It’s probably the same story for many San Francisco 49ers and NFL fans when Week 1 of the NFL preseason rolls around — you’re excited leading up to the game (because it’s an actual football game) and can’t wait for the countdown to kickoff to end.
After the first quarter, though, you’re over it. You want it to be the regular season.
This is a pretty common sentiment. Preseason games don’t count, certainly not in the grand scheme of things. Case in point, the 2016 49ers went 2-2 in the preseason before going 2-14 in the regular season.
