It was a disappointing end to the night and an end to the season for the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks pummeled the Niners in Seattle 41-6 dashing the faithful’s hopes their team would make it home for the Super Bowl.

After halftime, the crowd thinned at Kezar Pub, and a few faithful people stuck it out to watch the painful loss and an end to the Niners season. “It sucked, and you’re right, we did stay until the end, and it’s terrible, it sucks,” said John McCormick of San Francisco. “I’m like heart broken, devastated,” added Daisy Agers of San Francisco.
