Any options for the 49ers to go through to play-offs?

They aren't eliminated but they are 2 games behind in the division right now and don't have the tiebreaker currently (although they could have the tiebreaker pending how the rest of the season plays out). So they would need to win their last 4 games and have the other teams slip up and all end up with the same or worse divisional record.
It's feasible but unlikely. I may do a post later this week about how all NFC West teams could finish 9-8 overall and 3-3 in the division and we would be in tiebreaker chaos.

I think that you mentioned in a previous episode of the podcast that towards the end of the regular season, 49ers could recover some key players and have some options. So after beating the Bears, I thought that your predictions were getting closer..

Let’s put it this way. The Rams beat the Bills, but the 49ers couldn’t. Case closed!

That did occur.

I see, I watched the Bills vs Rams for a while and was entertaining

If they win the rest of their games, they'd almost certainly get in. The problem is that they have a really tough schedule and have already lost a bunch of potential tiebreakers.

They could still lose one more. Although unlikely there is a path to all 4 teams finishing 9-8 and 3-3 in the division which would be wild. I was telling carresan I might do a post later in the week about how that could play out. Probably Wednesday or Thursday as it might not be relevant after Thursday Night.
