SANTA CLARA — On Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan explained to reporters his message to the 49ers, how he plans to motivate them going forward and his goals for the rest of the season.
This was necessary because although the 49ers season isn’t officially over yet, it’s over.
Their record is 1-4. They’re beat up. And they just lost at home by 10 points to the Arizona Cardinals, who were winless and generally considered the worst team in the NFL. Now, the 49ers may be the worst team. They’re in the discussion.
Next Monday, they will play on the road against the Green Bay Packers, who are 10-point favorites.
