Key Points:
- The San Francisco 49ers suffered a 35-point playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, marking the second-largest margin in franchise playoff history, with head coach Kyle Shanahan urging not to overemphasize the defeat.
- The team’s lack of speed, especially on the perimeter and in the back-7, was evident, contrasting sharply with previous seasons when faster players like Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel were on the roster; this deficiency impacted offensive separation and defensive coverage.
- The 49ers need to invest in their interior offensive line, as playoff games exposed struggles against elite defensive tackles, highlighting the urgency to find a starting left guard, likely through the NFL Draft, given limited free agent options.
- A blue-chip player
