Eagles pass rush….
Philly punched the 9ers in the mouth. Philly is the reason why the 9ers lost their 2 QBs. They physically dominated the 9ers. No gifts about this game. Shanahan’s fault for not using a timeout to allow more time on Smith’s catch. 9ers offense did nothing to deserve to win this game.
Eagles first TD was a gift from the officials. And Niners were without Purdy. Eagles did not impress me today. Did not watch KC game.
Thank you.
How was it a gift? 9ers could have challenged that catch. Or called a timeout. Or been prepared.
Because Purdy being out was responsible for that “top rated defense” giving up 31 points? Umm, ok.Even while Purdy was in for the beginning of the game, the Eagles sliced through that offense like butter, and Purdy looked overwhelmed by what he was dealing with. Purdy doesn’t get injured, Eagles still win that game by a TD.
Not to argue but...
It’s definitely a very good and interesting game. I believe the Eagles offensive variety and their O line would have eventually worn down the 9ers. That D was good but it’s not hard to be good in the NFC West. The couple times they played actual good offensive teams, they were exposed. And that catch was not some sort of anomaly. Those things happen in most NFL games. Part of the game is knowing how to handle those situations. The Eagles did. I don’t think that discounts that TD. It’s all part of football. The Eagles responded. The 9ers didn’t.
That's the thing. They've been blah lately.
I understand your point but not sure how you differentiate legit vs non legit points. To me it’s all part of the game. The QB injuries were a result of the pass rush. Those statistics are cute, but mean little to me as the Eagles didn’t need to pass much since they were having success on the ground where your ypp will be less. Additionally, factor in the 4 or 5 qb sneaks they do and that will bring your average down too.
Niners were embarrassed. Their oline got their QBs killed. Bosa looked lost all day. All while Hurts played awful. No mention of Hurts missing Brown who was wide open downfield for a TD.
I think Philly did what they wanted to them, hence the results. Niners interior line has always been a weakness. Seattle & Dallas both had success vs them. Philly was just too physical. The result was comparable to an NFL team playing the best college team. They would have gotten pummeled.
In our NFC Championship threads I felt everything pointed towards Philly. Biggest problem was sending a rookie QB into Philly. I believe rookie QBs are now 0-5 in this spot.
I had Philly ML -136 and TT over 23.5. I hedged out on SF +6 because I thought after the 1st Philly TD drive (which should have ended with no TD) SF was the better team, even with Purdy out. Feel totally lucky to have won the TT over as I think Philly probably should have had around 17. SF fumble before half and subsequent TD was a great gift. Then the penalty on the punt and subsequent TD in 2H - just think getting the TT over was a lucky. But I'll take it.
