San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke is gone. And the Niners wrapped up an abysmal 2016 campaign with a 25-23 defeat at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17 at Levi’s Stadium.

The 49ers finish with a 2-14 record for the fourth time in franchise history, the last time coming in 2004.

That year, San Francisco ushered in a slew of offseason changes following an ugly debacle. And one can only wonder what will take place between now and Week 1 of the 2017 season.

Still, there was a game played and one which the Niners had a chance to win.

On paper, there was little for which San Francisco was playing. With the Cleveland Browns also losing, the Niners could get no higher than the second overall pick in the NFL Draft. And the 49ers weren’t going to fall any lower, based on strength of schedule.

But Seattle had playoff-seeding implications on the line.

So, for the last time this season, Niner Noise gives you the good, bad and ugly from San Francisco’s efforts.

And we can only hope next year’s series goes a lot better than what was seen over the course of this year.
