No matter what walk of life you’re in; everybody likes to be right. In a business like this, where the receipts are posted for all the world to see, we especially like to be right. Unfortunately, in sports and life, that is often not the case. However, rather than run from our failures, we’re embracing them. Here, and in today’s Niners Nation Shanaplan Podcast with Kyle Posey and Akash Anavarathan, we’re looking back at where we went wrong with our 2020 Bold Predictions.
The Cowboys Rivalry Returns in 2020
Oof. Where to begin on this one. Instead of a possible battle for the number one seed between two of the NFL’s most iconic franchises, we saw a skirmish between Nick Mullens and Andy Dalton. To add insult to injury, the NFL flexed the game out of Sunday Night Football and banished it to the anonymity of the 10 AM early games.

You never stay the same.” While Harbaugh may be long gone, that philosophy is common in the 49ers’ locker room and all across the league.

Chris Simms Unbuttoned podcast exactly where he wants to be better in 2021.

Coming off the team’s 6-10 season, changes will be made on and off the field to make an attempt for the sixth Lombardi trophy in franchise history, some of which will be good and some of which will be bad. Multiple people within the 49ers organization, players and non-players, could be looking to make progressions in their career that will help them become better individuals at their craft. Whether it be free agents leaving for a pay raise, players looking for a change of scenery or coaches looking for promotions, the 49ers have people within the organization that will be looking for these very things, and based on the work and productions they have put in the past few seasons, they a

For the four teams left in the playoffs, this is a great time of year. For the fans of the other 28 NFL franchises, not so much. One thing that does make a postseason without the 49ers palatable is the abundance of mock drafts that permeate every corner of NFL Twitter. While most of what we’ve seen has the 49ers taking either a quarterback or a cornerback in the first round, one man has dared to be different. And that man is NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah.
