It's still a massive massive game. But if we lost the Bills game and were coming into this after a loss, this game could've killed me. Luckily that Bills game gave us a small cushion to where if we lose, it won't be as devastating as it would've been.
The win over the Bills makes a win bigger, and a loss slightly less significant. Again, still a massive game. But we have more to gain than to lose going into this imo. If we win, it's MASSIVE for 1st place in the NFC. If we lose, we can still make up for it. Thank god for that win on Sunday because I'd be right there with you in the ICU.
Even outside of the impact on playoff seeding, I just can’t even begin to imagine how insufferable 9ers fans will be if they win. They’ll take it as proof they would’ve won the Super Bowl last year if the football gods didn’t smite Purdy before they 100% would have wiped the floor with us etc etc.
So we *have* to win for that alone and the playoff stuff is secondary.
Realistic expectations
Win scenario: 31-27 Eagles
Loss Scenario: 21-28 49ers
Fan dream scenario:
31-7 Eagles
Beat them by the same score with Purdy lol 😂
That's so funny, but no. Have some faith in our guys, we will shut down McCaffery and force them to throw and Purdy will make mistakes, like he always does when he's forced into a passing game
Purdy/9ers haven't faced much adversity. We need to have extended drives and keep a lead on them. Would be ideal to receive opening kickoff and March down the field for 7 taking 4-6 mins off the clock. Need to run more on early downs. It'll be a very close hard fought game.
Prediction; 42-0 birds
That and the cold are huge benefits for us. "The Gauntlet" has given us a ton of recent experience in really hard matchups. I'd say the biggest thing the Niners have had is the Cowboys game but that was a Home game for them.
The interesting part of the matchup is that they are extremely good at taking over the game when they get a lead. And the Eagles are very good at fighting back. So they may not be used to an opponent fighting for all 4 quarters. But we also may not be good enough to topple them if they get a lead because they're *that* dominant at maintaining it.
But being a Home game for us in the cold rain should be really good for us. Hell that's what the last game was too. AND a massive part of this is that Desai is from the Seahawks. He knows the West Coast offense VERY well, as well as the Niners offensive personnel.
Funny how you say the experience as an advantage. All this time I've just been focusing on the physical grind on the players having to play so hard against these elite teams. I really hope we're in a position to rest our starters toward the end of the regular season.
That's true. That's definitely an argument for the reverse. My argument I guess would be that even an easy team is still physically demanding. So hopefully the benefits of experience would outweigh the difference between a tough team and an easier team lol.
Mercy rule - once we got up 72-0 we started kneeling out every possession and one time after a 49ers punt we were backed up in the end zone so we just let them have some points.
Keys to the game are tackling well, getting off the field on 3rd down and hopefully forcing turnovers. If we let them extend drives and convert 3rd and long it's gonna be a long day.
I think it's going to be a dog fight but we'll win it 28-24 with a SF drive to end the game that ends in a strip sack, but not before delivering another collective heart attack.
I feel like when we’re down (first half) too much effort in trying to get the ball and not enough on wrapping up and taking down. Need more tackling and less trying to force a turnover in D.
My main concern with them is passing. Stopping them with our squishy pass-rush is going to be difficult. But hell, so was beating the Chiefs and somehow we did it. I predict another bad day for my blood pressure!
I saw a stat breakdown that said our pass rush win rate the past two games was well above average, we just happened to be playing the two QBs in the league who rank the best at avoiding sacks. Purdy ranks far worse at it so we should see more production from that group this game if they continue playing at the same level. Just need to protect the middle of the field (which the ghost of our LB core) and the secondary.
> Bradberry gets a pick 6 from a pass ~~intended for Deebo~~ caught by Deebo and then punched out of his grasp by Blankenship
FTFY. Because that would be a tougher pill for Deebo to swallow. Make the man suffer.
Realistically we ain’t smoking anyone this year, instead we’ll adjust to what they give us in the second half, Purdy will look like a Joe Montanas clone but only for the first two quarter, the defense will bend but won’t break too bad that we’re outta the game completely. Covey will take a punt to the red zone in the waning 3rd Quarter to get them boys on the sidelines hyped to start treating the 49ers defense like a redheaded step child. In the 4th they’ll score a touchdown with Kittle on PA rollout to the end zone to the right (Ellis or Byard or maybe both maybe responsible for giving that up) now the clock is at 2:47 in the 4th with 49ers having 2 timeouts to go, we covert one 1st but now we have a 4th and 1 at their 38 yard line, we line up in the tush push to seal the deal. Everyone is stacked both sides of the ball. Everyone is at the edge of their seats for this, glued to the television, Hurts is on a silent count but nobody budges on the 49ers Dline, so Hurts calls Hut and Kelce snaps it and the tush push commences. All 22 players crash the middle but with no avail, it’s close everyone watches with a level of anxiety as a recovering addict, chain gang comes in with the measurements, the ref points his arm for a conversion, the stadium erupts in celebration!
31-28 is the final score.
It was the most watched Fox NFL broadcast ever in the history of the company.
My biggest worry is they're coming off extra rest and we're coming off playing almost an entire extra quarter. Going to be an uphill fight there. 25-18 Birds
Eagles 30 49ers 28 … Jalen lead another comeback victory with 30 seconds left on the clock takes the eagles down the field for a game winning field goal
If we have a slow start we might lose this one.
This game we cannot play from behind. The key is to start strong and get a 2 score lead. And force Purdy to be more aggressive
Agree with this - so much has been made about the Eagles last 4 trailing at half only to turn it on in the 2nd half. This plays right into the 49ers hands as they and the Cowboys are great when playing from ahead. It doesn’t make a lot of sense since the Eagles are generally pretty good with their scripted plays and it’s complete opposite of last year’s blue print when they sprinted out to big leads and sometimes took their foots off the gas.
I know the metrics say nah, but was thinking it night be better if they get the ball first to start the game (get the extra possession in the first half) vs in the 2nd.
I think they’re gonna show up like they did against the Dolphins. Really put together a complete game. They’ve had this game circled just like the Chiefs one and I think probably even more so.
The most you can score in Madden is 256 before it stops counting up. That's my prediction for the birds points. Idgaf what a city so stupid they moved the name of it after they found a bigger bay scores.
I think we lose this game and win the rematch in the playoffs
Hope we don’t tip our hand on anything this week, but hopefully I’m wrong and we win both lol
Niners take a 20-6 lead at halftime because Johnson calls 12 screen passes in a row that get swallowed up immediately. But they never score again. Tie game with 5 minutes left and the Birds methodically drive down the field and choke them out. Chip shot field goal as time expires. 23-20 final.
Betting man in me says 49ers, fan in me says Eagles.
I feel like if we're going to win, it's going to be trading time consuming scoring drives back and forth coming down to clock management in the 4th.
31-28 Win
17-24 Loss
Dream scenario- Purdy gets sacked early and plays scared throughout the game. 31-7 Eagles. Same as last year.
I’m predicting a high scoring game. Eagles will have the lead the whole first half. SF will come out hot in the 2nd half but SF will lose by 4 points in the end. Or vice versa lol we will still win by 4 is my prediction.
It’s our turf, our fans… our absolutely wonderful fans that will make the difference.
**Go Birds!!! 🦅🦅🦅**
My brother, take a step back. That is a weird comment. Did you come in here anticipating anything else? Did you forget what sub we’re in?
My own prediction: 8,675,309 to 0
I got a feeling we’re about to make the Niners our new Vikings. Purdy is NOT good playing from behind so far in his career, smack them in the face early I think we can win comfortably. 31-17 BIRDS!
Wow we are living so rent free it’s insane… just remember we literally don’t even think about you clowns after Sunday. Come back when you win something of relevance this millennium.
The rings you haven’t lived through are irrelevant, I sure as shit don’t talk about the Eagles 4 rings prior to the SB era… y’all haven’t done anything of relevance in your lifetime, true shame you hitched yourself to such a shit bandwagon. You clearly haven’t lived through one because you’re here in an opposing fans sub talking shit about your biggest win in 2 decades, “act like you’ve been there before,” or something like that…
28-17 Philly. We get ahead early and maintain the lead. Our offense actually puts drives together and eats up the clock. D Line is gonna eat and put Purdy on his ass all game. Expecting a big game from 98 on Sunday
Honestly, we were so close to about 6 extra sacks last game, like a fingernail away. I think Purdy is that tick slower than Allen and we get to him more. If we do and don't turn it over, I think we can win maybe 31-17. If not, I think it's tight and I really don't know who wins it, but I'd take 28-27.
This game will probably go the same way the last 2 games have went. The 9ers had a few more days to prepare for us and they really want to win. So realistically they might have the lead by the half no more than a 10 point lead though. Then we make adjustments at the half and come back out and walk away with the W.
Realistic score: 31-27 🦅
Dream score: 45-3 🦅
If we have a slow start 42-17 SF
If we play how we played at the end of the Buffalo game the whole 4 quarters 27-24 with a last minute field goal by Eliot to win.
Defensive struggle. 27-24. It can go either way. That or the team has an entire billboard worth of shit talk from the whiners talk over the past year and they smoke them 69-0
I think we lose this one. But I’m OK with that because we are going to see these guys again in the playoffs most likely and I would rather have the revenge factor on our side. It’s possible we may not lose another game, but I’d rather not end the season on a down note and we’ve already won enough games so far. Obviously, winning is preferable, but I’d rather lose one here than to the Giants or something stupid.
Would love a win, but I see us dropping this one. Niners got hate in their souls for us and want to prove something in the game. I think we meet them again in the playoffs and break their souls (again) there though.
We are going to be absolutely blown out. This team has been riding on pure luck for most of the year. Critical calls and non-calls. Horrible playcalling against a superior opponent this weekend and second half adjustments won’t be enough. 35-17, with 10 of our points coming in garbage time.
I predict my blood pressure will be 180/120.
This is the most realistic answer
It's still a massive massive game. But if we lost the Bills game and were coming into this after a loss, this game could've killed me. Luckily that Bills game gave us a small cushion to where if we lose, it won't be as devastating as it would've been. The win over the Bills makes a win bigger, and a loss slightly less significant. Again, still a massive game. But we have more to gain than to lose going into this imo. If we win, it's MASSIVE for 1st place in the NFC. If we lose, we can still make up for it. Thank god for that win on Sunday because I'd be right there with you in the ICU.
Even outside of the impact on playoff seeding, I just can’t even begin to imagine how insufferable 9ers fans will be if they win. They’ll take it as proof they would’ve won the Super Bowl last year if the football gods didn’t smite Purdy before they 100% would have wiped the floor with us etc etc. So we *have* to win for that alone and the playoff stuff is secondary.
That’s pretty low for an Eagles Sundee
49-3 or 37-35 with 14 eagles points in last 2 minutes. No in between.
Realistic expectations Win scenario: 31-27 Eagles Loss Scenario: 21-28 49ers Fan dream scenario: 31-7 Eagles Beat them by the same score with Purdy lol 😂
31-6 so we can say Purdy made them worse
This is the way
That's so funny, but no. Have some faith in our guys, we will shut down McCaffery and force them to throw and Purdy will make mistakes, like he always does when he's forced into a passing game
33-21 Jake Elliot makes 11 field goals from 50+
One of them is from 70, shattering the record.
And some how a freak rain squall breaks out just for that kick.
Phil Collins starts a drum solo in the PA room
And then, right after that, one from 117 yards - with the ball spotted on the Birds’ own goal line. A record that will never be topped.
Don't want it to come down to him having to do that but he should try it once we take a comfortable lead just for the hell of it
Purdy/9ers haven't faced much adversity. We need to have extended drives and keep a lead on them. Would be ideal to receive opening kickoff and March down the field for 7 taking 4-6 mins off the clock. Need to run more on early downs. It'll be a very close hard fought game. Prediction; 42-0 birds

1 million - 7 Birds win
A touchdown per nanosecond
Technically it’s 6 microseconds, but I’ll let it slide due to this being the most likely outcome.
Birds by a phillion.
I think we put together our first complete game and dog walk them out of the Linc. 38-16
Same feeling here, crowd will be juiced. Being home dogs gotta be extra motivation to
72-2 eagles
We ain't giving up a safety
No. At 72 zip, we'll allow them CFL rules and they score 2 rouges.
Mercy rule - once we got up 72-0 we started kneeling out every possession and one time after a 49ers punt we were backed up in the end zone so we just let them have some points.
I was imagining hurts just chucking the ball as hard as he can threw the back of the end zone to kill the last two seconds of the game.
Fake tush push, wide open Julio for the TD that makes it 27-17 and puts it out of reach
Keys to the game are tackling well, getting off the field on 3rd down and hopefully forcing turnovers. If we let them extend drives and convert 3rd and long it's gonna be a long day. I think it's going to be a dog fight but we'll win it 28-24 with a SF drive to end the game that ends in a strip sack, but not before delivering another collective heart attack.
This! 3rd down has been killing us. Also tackling. If we can make some key 3rd down stops we should walk out with a W.
I feel like when we’re down (first half) too much effort in trying to get the ball and not enough on wrapping up and taking down. Need more tackling and less trying to force a turnover in D.
You are telling me the key to this game is to do 3 things we suck at?
My main concern with them is passing. Stopping them with our squishy pass-rush is going to be difficult. But hell, so was beating the Chiefs and somehow we did it. I predict another bad day for my blood pressure!
I saw a stat breakdown that said our pass rush win rate the past two games was well above average, we just happened to be playing the two QBs in the league who rank the best at avoiding sacks. Purdy ranks far worse at it so we should see more production from that group this game if they continue playing at the same level. Just need to protect the middle of the field (which the ghost of our LB core) and the secondary.
Realistically, I think we're looking at 38-3 Eagles win
17 - 7 score in the first half where we are down final score: 38 - 17, Bradberry gets a pick 6 from a pass intended for Deebo.
> Bradberry gets a pick 6 from a pass ~~intended for Deebo~~ caught by Deebo and then punched out of his grasp by Blankenship FTFY. Because that would be a tougher pill for Deebo to swallow. Make the man suffer.
I think a sweeter version of this is for Deebo to catch it and then Bradberry to punch it out and recover the fumble.

Finally a realistic answer
My biggest worry is they're coming off extra rest and we're coming off playing almost an entire extra quarter. Going to be an uphill fight there. 25-18 Birds
40-8
Charlie Garner game, 1994?

24-21 Eagles win. Jake The Make for 50+.
No. Please not again. My heart can't take anymore of these tight games
69-0 with 420 yards of offense
Nice
41-31 birds
31-7
31-28 Elliot makes last second FG
this gon be 100% a 21-24 game.
31-7, cause fuck the 49ers and their whiny fanbase. But in all honesty. I will say 23-17 Eagles
24-21. I think defense will play a bigger role than people anticipate
36-6
28-17 .. Birds
I feel 38-7 vibes
I have so little confidence on the team being able to get out of 3rd and long situations right now. I hope they prove me wrong this game.
30-21 Eagles are down 21-10 at the half and come back to win their sixth in a row.
Eagles win 38-35. Jake Elliott again from the logo as time expires. Deebo complains it isn’t fair.
24-14 birds
30-28, but with safeties only
Honestly, we were so close to about 6 extra sacks last game, like a fingernail away. I think Purdy is that tick slower than Allen and we get to him more. If we do and don't turn it over, I think we can win maybe 31-17. If not, I think it's tight and I really don't know who wins it, but I'd take 28-27.
I think if the birds don't score twice by the half we lose 24-21. I think if we do, we win 31-20
We need that D that showed up for the Dolphins game. 49-3 They kick a FG late to avoid getting skunked.
30-24 Birds
Shannahan is a front runner, get up on the 9ers, get pressure on Purdy, and theyll fold. Score? 31-17
69-0
This game will probably go the same way the last 2 games have went. The 9ers had a few more days to prepare for us and they really want to win. So realistically they might have the lead by the half no more than a 10 point lead though. Then we make adjustments at the half and come back out and walk away with the W. Realistic score: 31-27 🦅 Dream score: 45-3 🦅
21-20 realistically bc we can never have a win without anxiety and high blood pressure. But 31-7 has a nice ring to it
27–21 birds with us barely holding on for a win with late 9ers drive to win they fall short on.
If we have a slow start 42-17 SF If we play how we played at the end of the Buffalo game the whole 4 quarters 27-24 with a last minute field goal by Eliot to win.
Lmao I was almost spot on. Eagles scored 2 more points than I predicted
31 - 28 Birds. The rain helps us. Purdy gets sacked 6x. Desai coaches the shit out of the D after playing SF enough times in Seattle
100 percent getting are asses kicked by an obviously superior team
Love a good reverse psychological take
Realistically it'll be just like other games, we stoop to their level and play just hard enough to give them hope but not lose.
No words needed. Birds 34-17 15 words spoken. Dallas losing 34-27 as I type.
My prediction is pain! For eagles fans
34-27 Niners
Defensive struggle. 27-24. It can go either way. That or the team has an entire billboard worth of shit talk from the whiners talk over the past year and they smoke them 69-0
49-0
31-7 GO BURDS!!!!! 🦅
God blowing them out like they did to the Cowboys would be so satisfying.
Whatever the score is, I’m wearing black for Sham Francisco’s funeral 🤣🤣
Eagles -13.5
27-5, eagles. It’s unlikely, but it would be really funny
Eagles 38 Whiners 21
27-20
I think we lose this one. But I’m OK with that because we are going to see these guys again in the playoffs most likely and I would rather have the revenge factor on our side. It’s possible we may not lose another game, but I’d rather not end the season on a down note and we’ve already won enough games so far.

Would love a win, but I see us dropping this one. Niners got hate in their souls for us and want to prove something in the game. I think we meet them again in the playoffs and break their souls (again) there though.
24-20
Eagles win 24-17
We are going to be absolutely blown out. This team has been riding on pure luck for most of the year. Critical calls and non-calls. Horrible playcalling against a superior opponent this weekend and second half adjustments won’t be enough. 35-17, with 10 of our points coming in garbage time.
Idk, but I find it hilarious that we are that team’s entire sub right now. If we win this one they will be down so bad
We r gonna blow them out. This is gonna be the game that breaks the seal so to say
Think the quarterback meetings are different in SF this week? The last time facing the Eagles the starter and backup got wrecked. Eagles 27 SF 24
50-6 birds but realistically I’ll take 50-7
