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

Ray Ray better hold onto the ball, last thing we can do is anything stupid against them. I don't want to be scared again every punt or kickoff we have, been through that enough in the past.

our top 2 RBs CMC an ELI are both hampered. CMCs sounds to be just a bad bruise on his calf, however having our top 2 RBs not at 100% really really really hurts our "run run run" strategy that is needed for sunday. we need tough runners ready to wear this eagles D Down. will we activate TEco raw? hopefully. no reason him an mason cant take carries from CMC an ELI, theyve both proven to be capable of that. only thing they cant do is the receiving work CMC can do which he can still do on limited snaps.

hopefull they just need rest an by sunday their bodies are good.

They'll both be fine, leave it all on the field this week and you either have two weeks to heal or an entire offseason.

Also can Gould just kick the ball out the back of the end zone?

Eagles sleeping on a number 2 seed, on a 12 game winning streak. SMH

Man, the number of discussions on the internet and tv, sports channels, etc about position by position comparisons of the two teams is just crazy. Don't remember seeing so-called "sports analysts" going this deep into rosters of each team on both sides of the ball. That itself is probably proof about how evenly these two teams are matched. Vegas odds of -2.5 seems just about right.

One more observation along the same lines: the 49ers have the best player in the NFL on the OLine, and the best player in the NFL on the DLine. The Eagles have the best overall OLine and the best overall DLine.

Eagles' pass defense:

NO pre-snap motion:
#1 in EPA per play

YES pre-snap motion:
#22 in EPA per play

They're about to play the team that #1 in terms of pre-snap motion rate in the #49ers.

If cheap talk won championships, you'd be the winner. Hope you enjoy, and be safe. They murder opposing fans there, lmao. You'll know every word of the song by the end of the game.

lol you better check your own fanbase if you're scoffing at overconfidence. I haven't heard a single Eagles fan say they're nervous about facing the Niners. Everyone is laughing at the idea that Brock Purdy could beat them.

Believe me; there's major respect for the Forty Niners from Philly fans; the overwhelming majority of which would rather be playing the Cowchokes.

Complete agree but I don't think he can and that's the problem. Every yard will matter on Sunday.

This drives me insane. Dallas almost returned one last week( ironically enough Gould made the tackle). He's money kicking fgs, but come the f on Robbie

The tickets for this NFCC game are in track to be the most expensive ever for a conference championship - that tells me that a lot of niner fans are going. That's why they're getting so expensive, or least that's my hope. Hahahah no science or data behind that, just my hope.

has there Been any data released saying how many niner fans are expected.? We usually travel very very well.

it was already at 18% early Monday, but your hypothesis isn't that far fetched. As season ticket holders, we know which teams like to travel or buy tickets at any cost. We also raise prices for certain teams.

When you say "18%" - I take it you mean 18% of the crowd is projected to be 49ers? What is the average % of away fans that usually attend the league?

is 18% good?

To be specific, the report was that 18% of the tickets that were bought were from California. 18% is good amount of fans and i'm guessing more people have bought since then. as for avg of away fans, that would depend on the team.

just imagine if we get that place looking Red..

That's wild - that's a lot of tickets and you know not every niner fan attending will be from Cali. Tons of niner fans all over the east coast and mid west.

it would be amazing if 30-40% of the stadium was red 😍😍. I wouldn't put it past our fan base, I'd say 49ers and Cowboys have the best traveling fan base.

I was there last year and it was very red. My buddy sitting next to me who's (whose? whom? whomis?) an Eagles fan was pissed. Now this game is a different beast so who knows. Still, last year it was week 2 when every team thinks they're a superbowl contender and the Niners crowd still took over.

Music to my eyeballs 😍😍

They're going to have to learn the hard way, especially with a busted QB and RT. Lol good luck

I would feel a lot better about this game if i knew how we were going to defend Hurts on his up the gut runs. Some are definitely designed but most seem to be no WR open and Hurts takes off. When he does run a designed play, it is between the tackles. No question he is big and fast and strong,..but there has a to be a way to keep him contained. What would work best…a spy…say MLB or safety?
