49ers' D has not contained mobile QBs all year. A true #1 WR will make a ton of plays versus this D. Have you watched Mooney lately? Eagles' DL is far superior to Dallas'. In fact, the Eagles D is better overall, though the 49ers' rush will have better luck next week.
Tell me, without homering it, where do you see the 49ers getting all their points? Where do you see the 49ers holding their O (specifically their WRs) to sub 24/27 points? You aren't getting holding calls in the playoffs, or have you missed the last decade of playoff football?
Truly, without taking a fan's view, tell me where the 49ers will exploit the Eagles? Hell, even Vegas is hedging the numbers waiting on the sharps with the current line @-2.5 (which will obviously increase, likely to around 4.5-5 by mid week).
8th best run offense vs the 8th worst run defense
I suspect it will be ball control offense with opportunistic play action and more of the same deebo, MCM and Kittle against linebackers as often as they can get it.
Philly has a good defense, no doubt....but it is not like the 49ers have not faced good defenses.
Washington allows a score on 31.6% of drives
Philly allows a score on 32.4% of drives
Tampa Bay allows a score on 33.0% of drives
Dallas allows a score on 33.5% of drives
Just for the record.... the 49ers allow a score on 25% of drives, by FAR the hardest team to score against in the NFL.
Philly is good, but they allow 4.6 yards a carry. It is one of the weakest run defenses we have faced all year. Only Seattle at 4.7 yards per carry was worse.
Sure it is going to be a hard fought game and the 49ers might loose, but I really doubt they have a total lack of confidence as you appear to be going though right now.
