I know what you mean. My mom and I texted a lot during games. I'd always get a bit of a chuckle when the Birds would turn the ball over, or the other team scored, and I'd hear my phone buzz, and I knew what it was. My mom just texting a single 4 letter word beginning with F. One of the things I'll miss going forward.

I told my mom before this season began that the eagles aren't going to win sheet this year with that idiot hurts running around like moron lmao.

Yeah when something bad happened in a game.

Dorsett! Thanks. That's the one.

The Ertz TD I could see right away that he turned into a runner, so I felt confident in that one. The Clement one concerned me because of how he shifted the ball. I thought that one was getting called back, but so glad it didn't.

Watching the clement play over to me it seems he knew what he was doing the whole time. He catches then gets the left foot, after getting the right foot he shifts the ball to the left hand as he falls to his right shoulder. I see it as him shielding the ball from hitting the ground but what the hell do I know 

The 9ers are going to be super physical. I hope we are ready for it...

Maybe that’s why the Eagles sent out a few backups to get a little physical with the Giants in that playoff game. The Eagles were plenty physical themselves last game. How about that run by Gainwell for the first down? How about Goedert’s first catch? How about that pancake block by Kelce? These are just a few. The 49ers better be ready because the Eagles play downhill and why they ran the ball 44 times in a playoff game. 

I still think the Eagles are the best team in the league, but the 3 remaining teams are all great in their own rights. Eagles have the most complete team though.

Only the Bengals worry me. I don’t know why, but I am not even a little worried about Niners. I think we absolutely smoke them

The Bengals in theory should be a good match-up for us as their O-Line is pretty weak and would go against our strength.

But then at the same time Mahomes is likely going to be dealing with that high ankle sprain. Mahomes is super human so he's still insanely good even if he's not fully healthy. 

Baba Yaga!

And M3GAN freaks me out a bit.

Agreed it will be and I guess that was always going to be the case. The AFC is stacked right now especially with the top young QBs.

Honestly, I'd rather face the Chiefs because I'd bank on Reid being outcoached lol.  But either team is a good matchup, but I'll worry about all that after taking care of san fran Sunday.

Either team represent matchup difficulties, but I’m am not going to discount our teams drive and focus for a championship. Frankly our quarterback all season (frankly by the end of last seasons) has been on a quest to prove his doubters wrong. I don’t see him being scared of this moment no matter who he has to face.

Clement.. Love that guy.  Poor chap is languishing with the Cardinals and had like 15 carries the whole year.  But he came though for us when it mattered most 🙂

Brock Purdy is going to have a tough time with the defense but McCaffery may be able to offset that. Then there's Deebo.....

I think the eagles defensive line is better than any offensive line they're going to face.  They're going to dictate the games and cause alot of havoc.  Hopefully it turns into turnovers and good field position.

I hear Purdy has some of the best starting fields in football thanks to his defense constantly getting turnovers. The Eagles have to protect the football in this one more than ever. It would help to jump out to an early two score lead and force the rookie to beat you.

49ers have 30 takeaways this year, Eagles have 27, so couldn't you say the same about Hurts ??

I think it meant where Purdy started with the ball.

The average starting FP I believe the 49ers are the best in the league. Right now I’d say both teams don’t make a lot of mistakes and there’s a reason why they’re the last two teams. They’re the best two in the NFC.

32.2 for the 9ers to 29.1 for the Eagles.  26.2 is last.  I don't think 3 yards, or 6 yards really makes much difference.

The main point is the Eagles can not afford to give the 49ers short fields. Protect the football. That is the main point. Jalen and the Eagles need to keep doing what he’s been doing all season and that’s protecting the ball. I don’t really know what your point was. Are you implying that Purdy and Hurts are the same? What exactly was your argument?

OMG you are dense sometimes.  He is getting 3 yards better starting position then Jalen.  It is nothing.

I’m dense, but you’re the one who made a big deal out of the yardage. Yes the 49ers lead the league in starting position, but that’s not as relevant as the Eagles need to protect the football and that absolutely is a big deal. You disagree with that?
