Hard to be confident when we're going into the game with at least 4 starters out but I do think this team is still good enough to overcome the injuries.

I do think our offense will have to shoulder the brunt of the responsibility for a bit until the secondary finds their groove which I think can happen as Thomas and Lenoir grow into their roles(similar to Seattle in 2011)

Eagles DL is no joke but I think our OL and our scheme and players are up for the challenge. We certainly have no issues going to the quick game or mixing things up on the ground so their pass rush can't attack. Jimmy has to be on point with his decisions and we may see more Lance in this game.

I'm thinking 31-27 49ers W.

Looking ahead to Week 3, the Packers just placed Za'Darius Smith on IR with a back (o'rly?) and I think they are still without David Bakhtiari, and the Saints have it bad with COVID and injuries. (We don't play them in the regular season).

Philly has an underrated team. Defense is very talented obviously. Safety may be their weaker area. On offense, their WR group is unproven. We have to hope whoever's out there on Sunday at CB can hold it down until Moseley's back.

Wait, what happened to Marcell Harris?

49ers game statuses:

Greenlaw - OUT
Moseley - doubtful
Kinlaw - questionable
Armstead - questionable
Harris - questionable

Bakhtiari's backup Elgton Jenkins is very very good. Won't be as easy as many think

How can a backup be very very good?

Hes "good" because of Rodgers. Same thing for Wirfs. Guys like Rodgers, Brady, etc. you can mostly plug in whoever at OL and so long as they aren't horrendously bad those QBs will make it work

Why are we worried about the Packers before the Eagles game?
