Good morning folks, and a happy game day to you. The 49ers host the Chicago Bears today in the penultimate game of the regular season - although the 49ers’ season will be over within a week, there’s plenty to pay attention to during this week and next. Due to unusually young nature of the team, combined with the amount of injuries pressing depth options into action, these next two games will offer the team, and us fans, a great opportunity to prepare for what the offseason may bring.
The youth movement has seemingly taken hold within the organization, with only two well-aged veterans, Joe Staley and Richard Sherman, locked in as unquestioned starters moving forward.
