They're the first 10-1 or better team in league history to be a home underdog.

This is as telling as any stat you can point out. For Vegas to favor a 8-3 team on the road bs a 10-1 team is huge.

You want to be the underdog in this one, no need to give them home under dogs vibes, that's how they won their only Super Bowl

Philly fans are going to be broke by this time next week.

I think we're about to witness the best game Purdy has ever played up to this point

This game may require some clutch in tight spots.

Having to through deep late in the 4th with that pass rush is going to be wild.

Philly is the team to beat, they are the best. Hurts is so elusive in the pocket and can make plays with his arm and speed. The 49ers defensive front is on a bit of a tear of its own though so we're going to see what's up. Im looking forward to it and hopefully we can come home with a W.

It's no secret that we want to contain Hurts to the pocket. It's no secret that the 49ers are rolling when McCaffery is getting the ball a ton. Wild card here but I think we'll see more of that outside zone thing this game.

Reddick is right .. we (us and a lot of the players) were all crying up a storm about missing BP in the NFCG. Now we have a 2nd chance. Time to put up or shut up once and for all. Pressure is all on the 9ers.

Hurts reminds me so much of that Russell Wilson. He kind of plays a ho hum game but gets those 2 or 3 plays a game (usually a chuck n pray, like Wilson) that break your back. He can do this because philly has a good D and will keep it close.

He's not fully healthy but still dangerous

If we lose this game but then beat the Seahawks on December 10th, this will probably be like last season where the rest of the regular season will just be a boring coast to the #2/3 seed lol

Eagles 7-1 in one score games. 2-0 in the others, both won by exactly two TDs

49ers 1-2 in one score games, 7-1 in all other games, average score in their 6 double digit wins, 32-10. Lone double digit loss was the spanking by Burrow by 14 pts.

We still had a shot at #1 seed in week 18 last year, but had to depend on the sorry ass giants. They're even sorrier this year and eagles play them twice in final 3 weeks lol

The Giants low-key screwed us over last year. They essentially gave the Eagles a cakewalk straight to the NFC Championship right after the Eagles were floundering with Minshew. I'm curious if anything plays out differently had the Vikings beat the Giants. We would've gotten the fluke Vikings in the Divisional round while Dallas and Philadelphia beat each other up (hoping that's the script this year, just replace Vikings with Lions).

I was about to post this thing. Similar to early Russell Wilson, Jalen Hurts seems to have a horseshoe up his ass.

The 49ers need to pull it out and beat him over the head with out.

How do you know Purdy doesn't shower.

You could tell in the Cleveland game that he wasn't comfortable being wet.

I hope we don't hear Niner fans whining about the officials if we lose this game. I've seen a lot of posts on this forum about the league and the refs favoring KC. Guess what. KC leads the league in holding penalties this year. I'm not saying the officials never get it wrong but they're right most of the time. The only complaint I have with officials is when they call too many penalties and slow the entire pace of the game. Call the blatant fouls. Otherwise let them play.

So if the officials blatantly favor the Eagles in key situations like they did in the NFC championship game just bury your head in the sand and pretend like it didn't effect the outcome of the game?

And the fact that the Chiefs lead the league in holding penalties is meaningless its all about when those penalties are called,if I remember correctly they were pretty high on the list in 2019 aswell yet in the SB against maybe the best Dline in football it wasn't an issue.
