Honestly I only care about the current season or if we are out of it the upcoming season. We've made quite a few changes and Im excited to see how this plays out.

The thing that I see maddening is this...... during JG's wasted tenure the 49'ers had a 5 year span where they were rebuilding. JG could never get Dallas past the 1st round while the 49'ers have now gone to 4 NFC championships and 2 super bowls.

Jerry, you suck. You should have fired JG many years ago, but your death grip on the franchise was more important than winning.

We’re lucky Philly best us or Garrett would still be our coach. It’s a shame it took so long but for the first time in many years I feel hopeful.

We might not have made the championship, but we had a 'heck of a coach' !

Garrett came before championships .

What's "impressive" is how Garrett avoided losing seasons and playoff seasons at the same time.
4 8-8 seasons, 1 9-7 season for a combine 0 playoff games.

They finished 1st in yards and 6th in points.

Offense wasn't this team's biggest problem.

Depends how you look at it. The offense had the investment and the players. We lost multiple games by using it poorly. Using the offense more effectively would have been the most high impact correction to the team.

Counterpoint, I don't care about it, because Conference Championship appearances mean absolutely nothing.
They mean you are at least putting out a competitive team that has a chance to get to the Super Bowl. For example, if we had made it to the conference championship this past season it would be a lot easier to go into this season thinking we are a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Thanks Jerry for giving us a novice HC for a decade.

It's been frustrating watching the Steelers, 49ers, Packers and other legacies find their mojo again while we sit in Playoff mediocrity. The Giants and Eagles having their seasons too. But I think I'll truly lose it if Washington manages to fix their sinking ship before us.

A graphical representation of what we’re already aware of doesn’t really move the needle for me. This franchise is remarkably unaccomplished during this period.

Yet many of us could see that Garrett needed to be fired just like many of us can see that overpaying Dak doesnt give this team the best chance to win.

Sad graphic indeed. What's worse? How many of those 'not pictured' were #1 seeds going into the postseason? Dallas ...twice, once in 2007, and the other in 2016. Also made it to the divisional round on the road in '09, '14, and '18. Basically had more chances than those other teams.

Whether it was coaching, the players, bad luck, or whatever, it is what it is. I've been a big critic of JJ, but the fact is this team was in position to make a legit playoff run in 5 of the last 13 seasons. Or at least 2 (with the #1 seed).

Translation: the roster was there. Now, with not having a championship defense in 25 years, I'm not sure we would have won a SB. But we could have gotten there. Hell, if the Raiders could make it in 2002 or whenever, we could have too.
