a guaranteed contract to a guy like Hicks until/unless they start removing the vets like Kepler or Polanco.
-
McCaffery, Kittle and Samuel are pretty old for their positions and their best defensive players are all 27+. It's possible we're seeing the end of this excellent run by the 49ers but just didn't realize it. The Rams could re-take this division next year and not look back until they have to transition QBs.
-
Come on San Fran, this is disgusting.
-
But this team needs more offense, they don't need a 4th outfielder. Any offensive additions should be noticeable upgrades because they can only add ONE guy at this point.
-
Prefer not to answer. For what it's worth, the better player doesn't mean the most important player in this equation.
-
Well I'd prefer not to, but I'm certainly less thrilled with the Vikings latest drafts than the Packers are with theirs.
-
That does worry me long term. There's no determining a receiver hierarchy for them, as there appears to be four that could be the alpha in any given week. And then two tight ends to boot. If there isn't a clear receiver to claim most of the targets, they can probably use that against opponents with some clever game plans.
-
So far with no trades of Kepler, Polanco, Vazquez, or any other offensive player, the Twins only have one semi-flexible spot on the offensive side of the 26-man roster to fill, that would be the Nick Gordon/Trevor Larnach/Jose Miranda/St. Paul Saint du jour player. But they need to upgrade the offense, it can't be Hicks or anyone else that's a blackhole with the bat. There's no more room for 'defensive specialists'.
-
If Purdy hands this game to the Packers, he's going to be high on my list of players I resent.
