"It seems ridiculous to even bring up the 49ers’ playoff chances when they have proven to be such a flawed team through 10 games of the regular season.

Coach Kyle Shanahan is the person most responsible for the team underachieving at such an epic level. He’s the head coach and the offensive mastermind.

But the offense has sputtered at the most inopportune times this season. So where does the team go from here?

That’s what’s on the minds of the 49ers’ fan base — as expressed via the Bluesky social network:"

To start, this claim is totally opinionated about whether Kyle Shannon is on the Hot Seat, but I believe he isn't. He has been the coach for the 49ers since 2017 and has led them to four winning seasons and two Super Bowls. Even though they are currently 5-7 and in last place in the NFC West, the 49ers GM just told the media "I've found the whole situation rather comical."(NFL.com)  He later went on to say that Kyle is an excellent coach and is 100% behind him. The GM also said this season isn't at all Kyle Shannon's fault with the 49ers dealing with so many injuries and setbacks. Hopefully, for 49er fans and Kyle's sake, they can figure it out with 5 games to go and make the playoffs and all this chatter will immediately go away.
