The more I look at this shyt, the more I'm convinced that this has the potential to be a convincing win.
I think Shanahan is coaching that offense up to their absolute potential, but when put under enough pressure it may fall apart. They had to deal with Micah and a bunch of other bums last sunday, but we have four dudes with 10+ sacks and a guy who low key outproduced micah in Haason Reddikk, who has like 17. Then in the secondary there's all pro James Bradberry, pro bowl darius slay, CJGJ and some really solid pass defenders. If we get maddox back...
. We could force purdy into some pretty significant mistakes. Pressure + good coverage = bad bad things for the offense.
As for defense, the Niners are 20th in pass defense below the Steelers, and #1 in the league vs the run. The exception to that is mobile QBs, but I don't expect that to matter. Point is they're really good vs. the run, however if they do what I think they're going to, it won't matter. Steichen and Hurts are gonna go full pass. I legitimately think it may end up looking like the titans or steelers games if our line holds up. Either AJ or Smitty will fukk shyt up.
I think we get out to an early lead and force purdy to play catchup while dealing with our d-line and elite secondary. He's been great this year, but I don't think he'll be able to do that in a packed philly stadium.
