Amazatron Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Eagles beat the crap out of a massively overachieving Giants team. All the casuals and the media will pick them as winners, but the Vegas line being set at -2.5 tells you all you need to know. It's a pick-em and will be a brutal battle between the two most physical teams in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 If you look at some of the ELO models, Eagles are 2.5 point favourites (which is same as Vegas)-- which gives them a 60% chance of winning -- i.e. it is 50% more likely the Eagles will win than the 49ers. Same method had them as 9-point favourites (~80% win rate) vs. the Giants. 2.5 points is not a "pick'em" scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably closer to 1.5 on average in 2023. Anyways, the game is in Philly, and a 60% chance of winning isn't a pick'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they can trade for Purdy since Lance will be the 49ers starter next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Purdy were to win a super bowl (spoiler, they won't) then they would have to deem him the starter. But as of today, not a chance in hell.

That game manager was statistically the best QB in the league since he took over.... Hes also basically free for the next 3 years, saving millions to fill any holes or re-sign talent in other positions, lol. Rumor is he already has the job for next year, so again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdy already has more pocket presence, awareness, and elusiveness to extend plays than Jimmy ever had or will have. Based on play calling, Shanahan trusts him as a passer more than Jimmy and Trey. He will be the starter next year even though they will say it is a "competition". The fact that you suggest they would trade Purdy on one of the most ridiculously friendly rookie QB contracts says you don't really understand anything.

thewhyteboar Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Lance is absolutely gone next year. He will be traded for a mid-rounder of something. A cheap QB is the most valuable asset in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckFly Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 10 minutes ago, sblfilms said: “we got throttled from the jump!” is not the flex you think it is It is in comparison to the Falcons and part of the point of the response of what Biggie was bringing up and what I had previously brought up in our back and forth. I'm sorry if you missed some of it and some football down in Houston, SB, but that was the goings on between Biggie and me. All good, though. The better team won on Sunday. Better offense, defense and coaching. However, at 14-4 I am far from wringing my hands over my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really nuts thing is that Jimmy G was playing the best ball of his career before he got injured again, and Purdy still outshined him. Brock Purdy game manager...

Only reason i don't think they keep lance is that he seems to kinda be toxic, he wasn't happy when they re-signed Jimmy G, and just recently seemed to be hoping hes traded to the Titans.

Brian Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Niners willing to let legal process play out with Charles Omenihu WWW.ESPN.COM Kyle Shanahan said the Niners have decided to let the legal process play out with Charles Omenihu, who was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence earlier this week... 49ers wouldn’t kick the dude off the team even if there was a Ray Rice video showing the beat down. Lance got no value. You can’t recoup what you paid to get him. You could trade Purdy for multiple 1sts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect a high scoring game next week. This aged well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
