The 49ers’ season has been excruciating, taxing, frustrating, and, above all, disappointing.
The Niners have only themselves to blame for that.
But wouldn’t it make things easier if the Niners could blame someone else?
Perhaps the most annoying aspect of this season from hell is the fact that the bar turned out to be set so low.
Of course, the 49ers entered this season with firm “Super Bowl or bust” aspirations and an arrogance that such a standard would be easily achievable.
