This fan thinks the Eagles would have won in any circumstance.
The 49ers wouldn't have beaten the Eagles yesterday even with a prime Joe Montana. The score would have been two TDs closer, but Philly still wins by at least 9 points.

An Eagles fan wishes Purdy a speedy recovery.
Wishing him a speedy recovery. He crushed it this year. Even as an Eagles fan… it was sad to see him have to go back on the field in pain. He had an incredible season!

Purdy came back in after his backup Josh Johnson went out due to a concussion. The Niners didn’t have a QB on the bench although Christian McCaffrey could have slotted into the position. And the Eagles capitalized on the situation and the game turned into a blowout.
The Eagles down the Niners
The Niners worked as a machine throughout the season and a well-oiled one at that. They lost both their starting QBs Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo earlier in the season. Brock Purdy, the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft, walked into the team and made the spot his own. He led the franchise to the NFC championship game but that is where his luck ran out. And so did the Niners.
