Around these parts, many fans may tell you the season is a trainwreck if the 49ers don’t win every game (including their preseason contests). You can be a bit more modest and say not making the Super Bowl is an abysmal failure. In 2024, that was true—the 49ers were a Super Bowl team, but then Dial-A-Injury came to collect interest from 2023, along with a defensive coach in over his head, and a special teams coach that had been on the staff a few seasons too long.
It’s an understatement to say the 49ers' 6-11 record in 2024 was a disappointment.
