I figured I would go ahead and get the threads started for tomorrows games and start a separate thread for the NFC and AFC championship games. Discuss the 49ers/Eagles matchup here.

I have the Eagles; I think they take it with home-field advantage. Big test for Purdy in this environment.

I will be incredibly congratulatory of the 49ers if they pull this off Would this be 13 in a row? Great Defense. Great bounce back year for McCaffery. Purdy is a tremendous story. Enjoy the Game. Eagles 38 Niners 3

I can’t wait for this game - should be an outstanding matchup. I especially look forward to seeing the battle at the line of scrimmage - these are probably the 2 best pass rushing teams in the NFL, and both O-Lines are solid as well, so it will be interesting to watch that battle. Both defenses are really strong at every position, so I’m not sure how much offense there will be, I think the Eagles offense is more capable of explosive plays but the Niners offense is a bit deeper. I’m predicting the Niners to win in a close one, there’s something about them I really like and they are red hot right now.

Close game until the 49ers embarrass the fried chickens in the 4th.

Even though I’m rooting for him. Purdy’s luck runs out in this one. Rookie QB in his first road playoff game against the #1 defense. McCaffrey can only do so much. Eagles win.

I think the niners have a better running attack but Philly is good at exploiting the one weakness in the niners defense, long balls outside the numbers. Be fun to see what happens.

I’d love the Niners to win, but they won’t. Burrows is a winner, as Mahomes is wounded. Philly 34-17, Cincy 41-27.

Should have been 1 thread as the games are back to back and there's a lot of cross talk about the 4 teams.

I have no idea about San Francisco and Philadelphia. Very interested to see how those two teams match up.

Wow, seems a tough one to call with all the weapons both teams have on offense. I know San Francisco can bring the pressure on defense and I like Philadelphia's potential for takeaways.

This is going to be an intense game. It will be interesting to see how the Eagles defend the 49ers stacked offense.
Do they concentrate on the run and make Purdy beat them or do they drop back and cover the passing attack?
Same type of situation for the 49ers as well. Stop Hurts at all cost or stack the line and stop the run?
You have to like either team in this one. Both of them can beat ya in different ways. However, the Eagles have a slight advantage in the passing game while the running game is a wash for the most part. I don't think either team has a huge advantage when running. Defense is also pretty evenly matched. I might give an edge to the 49ers because of Bosa. Tough matchup...
Also, to add more suspense to the whole thing, this is a Hurts/Purdy rematch. They played against each other as collage QBs in 2019 when Purdy was with Iowa State and Hurts was with Oklahoma.
Here's the highlight reel... about 16 minutes long. It's worth a look if you have to time to spare....

So many reasons to root against the Eagles, but chief among them is that Nick Sirriani is such an insufferable douche. Having to hear from him for the next 2 weeks would be fucking annoying.

And the best defensive player for SF is already hurt.
Fucking sucks.

Fred Warner injured on the 2nd play from scrimmage, huge blow to the 49ers if he can’t return.

Sanders runs it in for the TD and the Eagles lead it 7-0. Great start for Philly.
