Josh Johnson is out resulting from harm
49ers 7-21 Eagles, 11:49, third quarter
I can not consider it, however Josh Johnson is out now after hitting his head on the turf.
McCaffrey ran for 4 yards on the following play as Purdy returned to the sport. Mercifully it isn’t sufficient for a primary down and the 49ers do not have to determine what they are going to do to the QB as a result of they’re simply punting.
On 1st and 15, Johnson threw to Caffrey who solely picked up one yard. On 2nd and 14, Johnson’s lengthy throw to Samuel is almost blocked. After which it obtained worse for the Niners…
The start of the second half!
49ers 7-21 Eagles, 14:17, third quarter
The 49ers begin at their very own 25. McCaffrey was pushed again three yards. On 2nd and 13, Johnson threw incomplete. The Eagles virtually have a fast cease, however Johnson finds Kettle for a 22 yard achieve! They’re identical to that on their very own 44.
E-mail from Reg Gorczynski:
Watching in snowy Toronto… With Purdy injured, this recreation turns into a non-contest…[Niners] The protection is nice however no staff can grasp on in an essential recreation like this with half the staff…and Johnson is a 4th string journeyman QB for a purpose!
I feel Philadelphia wins this one, however the 49ers can nonetheless a minimum of put a scare into them within the second half. A minimum of I hope so, I’ve much more dangerous puns that I would like to reveal to the biggest viewers attainable and our readership is at its highest when the video games are aggressive.
E-mail from David Good:
SF is working exhausting to keep away from any sort of competitors. I feel they play higher after halftime, which is the one purpose I nonetheless see. The Eagles did not must do way more than excel (although Reddick had loads). How do you suppose they stack up in opposition to the Bengals/Chiefs?
A wholesome Mahomes would in all probability give the Chiefs a raise, however I am unsure they’re going to even make it to the Tremendous Bowl. I just like the Eagles over the Bengals, however I are inclined to underestimate Cincinnati (as their followers will let you know).
However, once more, this recreation is not over but, even when it feels prefer it.
E-mail from Neil Mullen:
Given the QB state of affairs, I’m wondering what Colin Kapernick is doing?
By no means extra related when quarterback conditions across the league.
E-mail from Ben Dunn:
This recreation reads higher than it seems to be. Who will come down JJ? Does the CMC throw and hand itself over for the remainder of the sport?
Actually, what might be Dibo Samuel? It will be attention-grabbing however I do not suppose Niners followers need “attention-grabbing” proper now.
So far as I hear you play this recreation, in some unspecified time in the future late on the seventeenth or 18th I yelled “Oh come on” on the TV display. There isn’t any continuity.
Halftime ideas
Properly it was purported to be a way more entertaining recreation, wasn’t it? Brock Purdy’s harm and a collection of more and more backbreaking penalties put the Niners in an enormous gap and so they want an enormous comeback right here.
The excellent news? We have seen extra inconceivable throughout these playoffs.
Finish of first half: 49ers 7-21 Eagles
McCloud took San Francisco’s opening kickoff 41 yards. The 49ers might have sufficient time on the clock to do one thing right here. Johnson fired McCaffrey. 2nd and 10, however solely 5 seconds to go. Samuel will get the primary title on the following drive, but it surely does not matter as a result of time is formally up.
Landing (Eagles) 49ers 7-21 Eagles; 00:16, 2nd quarter
Boston Scott will get a uncommon landing that does not hit the New York Giants on the following play! It seems to be prefer it might be the game-changing drive of the afternoon.
The Eagles go for the two-point conversion however are referred to as for having too many gamers on the sector. As a substitute, they go for an extra-point try, which succeeds.
49ers 7-14 Eagles, :21, 2nd quarter
So, as an alternative of having the ability to reply, the 49ers needed to depend on their protection to forestall the Eagles from extending their lead earlier than halftime. Hurts threw to Goedart for a five-yard achieve and did it once more on the following play.
The Eagles get to the SF 20 after which there’s one other bizarre penalty on the 49ers, half the space to the sector aim. So they are going to be in a 1st and aim state of affairs.
49ers 7-14 Eagles, 1:11, 2nd quarter
On the 49ers first play, Johnson discovered Samuels for an 11-yard achieve. It is good. On the following play, nonetheless, the ball got here unfastened and the Eagles’ Hasson Reddick Restlessness returns for Philadelphia. Absolute nightmare for San Francisco. Eagles have possession on the SF 30.
49ers 7-14 Eagles, 1:36, 2nd quarter
Nice blocking by Jason Kelce on that landing drive. Elliott’s kick goes into the tip zone for a touchback. The 49ers have time to reply right here or a minimum of they do not in the event that they’re backside of the quarterback standings.

Sanders picked up 5 yards on the following down. On the following, he picked up 13 yards, sufficient to get him to proper finish, virtually untouched. The additional level is nice and the Eagles regain the lead!

Sanders solely picked up one yard on 1st and 10. On the 2nd and ninth, Harts throws incomplete however my god there may be one other horrible penalty. It is again to the 49ers, who’ve been their very own worst enemy. It is a five-yard penalty that makes it 1st and 10 on the San Francisco 18.

Jimmy Traore has a Champions League medal. Stephane Guivarc received the World Cup. Paul Collingwood has an MBE for scoring 10 runs within the Ashes collection. Are we seeing the equal of Josh Johnson?

49ers 7-7 Eagles, 2:00, 2nd quarter

Hearts’ subsequent go fell incomplete and it was a three-and-out compelled by the Niners’ protection that stored them within the recreation.
