After overcoming numerous injuries, the San Francisco 49ers' season came to an abrupt end with a commanding 41-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
It was telling from the opening kickoff that the team did not have enough to compete with the NFC West champions, as it was tough for the Niners to get a consistent offense going, especially without their All-Pro tight end, George Kittle.
Obviously, whenever a team is fresh off elimination, many negative things could be said out of emotion, but that was not the case for quarterback Brock Purdy or for any member of the 49ers, for that matter.
Purdy was asked post-game if he believes the team has enough to win a Super Bowl in the near future, to which the franchise quarterback responded.

"I believe we have the right guys, obviously, it didn't end the way we wanted it to. I feel like our backs were against the wall really all season with guys going down, but we always found a way, so I think once we're 100 percent and feel good about ourselves and learn, we'll be just fine," Purdy stated.
Given the adversity the team faced all season, and its defeat of the defending champions on the road in the wild-card round, what Purdy is saying isn't far-fetched, considering that the last time San Francisco was fully healthy, it made a Super Bowl appearance.
This is the only time the Niners will do this offseason to improve the team, but depending on what they do, there is no doubt that with a healthy roster, they will likely be in the mix to make a deep run next year.
