Not comparing Hurts to Mahomes. The issues lie in the 9ers' D glaring weaknesses in defending the deep ball outside of the numbers plus running QBs. Worse still is their totally dominant D-line, poor Purdy will get drilled. I think we could probably score between 17-20. But, I can see them scoring mid-30s.
Personally, I think the eagles are good but overrated and haven't been punched in the mouth by a good team this year (besides the cowboys but there were injuries). So I'm excited to see how we do against this so called historic defense. I also think the mark of a great team is one that can win when injuries mount up AKA great coaching. When hurts went down, eagles were absolute crap. He's still injured and going up against us, very physical and violent - we attack who ever has the ball.
i also think hurts shoulder is going to be a MAJOR factor in this game. Couple that with lane Johnson's abdominal tear (very painful to play with) and he's going up against DPOY.
Purdy is super competitive. Losing to hurts in college is a problem for him and I expect he will want revenge.
we are going to blow open this game with a 14-0 lead and the final score will be 31-17 Niners! It'll be a close game until we score a nail in the coffin TD to lock it up!
