I want to see a balance attack for the SB.  Have to keep Mahomes off the field.  However while being balanced we have to finish drives with points.  I think the Eagles in the NFCC got up and realized they had no QB so they spared Hurts from throwing a lot in the second half to save his shoulder for the SB. Could be wrong but that is what I believe.  Now the QB keeps in the second half were stupid but they kept the chains moving.  Bottom line I expect Hurts to play a great sound game with no turnovers.

Instead they ran him and exposed him to cheap shots, and he got one.

They should’ve traded hurts (and the 3 #1s)  for Russell Wilson. He would’ve gotten the eagles to the superbowl and thrown for the 4 million yards we so desperately crave!!

Fact is Hurts did what he did. He put it all out there and now look....a running QB got us to the SB to win it! At this point with one game left let him do what he do. He didn't have to take off but he did just like Mahomes did on a bum ankle. Hurts brought the option demention to the RPO that had run game controlling the clock when needed.

For everyone complaining about Hurts and his not so stellar passing, Minshew definitely would've panicked & lost that game going against that defense. Don't be that guy who still complaining after we win the SB because Hurts ran the ball too much.

Let me get this right: Including the playoffs, the Niners gave up 12 rushing TDs in 19 games before facing the Eagles. The Eagles scored three on them - 20% of their season total - while the Niners had the #1 rush defense in the league? And we're whining about a QB who didn't turn the ball over, meeting his primary objective in the circumstances? Freud would have a field day with some of y'all.

Some folks are rapid to point to failings in situational football and awareness  - but you don't recognise it when you see it

I'm not sure why I thought it was 3 TDs. They had 4 rushing TDs vs a team that gave up 12 rushing TDs in their other 19 games.

I don't know why I keep turning on WIP, the idiot producer just said Hurts had a bad game against the giants  these morons just look at total yards thrown probably

The passing game was not sub par, sub par would be less than 50% and turning it over

2 types of whiney losers this week

1 - the 49ers as victims of unfairness losers

2 - the people too stupid to understand how Hurts is one of the best run game QBs in NFL history and also ignorant enough to complain about him this week.

He was definitely out of chartector with the timing and deep ball. He has a 67% completion rate all season long and led the entire league on the deep ball completion percentage and TD rate. It's no secret he wasn't 100% on his throwing shoulder that may have had an impact. He hasn't been the same since the Bears  He'll have another 2 weeks of resting so I believe he'll be much better. If not he's gotta do what he gotta do to grind it out one more game to get us the win. 

So what do people think caused the accuracy issue - the injury?  He seemed to be really accurate this year and made throws like that deep throw to Brown routinely earlier in the season. Maybe the injury is causing him to push through pain or scar tissue that needs to be dealt with in the offseason?

Combination of injury and over throw can’t be intercepted.

imo Hurts is hurt way more than he and the coaching staff is letting on ... he is fighting through it because he's a warrior and wants to see this through to the end. He already let it slip that on one deep throw it felt like his arm was going to come off. He knows that even at 60-70% he gives this team a better chance at winning than a 100% Minshew because of his threat as a runner. This entire Offense works because of Jalen's ability to beat you with his arm "or" legs ... if you take away that dimension it all falls apart. We lost to the Saints in a game that would have wrapped things up and given Hurts that much extra time ... so you know damn well Jalen is out there till the end. The extra week and the fact that it's down to one last game I "hope" allows Jalen to be 80% or better for the Dance; I honestly think that's the best we can possibly hope for. He's not going to be 100% till next season. I think Mahomes will be way closer to 100% with his injury than Jalen for the Super Bowl ... but we have the better overall team, so I think even with an 80% Jalen we get the W!

He has actually said the entire time that he's in pain, not 100%, etc.  They're not hiding anything.  He's just pushing through the injury.  Just like Lane Johnson is, Mahomes and lots of other players this time of year that are banged up.

Scar tissue? Did he have secret surgery?

QBs have been known to miss throws. It's going to happen. Some of the other deep passes were just well covered Sunday. The idea is that if the WR does get a step on most DBs, the DB won't be looking back for the ball. So it's usually a pretty safe shot for a big play. You can even get the occasional DPI as a result if the receiver doesn't come down with it. 

I know people don't want to admit it, but the 49ers played pretty good defense all game. They were very well prepared for our play-calling.

I didn't say they're hiding that he's hurt ... I just think that they are not letting on exactly "how hurt" he is and it's a very smart thing. Why give your opponent info on the "severity" when you don't need to. The Jalen we saw vs the Niners is not the Jalen I saw pre-Chicago ... that Jalen was decisive and accurate ... San Fran Jalen was hesitant and lacked his usual assertiveness. I expect a better and less protective version of Jalen against KC with the added week of rest. 

The Eagles will not have as much flexibility with Hurts compared to their Wentz negotiation window, with their current starter’s contract not including the fifth-year option. After a 2022 offseason that included links to high-profile passers, the Eagles are prepared to move forward with Hurts, Sam Robinson of Pro Football Rumorsreports. They are planning to meet with Hurts’ agent about an extension this offseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes.

After struggling down the stretch last season and undergoing ankle surgery last winter, Hurts entered the 2022 offseason with a somewhat uncertain future. The Eagles looked into Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson; the team’s Watson research dates back to the 2021 season. Watson ended up not waiving his no-trade clause for the Eagles. Ownership advised the Eagles against bringing in Hurts competition that year, and the former Alabama and Oklahoma dual threat showed promise. After the Eagles built a roster comparable to 2017’s this past offseason, they are 16-1 in Hurts starts and one win away from their second Super Bowl title. The dramatic leap Hurts has taken puts him in commanding position for an extension.

 

Seeming like they surfaced years ago, the franchise’s connections to other QBs and doubts about Hurts are in the past. There is no longer any doubt about Hurts’ future in Philadelphia, Rapoport adds, and the team’s increased faith in the former second-round pick will lead to big numbers being thrown around soon.

Certainly contract negotiations can break down (just ask Lamar Jackson) but this feels like a mutual decision and when the owner is involved he usually gets what he wants. Also sounds like to me the Eagles did research on Watson, but likely weren’t really interested, but Howie was very much interested in Wilson. Lurie stepped in and said no to any other option.

Jalen in 3 years has already outplayed his rookie contract by a lot.   I expect 4 to 5 year Extension most likely.  Definitely making 45 to 50 a year.   You don't lead your team to a Super Bowl this quickly and this young and not get paid.  Burrow is about to get a huge contract too.  Lucky for the Eagles, Jalen has one more year on the rookie deal so the contact won't hurt the cap as much next year.   But Jalen deserves a huge bonus too.

Oh you're just not smart, I see.

You make no sense. I don't think we limit the Chiefs to 7 points, but I don't think they put up 50 either lol. He's paranoid as if the defense that has only given up 14 points total in the playoffs is going to go out and just allow Mahomes to do whatever he wants. It's silly.  I expect him to make some plays, but I also have confidence in the defense getting pressure, sacks, and turnovers. 

Also, Hurts was definitely off, but we don't exactly need him to throw for 300+ yards and 3 TDs to win. He can easily have a quiet day, make plays with his arm/legs when he needs to, and we can run all over them for points.

The QB market has drastically changed in the last 10 years.   The Eagles need to get on it quickly or the price will go up even more.   Jalen resume is already ridiculous.   He definitely worth it.

He has one really productive year and one very pedestrian year. I think closer to 40, but a high guarantee amount the first three years allowing us to bail out
