The San Francisco 49ers play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and it's not a stretch to say that the season is effectively over if they don't win the game. Some will already tell you that the season is up, and it's hard to disagree with them. Of course, what to do when a season is "lost" remains up for debate as well, with some suggesting tanking is the best, and others just wanting to see the team play well.
I'm in that latter category. I said before the season that I thought the 49ers would be fine this year and while they have certainly underwhelmed and surprised in all the wrong ways, I think there are still some quality wins on the table.
