team. 42. The poor get even poorer with Chip Kelly and the 49ers, who were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs after suffering their 10th straight loss Sunday. Colin Kaepernick was booed off the field in Miami after suggestively-pro Fidel Castro remarks. While he was on the field, Kaepernick may have had his best game in years, throwing three touchdowns and rushing for 113 yards. The athleticism is there, but is the ability to adjust and love the game just as strong? Regardless, the 49ers may not win again this season with Kelly and Kaepernick in-charge, and fans should start investing in Deshaun Watson jerseys. <p>Next Week: Fans will have the opportunity to watch what may be the worst game all season when the 49ers travel to face the Bears. Matt Barkley will be matched against his old NFL coach Kelly, who drafted him in Philadelphia. Fan attendance has been declining at Soldier Field, and next week could set record lows in Chicago.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: Now mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, the 49ers will focus on which players are part of the future and who becomes expendable. A new quarterback is a given, and adding talent at the skilled positions is a must. This makes for an interesting couple of months in San Francisco.</p>. 1-10. Previous: . San Francisco 49ers. 31
