He was punching the ball.

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.

The 49ers front office for being straight negligent with the backup QB position makes the podium and takes home the bronze on this one. Josh Johnson. That was the best they could do for the backup?

This game kind of sells the point that Christian is a great player but isn't going to will your team to win. That's the job for a quarterback and maybe a pass-rusher. We need to find a quarterback.

The short turnaround for this Eagles team after firing Pederson makes me feel hopeful for our Panthers if we can ever hit on a QB.

Again.  You literally cannot throw punches towards someone even if you are going for the ball.

Im more shocked the Eagles kept Hurts out there for the 4th quarter.

 

Talk about playing with fire.

Not just out there but they ran three straight QB designed runs. Like WTF???

My Eagles fan buddy was texting me about to have a stroke.

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

It's been a pretty bland playoffs so far. Not expecting anything to top the Chiefs/Bills game from last year but at least something worth paying attention to after halftime would be nice

Goddamn, someone should tell Tillman that. He's been famed for an illegal play that's taught around the league - he'll be devastated.

Wasn’t there a prime time game this year where someone punched a player straight up and claimed “peanut punch” going for the ball and it slid and there was no flag? Lol

Mixture of both. Dominant trenches QB and pass rush can get you to the big one. Only folks who are confused or focused on the wrong things are worried about a running back dominating for thirteen seasons or whatever fantasy was going on in this thread earlier.

He would have gotten away with it once. 3 times and after the whistle blew drew the flag.

What the hell was that CMC play

There is a huge difference between that play and what Tillman did and taught others.
