Here we are, once again meeting Philly in the playoffs. Last time of course saw the mercurial rise and devastating crash of Brock Purdy in his rookie season as he came from running the scout team to leading the 49ers into the NFC Championship game.
That ended badly of course as Purdy didn’t get through his second possession. Now? Well, it’s all about the defense. The Eagles defense is about as far away from the Seahawks defense as Seattle is from Philly. They don’t defend the run particularly well, but they don’t allow a lot of points. And with Trent Williams back, the hope is CMC can break off some nice chunk yard runs.
Ricky Pearsall is another matter. He’s a game-time decision. What diff he would have made last week is hard to guess as Purdy had about 0.75 seconds to get his passes off. Why Shanny didn’t adjust to the relentless rush by running slants and quick passes baffles me no end. And all y’all screming about getting 2 TE sets in there is also a valid beef. Then again, how many times can I rail against the soft zone on 3rd down?
Hard to be confident in this game. At least for me. Despite the trials and tribulations overcome this season with all the (once again) injuries and BA turmoil, unexpected wins and crushing losses, I just don’t think we can get over the hump. Then again, this team has zigged a lot this year when I thought they would zag. As they say, one game at a time.
Maybe leave this one up to the football gods. Shanahan certainly doesn’t have the greatest record vs Vic (remember me?) Fangio.
Forty Niners Forever 
Big opportunity here. Get Tonges going.
Right.
Big Dumb babysitting Sirianni again.
Emotional pre-teen.
Shanny running the prevent offense,
THe run game is going nowhere so Shanny runs on 1st down.
Kittle with an achilles injury. Fuck.
Bourne didnt know the play, so many times this year he’s done that.
Damn Kyle call to plays, in the huddle
Fucking wasted 20 seconds to throw the ball away,
Jennings that time.
Well maybe if they didn’t dick around burning extra seconds before Purdy’s scramble they get off a FG attempt!!
Kittle done for the year and most of next year, Achilles. Tig Brown has a hammy, probably done for the rest of this game.
Injury after injury.
Oh and Malik Turner who hasn’t caught a ball in 5 freaking years and it showed on his easy catch can keep his jacket on the rest of the game! Overall like Blade mentioned their still hanging in the game..
AJ Brown off to the Patriots next year book it,No way Sirianni and him can coexist..
We are going to see a lot of Tonges now. He might be the heir apparent to Kittle.
can anyone explain why that was a 10 second run off? The ball landed ob. Dead ball there.
They said by rule inside the 2 min it’s a 10 sec run off, or something like that.
Great stop, let’s go O
Irony, now he plays 2 TE but Farrell missed his block
And then a pass.
Play Tonges and Robinson for goodness sakes.
Retarded play
Derp. They have everyobe up close so, throw passes behind the line.
Purdy probably couldn’t even see over Philly’s line, i.e., a “blind” pass. SMH . . .
Can’t afford to turn it over.
what the actual fuck?
And what was Purdy looking at other than Mitchell’s jersey number?Jennings was wide open on a slant in the middle?Damm just self inflicted mistakes.,
And yet their only down a FG go figure?
uh oh. 3rd and long
