They're still going to be a tough team to run on. Jordan Davis is one of the best run defending DTs in the league. Carter is very formidable for a rookie. I worry whether or not Brendel & Feliciano/Burford can make some headway against those two for four quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are weaker on the edges so I expect a lot of outside zone runs and this is a match up that probably suits Mitchell best. He should be getting around 10 or so carries. The Eagles pass rush is going to win and win fairly often so Purdy is going to have to get out of the pocket and use his legs to run for first downs or to buy time. He had a few close misses towards the sideline on Thursday but that's one way I see us creating big plays. The LBs can be taken advantage in coverage so CMC may not have a huge game running the ball but he should be able to do his fair share of damage in the passing game. Lenoir in the slot is going to have to make some big boy tackles on Swift and Hurts. This is why they like him in the slot so much but it's not going to be easy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fair to say that if the Niners are to win this game it's gonna have to be on Brock's shoulders as the Eagles will neutralize the Niners run game. The only reason the Bills did well on the ground against the Eagles was b/c of Josh Allen being impossible to tackle. We need to Brock to run but also need him not to get knocked out of the game. If the Niners front 4 can do to the Eagles offensive line like what the Chiefs front 4 did to them a couple of weeks ago then they can slow down the Eagles offense and keep it close. The key is to not let Hurts get outside the pocket as let him throw and hope he doesn't make too many big plays from the pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevators_rule Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I'd be shocked if the 9ers lost this game. Outsider perspective, but I think you guys are the Eagles kryptonite. Great defense, disciplined offense with tons of playmakers. I think 9ers win by 2+ possessions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsider perspective, but I think you guys are the Eagles kryptonite. Great defense, disciplined offense with tons of playmakers. I think 9ers win by 2+ possessions. I think the Eagles make it a one possession game late in the game. I was looking at the stats of the Eagles playoff game from last year and we held them to 3.8 YPP. Hurts had a 4.8 YPA and the run game averaged 3.4 YPC. Now, some of that is due to the game being a multiple score game in the 2nd half so the Eagles were just running the ball and that hurt their rushing averages. But even the game got away, Hurts was held in check and couldn't get nothing going, especially down the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdy tossing 4 TDs in the 4th quarter to orchestrate an epic comeback sounds good to me. Anyway, the unreliable napkin-math in my headspace tells me the 49ers win 27-17, and the weather won't be as bad as predicted. Hope it happens, but more than anything I hope there are no major injuries. Still a lot of season left for both SB-contending squads.

He's second in the NFL in yards/punt return (14.8). Eagles as a whole have been very good on special teams (4th in EPA on STs). Yeah I don't like that.

jonnguy2015 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I think this ends up looking like a typical Eagles game this season, Niners take the lead at the half and going into the 4th, then a little Hurts magic, the Eagles defense tightening up, and Shanahan being Shanahan in the 4th quarter brings them back. Purdy plays well, but isn't able to drive them down the field to win or at least take it to OT, so we get the usual suspects talking about how this proves he is really just an overrated system QB. Of course, the Niners have a tendency to completely prove me wrong and win by at least 3 scores(@PIT, @JAX, @SEA) whenever I pick them to lose, so make of that what you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 Lane Johnson to play this week. Glad he's playing. Will be a good test for Bosa and the boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_DeBerg_Fan_420 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 This game will test the 49ers and Eagles. It will also test Wilks' love for man coverage. I don't imagine wanting to attack Hurts and the Eagles with much man coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_DeBerg_Fan_420 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) How many D linemen are active on gameday? What would a formation with like every big player on the field look like? If Philly uses all 11 guys for the Tush Push, we could bring in all 300Lb Dudes to get some weight to the counter push. There has to be a way to stop it dammit. Maybe we should call the All Blacks (NZ Rugby team) for advise.

J-ALL-DAY Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Dude is legit one of the most humble athletes you will see. Still baffles me why Deebo said what he said about him. I get being salty with the way everything ended, but Bradberry does not even talk trash on the field lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49ersfan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Would not be surprised if this game comes down to Purdy needing to lead a GW drive & Moody make a GW FG. Potential redemption not just from the NFCCG but the Browns game earlier this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
