There are only a few weeks left to start the Show. Before analyzing how our 2023 season can be in the NFL you have to look back… Where we come from? In this article we will try to remember what it was like and the feelings we had last season
SUMMARY 2022
I started the season with the feeling that now yes, now we would check if the first 3 rounds that we gave for Trey Lance they were justified and if it had been worth paying such a high price to go up for him.
Soon we would leave doubts.
START: Lance to Jimmy
He first match of the season was before Chicago Bears and ended with a defeat. We did not know how to find a way to establish our game in a game marked by rain. Too many new parts to fit into the complicated schemes of Shanahan. Another year with a lazy start for the team was in sight. It was clear that if osseous they had any chance to beat us was at the beginning of the season.
Trey Lance (2022) – NFL.com
He second meeting It was the debut at home once morest our eternal rival Seattle Seahawks and it was also the beginning of the nightmare with our quarterbacks. Trey Lance at the end of the first quarter he was carrying the ball down the middle when following a tackle, which at first seemed to have no more importance, collapsed when trying to get up. ankle fracture and season ending. Goes into Jimmy Garoppolo… yes Jimmy, that Jimmy who a few weeks ago was training alone in the band while the daisy of his future inside or outside the franchise was unraveling. The handsome man lets his hair down before a Seattle very weak and comfortable victory that led us to put the 1-0-1 on aggregate. First division win.
The week 3 took us to Empower Field of Denver to face the Broncos of Russell Wilson. The team despite scoring touchdown in the middle of the first quarter then slumps. Jimmy makes a safety and in the drive decisive throws an interception that costs us the game by a bizarre score of 11-10. Second defeat and aggregate of 1-0-2. The doubts and the ghosts of past seasons where the team has a hard time getting started were back.
Week 4we return to Levis of Santa Clara once morest another divisional rival. The Angeles Rams They were once more the balm to the rescue when things look ugly. Placid 24-9 victory that meant parity on aggregate 2-0-2 and that brought our second divisional victory to our scoreboard.
The week 5 He took us to see up close what would eventually be one of the key players of the season. Visit and win 15-37 in the Bank Of America Stadium of the Carolina Panthers. Powerful backfield con Jeff Wilson y Tevin Coleman that allowed us an outstanding running game to the team. The only touchdown local raised it to the marker a certain Christian McCaffrey. Global 3-0-2
The week 6 It would mean the fourth away game of the season and also the third defeat. Disappointing performance once morest some Atlanta Falcons very physical who ran us through the center as they wanted, especially Marcus Mariota who had a feast. A Garoppolo Very erratic, he returned to throwing his armpit passes and some interceptions. Overall 3-0-3.
ILLUSION: McCaffrey arrives
The week 7 It was going to be a before and following for many reasons. The team was defeated once more, this time at home once morest the Kansas City Chiefs of Patrick Mahomes. The best quarterback Active in the current NFL I handle the excessive and crazy pressure of our defense as if it were a child playing with a hamster. Debut with the team McCaffrey who would ultimately become one of the most decisive players of the season. some gurus NFLeros they ruled that the 4 rounds that had been paid for it were too expensive… it wouldn’t take long for them to swallow their words. Global of 3-0-4, red alarm and feeling that the season might be slipping through the fingers. Nobody might imagine that following this game the team would not lose once more until they were eliminated in the conference final, chaining… 12 consecutive victories!!!
McCaffrey (2022) – Fox News
Week 8division duel once morest Rams in it Sofi Stadium. Bath and massage with a performance by McCaffrey out of the ordinary. CMC I throw a pass touchdown a Brandon Aiyuk in a trick play and then I score two touchdowns, one of pass and another of race. Third comfortable divisional victory, sealed with a 14-31 score and a 4-0-4 aggregate.
week 9. Bye perfect in the middle of the season to recover forces and troops and also to clarify ideas and concepts.
In the week 10 we might see one of the great games of the season. At home before the Charguers of Justin Herbert. Power to power match where the defense manages to leave the entire second half to zero Charguers and it begins to make it clear that it will be a key unit if we want to go far. Garoppolo redeems himself from previous mistakes with a touchdown land. Victory worked by 22-16 in a game from less to more and that returns us to a positive record with an aggregate of 5-0-4.
Week 11, fourth divisional duel of the season. match played in the Aztec stadium of Mexico in front of the Arizona Cardinalds. An incredible stage and the stands full of red and gold jerseys… the Niners “They played at home.” The cardinals resisted early in the game thanks to the connection between the quarterback Colt McCoy and his best receiver DeAndre Hopkinsbut then the defense prevailed 49er seconded by a fluent attack from those of Shanahan. Easy victory and once more bulky by 10-38. Overall 6-0-4. Four of those victories achieved once morest direct division rivals. It’s raining less. The team begins to glimpse very positive symptoms, scores easily and defends well.
The week 12 brought the equipment back to the bay Santa Clara to face the New Orleans Saints. Game dominated by the defenses and marked by poor efficiency of the Niners in the red zone, which had been a trend throughout the season. Sober victory by 13-0 and global of 7-0-4.
THE PURDYNET!!
Week 13…the game that marked the season and who knows if the future of the franchise. We received a very reinforced team of Miami Dolphins with old acquaintances exNiners. One of them, Trent Sherfieldhad already managed to score touchdown for the dolphins just 10 seconds before the start of the game. With still 11:30 left to finish the first quarter, in a play of 3 and 6, Garoppolo escape from pocket and he is tackled with such bad luck that the opponent’s knee falls on his foot and fractures it. Season ending. Second quarterback starter out of the team. the stands of Levis Stadium it fell silent and we all considered the season over. With the quarterbacks 1 and 2 out, 99.99% of NFL teams would have finished their run. Unable to attend to the television screen, this is when it comes into action Brock Purdy, quarterback 3 on the team and the last overall pick in the draft. Mr Irrelevant, a perfect stranger. Play by play, pitch by pitch manages to attract our attention and those of us who comb our gray hair watching football The hairs on our necks stood on end because with such a small sample we already had that feeling, perhaps without any scientific basis that “this child has something special”. Self-confidence, nerves of steel, knowledge of the playbook, character, maturity and an incipient leadership began to take shape. Nobody dared to qualify what we were seeing because we were afraid that we would be labeled crazy overreaction. And Tua Tagovailoa very erratic helps in the party and the team ends up winning comfortably by 33-17. 8-0-4 aggregate. Weeks later, the Purdyneta would become a boat where everyone wanted to get on… get on there is room for everyone.
The week 14 it was also at home. We received the Tampa Bay of Tom Bradyand Niner of heart and of the few quarterbacks able to shade Joe Montana. Some Tampa very blurred with respect to those who had raised the Lombardi two years ago they were a broken toy in the hands of San Francisco who was advancing toward the playoffs at cruising speed with a Purdy that continued to surprise locals and strangers for its high performance. It would be unfair not to say that the performance of the Offensive Line without being lofty, it did exceed expectations considering that the center and the guard law were new to the formation. Victory 35-7 and global of 9-0-4.
Week 15 and penultimate divisional duel of the regular season. The fans of the Seahawks they saw in the Lumen Field of Seattle like the roller of the Niners he was already unstoppable. The game left us perhaps one of the most beautiful plays of the season with a double fake late release tight end that made the gambusina fans get up from their seats when Kittle finally scored the touchdown following two fake passes to the left and right of Purdy. McCaffrey he looked powerful and Brock he continued to earn the respect of the squad and coaching staff with his performances and that is when Shany he likes a quarterback it is too noticeable. Victory perhaps more comfortable than what the final score of 13-21 indicates. Overall 10-0-4.

The week 16 it was in Santa Clara in front of the Washington Commanders. The first part was a recital of both defenses. just a precious jet sweep of 72 yards what Ray Ray McCloud ran to score touchdown I managed to unbalance the score. Secondary actors also began to appear at decisive moments. In the second part Purdy connect a touchdown by air from 44 yards con Kittle and later following a rollout reconnect with him touchdownit was 4 touchdown of “Zero Fear” in the last two games…the “Iowa Connection” was born. Another victory with more than 30 points scored and an overall of 11-0-4.
Week 17, the best game of the season followed closely by the Chargers home game in week 10. This time at home Allegiant Stadium of Las Vegas Raiders. Despite incredible red zone defense from Niners we came to lose in the middle of the 3rd quarter by 14-24. The match ends with a draw at 34. In the extra timewhat a rushed pass from Purdy might have been an interception it became a 1&10, however when it was up to Jarret Stidhamthe same type of pass was intercepted by Gipson that brought the ball closer to the distance of field goal for what Gould scored and won the game. Global of 12-0-4 and that feeling that the gods were on our side this time…weeks later we would see that nothing to do…not this year either.
And we closed the regular season in the week 18 receiving the Arizona Cardinalds in it Levis Stadium to, in case of winning, have a perfect 6-0-0 season in the division… and that’s how it was. Purdy I found over and over once more Brandon Aiyuk by air while by land Elijah Mitchell y Christian McCaffrey they percuted the weak defense of the cardinals. The owa connection Purdy-Kittle I would produce another one touchdown. Even Jordan Mason joined the party. The 49ers they were a roller. Another victory with a score above 30 points, 38-13. Global of 13-0-4 that gave us the seed 2 and that led us to face each other in the round wildcard precisely to a divisional rival, the Seahawks. This record also gave us the advantage of facing our opponents at home at least until the conference final..
Ronda WildCard. A priori we knew it might be an easy game, but the disciples of Pete Carroll never underestimate them. Only half of them were able to withstand the Seahawks largely thanks to DK Metcalf. They even went to rest 1 point up with 17-16 on the scoreboard, the result of a race through the center of Geno Smith and a late and absurd blow of Ward once the quarterback was already on the ground which allowed them to get away from field goal and score 3 points with almost no time left on the clock. In the second part, Brock Purdy led the comeback thanks to a quarterback sneak Transformed into touchdown. the men of DeMeco Ryans held off the attack Seattle and they were only allowed to score with less than two minutes remaining on the clock. A fairly varied and fluid attack did the rest. Comfortable victory by 41-23 and we advance.

Ronda Divisional. Classic where there are … the dallas cowboys. The first part was marked by the defenses. San Francisco might only score through field goals. three out of three for Robbie Gould that once once more was infallible in the postseason. for his part Dallas I note touchdown but he failed extra point. Dak I throw two pics. Niners up on the score 9-6 at halftime. In the second half we imposed our running game, managing to score through McCaffrey and touchdown that in the end would be decisive. Dallas only managed to score two field goals in the second part. In the final play to raise the tables to the scoreboard Dalton Schultz tight end of Cowboys he was unable to keep both feet inside the field at the reception and he missed the possibility of at least having played a game in a failure of concentration hail mary …and that’s where the game ended. Victory worked for 19-12 and we advanced.
Conference Final. We had to face at home one of the teams that had been in the best shape throughout the season in both conferences, the Philadelphia Eagles. San Francisco won the toss and chose to defer the ball to attack at the start of the second half as he likes Shanahan. In the first drive las Eagles they arrived at the end zone with a deep pass from Hurts that it should have been given as incomplete and that Devonta Smith he hastened to take out so that the 49ers they will not throw the check flag. The first in front and it was difficult for us to go 7 down on the scoreboard. First drive for Ninersthere are 7 minutes remaining for the end of the first quarter and they are at 2 and 6, play action of Purdy and when he turns to look for his receivers he finds that our tight end is unable to stop rush of Hassan Reddick that hits the forearm of Purdy just when he made the gesture of throwing with such bad luck that he tore the lateral ulnar ligament of his throwing arm. Tercer quarterback season ending it’s from the season. But the thing does not end here since he jumps onto the field quarterback 4 Josh Johnson that playing easy achieves thanks to McCaffrey tie the game. It was going to be a miracle if we managed to compete with him. quarterback 4 team in a conference final. A failure of concentration of the defense and a fumble of Johnson They make us go to rest 14 points down on the scoreboard. At the beginning of the third quarter Johnson he suffers a concussion and is forced to retire from the field. he has to jump once more Purdy that unable to shoot, he spent the entire second half playing at hand. We will never even know what would have happened because the San Francisco 49ers mightn’t compete.. Another wasted opportunity to get the sixth ring. Resignation and start thinking regarding the next season. Final result of 31-7. What a pity, proud of the team’s season, but with the bittersweet taste of wanting to know what would have happened if we had been able to compete face to face with that match.
