Bull s h I t. I’ve said it since last season while they were beating soft azz schedule.

You said they would be one of the worst teams in the league and would go from 10-1 to 11-7? Saying they are not a good enough team is different from saying they are this bad.

What happened when they played with qb that can throw? Exactly….

And even with bs first down on incomplete pass and Purdy freak injury beginning of game and assstain Johnson playing sf was right there until almost halftime.

This 31 eagles points wasn’t impressive. Go watch that game again. Hurts did nothing. It’s ok tho.

Ima let you guys believe and live in that moment. It’s best you’ll see in the hurts era. The more you guys buy that the longer they won’t be any worry for 9ers.

Not gonna lie it would’ve been so great to smoke them again this season. Oh well we get em next year too. Easy win.

And no fear of ravens. Can’t wait to win that game when it matters

Everything I stated still stands and Niners fans and players still harping on a game from 12 months ago really is pathetic. They expected to win that game and when they didn’t, they tried to make it look illegitimate. Ya lost, deal with it. The Niners fan base is becoming as obnoxious as Cowboys fans.

i said the season ended in Seattle and crushed the D all season but I didnt see Hurts playing as horrible as he did and the coaching staff being worse
- THE BLACK HAND

It’s very easy to control hurts. Lane discipline when rushing him. Keep him from running outside around edge. He can’t throw consistently. It’s a dump off or throw deep prayer. His middle to deep between the hash is garbage. Sure he makes a throw here and there. Sure he breaks a run here and there. But you play disciplined and tackle well against them and they are easily controlled. Prime example rewatch the safty play.

possible....but go back and watch the 49ers game. Bosa and Young didnt get a sniff on Hurts, he had plenty of time and did nothing. At the time I questioned was it him or the play calling....the scary thing it was both
- THE BLACK HAND


There are certainly big questions on Hurts coming up. But he was not helped by some of the worst playcalling I have ever seen.

Honestly? They are slightly better than .500 9-8 10-6 type team. Giants/washington. 4 wins right there. Then the cowgirls.

That’s not true. I never said eagles win was illegitimate. The problem that arose was players saying they would’ve easily won if Purdy not injured and calling out eagles as frauds.

Then eagles fans saying exactly what you just said… it’s not a matter of illegitimate it’s a matter of no one wanted that game to go like that. 9ers showed this season they were right. Idk if 9 ers blow out eagles last year with Purdy but no doubt they win.

Either way eagles fans dismissing the fact of how the game was played as a shoo off like eagles win no matter what is why 9er fans continue.

It’s all good tho. Like I said I only wish eagles could’ve made it to another beat down

We’ve carried the play the last while. Just couldn’t bury one.
- Hextall271

He was but he also was very careless with the puck, especially in his own end. That behind the back pass into his own slot in the second period was atrocious. But he also made some nice set up passes that should have lead to goals if his line mates could actually finish. One thing I’ll give him, Frost is always the first to congratulate Tippet when he single handedly wins the game of the Flyers.

Thats just the thing though. Right now, they are not a .500 team. They are easily bottom 3-4. And no one saw that was my point.

Against poopty kc defense? I’ll admit hurts did have the game of his life. Did he have a game like that this season? No? Guess it’s the rule then right

Yesterday I was told Hart was as good as Hellebuyck if not better.

As Hart proved once again tonight with yet another road win and great performance.

No they aren’t. You can’t just look at a small period within the season as the rule.

They weren’t as good as 10-1
They aren’t as bad as 1-7.

Sf lost 3 straight. The sky was falling. I was laughing. It’s a long season. Generally you aren’t as good as a hot streak or as bad as a cold streak

With his ability to generate shots and skate, if he can just finish a little bit more consistently, he could be a 35 goal guy.
- MJL

He is on pace to score at least 30 already, but if he had more finish would score 40+, he’s still young, it can still happen for him. Needs more games like tonight where his legs are moving and he is playing confident.

Two great wins without Coots. I’m really enjoying this team. I might have to change my avatar.

Best record in the East since November!

And for the record and you can save this for future.
I want the bills or ravens in sb if sf gets there.

I’d love to destroy bills defense.

And I’d also love revenge on ravens.

I fear neither of those teams. You can save this.

He’s toast. Doesn’t have coots. This team would crumble without coots. So I’ve been told

Even though I was unhappy with the Flyers puck management in this game, this was one of the best games of the year, they really had their legs moving all night. With better finish they could have scored 10 in this game!

That’s really not saying much. Most games are like that.

Tortorella knows how to develop defensemen. There are many other things to criticize but in today’s NHL that is a highly valued ability. If the Flyers can take advantage of that, they have clear path to a cup contender.
- psuhockey


He knows how to teach defenseman how to defend. Teach a team how to defend. Offensively, not so much.

I don't think he should've gotten an assist but he definitely had a part in it. He started the breakout on the play. It helps make up for other assists he has had taken away that he should've gotten
