I dunno. Maybe they won't be as bad as last year. But it sure looks to me like the Superbowl window is closed. They lost Deebo, Hufanga, Ward, Hargrave, Collins and Juszczyk. They signed backups at TE, RB and S. Aiyuk is on the trade block. If they keep him who knows how he's gonna come back from a major knee injury. He wasn't very good before the injury. Perhaps the holdout hurt his training?
I think at best they'll be a borderline .500 type team. The one thing in their favor is they have a last place schedule. Thats 3 games where they play last place teams while we play first place teams from those divisions. I still think they'll struggle to win 9 games. Purdy showed he only excels when things around him are good. And they won't be as good as they were before last year.
