On Sunday afternoon, the 49ers fans reacted to the loss against the Dolphins. This is what some of the fans had to say on Twitter after the loss:

There are a lot of decisions that the San Francisco 49ers will have to make this offseason. Will they keep Kyle Shanahan as head coach of this football team or will they get rid of him? Also, will San Francisco sign quarterback Brock Purdy to a contract extension or will they sign another quarterback like Kirk Cousins or Sam Darnold?

This is going to be a very big offseason for San Francisco. General manager John Lynch will have a lot of decisions to make with his ball club.
