yeah the media totally has Philly as the underdog haha. Philly fans trying so hard to be that same team when they won the SB

To be fair, it's a badass d line. Lol they have really good corners too.

im surprised Graham is still playing at such a high level. He's been in the league a long time, I remember when he was drafted out if Michigan - I was still in high school 😶.

It will likely take 27+ to win.

Need at least a 2 score lead in the 4th otherwise one bomb to smith/brown puts you in a really bad spot.

Philly run game is legit - they can grind clock if they need to.

Their ability to grind the clock is what is worries me the most. Remember when we lost to baltimore in 2019? There was like 9-10 minutes left in the fourth and we didn't get ball back until the game was essentially over. We had like 4 possessions in the whole half.

our offense CANNOT afford to blow their offense opportunities.

It was a great defensive game plan. We just needed to do more on offense 165 yards through the air and a lost fumble by our QB was not enough to get it done.

If Brock can continue his streak of not turning it over and the rest of the team can continue to stay locked in - I feel good about our chances to win. If we start making mistakes, it'll be a serious issue that will be difficult to overcome.

that defense is really built to play from ahead, which they've done a majority of the season, but in closer games - they haven't been as impressive. We have to sustain drives and score

That Baltimore team in 2019 was pretty badass with their run game. That was the peak of the Jackson/Roman era in Baltimore. I don't think Philly is quite as potent, but your point still stands. We cannot afford to miss as many opportunities as we did last weekend. We need to move the ball and score points and not let it get to that point where they can hog the ball and milk the clock.
Another day closer

Imagine being from a city where they idolize and have a statue of a fictional character

I wonder what the team breakdown of that is. Like who did they do it against? I agree - their sack total is impressive regardless.

Washington, Giants, and New Orleans

Not saying they won't apply great pressure and/or get a sack or so - but if we held the cowboys to 2 sacks with the abuse they gave us, I think we can hold our own against Philly.

Greg Roman is a joke of an OC. His style is so so outdated and archaic. He may be decent in the run game but his pass game is awful. His WRs don't even have option routes etc. lol it's straight 70s style. His WR group only had like 1400 yards this year combined.

Just because we didnt win a Superbowl with him as out OC doesnt mean he was bad.
This is the game that a game manager won't be able to win. You need a QB to win this game, not just "not lose it".

In Jimmy's 2 playoff runs, he won the games that he could playing "to not lose" (MIN, GB, @DAL, and @GB), but the two games in which we needed more from him specifically, he crumbled (KC, @LAR).

The two first games fall into category 1. This game is category 2. This game needs a FQB to win.

So against common opponents between the Niners and Eagles
Eagles 4-3
+6 point differential

Niners 5-1
+95 point differential

But yea the Eagles are head and shoulders above the Niners and will blow us out as all their dumbass fans are saying
