Brock Purdy, Deebo and The 49ers Bully The Birds with NFC Championship Rematch Beat down at the Linc. Get payback as Eagles fall to 10-2
Eagles Offense held to 2nd Lowest points of the Season at 19 after the Jets Loss (14 points)
Defense didn’t have it’s best day at the office allowing 6 TD Drives to the 49ers
Eagles fall to 10-2 after losing to the 49ers. This is the 3rd time in Franchise History being 10-2. All other times the Eagles Won the NFL Championship or Super Bowl (1960, 2017, 2023?)
#1 NFC BEAST, #1 SEED NFC, #1 RECORD IN THE NFL
I DIDN’T WALK THROUGH THE FIRE TO SMELL SMOKE: Jalen Hurts record 14 Straight Wins against Winning Teams ends. His streak of comeback wins also ends at 8. This is Jalen Hurts 3rd Regular Season Loss in two Calendar Years. He’s now 27-3 over his last 30 Regular Season Games.
DAZED DEFENSE: The Defense had a strong 1st Qtr but completely got smoked the rest of the game.
THE COACHES: Sirianni, Johnson and Desai all need to clean up it after that performance.
AS THE NFC BEAST TURNS: Cowboys survive close battle with Seahawks to keep pace. Washington gets blown out by Miami as the Season is spiraling. GMen are on a Bye Week after two Game Winning Streak.
Well Damn, that was brutal. I went out of town this weekend, game damn near ruined my trip. San Fran straight punched us in the damn face in the 2nd Half. Defense definitely lost this game for sure. Offense didn’t do much better as they left many TD’s out there. San Fran did a good job attacking our Secondary. Honestly these last two games haven’t been the best for the Defense. Injuries are still taking their toll as we’ve had to make up this Secondary. Also there was clearly some fatigue after those long games against KC and Buffalo. The Eagles played 3 games in 13 days. 49ers were coming off a Mini-Bye Week (Cowboys will be too, SMH). Anyways no excuses, they got beat badly. As troubling as that performance was. I'm not concerned. The Eagles just went through the hardest Gauntlet of the Season any team has had to face that including Miami, The Boys, KC in Arrowhead, Buffalo and the 49ers. Any other team outside of a few would have folded during this crazy stretch.
The Eagles came out of it 5-1. I’ll take it. The bad news it was a terrible loss. The good news the Eagles built up a nice cushion from the 49ers, The Boys and The Lions. That two game lead came in handy as the Eagles are still ahead 1 game with 5 games to go. This game was a situation where Shanahan outcoached Desai and the Defense. The Eagles kept it close but once the 2nd half started, the hole got too large to dig out of this time. AJ and Devonta got their yards, but the running game wasn’t good this game. Jalen did OK but made some mistakes too. It just wasn’t a good day at the office. Props to the 49ers for bringing it. They caught us this time, but we won’t see them again unless it’s in the Playoffs. Now it’s onto Dallas. The Gauntlet is not finished yet.
I think they will bounce back and I’m glad Howie got it done with the Leonard signing for this Playoff push. I saw an interesting stat too. The Eagles are 2-0 in Winning Championships after starting 10-2. They are 1-2 when starting 11-1 (1-1 starting 9-2). San Fran is a good team. Purdy played well and Deebo did his thing. Look they had this game circled and they wanted to get Eagles back and they did. But this wasn't the playoffs just like our Chiefs win this year didn't give them the Ring. This is far from over. This reminds me of 2017. The Eagles were on a 9 game winning streak and came into Seattle and Russ Cooked us by like 20 points I think. We all know how that story ended. The Eagles are coming off a Super Bowl Loss and are 10-2. They’ve already proven so many people wrong this season by even being in this position. I know the NFL is happy because this make it a “Horse Race” to the Playoffs. The question is who will finish with a better record. 49ers, Lions and The Boys have some tough matchups like we do. The Eagles will probably have to go 5-0 or 4-1 at the worst to get the #1 Seed. I believe they will. Flush it, move it and get ready to hopefully sweep Dallas. It won’t be easy, they have won 14 straight in Jerry World. Just like Jalen just learned, all records are made to be broken. It's wild because it's so rare to lose with Jalen under center. These streaks were just crazy he's on. 3 Regular Season losses in 2 damn years.
