0:00.0	And this is how it ends.
0:07.0	The 49ers postseason hopes came crashing down on Thursday night, and for a team that was supposed to be in desperation mode,
0:15.0	the 49ers barely produced a whimper.
0:18.0	The defense rose to the occasion, but the offense looked stagnant as Brock Purdy
0:22.4	failed to lead a touchdown drive. Debo Samuel put the pressure on himself to produce, and he did

1:30.5	Because I just don't think he is somebody we should, you know, like his, the turning point
1:38.9	of the season might very well have been when Eric Kendricks, who they wanted to sign as a free agent and told
1:45.3	the four-handers he was going to sign with him, ended up changing his mind and going to Dallas,
1:49.6	and then the 49ers were stuck with Devondry Campbell.
