SF 49ERS at Eagles Pregame Thread - 2022 Season Conference Final

My daughter recently moved to Charlotte NC. She watched the game yesterday with some friends. They were mostly locals and they told her that Philly fans are the East Coast equivalent of Raider fans, obnoxious and loud.

Can verify. When I went to a Philly bar in SC, they were insufferable. Loud and obnoxious. I wanted good wings and happened to go during a Penn State game. Instant regret.

Oops, you got me. Prepare for the parade! Um, maybe Jalen has grow up; matured a bit?? He's playing with 2 future Hall of Fame linemen and three players who've already won a Superbowl. Is it fair to consider that being surrounded by people like that may have an effect on Jalen? His growth as a man in just one year is astounding. He's the complete package.

Haha! Just a bit of ribbing big dog. I'll give philly props they've had a very good season. Again I'll give them a slight edge being at home. I've heard every week how this is Brock's biggest test yadayada yada he keeps rising and doing what needs to be done. ALL of the pressure is on Jalen and Siriani. Shannahan is a better coach should be the COTY but won't be. He has his team in the NFC championship game with a 3rd string rookie QB. Absolutely incredible. If jalen loses to Brock the Philadelphia media will crucify him just like the national media is doing to Dak.

Well that's why you're in nfc champ game. Because you have a great team. But it's nothing special in terms of nfc champ teams.

Indy, bears, giants, wash, saints, etc... You've been very very beatable. That's the point I'm making.

You forgot one point. He VERY wrong about the point differential

49ers we're a league best +173 compared to +133 for PHI. Dude was off by 40 points and we all know our coach doesn't pile on at the end of blowouts so it could have been worse

He's been very good and steady. Can't say anything bad about him but he's facing the biggest pressure cooker in his young career. We'll see how it plays out, right?

Why don't you think hurts is playing the biggest pressure cooker of his career?

In fact, now that I think of it, the Eagles are probably the most boring team left.

What's the weather gonna be like this Sunday?

Playing the number one defense? Well if he ain't feeling pressure now he will this Sunday

That game looked like a high school or college offense out there running up the score vs the inferior NYG. The offense was hella effective but it sure as heck wasn't rocket science and to their credit it doesn't have to be so long as it works

I mean our glasses are rose colored, but he's got bright green colored ones on. Be definitely having trouble seeing through them. But you can't blame him, he's passionate and doesn't get as frequent of these hands as we do. Were more used to it. He ain't got the proper respect for us and the same with all Philly. It's up to us to show them we deserve the respect and they ain't anything special.

We didn't struggle last week against Saquon or in the two Giants games prior. We didn't struggle against Derek Henry in week 13. We did struggle for a bit when we lost Jordon Davis and when the injuries starting mounting and prior to last week's divisional game; I wasn't sure how healthy we were or if that dominant defense from the earlier part of the season would return. A week ago, I said we would lose to the Niners if we met. And then we absolutely rolled the Giants and that dominant team, on both sides of the ball, was back and looked better than ever. I feel like the advantage is with us. We're healthy again, we're highly focused and unlike last week, your boys have the shorter week and the cross country travel to an environment that is going to be more hostile than anything they have experienced. Purdy has not faced this kind of environment and this level of pressure. Hurts on the other hand is unflappable and has a cool calm that just oozes confidence. I expect a close game and I won't be surprised with any result short of a blowout which is highly unlikely but I'm feeling far better than I did just a few days ago.

Wow sounds like the eagles are a dream team

Will be interesting then to see if the Giants game was indicative of a return to form, just a mediocre Giants team that wasn't prepared for the pressure or something in between. From what little I saw Daboll seemed to be getting a lot out of his guys this year but it wasn't at all surprising they looked terrible last weekend. Some people here thought they were alright but most were unimpressed coming into the playoffs.

I'll be surprised if he is still posting here by Sunday the way this is going lol.

Yea if Jed were smart he'd not shell out for the tix for this one. Just forfeit and move on with life since it's all a foregone conclusion

Some of this babble sounds just like Dallas fans. It's like they never stopped to consider that the game can actually be won or lost.
