I love that the cult thinks Hurts decided that the 2nd and 18 call should be a run instead of a pass.

Really funny stuff.

QBs love runs on 2nd and 18.

Wouldn't that include making a stop with the lead at the end? Instead they gave up a huge TD drive. By definition, no, they didn't do enough.

Well hell then the offense should only have to score 3 every game if the defense does their job according to you

When did the offense do enough? The last two drives don't matter if the offense could do anything against a bottom 15 defense. There's a reason Shanahan is a respected coach, he does the opposite of our coaching staff which is scheme guys open. At least the defense put up some semblance of an effort

Provide to the discussion as to what makes him a great HC then? CEO? But can’t fix anything on either side of the ball when things go bad.

What is he great at? Legitimately, what does he do well? I can’t think of a thing he does well. So let’s hear it. Culture? Birds have always had a good culture as long as I can remember. So what is it?

Counter question, since you have all the answers? What did John Harbaugh do so well that let him remain the coach of the Ravens? How about Dan Campbell with the Lions?

Do you know? I'm just wondering.

The eagles really aren’t going into 2026 as the most talented team in the league anymore.

The QB is a below average passer. The OL has no RT. The defense will have a net efflux of talent for the second consecutive year.

And the biggest boost is usually the 2nd year players…and Campbell and Mukuba were pretty meh rookies.

They aren’t quite oozing with talent anymore.

I think Campbell played well and will only get better

I'm assuming the 1st round pick is going to RT

Though to be honest I'm worried about the long term health of Cam and Landon

Purdy threw two picks and padded his stats with like 100 YAC. I don't think we had a single completion beyond the LOS where there were any chances at YAC.

YAC often is a QB stat. Robinson and Jennings long catch and runs were great throws. Hurts didn’t give Shipley a good enough ball and basically tackled him. Purdy got to his fifth read on the game winning TD. Hurts threw into triple coverage with the game on the line.

There have been six years where I've felt we had a SB level teem during the year. Five of those went to the SB and only the 2002 season turned into a loss before the SB. This year was never a year that entered the group and at no time did I feel like the team was going to the SB. We were never a great team. Not at any point.

Can't believe that no one in this current trash Philly media couldn't ask him if he was going to consider any coaching changes at OC or on offense.

Cowards.

I don't think you can say he outplayed Purdy today. He played like crap today. He allowed a terrible defense to look good, made a bunch of poor decisions, just a poor performance today.

Purdy made like two good throws and threw two picks. The fact that it's even debatable shows the immense difference in quality between the coaching staffs.

Siri and Patullo have a crazy talented roster and Shanahan had nothing.

If Sirianni was fired he might not even get a HC interview. He's useless and he's been exposed as a fraud

But they did mean something. And they failed. Twice. It’s a team game. Don’t let them off the hook.

I will, there's no point discussing any more because the defense was the only part of the team doing anything the entire game and is the only reason we even played a game today

The 49ers best pass was from a WR.

Purdy was not awful as a whole in swirling winds but Shanahan schemed guys open for him all night.

Lamar exploded into the league

This is why I think Patullo and Johnson sucked:

Nick has said numerous times that each offensive coordinator runs his offense. He sets the frame work, and they build within that.

When you hire a Steichen or a Moore who were previously OC’s in different schemes, they’re able to add unique flares and wrinkles and ingenuity to Nick’s framework.

But when Nick hires from within, he’s elevating guys who only know what he knows. The offense becomes nothing more than the framework, basic and conservative as humanly possible.

Howie will get him to bring in a new guy with fresh ideas, and suddenly everyone will think Sirianni is a stud again

Probably. DE could also be in the mix

There's no A game when you have a bunch of amateurs coaching against professionals. They never put him in a position to succeed.

He outplayed Purdy tonight but the result is massively different because the Niners have professional coaches and we have asshats who belong in high school.

Hurts is not an all timer but he has clearly demonstrated that he's capable of playing at a very high level when put in position. Same as AJ and Saquon.

What the F were you watching? 😂😂

Nope just not look like a bunch of stiffs against JAGs and CMC. It was a totally uncharacteristic performance but the defense was poor tonight

While you watch and finger yourself

Don't even wait until Tuesday to fire Patullo. By noon tomorrow and schedule the fly in to interview and swoo Mike McDaniel before he considers signing with anyone else.

He made some nice plays and throws that were dropped. He wasn’t terrible. He finally runs and picks up a long first down and it’s called back for a hold. His OC is a joke. Purdy threw two picks. Purdy had receivers playing way above their level while Hurts had guys that couldn’t catch. Jalen wasn’t amazing but he wasn’t the reason they lost.

Hurts threw into triple coverage with the season on the line

That was a pretty bad sequence from him to end the game:

1st down: Half a second late in deciding to run - got caught from behind

2nd down: Escaped pocked way too early

3rd down: This was OK. Wasnt an easy catch but Smitty is capable of making those plays

4th down: Poor decision making throwing into triple coverage

Be nice if Hurts could throw a ball that got Yac. Hurts didn't outplay Purdy.

Legitimately sat on a 3 point lead.
