Looks like 49ers may be down to ‘‘em qb mccaffery after purdy and Johnson go down

[cbisbig]

Jalen hurts has to be the strongest QB in the NFL

[cbisbig]

The 49ers are in trouble they cannot throw the ball
They would be better off with McCaffrey in the wildcat

[DrSchadenfreude]

It's a shame that Brock Purdy got hurt in the first quarter.

I hate to see a championship game decided by injuries.

Josh Johnson got cut by the Broncos in the pre-season.

never in my life have I ever seen a playoff game in which 1 team had so many things go wrong, be it bad luck or bad penalties or bad injuries. wow.

I give the eagles credit for taking advantage of their opportunities. but they got 31 pts on just 265 total yds thanks to a lot of stuff.

1st td drive they benefit on a smith catch that really wasn’t, setting up a td.

purdy gets injured on sf’s 6th play of the game rendering his right arm useless and forcing them to turn to a 4th string qb who’s been on 13 different teams.

philly gets bailed out 3 times by 49er penalties giving them first downs on another td drive.

the 4th string qb fumbles a snap right in his hands then boots the ball twice on the ground, setting up the eagles on a SHORT field for a 21-7 lead.

johnson gets knocked out by a concussion forcing shanahan to bring a qb back in who couldn’t throw early in the 3rd. purdy threw 1 weak screen pass the rest of the game. sure is easier to defend an offense when you know they can’t throw.

eagles get bailed out again on a roughing the kicker call (sure did looked like the philly blocking back rode him right into the punter to me), extending another td drive.

again, give the eagles credit. they took advantage of a every break and didn’t give the niners any openings. they’ve had an incredible season. but they will need to play much much better imho in 2 weeks in order to bring home the lombardi imho.

Bailed out?
The 49ers made mistake after mistake penalty wise, and SF offensive line could not stop Haason Reddick
And injuries to players, or just part of the game

I dunno. I do not believe I have ever heard of a team losing 4 qbs.

The 87 patriots used five quarterbacks during the regular season

the smith catch was obviously not a catch if you paid attention to smiths initial reaction.  he didn't sell it very well but thankfully the initial replays were inconclusive.

the 4th string QB probably fumbled b/c of lack of reps.  that's just what happens unless you practice all the time.  as fans, we take it for granted but all it takes is taking your eye off the ball for a split second.  

the eagles punt hitting the camera wires set up san fran's only score so we can't ignore that.  

eagles were fortunate.  but they won.  and play again.  and hopefully they are fortunate again.  history won't remember all the mistakes made by san fran when we look back at the season. 

in 2011, san fran's kyle williams fumbled a punt return in overtime against the giants which gave the giants the nfc title game.  giants beat new england to win super bowl.  

in 2009, favre throws an atrocious INT when the vikings were in FG range at the end of a tie game against the saints. saints win and then beat colts in super bowl.

in 1990, san fran's roger craig fumbled against the giants at the end of the nfl title game when san fran was up 13-12.  giants kick fg and beat buffalo in the super bowl. 

in 2015, green bay's brandon bostick fails to recover an onside kick against seattle.  seattle winds up winning the nfl title.  

these are examples off the top of my head.  my point is, sometimes you just get lucky.

agreed. though your examples above are single plays instead of a 60 minute nightmare that san francisco endured yesterday. again, don't misunderstand me. the eagles are the most complete team in the league this year. they deserved the win. they should be favored to beat kc. but it was amazing to me that philly was able to put up 31 points on the league's best defense with just 265 total yards and no defensive/special teams scores. the injuries (really bad luck) and penalties (uncharacteristic for the niners this year, but obviously of their own doing yesterday) was fascinating to watch. and the chiefs better hope that mahomes and all his offensive weapons heal up in the next two weeks... they're going to need them. but I do think philly's offense will need to be better. as odd as that sounds...

reddick was and is awesome. but the situation made him even more awesome against johnson at qb and then in the 2nd half when the 49ers could only attempt 1 pass due to the qb injuries. sorry, 2 passes, mccaffery threw one to nobody in the 4th qtr from the wildcat.

They should’ve replaced Purdy with McCaffrey much sooner and ran the wildcat the rest of the game in my opinion

w/hindsight, I agree. mccaffery found some gaps and had the nice screen pick up early in the 3rd when purdy first returned and the eagles still had to defend the pass, but it didn't take long to see he could not (and did not for the rest of the game) physically even attempt a throw downfield.
