31. San Francisco 49ers 1-6 (31)

Remember when the San Francisco 49ers started off the season with an impressive 28-0 win over the Los Angeles Rams? Unfortunately, that was the last time the 49ers won as Chip Kelly‘s squad has been one of the biggest disappointments from the first half of the 2016 season, and it doesn’t look like they’re going to get better any time soon.

The bye couldn’t have come at a better team for San Francisco as this team currently sits at the bottom of the NFC West after losing six in a row. Not even replacing Blaine Gabbert with Colin Kaepernick was good enough to help this team, as the 49ers’ offense simply just doesn’t have any effective weapons in the passing game.

With upcoming games against the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals, the defense could be facing plenty of trouble over the next two weeks, which means San Francisco’s offense will need to come up big if they’re going to have any chance at ending their losing streak. And with the way the offense has been playing, the chance of the 49ers coming up big is highly unlikely, as their losing streak doesn’t seem like it’s going to end any time soon.
