Some of th elost games is that they have had guys with injury histories -- guys who have been hurt before are more likely to get hurt again for a variety of reasons (think about how normal folks if they twist their right ankle end up overstressing the other parts of the right leg or their left leg or back to compensate).
Bosa had to have core muscle surgery in college. Tore one ACl in 2020. Sprained other PCL 2024 and then tore the ACL in the knee with the bad PCL.
Kittle college problems. has had leg or groin injury that cost at least one game in 6 seasons , plus a shoulder injury and a core muscle surgey.
Ricky Pearsall had injury issues in college
Jauan Jennings has had multiple issues with ankles and shoulders. Had 5 ribs cracked
Trent Williams is on the worng side of 30 and and has had ankle problems in 3 straight seasons.
CMC has had major ankle issues since 2020 -- great player when healthy but many think that his playing style and size mean that he is a perpetual injury risk.
The 49ers gambled on a bunch of guys with significant injury history and they have gotten burned -- not as bad as last year, This is a risk management problem not a conspiracy theory problem.
People have complained about the fields the 49ers play on.
