Coach Jim Harbaugh finished his first season with the 49ers do not believe, and stop and reflect, and wriggled his way through a vacant stare, and the search for the words that seem lost in the fog of his staff.
Director-General Baalke Trent, and also in his first season as a man walking around outside the waiting room. Walked on a treadmill, in the locker room and out and in again
Detailed players, was more pronounced. Moved most of them deliberately, with sunken eyes, muscle zombies staggering about this dress warm and full of missing people.
After losing the game in the championship NFC 20-17 in overtime of the resources of the New York Giants 49, almost a man, and was stunned in a familiar place and time.
"I was not there for us today," said Harbaugh.
"You're in disbelief," said defender Patrick Willis. "It's like nothing happens, and I can not believe what actually happened."
At this point, for the 49ers can not feel anything. It was everything that is known for sure that the Giants were ahead in the Super Bowl, while wandering in the team's headquarters on Monday to clean your closets and say goodbye and results in two weeks offseason now than he had imagined.
"Very angry about losing," said left tackle Joe Staley. "To be very close ... just wanted to not go with him."
Staley and "sure" of 49 to find a way. This was a consensus that in some way
"With the game plan we had, we thought we were going to win," defensive processing Ricky Jean-Francois. "So, yes, we are shocked. I was surprised too."
There was considerable support for Kyle Williams, a backup hunting, and pressure at work starting at the same time replacing the kick / punt returner Ted Williams Jr. Jane muff punt in the fourth quarter, leading to a decline linked to New York, and looked for another in terms that were placed in the position of the Giants to start field goal to win.
But it was clear that all his time outside the 49er uniform post this season, Harbaugh and Baalke, was struggling to keep his chin.
This is what happens when you win 14 of 17 matches, and shed quite a lost culture. Pain of defeat is visible, audible, but barely. Loss of a shock to the system.
This credit for the work of Harbaugh, who in the team's reconstruction of collective self-esteem also to rebuild his character.
It does not matter that comes up quickly now, the third in the NFC West in 2010, on the eve of Super Bowl next season. It was not the quarterback Alex Smith to revive a career that many recognized the bust, or that the enormous potential for this defense continued to punish production.
The 49ers are struggling not only with the loss of the team that survived the 13th of November at Candlestick Park, but also with the sudden separation of the season to return. Some speak.
"No, I'm not going to talk tonight," said Baalke warmly when asked about his reaction. "Maybe later this week."
Defensive lineman Justin Smith, of the 49 is equipped with some thinking beyond the moment, and called for a minimum of perspective.
"We got to play in the championship NFC", he said. "This gives us something to build and come back. I hope we can return to it and win, and get to the end."
Harbaugh certainly was not prepared to accept that vibrates. It would be premature. This is the man who last week admitted that he did not take this task on board a slow boat to row in the playoffs. There was a plan for three years, not five-year plan. Said Harbaugh, the screams and the confidence, the idea is to cultivate continuous improvement that leads to consistent winning.
Do not place loose in the future, but now. For this purpose as he did so, the game tight all the time, extra time, and decided by the shifts - something carefully avoided 49ers Harbaugh - means the acceptance will take time.
"In many ways, we played well enough to win," he said. "We do not come with it." S will be difficult, but is likely to take some time to get more, but we will overcome them.
"They played with all my heart. Disappointment it does not leave with the satisfaction of victory."
What are these came with the 49ers is the new contestants learn the lesson, which is the postseason, where years of suffering, which usually precedes the moment of orgasm.
As for Harbaugh, Well, you're right. To get the most from it. Will get more than that. It will take time.
