Shanahan poo'd the bed in this game

Setting himself up to use the "We had no QB" excuse

They can't use the "4th string QB" excuse because it's bullshit. They knew who their number 2 was for today and were ok with it. When your #2 QB is on his 19th roster in like 8 years, you fuged up.

Purdy getting hurt made this one of the worst playoff games in recent memory. Just a complete throwaway. Congrats Eagles on, well whatever the hell this was.

Worth mentioning that he got hurt in large part because they were letting Reddick go full Von Miller in SB50 and refused to help out on him.

He got to the NFC Championship game with his 3rd string QB - literally Mr Irrelevant from the previous year's Draft.

It's not an excuse, it's a fact. 

There are literally better QBs sitting at home today. They gave themselves no safety net.

Are the 49ers just going to run the clock out?

Isn't this where Shanahan's coaching genius is supposed to take over? He literally got CMC and basically started running the Panthers offense of the last 3 years with the option to occasionally throw to an actual TE. He needs to ditch the flat brim hat too

Honestly they should kneel every drive.

When asked about it at the end of the game, Shanahan should just say "I didn't see the point in trying to win with my RB playing QB when the refs were giving the Eagles every call".

Yeah, expecting a TE to block Reddick is dumb.

That's not how the peanut punch works lol

Gotten a viable backup in the last 50 days.

Terrible game. The next one should be much better though. At least we get a slightly earlier 2nd rounder.

SF might want to cut this Greenlaw guy right now. I think that is now five 15 yard penalties he is responsible for

MVPs for the Eagles are...

Shanahan for not calling a challenge or timeout on that 4th and 3 pass.

Josh Johnson for blanking on how to play QB with his fumble and freeze when trying to recover his own fumble in the pocket.

Officials for unloading flags on the 49ers defense and coming up with phantom calls on completed passes and running into the kicker.

Brock Purdy's ulnar nerve for taking taking the game off.

Eagles throw McCaffrey to the ground after the whistle - no call.

49ers try to punch the ball out for a turnover - personal foul.

You can't literally throw punches at someone
