And then that QB gets injured and has to leave the game.

The Eagles have one of the best records this year, the 49'ers defense failed them after being touted as one of the best.

Defense can only carry a team so far. If that had happened to the Eagles, they’d have lost too, believe it or not.

Had Purdy not been forced out of the game on their first drive, you would have seen a totally different game. Of course, we'll never know.

Not to take away from the Eagles' great season, but they beat a team without an offense today.

That point cannot be debated.

block Haason Reddick. If the o line executes there is no injury. It is the responsibility of the o line to protect the qb. That point also cannot be debated.

However, that doesn't invalidate my point that if Purdy hadn't been injured early on, it would have been a totally different game.
When an offense can't pass the ball with their 4th string qb, the defense can load the box and stop the best of running games.
It was pretty much game over when Purdy exited the game.

If they'd protected him better, Reddick wouldn't have been able to basically sprint to him and hit his arm as he was trying to throw, and he wouldn't have gotten injured. It's not like some freak non-contact injury where someone steps wrong and tears his ACL.

And you can't help but feel great for Reddick.

Just think: this might have been the last game at the Linc in midnight green for Kelce, Brandon Graham, and Fletch.
