Don’t see much of a chance against Philly, unless there is constant pressure from the get-go, the 49ers force some early turnovers, and the are-we-not-so-sucky O line can figure out how to pass protect. And run block. These two teams have had some interesting games over the years. I read a wonderful thing in the paper in that before last week’s loss to the Giants, the Iggles hadn’t given up 4 TDs in the air since Joe Montana dropped 5 TDs on Philly in 1989. 4 of those TDs of course came in the 4th quarter. Then there was the beat-down that Philly laid on SF in 1994 (40-8?), where Young went ballistic when George Seifert pulled him out of the game. The players themselves said it was the turning point of the season, and the Niners won 10 in a row, and closed the season 13-1 and went on to win the Super Bowl.
Recent history hasn’t been so kind. In 2005, Tim Rattay was chased and harassed to the tune of a 42-3 beat-down. In 2006, the Eagles ruined one of Alex Smith’s best days when he went 27 for 46, 293 yards, and one TD en route to a 38-24 loss. The 2008 debacle was the death knell for Mike Nolan. Going into the 4th quarter with a 9 point lead, Gore at 98 yards on the ground, and possession of the ball, the Niners (and JT O’Fuckmeagain) fumbled and pick-sixed their way to a demoralizing 40-26 loss. Gore had 6 yards rushing on 3 attempts, with the LEAD. This prompted the Nolan firing a week later, and the throttling of the pass-happy Mike Martz by Mike Singletary. 2009? Well, a 3 pick day by Alex sealed that game, a 27-13 ho-hum loss. Last year’s game was another close-but-not-quite loss. Alex had his only 300 yard game in his career, going 25 for 39, and 309 yards. However, he skipped a screen pass off Gore for a pick, and gave Philly 6 points on a misguided attempt to salvage a broken play. He instead fumbled and Philly took it to the house. Another close comeback thwarted by the misfortunes of the Singletary-led 49ers.
I’m not expecting miracles. I am hoping for better line play, continued improvement by the secondary, and some consistent drives. If the Niners can keep it low-scoring, thaey have a chance. A track meet doesn’t bode well.
Forty Niners Forever 
Get the jumbo pack of kleenex Eagles are gonna whine, bitch and moan all game esp. when they screw up like on the Rogers INT. Bitches…
I see it is run at all cost. and Fuck the pass
We bring in Kaep, but then we have to burn a TO.
Fire Harbaugh!
And then we run the ball up the gut on 3rd and 17. Fire Harbaugh!
No pass rush whatsoever. Blitz that mofo!
That was fucking pathetic. Learn how to tackle.
That was McDonald who missed that tackle. Let’s give ’em another contract extension.
Crabs for the first
Get a turn over and don’t score points, on the road, that is not good!! They need to at least put up 3
Passing the ball, what a concept
VD and Crabs, now that’s offensive!
The stats were correct on the Eagles D, they don’t blitz.
They rush their front 4 and play coverage.
So, Pass Protection what a concept! oh wait there was no pass protection.
Sorry, Alex apologists, but he held on to the ball way too long on that 3rd down.
He sucks.
WTF don’t the Niners ever throw the deep ball just like that?
Think it might be a QB issue?
Maybe if the Eagles rushed 3… WTF is that?
Bowman! Nice call
Great blitz by Bowman, timed it just right. He’s playing stellar football.
Did Chuck forget to set his alarm clock? Either that or he’s out riding dirk bikes about to bust up his knee and shoulder.
Bowman on the scfreen on the opening drive, and the blitzes, has been great. Borrks and McDonald whiffed badly on Vick.
Need a TD drive here. We can’t match TDs with FGs.
WTF is up with Andy Lee today? Is our MVP. Not a good day so far…
Boone for Davis please
