Hey, was anyone surprised to read that Joe Judge was an extremely shitty qb coach and that he alienated other coaches and players on the Pats, especially Mac Jones, his primary responsibility? Word has it he’s been relieved of that job but will stay with the team in a reduced role. The pathetic dude will be coaching high school in five years for sure.
/thanks, I needed to get that off my chest
To The Game!
Niners/Eagles:
-San Fran has not allowed an rb to rush for more than 70 yards in 27 straight tilts. This year they allowed an average of only 79 yards per game-but more about that later.
-In what figures to be a close game it might be noteworthy to mention that the Eagles went for it on 4th down 32 times, converting 22 of them-that was good for second overall. Across the aisle, Baby Shanny leans towards old school thinking in that he likes to turn things over to his D, trying to win the field advantage game as well as trying to get turnovers.
-It says on the intranets that a rook qb has never won a Conference Championship game. One of the reasons that Purdy has been successful is that he is more slippery in the pocket than Jimmy G. This takes me back to the Giants ’91 Super Bowl win and the runup to it. When Simms went down he was replaced by Jeff Hostetler who was much more mobile and defenses weren’t able to adjust in time. I think Purdy is benefiting from the same sort of circumstance.
-When Philly has lost they’ve given up some big rushing totals. The Commies beat them and ran for 152, the Cowboys went for 115 and the Saints had 129.
-Under The Radar Guy: Keep an eye on Niners wr Jauan Jennings-if he’s in on 1st or 2nd down they are likely running the ball because he is an exceptional blocker. If he’s around for 3rd down Purdy will likely be looking for him as his nickname is “Third and JJ”.
-Philly was second in the league for explosive pass plays. (gains of 20+ and 40+ yards) Hurts ended up 4th in deep pass DVOA and 5th in completed air yards per pass attempt. The Niners have given up a pass of 46+ yards in their last five games. Some wr’s have had great games against them-Lamb had 117, Davante 153, JuJu 124 and MVS had 111.
-Since week 13 the Eagles have played only one team that has a defensive DVOA better than 16th in the league-in those games they averaged 33.6 points but vs the Saints (#1 overall) they scored a mere 10.
Have at it.
I’m sure the Iggles will win, but the fact that all of this shit is frustrating Philly fans makes my heart feel warm.
incoming safety dance
…so…close…
i’m rooting for the niners because a good friend of mine from my first job was a huge fan, this dude was such a great guy. he had a stroke and completely fell apart, this bright, funny guy was a shell. talking to him was heartbreaking. he passed on two years ago, and the world became much less funny and much colder.
RIP Cade. You were one of a kind.
49ers: “Can you ship us the stuff you put in your QB’s leg?”
Chiefs: “Hell, no! We need that tonight!”
49ers: “Look, do you want to play Philadelphia in the Super Bowl?!”
Chiefs: “…its on the way.”
THIS GAME I CALL IT A TESTICULAR TORSION BECAUSE BIG SACKS ARE DISRUPTING PLAY
Philly has been picking on cb Ward and Batman is not impressed.
just run the ball, this QB is not able to complete a pass
Is everybody on the fuckng field drunk?
Seems like there are a lot of ways they could check something like that with Technology ™ rather than requiring visual confirmation of something that’s designed to be visually unobtrusive. The ‘L’ in NFL must stand for Luddites

I’d have thought that the camera might have vibrated a bit if the wires got hit hard enough, and so Skycam video might have been able to confirm a hit. But maybe it’s got super image stabilization powerz or such.
Or maybe the opposite where it’s moving around so much that you can’t tell if it got hit.
They’re gonna be tossing 12 volts in the city of Brotherly Love.
Assault & Battery Love
Another Shazam ad. Goddammit, if Homer were alive today, he’d be all “Again with the superpowers? Feh.”
To be fair, Homer Simpson would also agree.
Ok, this was NAWT a boring first quarter like I was expecting. Not the normal sort of interesting, but interesting nonetheless.
Has the ball hit a wire before? I remember a few Jerraltron hits, but no wires.
Favor the home team in a holding no-call TD, coddle the visitors in wire punt. Typical Hussey behavior.
You know what else feels good? Brock Purdy’s arm after they shot him up with all the things.
Boy if only there was some kind of video replay system that could show the last play in slow motion.
I mean, physics alone says that punt hit something.
Might avoid the clean sheet now
Birds have trouble seeing glass buildings and wires
this should be re-kicked, but since the niners are down to their 4th string qb, the refs are gonna give them the good field position
just like nhl refs, we gotta keep this game close
Crowd digging out the batteries
Only the triple AAA’s, gotta save the D’s for the Superb Owl.
Car batteries for Pro Bowl
Security: “Sir, what is that under your coat?”
Philly Guy: “Nothing. I’m, uhhh, pregnant. Yeah, that’s it!”
Roughing the Skycam?
It’s good that they get to work out all the kinks during this rehearsal…what’s that? This is actually all going to count? Well shit.
Hurry up
Middle Fozz Spawn watching Good Fellas, i have to admit I’ve been using several lines from that movie as teaching moments.
game is cursed
Brock Purdy – softer than 4-ply tissue paper
Fozz’s Kid: “Not completely sure but I think my middle name is ‘Shine Box’.”
/oh fuck, put this comment underneath Fozz’s above comment
No worries. His middle name is “DO I Amuse You?”
Who was it that said one of these teams couldn’t play with a man down like in the earlier soccer games?
I think we have that scenario right here.
Toluca and Wrexham couldn’t take advantage of the advantage. Can the Eagles?
rotten evil Philly. nothing good happens there
Did he actually hit the Cambot wires?
Them capitals ain’t coming back, DonT
How the FUCK you doing boys?
My word, these golden-domed San Franciscans are going down faster than Aaron Rodgers and his posse when they go out for a night on the town in the Castro District! Without their Purdy leader, they are toothless and disorganized on offence. No excuses from here on out, Liberty Bellends!
….Purdy man lives?
Might actually be a good thing, takes pressure off and he likes defying expectations!
San Clara Defense is going to have to score points too today
Niners need a turnover to halt the bleeding-and I say that with the score being only 7-0.
So Purdy played half a dozen snaps, then fumbled and sprained his funny bone or something. That’s gotta be a hell of a disappointment for that kid. Although he’ll probably get plenty of chances in upcoming years, and maybe he’ll even grow to be as irritating as Brady.
Livin’ the dream
Or maybe he’ll get the jay cutler treatment and no matter where he goes people will hold this against him
Patrick Mahomes: quasi-ded.
Brock Purdy: prudy-ded.
Its a good thing the Bengals activated their 3rd string QB today, because with whatever demon curse hitting the QBs right now, they may need him.
It looked like Burrow just narrowly avoided the high ankle sprain bug that was going around last week because of the snow letting his leg slide away instead of getting trapped
Iggles treating Santa Clara like that hitchhiking robot.
I havent seen this many dead miners since the Monangah disaster
Boss is hurt now? Wow!
Chris Pratt’s Mario better be the son of a Mario voiced by Charles Martinet. That way it can explain why an Italian plumber from Brooklyn sounds like Chris Pratt’s speaking voice and we don’t have to hear a bunch of over-the-hill virgins complaining.
at least every other character seems right (bowser most of all)
Plus even Princess Peach. Taylor-Joy is voicing her less like “plot device to be rescued” and more like “the best character we all chose in Super Mario Bros. 2”.
For me it’s either that or The Banshees of Inisherin. That’s a lie – I’m not gonna see either one of them.
this isn’t happening. It is all a dream
/Bobby Ewing steps out of the shower
If you have dreams like this you might want to reconsider what you’re eating before bed
Be careful. I tried that after the 2016 Wild Card Implosion to the Steelers. Now I can’t be certain if the Bengals’ current run is real or just a dream.
How much toradol does Santa Clara travel with? Purdy is about to find out.
Hippo also curious. Because reasons.
And Bosa!
This is a slow motion car wreck.
fate will never not fuck kyle for 28-3 and i am here for it
You must be Joshing if you think Josh Johnson can win this game for the Miners
/Shows self out
Jeebus, this could get ugly, even for an event in Philly.
Cue the flying batteries
Fine. Can Bosa at least maim Hurts before the game is over.
Josh Johnson? I guess they couldn’t get John Joshson
John Josh (JJ) Johnson
Alright, this game has resolved itself.
I think that QB is Purdy dead.
