This article was originally published on www.si.com/nfl/49ers as Kyle Shanahan Tempers Expectations for the 49ers this Season. For the past six years, the 49ers' goal was clear: Win the Super Bowl.

The 49ers’ win total in Las Vegas (but let’s be honest, it’s really just on your phone) is 10.5. That’s a clear expectation from bookies and the marketplace that the Niners are expected to be a playoff team this year. But even head coach Kyle Shanahan is pumping the brakes a bit.

The 49ers opened their preseason with a 30-9 loss against the Denver Broncos from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. While there was some good and bad for the 49ers from the preseason opener, most fans just wanted a look at some of the fresh faces and for San Francisco to get out of the contest mostly in one piece.
