The 49ers use the scars from recent playoff losses as fuel this season

Associated Press  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The pain from crushing playoff losses never fully goes away for the San Francisco 49ers. The part that sucks is you can’t just blink and you’re right back into having an opportunity to go back and do it again.” The 49ers came into the season talking about returning to this stage and finally getting over the hump to deliver the franchise its sixth Super Bowl title but first since the 1994 season. After missing the playoffs in an injury-filled 2020 season, the 49ers returned in 2021 and made it back to the NFC title game where they held a 17-7 lead in the fourth quarter. San Francisco then went into last year’s title game on a 12-game winning streak and full of confidence that was shattered as soon as Purdy’s elbow got hurt on the opening drive. Hey, let’s just stay healthy and just go play football.” The Niners are mostly healthy right now with only two of their Week 1 starters — safety Talanoa Hufanga and defensive end Clelin Ferrell — expected to miss the game on Saturday.
