That is a lil confusing. I mean I'm partial to 49ers obviously, however, we know home field is considered worth 3 pts. That means we would be favored in a neutral site by .5. Surprising considering they are the one seed with an MVP candidate at QB. Then again the betting markets are shrewd and know that D and run game travels well.

It's saying we're better on an even field. I believe we have nearly as many or more pro bowlers and all pros as they do and ours aren't NOOBS either

Philadelphia radio guys are idiot east coast homers, both rosters are neck and neck. Vegas knows what they're doing

Radio personnel are usually idiots anyways. See the CMC injury thing from last week.

Welcome, looking forward to a great game

Right.

People forget we've won 12 straight games with both our 2 and 3 QBs while PHI lost two straight with their QB2

We have a damn good and arguably better roster than PHI because they didn't show that their own roster could prop up a 2 and a 3 at QB

Their defense got boatraced by DAL and their offense got s**t down by NO in PHI

"Philadelphia" is a combination of two Greek words: love (phileo) and brother (adelphos). - from Google

it's literally the city of brotherly love, which is a lot like calling LA the City of Angels.

Right, thanks for the reminder.
Great American city.
More just relating my brief dissociative experience with seeing the word in print, even for the billionth time

.

Hopefully the Eagles have 60 minutes of
feeling like they've never seen the anything like the Niners before.

The collection of DL that PHI has put together is damn impressive.

Let's run at them and bludgeon them for three quarters and then see how they're holding up come the fourth

What concerns me more than hurts ability to run, is just deep pass.

it's really simple for us on defense to give us a chance to win - stop the run/contain the wares and get pressure.

on offense - establish the run (to slow down the pass rush) and always have a hot read.

what was concerning is that the cowgirls were able to control our run with a 7 man box and 2 high... they did this most of the game until we started to wear down their front

Our OL will be tested again.

ANY tackle on Hurts could change things. No way his shoulder is fully healed. Not saying it's held together with spit and gum...but...

All our guys hit hard...our LBs are bowling balls and our opponents are pins.

Per Baldy - eagles are the only team who play a five man defensive front.

so that means a lot of 1-1 matchups and if we can get past the d line on run play - that leaves a lot of room to run.
i think our offense has a great chance to score and sustain drives on them. I'm excited!

It was a lot to do with Dallas's speed. Fortunately, eagles don't have the same speed on defense - although, they're a great pass Rush. Their style though, if we can win at the LOS, gives us the opportunity to score or get big chunk plays. I don't expect it to be as Low scoring as the cowboys game.
