Oh they are.

But don't take my word for it. Eagles are the first team since 1970 who are 10-1, at home and start as underdogs. And prety much every non-homer site had a vast majority of predictors choose the 49ers.

No, they're not. You said the same thing earlier, then they lost 3 straight. Betting odds for one game, don't mean squat and they certainly don't point out to who is the better team overall.

Tell me, what were the betting odds in the 3 games that the Niners lost?

We'll see in the playoffs.

i just can't see how our defense gets exposed the same way every week and we can't make any adjustments

Hard to adjust for a lack of talent....esp at linebacker.

They had key players missing. I believe I already mentioned that?

They have scored 5 successive TDs, at home, over long drives and are in the middle of giving a 10-1 team a brutal beating and you think the teams are close?

Eagles had a good stretch of football and give them credit, they found ways to win while not playing their best. The NFL is an ebb and flow league and the ebb is hitting them not just this week but next week as well.

They'll have a few weeks before the playoffs start to get going again. Most likely as a 2 or 3 seed.

The Eagles are still very much the front runner for the #1 seed.

Missing Dallas Goedert is massive and cant be understated in a game like this......but with that said, this D cant be fixed this season

After watching Dallas the past monthish and watching what SF is doing to this D, do you really expect them to be able scheme against their glaring weaknesses in a week, Plus Dallas will have those 3 extra days rest, like the 49ers had

Looking through your fantasy glasses again. Your ability to properly assess an NHL player remains atrocious. So here are some facts for you.

Couturier has 5 goals and 11 assists for 16 points in 22 games. I'd like to see his goal scoring increase but solid numbers. Puts him on pace for 18 goals 41 assists for 59 points.

Now his underlying numbers

CF% 56.79% GF% 55.88% xGF% 59.59% SCF% 57.44% HDSCF% 63.03


Not only are these numbers good, they're beyond good. They're elite!

This is all for a player that missed almost two seasons of hockey due to injury and coming off of major surgery. What does this factual information really tell us? That you don't have a fricken clue at what you're looking at!

- MJL

can you explain to the board what these represent. Thanks.

Why not? You actually have to play the games. Look at the losses the Niners have had. The Eagles lost to the Jets. Anything can happen.

Hey looks a little different playing a healthy 49er team. Lol. You clowns all celebrating last year over a team that had no qb. I’m a flyer fan , the eagles were my 2nd favourite until last year.

Yes, the NFL is a week to week league but this D has been exposed. Dallas moved the ball on them the 1st match up, bur a split second cost them one TD and Dallas imploded with the game on the line....I dont see that happening again....these two teams offenses are really bad match ups for this weak D
