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 
Not feeling confident about our Secondary situation, and the deep threats Philly can throw at them.
Hoping our pass rush can negate the impact. Knowing our limitations, and the mobile QB ingredient,
Philly can run as well as utilize the short passing game to negate our pass rush.
Not seeing this as a gimme by any stretch,
I’m hoping to sqeak out an Offensive dual as well.
28-24 Niners.
I don’t think we will have any gimme games this year. It’s rubber hits the road time. Niner win today
The team is ‘optimistic’ that both Kinlaw and Armstead will play today.
We need all the help we can get out there.
A fast start is key.
Let’s see what happens. Any time they have to run the mediocre Dontae Johnson out there, my confidence dips. How that guy continually has a role on this team after all these years is beyond me. I’m sure he’s a lovely gentleman, but he sucks at football.
Ford and Bosa are going to have to get home consistently all day to keep that secondary from being exposed, not to mention containing yet another mobile QB.
They need to run the ball well today! And let’s hope Aiyuk contributes.
They are starting Josh Norman and Lenoir.
Adam Scheftler (sp) blames the Green Brier resort for the 49ers injuries that it’s cursed after injuries to Bosa/Thomas last year,Verrett,Greenlaw.Hey sometimes you just need to throw a story out there, but who knows maybe find a new pad in the future..
They aren’t getting hurt there. Not sure what the point of that article is.
Fuck running on 1st down.
We are running the exact same plays as last drive.
Not thrilled with the play calling so far.
Seriously, Shanahan, WTF. Our offensive genius isn’t looking too good so far. God forbid he throws the ball on first down.
No chance the Eagles are sitting on the run after Mitchell’s success last week. Just keep pounding it into the line, dude.
No pressure. Was that Armstead?
Some drops, 2nd game and the offense has the jitters?
This is the type of game where Kyle will consider playing Trey, why is JG struggling
Does Crapalo lead all QB’s in hanging his receivers out to dry with his shit high throws all the time?
He does it so often I’m thinking it’s part of his fucking game plan!!
This might get ugly. The 49ers look like shit.
Caught a break on that illegal touching penalty, then Jones and Kinlaw made some nice plays.
These little dink passes aren’t going to get it done
With the way the O is going, they need to go for this on 4th down
Jimmy sucks.
If he continues to miss open WR we will see Trey.
Shanny is a pussy. That was a scared call.
That block Sanu made is a penalty? What the fuck. And Garoppolo’s accuracy SUCKS.
Absolutely a pussy.
Good punt by Wishnowsky. Now get a fucking turnover.
Nice come back for the D,
Nice stand!
Fucking A. Williams with the coverage. Trey time.
Can’t believe it’s only 3-0? Totally outplayed but the Eagles have helped with stupid calls at the goaline!
Norman sucks, 2 big penalties,Lenoir who I like got burned too! Damm offense is offensive.Need Trey in there for a spark!!
Those are BS calls.
JG had better start completing passes and Kyle better start opening up the offense
Where the hell are plays to Kittle, one of your best offensive players
Horrible timemanagement
