Thank You.
Lol. These peeps talking like the Niners were lucky to win are cracking me up. The Eagles were lucky to even be in the game.
Yeah they were, people pulling fire alarms I was surprised that they didn't slash the team buses tires also, fear was running deep.
ALL of their points came on returns. ALL OF THEM. Through 3 quarters the Eagles had about 100 yards of offense. They ended with 213. By comparison, the 49ers RUSHED for 218. Niners had more rushing yards than the Eagled had TOTAL yards. The Eagle offense was on he 49ers side of the field ONCE. Shady had 17 yards rushing.
Also I imagine that your Turf was still a factor, the Eagles didn't know what shoes to wear, probably could not get any footing in that sandbox
The 49ers won TOP 42 and Change to 17 and change.
Time of possession can be misleading when you get turnovers and short fields, real stat is the score
Niners did all of this to a 3-0 team while down Aldon Smith, Navorro Bowman, Tramaine Brock, Glenn Dorsey, and lost Vernon Davis, Anthony Davis, and for a time during the game Joe Staley.
Hey look, Eagles had injured players also.

If not for a pick 6 and two special teams miscues, this game would have been seen as a total A$$kicking. These returns were some sloppy special teams and a mistake on a trick coverage by Kap.
As Seattle fans we are used to seeing this scenario, you would think that the 49ers would change the script up from time to time but I guess they lack imagination.
If you guys are looking at this game like "wow, totally lucky win", you need to take off the blue sunglasses. It wasn't as pretty as it should have been, but the game shouldn't have even been close.
We are used to Ugly 49ers here, the Shock Value has worn off due to multiple exposures![]()
Fun to spin things the other way sometimes
