I hope that Dan Quinn & Mike McCarthy were taking notes tonight

Getting SF defensive players? Hate to be the killjoy, but we don’t have anywhere near the horses they have on D, particularly at LB.
We need to draft LB early in ‘24 and CB and S as well. DT too. Pretty much needs to be an all D draft.

We like our guys....gotta keep our power dry to sign our 2026 draftees.

What is the blueprint for beating SF on the road in the playoffs? :huh:
Disciplined gap football with excellent tackling. Purdy is not the second coming of Dan Fouts. He relies on the team to get YAC.

Stop the run, and tackle. Put him under pressure and we have a chance to win the game.

It can be deduced that the 49ers, when healthy, are the best TEAM in football. If you want to beat the best you have to play a perfect game.

I think the SuperBowl will actually be played in the NFC Conference championship. The SuperBowl odds will heavily favour the NFC representative.

I would stack up the 49ers, Eagles and Cowboys against KC, Baltimore, Jags and Dolphins any day.

They need to run the ball better but THAT is the blueprint for beating Philadelphia
Niners do not have big power bruisers like some fans are really ranting and raving for here.

Their RBs have long been based off speed and splash, since Shanahan took over.
They combined those splash - slash RBs with a " misdirection" slanting, stretch lane scheme.
It can be made to mislead tacklers into committing and false step into one move & direction,
while the run flow is going another way.

Mac run scheme attack does not seem to emphasis such misdirection and stretch lane run scheme.
It seems to play a simple bland power run zone scheme that's meant to methodically grind.

Crazy they put up 42 on both Cowboys and Eagles, where we scored 10, they scored 19. They are the favorite for sure
Plus this is the very same team with two different starting QBs that have sent us home in back to back playoffs.

When it comes down to it - do we match us vs Niners ?
