Pretty sure he's available to come back for the Dolphins game, Eagles game would be the 3rd on IR.

Can someone summarize why the Eagles are so bad?

It is simply an matter of infection by overexposure. They are tainted by playing the Dallas Cowpukes twice every season.

Traded Foles.

uhmmm... don't let the record fool you, they are not like the Falcons.. this team can just be 3-0... right now, it's just BAD COACHING... but they will be a good TEST for our team..

They didn't trade Foles

Yeah, I'd say the Eagles fans aren't happy: [NSFW]

One thing concerns me about the Eagles, their pass rush. Hopefully we come in with a plan to get the ball out quick and Wentz doesn't pick our game to break out of his funk.

Lmao

I wonder if that will make them win now?

And once again the NFC East is the worst division in the NFL.

Been that way for the past decade. I remember when the West was the worst, fans and media would constantly laugh at us. Yet for some reason they pull their punches for the East

Dammit.

Let's just hope Mosley's ready to go by Sunday. If Verrett plays like he did against the Giants, then he can be Sherman while Sherm is out. God help us if Johnson has to start.

Here are the matchups - Offense VS Defense rankings. Key ranking is the 49ers have the #2 Defense (Scoring) in the league and are going against the team with the most turnovers.

49ers Offense VS Eagles Defense:

49ers: #14 Offense Pts Per Game
Eagles: #23 Defense Pts Given Up

49ers: #14 Total Offense Yds
Eagles: #5 Total Defense Yds Given Up

49ers: #15 Offense Passing Yards
Eagles: #7 Defense Passing Yards Given Up

49ers: #12 Offense Rushing Yds
Eagles: #9 Defense Rushing Yds Given Up

49ers: #1 in Offensive Turnovers (#1 is good here)
Eagles: #32 in Defensive TOs

Eagles Offense VS 49ers Defense:

Eagles: #27 Offense Pts Per Game
49ers: # 2 Defense Pts Given Up

Eagles: #24 Total Offense Yds
49ers: #3 Total Defense Yds Given Up

Eagles: #24 Offense Passing Yards
49ers: # 2 Defense Passing Yards Given Up

Eagles: #17 Offense Rushing Yds
49ers: #16 Defense Rushing Yds Given Up

Eagles: #32 in Offense Turnovers (#32 is bad here)
49ers: #12 in Defensive TOs

Still too in the season to take these rankings too seriously but I thought it was interesting nothing less. I haven't paid any attention to the Eagles but just looking at the stats on paper their main issue seems to be turnovers on both sides of the bal . They turn it over more than anyone and they don't generate any turnovers. We all know that feeling from a couple years ago. They have a top 5 defense (in yards) but their scoring defense is #23 and it would be better if their offense didn't put them in bad spots.

It will definitely be an interesting matchup. I do like that we're at home, and hopefully will have Kittle back. I think we are good at RB, but curious if we temp activate Hokit for additional depth. He looks like a nice developmental FB/HB hybrid. Our OL really needs to step up, worried about that matchup against their top notch DL talent. Our defense is better than Cincy, even with players out, I think. But I think they may have a few plays to keep it closer than expected. Either that, or a late score to make it seem closer than it really was.

49ers 27, Eagles 20

No Dallas Goedert for the Eagles this week, out with an ankle fracture.
