Hats off to the 49ers…

PLAYERS: Kyle Williams,  Aldon Smith,  Justin Smith,  Jim Harbaugh
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers

This loss still hurts. I’ve had a little time to put aside the ill will I have towards Kyle Williams. So I just wanted to write a quick post about how great this season was. 14-4, hosted the NFC Championship game. Made it one score away from the Super Bowl and all of this done with a rookie head coach with no offseason, a quarterback almost everyone labeled a bust, and other bits and pieces it seemed no other teams wanted. I’m proud to be a 49ers fan today. They played their asses off all season and the future can only get better. The defense should stay intact, Aldon Smith is only going to get better and you can’t keep Justin Smith off the field. The offense just needs a couple more pieces, mainly some playmaking WR’s. But the beauty of it is Jim Harbaugh, he’ll get this team here again and next time it will lead to Number 6. So hats off to all the 49ers who played their asses off this season. You made us proud and I’m so ready for the offseason...
