As much as I hate them, I think the Eagles win easily today

Hammer : 1/29/2023 10:35 am
The dirty birds just seem so complete on both sides of the ball, in the trenches, with skill players on offense and the back four on defense, that I can't see the 49ers staying with them for 60 minutes.

I expect the game to be close early on but, as the game wears on, the Eagles are going to grind the 49er's front four down and ruin the game by pressuring Purdy.
No one beats this niners team easily

They look ugly at times but they will be a problem for Philly. This isn’t the giants OL Philly is facing. Not trying to knock NYG either, their OL did ok this year, but SF just has an elite OL. Games get weird and awful when the OL can’t block the opposing defense.
I’ll say this tho

Purdy needs to be ok. He was ok against Dallas and I think the Dallas D is as good or close to Philly. Purdy is the wild card but we’ve been saying this for week and the niners just keep winning.

I think the Eagles win comfortably, maybe not easily

Purdy didn't play all that well against the Cowboys though he managed to win. Another performance like that and I think we're looking at a 10 point Philly win.

Agree. Niners bring a toughness to any matchup. And that toughness isn't only on their defense.

Would love to see Deebo run over a few Eagle CBs and Safeties on the way to the end zone this afternoon.

I'm dreading an Eagles win. The thought of those MFers winning another Lombardi...I'd rather watch the Zapruder film on loop the rest of my life.
That Eagles team has been coasting for a while now.

The 49ers are badass and will inject a dose of reality into the situation. It’s going to be a war.
The biggest gap is between the QBs.

If Purdy doesn't put the ball in harms way then they can pull this off. Purdy has made some great plays and is a nice player to have for the future to see if he develops but he has put the ball in harms way a lot but teams haven't taken advantage of it. I expect Shanahan to pound the running game and run a lot of quick release passes to neutralize Philly's DL. You'll see a lot of misdirection plays too. Both teams will probably have similar gameplans.
SF by 2. Bet the over.

The Niners are nasty. I can see this a lot like the 2002 NFC Title Game when the Bucs came into the Vet to play the Shitbirds and won based on their defensive brilliance.
I am resigned the the eagles winning…

I just hope SF beats the crap out of them. I doubt I’ll even watch. I can’t stomach this eagles team.
No rookie eligible QB (regardless of age)  
Sammo85 : 1/29/2023 11:25 am : link
has ever won a conference championship game in NFL history in SB era.

Not inspiring but hoping this is a first. Purdy will have to make legit throws and given the pressure Eagles can bring up front and coverage on back end, Shanahan will need to have a good gameplan to run the ball and keep Eagles guessing.

Go Niners!
the niners are really the only team I can fully get behind this year

Obviously I can't get behind the Eagles, but then there is Kadarius Toney and Eli Apple on the Chiefs and Bengals that I's hate to see getting any benefit from their punk ass behavior respectively
Purdy is the big question  
DieHard : 1/29/2023 12:05 pm : link
If you look at the teams he's played so far, he has yet to stand out vs a top-level defense (understandably so). Add Philly's home field advantage and it could get ugly. But if the Niners can get their run game going (sounds like Mitchell might not play, so it'll have to be McCaffrey), stay with the Eagles out of the gate and not fall behind by too much (the Eagles are at their best when they're front-running), they have a shot.

Unfortunately I think we'd all do well to gird our loins. Just repeat after me: "Back, and to the left...back, and to the left..."

We all hate Philly but you and other Philly (south jersey) residents obviously have a passionate hatred that probably even eclipses my hate for Dallas. As much as Dallas fans infect north jersey it pales in comparison to what you have to endure down there. For you folks, no one else, go niners. I’ll be fine (miserable yes but fine) up here where I rarely see a Philly fan. I feel for you folks.
You were correct

Yes, but I don't think the game looks like this if Purdy doesn't get knocked out. Much closer game. That game became unwatchable in the second half when SF had literally no QB. Did they even attempt a pass in the 4th quarter?
