This was, to me, the most frustrating year of the Shaw era. They have been pretty darn good at winning the tight games. Not this year  Still 9-5.  Good year. Just so close to being a great one.

Agreed.  We lost four games by a total of eleven points.

Makes me think of Garoppolo vs. Hoyer for the 49ers.  Until last weekend's big breakout, the 49ers were only averaging five more points per game with Garoppolo than Hoyer.  But they were five crucial points.  Under Hoyer, the 49ers were 1-9, but five of the losses were by three or fewer points.
