This was the first year of a major slide for the 49ers. It wouldn't be until 1981 and Bill Walsh's 49ers that things would finally turn around and they'd become a championship franchise.

They would have a winning season in 1976, giving them a brief break from the losing.

The Forty Niners were the team in the Crossroads and Hard/Trying Times... but by the time the Niners return to the winning season and the Super Bowl in 1981, The High Times emerged and became the Super Bowl team of the decade...... including January, 1995 Super Bowl title against the San Diego (now Los Angeles) Chargers........
But 1973-79, plus 1980 season, did became the rest of the decade as known as the "Hard Times" decade, before Joe Montana and Bill Walsh arrived in 1979( but still 2-14 by season ended that year)...
