Well the Chiefs are the last chance at beating the Niners this year so hopefully they get the job done. Niners have been to 3 straight NFC Championship games finally winning and advancing to the Super Bowl this year. Niners will have played 60 games between regular season and postseason over the course of the last three years. That’s more than anyone in football. Deep playoff runs take their toll eventually. I think if the Niners come up short this season they could potentially have missed their window completely. If by chance they beat the Chiefs they will have to deal with some of the issues that Super Bowl winners deal with yearly like players retiring or considering retirement. Free agent losses. Coaching losses etc. There’s a reason that teams haven’t been able to repeat as champions in the NFL. The attrition of the long season along with outside pressures that teams are not ready for take their toll. You have to wonder about veteran players like Trent Williams and George Kittle as they both are getting up there in years and might be considering retirement. How much longer can CMC carry this team as running backs shelf life is limited and they have rode that horse for the last season and a half. Gurley was great until all of a sudden he wasn’t.
