Here's to hoping Purdy actually sucks in the rain which I think is far from confirmed at this point lol.

Nabbs4u Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 This would be 3 games in a row with sloppy rainy weather for the Eagles. KC, Buff, SF? Does Purdy or that team struggle in rain games? Keep seeing 49er fans not happy about any potential bad weather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdy struggled gripping the ball vs Cleveland but overall hasn't had many rain games so it's more of a question mark than anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny/Patrick Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 When Clowney injured Wentz in his MVP season I think Philly fans would have more sympathy for us had they not won the SB, I remember a few posters here that were quite livid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He injured him 2 years later in the Wild Card round on a blatantly dirty hit that gave him a concussion. And I don't mean a questionable hit. Dude straight up dove at him with the crown of his helmet when he was already on the way to the ground. Not very similar situations when Purdy just got his arm hit on a speed rush by Reddick. I absolutely felt sympathy for reasonable fans who were just upset that their QB got hurt. I get it. That sucks. Pretty sure most fans on here were saying that the day it happened. That said, when your fanbase and players start going on and on about how they would have won and that the Eagles were going to exposed but Purdy got hurt so it couldn't happen.... It gets old pretty quick. That is what people took exception to. We were getting ready to play in the SB and yet the headlines in the media was all about the Niners players complaining about the NFCCG. Yeah losing Purdy sucked. Any reasonable fan agrees that completely changed the game. It is totally valid to feel robbed.... that doesn't just validate the behavior that occurred afterwards though. But fans and players complaining about things like this is just part of sports. Having a bit of extra skin in the game only adds to the entertainment.

Not sure there was much of a chance left for a 3rd stringer to come back against a top team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 4 hours ago, Manny/Patrick said: My fault, thought he got injured 2017, but yeah the fans are making this more of a big deal than the players It definitely stung the players at first...and honestly, it should have. I think its probably a bad sign if it didn't sting you. You should feel like you had an opportunity taken from you through ****ty luck. That's totally understandable. The eagles shouldn't apologize for winning that game, but it's okay for the niners players to feel like they were cheated (not by the eagles, just the situation). That game leading into radio row immediately following it made it seem so much worse because it's the biggest talk week of the nfl season and everyone was giving interviews when that pain was still fresh. But now I think most of them are kind of out of that zone and it's become way more about the fans feeling a certain way. At least I would hope so for most players. I'm sure that there are some (looking at you Deebo) who are going to talk their crap no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
