List of San Francisco 49ers seasons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from San Francisco 49ers seasons)
This is a list of seasons completed by the San Francisco 49ers American football franchise of the National Football League (NFL). The list documents the season-by-season records of the 49ers' franchise from 1946 to present, including postseason records, and league awards for individual players or head coaches. The San Francisco 49ers began play in 1946 as charter members of the All-America Football Conference.
The 49ers won XVI, XIX, XXIII and XXIV, and Super Bowl XXIX
The franchise has experienced major periods of success in their history from the early 1980s to the late 1990s, During this period, they had 16 straight winning season (all with 10 wins or more), they played in five Super Bowls, winning all five of them, and winning a total of 16 playoff games.
The 49ers have also experienced failure in their history. When the 49ers joined the NFL after the AFL-NFL merger in 1950, they never won a division or conference title, and only finished as high as second once from 1950-1969, and after winning three consecutive division titles from 1970-1972, they would return to losing in 1973 capturing only one winning season for the rest of the decade. The only period, if any, that comes close to challenging this period of failure is the 49ers 2003–2010 playoff drought. This drought finally came to an end when the 49ers finally won their division with a 13-3 record in 2011
