Close game. Beagles didn't impress me.
I dont know. The whole Brady return hype had the crowd fired up. Then that big comeback. The NE defense also looked very good. The Eagles overcame a lot and ultimately cruised. This could have easily been an upset.

I suppose we will see but in my (totally unbiased) eyes 49ers are class of NFC. Beagles and Cowgirls can fight it out for second best but as we know there is no second best.
reply
The only question for the 49ers was if Purdy was legit and that seems to have been answered. I think they're the class of the League.
reply
Purdy is very poised for a young QB. I don't expect him to be a top 5 QB but if he doesn't turn the ball over and uses his playmakers, coupled with a top 3 D in the league the 49ers should cruise to a bye.
Of course it is the 49ers and they can't keep a QB healthy so he probably gets hurt next week and then we living on pins and needles with Darnold.
reply
If he's just a competent QB, and they don't have horrible injury luck, that's quite a team.
reply
Kittle and Bosa didn't even factor in. Kittle was questionable due to hamstring issue and Bosa only practiced twice with the team due to hold out. Bosa and Hargrave saw a lot of double teams but the other guys stepped up.
My only concern is the OLine. They had a hell of a time with Watt. When they play the Cowboys or Eagles and have 3 or 4 guys that can get after the QB they are really going to have to move the pocket and get the ball out quick to guys like CMC, Debo and Kittle.

I watched some of the niners game too. They looked great, but they weren't tested. The Eagles were the only team of the three who were challenged at all.
reply
Steelers are not as bad as they looked. 49ers need to clean up the penalties and the OLine is a concern. Watt is incredible but he pretty much bowled over McKivitz. 49ers freed up a lot of cap space when they did the Bosa deal and restructured Kittle and Williams contracts so hopefully they can trade for some OLine help, but not many great OLinemen out there.
