NFC Championship Game Thread: 49ers at Eagles

I don't know what SF is going to do without Ross Dwelley at TE.

We will 2 threads so if Blair needs his fix, he can do that one.

And, of course they did:

I shall endeavor to accommodate my followers with a pithy thread title for the matinee. Thanks for believing in me and Fedya sucks.

Interested to see how Purdy does, but the second game is the one I'm really looking forward to.

I think the bubble is going to burst on Purdy.  He benefits greatly from a stud defense and ridiculous skill players on offense.  

Can you imagine 12 playing in SF?  Good Christ...

IMO, the battle in the NFCCG will be between the Eagles O line and the SF pass rush.

I missed her other work.  No Grammy for that anthem singing.

I have the Eagles.

How many keys used in that national anthem?

Don't have a rooting interest in this one.

The Philly fans I know have been insufferable pricks. Of the group, Would like to see the Bengals win it all.

Just tell Purdy he’s playing the Hawkeyes.  Can’t beat ‘em.

Good Lord, that anthem was a roller coaster ride!

Pulling for Eagles (fewer Superb Bowl trophies than Pack) feeling like 49ers are on a roll though:

28-24 Niners

Pulling for Phillie.

Warner got fucked up

Warner on the deck. Grasping his collarbone?

Warnerya be a big loss.

Hopefully for the Whiners, Warner is OK. About the best in the biz

We should call the mechanism of adding “ya” to every name, Iowa-Latin.

A Oren Burks sighting

Burks in the house lol

It didn’t ring your bell?

Rt tackle looks like he's moving a tic early.

Lane Johnson ripped groin that’s a grown man playing out there today

Wow

Thomas, Jackson and Mitchell tend to get important snaps, though.

That ball bounced

Ball hit the ground?

Man, Philly didn't have much trouble on that drive.
Purdy may have his work cut out for him trying to keep up.

Smart, well-coached team.

Don't know if D. Smith caught it and he came up signalling to get the play off right away.

Eagles weren't stupid, they called that next play damn fast.

What an awesome drive and score.

Friendly reminder that if the absolutely loaded 49ers should happen to lose in the NFC Championship game for the second year in a row then SF might be in the market for a former CAL QB who grew up in Nor. Cal. rooting for the team.

Go Iggles and drive up that trade market.

Def well-coached.  When was the last time you saw a WR get up immediately and basically say "I don't think I caught that, run the next play now!".

Couldn't agree more.  John Lynch is an "all in" guy...  the move would make a lot of sense.

That's a fumble.
