Yes, like the Cowboys always wear white.

They wore white against Philly cause we were the road team that year.

The "home" team gets to choose what uniform color to wear and what facilities they want to use.

I think the uproar last year was all the rain made it hard for the Niners to practice, they whined that they should get to use the Stadium facilities since it's indoors. They were such mental midgets lol.

Forty Whiners. They've earned the nickname over the last 6 seasons.

They deprived him of one of the most hallowed records in the entire NFL when they sat him for the final game and didn't give him a shot at the single-season running record.

If someone rips his ****ing leg OFF in this game, he'll be out there hopping on one foot to try to pick up yards.

Barkley is going to be absolutely supercharged in this game. May not be enough, but he's gonna give us everything he has in the tank.

Just like CMC last year.

This is why I would come out on 1st and 2nd down in single high putting Leo and Hicks on the edges, McDuffie on Devonta and Watson on AJ Brown with a safety to help him.

I think Spags is gonna do anything he can to force the Eagles to pass. He’s going to force Hurts to use his arm. And it will be the smart move.

Make Hurts beat you with anyone but Saquon using Hurts arm

Can you play single high and still neutralize Goedert?

With Watson back, I feel okay about matching up with the Eagles WRs (though Smith vs. McDuffie is a little spooky because Smith's deep speed is so good and that's one area where McDuffie isn't truly elite).

But it feels like single high man coverage is gonna leave us pretty exposed to Goedert. And we're not going to put Hicks out there over Cook. We probably should, but we won't. Unless you're talking about a heavy nickel package with Hicks out there as a 3rd safety, in which case you could use him on Goedert and Reid in run support. I might actually keep Cook in the Single High spot there given that he IS faster than Reid and single high responsibility is actually simple.

He seems to get lost mid-zone trying to play alongside another safety where he loses guys as they come across zones. In single high, maybe he'd be okay.

We did a nice job of slowing that 49ers run game for sure. But CMC STILL managed 160 yards of total offense and a score.

And he left it on the field.

Barkley's gonna be a handful and he's gonna come at us all day.

That’s true. Maybe jam the **** out of him at the LOS?

Eagles are gonna try to use ball control on use running and I think forcing them to pass is smart bc an incompletion stops the clock.

There’s certainly ways to disguise single high tho. Gonna need a lot of discipline vs the Eagles bc they are way harder to stop than SF due to Hurts mobility.

Of course they were.

Yup. They weren’t pulling for Buffalo for any other reason than they would rather face the Bills than the Chiefs.

These days Brock Purdy is more mobile than Jalen Hurts with that knee injury.

That guy was having a really hard time getting away from rushers.

I think we could see someone like Karlaftis or Danna go nuts this game.

Taking turnovers out of the equation and I don’t want to scroll through over 500 posts, as it might’ve been covered already. Going toe to toe in this SB,

Philly wins because:
KC wins because:

KC wins because they were good enough to beat Philly with Watson, K. Toney, and JuJu.

We now have Hollywood, D (HOF'er) Hop, and Worthy as well Watson and JuJu returning. It's TK's last super bowl in all likelihood. Hunt's Double Wide and driven ass is back. Our Defense is no longer full of rookies and inexperience.

We will **** this team up...
