Well, that was infinitely satisfying. Sure, it doesn’t replace last year’s NFCCG loss, but Philly lost their last game last year, so ha fucking ha. Both teams were in the same boat Super Bowl-wise. We just showed the NFC East just how overrated they are. We did to Philly what we did to Dallas. And that was to drop a 42 spot on them and beat them into the ground with little doubt as to who’s better.
As ugly as that start was, I was very happy the defense held Philly and Hurts to 2 field goals. Very reminiscent of the bad old Singletary days when we would control the clock for29 minutes of the 1st half and kick 2 FGs only to give up a TD late and be instantly behind. Purdy and the offense got off to a slow start, but the last 5 possessions resulted in 6 touchdowns. Domination.
Mooney Ward had another big game, Philly hit some quick slants early, but the relentless pressure and the coverage did their job to keep the big plays to a minimum.
The D was solid all over the field, even with the early bending but not breaking. Dre Greenlaw is really becoming the Draymond Green of the 49ers with his overly aggressive play. But, fuck it. He’s a guy I want on my team every day all the time and three times on Sunday. Thrown out for a finger-poke? Lame. And the refs threw out the sideline schlub and called it even? Please. Fucking joke.
The best response to all that bullshit was our quick strike TD to Deebo. CMC was out-of-this world yet again as Shanahan fianlly remembered after the `1st quarter that he has the leading rusher in the NFL. He will go down as the greatest in-season trade in NFL History, just ahead of the Fred Dean trade in the 1981 season.
But this scenario has worked out just like I wanted it to. For Dallas to beat the Seahawks, us to eat the Beagles, and for next week’s Philly/Dallas game to become eminently important to Dallas, as they could take control of the NFC East AND give us the #1 seed.
Bring it on!
