The San Francisco 49ers finished on a good note last year, winning all five of their final games in 2017 and entering this season with a slew of newfound optimism and hope.
A far cry from what Niners fans everywhere experienced the past few years before.
All this has led to the idea San Francisco could be a serious playoff contender this season. To do that, general manager John Lynch and Co. had to transform what were once glaring weaknesses on the team into notable strengths.
It’s safe to say Lynch has done a good job going about it all.
