So SF is so frustrated and is starting to dish out cheap shots. So let’s keep exposing our star QB to that. Nice job Philly.

That’s a tougher call than it seemed. By the time Hurts makes the decision to go OOB, Hufanga has already made the decision to keep Hurts from cutting upfield to score.

Ballgame. Sucks that it went down like this. Just a terrible break for SF.

Getting your QB with a hurt shoulder into action on every play while playing against a team without a QB up 14 is certainly a choice.

They are trying to win a championship. I mean, I get what you are saying but the 49ers are not going to quit and he is the Eagles best player.

Now that it is 3 TDs we will see if they keep doing it,

He was a full step out of bounds before contact. I’m generally sympathetic to the defender on close calls that don’t involve a hit to the head or neck, but that was just a loss of discipline.

I don’t hate Philly like some of you, but what a gift win for them. Credit for solving the Niners D on a couple drives but this hasn’t been a fair fight.

Yeah he extended his arms to shove Hurts after he was a step out. That was an easy call to make.

Why is Kevin Bacon’s kid wearing an airplane tarmac employee uniform? Don’t get me wrong, it is honest and important work and I respect that. But dad has had a good career. Maybe she has principles and doesn’t want his money.

I don't think I could eat that Taco Bell food if you paid me to eat it. Oh to have the digestive system of a kid.

It's weird. The Eagles aren't really dominating like the score suggests. I don't see how they beat either the Bengals or Chiefs (please, please let it be the Bengals).

Perhaps I shouldn’t have said tough call but more tough play for Hufanga. I’m not saying Hurts wasn’t well OOB by the time Hufanga made contact rather that Hurts had just deked a linebacker and gotten to the edge. Hufanga was coming at him full speed and when he committed to stopping him it wasn’t yet clear Hurts was going to give up instead of turn it upfield.

I just don’t think that’s as clear of a “loss of discipline” at full speed.

They won’t be facing the #1 rated defense in the SB.

Why even have a QB in the game at this point? He can't throw, it's just an extra guy the offense doesn't have.

I just turned on the second half, am I to understand that the Niners are opting for a QB that cant pass down three scores?

I know Johnson is a 4th stringer, but... what's the point?

I'm honestly still not convinced the Eagles are truly this good. They certainly haven't had to prove it this month at all - this run to the SB is so tomato can soft it would have made the peak Pats blush.

Josh Johnson is hurt. What do you suggest for a roster with no QB that can throw down 21?

Johnson is out with a concussion. Their only option is Purdy handoffs or CMC / their fullback emergency QBs with probably no real playbook.

Their schedule was easy. Their first playoff game was against a woeful Giants team. And now they have beaten a team without a QB.

A tomato can is Valaryan steel compared to this gauntlet they had to go throug.

Does it matter either way? I think everyone is looking for this clock to hit zero. You can't plan for not having a QB.
