Social media detectives believe they’ve uncovered the very moment where Nick Bosa cursed himself and the San Francisco 49ers in what has been a disastrous 2024 season.
Nick Bosa and the 49ers entered 2024 with sky-high expectations, having barely lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime of Super Bowl 58. But Thursday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams dropped San Francisco to 6-8, essentially ending any realistic hopes of making the postseason.
The 49ers have to win out to have any chance, and even that feels unlikely given how they’ve played this year. The Rams (8-6) and Seattle Seahawks (8-5) are both in contention for the NFC West division crown, and at least one of them is guaranteed a winning record since they meet again in Week 18.
After the 49ers lost, social media detectives pointed out that the 49ers have gone 2-4 since Nick Bosa endorsed Donald Trump with a “Make America Great Again” hat following the team’s Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Whether you’re superstitious or not, what’s not up for debate is the 49ers’ record since that Week 8 game against Dallas. But Nick Bosa’s production hasn’t exactly waned; as he has 2.5 sacks over the three contests he’s played since endorsing Trump.
Bosa was fined $11,255 by the NFL for violating their rules regarding the display of a personal message and non-sponsored brand.
Nick Bosa’s 49ers Have A Lot To Sort Through In 2025
There have been calls for the 49ers to move on from head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch, but that feels unlikely given the team’s success under their leadership.
The team must decide on wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who’s entering the last year of his contract. Quarterback Brock Purdy is entering the final season of his rookie deal, but he hasn’t played well enough to justify a significant long-term contract extension.

After the 49ers’ loss that all but ended their postseason hopes, Shanahan was asked why De’Vondre Campbell went to the locker room after the first half. Shanahan revealed that the former All-Pro told the coaching staff he simply wished not to play.
“He said he didn’t wanna play today,” Shanahan said. “That was in the third quarter.”
In a follow-up comment, Shanahan said they’ll figure out what to do with De’Vondre Campbell, adding that there was no “need to talk about him anymore.”

Campbell was released by the Packers in a cap-saving move back in March. He didn’t stay on the free agent market for long, as the 49ers scooped him up just days after the Packers let him go.
De’Vondre Campbell Has Had A Frustrating Year With 49ers
Campbell was a key contributor on the Packer defense for three years, but they would never bring him back on the contract he previously signed. It felt like a coup for the 49ers when they got him on a bargain deal, but Campbell hasn’t come as advertised.
The former All-Pro had just two pass breakups, no interceptions or forced fumbles and zero sacks. It obviously hasn’t worked out in San Fran, so don’t be surprised if Campbell is released by Friday morning.
