Amazingly, the team bus didn’t crash on the way to the airport today and injure half the team. Instead, the team arrived safely in Philadelphia after spending the week in West Virginia. Because, well who knows? Maybe they got a little rafting in. Beats all the flying and possible plane related injuries.
Anyhow, on to the game. The betting line on the Eagles this year is 6.5. Pretty fucking low, and I bet no one had them beating the Falcons. Which they did pretty handily 32-6. Then again, the Falcons win number is 7.5. We are 10.5 for those of you counting. I’m not too knowledgeable about the Iggles. Just that Jalen Hurts looked pretty good last year, and now this year, he has a stable of very fast WRs. Including the Heisman winner Devonta Smith. Do they run well? Doubt it. Is their defense any good?
We of course have a lot of injuries. Emmanuel Moseley still hasn’t played, Jason Verrett is done for the year, and we have some lukewarm bodies we signed in Dre Kirkpatrick and Josh Norman to fill the gaps. Both excellent signings. In 2014. Dontae Johnson has been yoyoed, cut, practice squadded, and jerked around so many times, they are calling him boomerang.
And that’s my worry. That they are going to come out throwing early and throwing often. Which puts pressure on our fragile DEs in Bosa and Ford. I know they got a lot of rest last week, but they will make up for it today. We usually struggle with mobile QBs, and that was when we HAD Dre Greenlaw. AA could be out as well, so we are depending on a lot of backups, like Azeez Al Shaair, Kent Street, and Diminius Finnius-Farfignugen (whatever his name is) and Marcell Harris. Oh yeah, he’s questionable as well. Me?
So, the offense needs to get off toa fast start. Our run game looked decent enough last week, and the passing game played well enough, but I would like to see more play-action on 1st down. This game looks to be a track meet, and we need an early lead to force the action. Make them play from behind.
I think this is another high-scoring affair, and I think we should prevail given our offensive firepower.
38-27 Niners.
Forty Niners Forever 
When will Kyle learn?
So let’s see how many run plays are called, I bet not one pass
I bet this is 3 and out
Never underestimate Kyle Shanahan’s ability to fuck up a 4th quarter lead.
They are letting the D rest, juice was up and drinking get off the field
Better to be lucky than good?
And how many years to the 49ers have to play guys like Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray before they figure out how to play mobile QB’s?
Another huge sneak by JG!
There is just as much of a chance of a fumble as a interception, constantly running the ball and saying prayers is not going to win games
It did today.
That really was a war of attrition, but it’s a win. That’s a tough Eagles team.
It was a good win. Getting out of Philly is a good win also.
2 brutal road games 2 brutal wins!
Get out of the east coast boys and let’s get home and win the opener!! And ferchrissakes bubble wrap the players till then lol 😂
Sermon took a real shot to the head. That looks like a concussion. And Hasty hurt his ankle on his fumble play. There may not be many of these guys left in a few games. They’re dropping like flies.
Thhhe hope is, at least with Hasty is that he’s not too badly hurt.
Getting killed by penalties and reviews. Mitchell TD taken away. Just lost that play to Mike Williams. Dak doing nothing vs SD.
Chargers getting murdered by penalties.
This Charger Cowboys game has had some horrible calls. Like they are in Jerry Jerk-off’s
pocket.
Down goes Seattle!! AZ should have lost well.
TN stormed back in that one, down 24-9 at the half. I fucking love Derrick Henry. Seattle had him bottled up in the first half, but they just keep pounding him and eventually the D wears down and he starts popping long ones. Best back in the game, IMO. Tannehill looked good too.
Wow. Crazy 4th quarter in the Balt/KC game. Helaire fumbles with 1:20 left and Balt up 1.
Harbaugh goes on 4th and one on their own 44 yard line. Got to say, that is a balls-out call.
Jackson gets it, ballgame.
My thoughts exactly at the time. They don’t make it and the Chiefs have about 10 yards to go for the GW FG attempt. I wonder what Shanahan would’ve done.
I’d like to think now that we have Alex Mack, Shanny would be amenable to the sneak. 5 QB sneaks worked yesterday.
New thread is up.
