Well, this improbable season got even more improbable as the out-manned 49ers overcame a tough Philly defense, Saquan running all over us, Kittle being lost for what looks like a long time, and two flat awful picks by Purdy.

CMC had proved his worth 2x his weight in gold as he caught 2 passes, one an absolute stud play on the Jennings flea flicker that stunned the Philly crowd. The run game wasn’t there, but they did enough late to keep the chains moving.

Purdy? Well, losing all your weapons, and not having Kittle for most of it, proved to be tough. His picks were simply poor throws. The line actually played fairly well, and gave him time. But in the end he made the throws, Robinson had his best game as a Niner, Jennings had his one big 45 yard play, and an absolute dime thrown to CMC, and the offense started out on fire with a couple huge gainers to take the early lead.

It was a little hard for me to enjoy this as the 1st half went on seeing the soft zone give up 3rd downs. Yet another 3rd and 15 was given up. Well 14 yards and a tush push, but Saleh adjusted, putting 5 on the line in the 3rd and slowed the run game. Nick Sirianni obliged by trying to run against our adjustment and we slowed them down through most of the 2nd half, outscoring them 13-6.

Stick a feather in Shanahan’s cap for overcoming a 1st half deficit, and overcoming a 16-10 Philly lead in the 4th quarter.

Back we go to Seattle. Gonna be a dogfight.
