The San Francisco 49ers closed out the 2016 season with a 25-23 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17.

San Francisco wraps up this disappointing year with a 2-14 record. And while the year is yet another Niners embarrassment, the bigger story was the scheduled firing of general manager Trent Baalke and, likely, head coach Chip Kelly.

Baalke confirmed his pending firing via KNBR 680 and wished San Francisco the best moving forward.

And yet there was a game to be played. With the Cleveland Browns losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Niners were guaranteed the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Still, the 49ers could have helped thwart Seattle’s playoff seeding in the postseason.

But the Atlanta Falcons’ victory over the New Orleans Saints ensured the Seahawks wouldn’t get the No. 2 seed in the NFC anyway.

So, for the final time this season, Niner Noise has your postgame grades and analysis for San Francisco’s effort.

Let’s take a look as we gear up for a plethora of changes in Santa Clara this offseason.
