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

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?

Gotten a viable backup in the last 50 days.

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

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.

MY GAWD THATS CAM NEWTONS MUSIC.

Watch Purdy come in and they pull this out. They have no one left.

There was that game, MNF?, where he threw one to a TE I think. So probly.

If Purdy doesn't turn into the bionic man at halftime this is going to be a blowout by the 4th.

Eagles offense right now is basically "fug it, refs down there somewhere"

Purdy getting hurt in the championship game is following the "Tom Brady 2001" script a little too close for my liking.

CMC is by far the best player in a NFC championship game. Good for him.

The math here was simple. Beat the Bucs, be the coach. He didn't, so he isn't. I will always respect the hell out of him and be grateful that we played meaningful games in a season that Rhule tried to destroy. But the opportunity was there to take this team to its next level. Instead we punted on 4th and short from midfield and lost to the ghost of Tom Brady throwing "F it, run straight and fast" balls to Mike Evans.

Did he not like having a coach that will call his ass out? Was he not used to it? Arians isn't a great coach either but he's damn sure better than what they have now.

If the Cowboys don't step on their necks soon, Brady going to stop short hopping balls and win in the 4th. I hate the Cowboys but just want Brady to lose by 60 and not have a chance to win in the 4th again.

Not beating this shitty Bucs team gets more depressing by the hour.

Capers, Fox, Rivera. Capers had the most successful first season for any expansion team ever to that point. Never made it to the Super Bowl but the run in year 2 was one of the best we ever had. Fox got us to within minutes of beating the most decorated QB of all time and pulled us up from the cellar pretty damn fast. Rivera had the single best season of any coach but also squandered the most talent. Third best, but also one who underachieved in many ways.

I think the Chargers lost today and became Super Bowl favorites for the AFC next year at the same time. Coaching wise, Staley is Rhule adjacent. Both absolutely horrible at their job, but Staley had a ton to work with and only got this far. He cost them the playoffs last year. Got his 1a/1b receiver hurt in a meaningless game and then blew a 27 point lead in the playoffs this year. He makes about 6 or 7 inexcusable mistakes every game and gets bailed out half the time because his QB is that good. Even this game, the big things will be called out. But challenging the catch after Lawrence's hand was banged up was a terrible decision. First, it was a clear catch. Second, it gave the Jags more time to check out Trevor's hand without having to use a timeout.

Never gambled in my life. Sure wishing I had on this one.

Not being a fan of either team has made this game an absolute joy to watch. I'd be crying in a corner if this was the Panthers playing.

If they lose this game, its a franchise changer. It would feel horrible today, but getting rid of Staley will be best for them.

Come on...please let this happen lol

want a FG to win it

I would call it a 100% certainty. Only way he isn't fired is if they go on to win and then win the Super Bowl. Staley just sucks as a coach.
