Give credit for the win. But you played against a 4 string qb and then no qb from the 3rd quarter on. Get real.

I feel the same way. I think the Eagles were the best team yesterday but they did look beatable. They were much better against the Giants. If they play KC the way they played the Giants, they’ll win. But yesterday, eh. What difference does it make anyway? We’re Penn State, we invented winning ugly. SMH can’t understand some of the thinking here. It’s almost as if you’re trying to convince yourselves that the Eagles are good enough to win. Yeah, they are good enough to win, I learned this last week. Go with it.

C’mon man. At least be honest and say you don’t give credit for the win. Writing, “Give credit for the win. But….”, means you really don’t. The “but” kills your magnanimity.
Are you a Cowgirls fan or vaGiants fan or a Bosa brother? You seem pretty upset the 49ers got their arses handed to them by the NFC Champion Phildelphia Eagles and someone in NYC turned the Empire State Building green to celebrate the win and you will be hearing Eagles, Eagles, Eagles, for the next couple of weeks.
Think they had an easy path. If they beat kc I will give credit. But to get all excited about beating a team with no qb? Ummm. I would chalk it up to a win is a win is a win.
I’m a big fan of Hurts and was disappointed to see him miss a number of throws that a SB-winning QB can’t afford to miss. I’m not sure if this is an ongoing problem or a particular area of concern but yesterday the location on his passes just wasn’t good enough. I have a lot of confidence in him, though.
I read somewhere that yesterday KC had three starting WRs out. Mahomes with two weeks to heal and his WRs back, that’s a challenge any day.

If they can’t pass the ball at all and go 3 and out every single time and at to that those two turnovers what chance does a defense have. Why the eagles kept hurts in after it was 21-7 is beyond me. I was saying just take them out becasue I have never seen a team in my 50 years of watching football not play without a qb.
It just happened last year in LSU vs KSU bowl game and the year before in a Denver game.
Most high ankle sprains are slow to recover not to mention very painful. I can't imagine he'll be 100%. He doesn't seem to have much quit in him though, that's for sure.
I really didn’t think Mahomes would have played as well as he did yesterday. That drive to go up 20-13, right after the Cincinnati TD drive, that was awesome. And that TD throw on that particular drive, I haven’t seen many better.
Or, spend the afternoon sloooowly going through the “weather forecast” thread.Might tune in for the ads....

I’ll go through it quickly.
Wow I didn’t know that. No scholarships and no qbs are two different things. Did lsu win? Nope. They got hammered!!
Denver had 1 qb. Not zero! They got hammered 31-3. So…. Not a challenge for Philly to win yesteday
Also, it’s likely that Mahomes’ ankle will deteriorate during the game.
Of course a team is going to be at a huge disadvantage without a QB.
I just found it amusing that you've been watching football for 50 years and didn't know that it's happened twice in the last 2 seasons.
And not sure what you mean regarding Denver. Their top 4 QBs were out due to Covid and WR Kendall Hinton played QB.
Lol. Again they had qbs. But forgive me that you are all
Knowing genius who knows everything.
ALL 4 QBs were out. They started a WR. They did not have a QB available to play. I can't make it any simpler.
The famous qb fill in for me was "small hands" Tom Matte, but it was over 50 yrs ago.

Tom Matte, Emergency Quarterback for Baltimore Colts, Dies at 82 (Published 2021)
A gritty running back, he was enlisted to replace Johnny Unitas and his backup as quarterback in critical games in 1965. He wore a wristband to remember the plays.

At least he played qb at wake forest for 3 years before switching to wr. He could throw the ball at least.
So don’t know what you are arguing but again if you are excited that the eagles crushed the No qb niners than good for you.
I was thrilled to see the Eagles beat the 49ers and go to the Super Bowl!
Go Birds!!
I was happy as well. Didn’t want the niners having a chance going for their 6th. Wasn’t worried, I knew eagles would crush them after watching that niners cowboys debacle.
Here’s the thing, the NFL use to have 45 up for the game and 46 was a third QB, but there were rules. They eliminated that rule and let you have 46 up, your choice on if 46 was a QB or not. So the 49 ers made their own bed only having 2 QB ready, they could have had 3 if they wanted ( the Bengals did) so it’s on them. I don’t feel sorry for them
How did the Eagles smoke the SF defense? They had two gift touchdowns in the first half, ten points in the second half, 269 total yards, 3.8 ypp. They had 416 yards against NYG, 6.0 ypp. Offense wise, they need to do better against Kansas City than they did yesterday. Come the Super Bowl, if the Philadelphia O plays like they did against NYG, they’ll win. If they play like they did yesterday, well, it’ll get uncomfortable.
I’ll be off for the rest of the evening. Good night!

He was 4 for 4 before he went out. Who knows what may have happenedYeah, they labeled him “Mr Irrelevant” and he showed why. One hit and he was done.
1965 NFL playoffs included Tom Matte a former Ohio State qb who was a running back for the Colts playing qb. The Packers had Paul Hornung as the back-up.

Romo and nantz had said he went 4 for 4 and 100 percent completion rate as they laughed. Guess they were wrong.
Biggest problem for the 49 ers was the coaching. Eagles score before half w like 130 to go. The 9ers could have run out the half go in down 14-7 but no they had to try to move it downfield, give up a sack n fumble Eagles score again now it’s 21-7
The 9 ers got the ball to start the second half. If the score is 14-7 you could keep it on the ground, throw when you want to, keep the Eagles from Teeing off
But oh your coach is a genius b
That’s some serious Desmond Howard/ ESPN level deep insight right there.
And PSU proved inferior to Iowa when they knocked SC out of the game in 2022??
