Smuts' NFL Thread

Shame, that. He was having such a brilliant season. Was he injured before the game?

Not that I heard - the fumble was caused by an Eagle hit on his arm, so I think it must have happened on that play.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Looked a jarring hit to the arm, I think he'll hobble back second half. Eagles heavy odds on favourites from here.

What a terrible series of events for the niners. 

 

Defense has ensured there is still a game on here but really grim in offence

McAffery gives the offense some hope

[StanSP]

Eagles TD and then fumble by 49ers QB

They just had the ball for what felt like all night and we've just given it straight back

 

 

This is shit

[ajthefox]

Big fumble that.

49ers held up well early doors despite the issues but another turnover now going for 7 is gonna make this really difficult.

[bovril]

Gronk a significantly better TE than analyst

[Golden Fox]

And now Johnson out! What a way to end the year.

[Golden Fox]

This year, the Niners are 0-4 when they lose the turnover battle, and 15-0 when they win or tie. Already 2 behind... I think its fair to say we need a couple of turnovers at this point...

 

Or perhaps the best passer in the league this year!

So have 49ers now lost their star running back? Not because he's injured, but because he has to play QB! 

[ajthefox]

Surely game over now for the 49ers.

It's been done for a while

 

Never seen anything like it

[lildave3]

What an absolute waste of time 

[Lako42]

That was absolutely wank 

[Craig]

Although I want the Bengals to win, hopefully Mahomes is close to fully fit and this can be more of a game than that.

[StanSP]

That didn't look good for Sneed

[spacemunky]

At least the AFC Championship is a good one, so far.

[spacemunky]

Mahomes

Was he even that good in that game…? One run at the end where he got a dumb flag afterwards, for me Burrow played better. 
 

Still picking Eagles for the SuperBowl.

Given his injury, I felt he gave it his all. Other than the one big blunder, he made the plays when they were needed.

 

I would also pick the Eagles in the SB, if I was betting. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

The Eagles/49ers game was unwatchable almost from the moment Purdy got hurt.

 

Still can't believe Shanahan didn't challenge Smith's 4th down 'catch' early in the contest. You could tell by Smith's reaction that he knew he hadn't caught it. A real sliding doors moment in the game.

[purpleronnie]

Still kinda pissed about the team I follow being knocked out in such a way especially with debatable referring decisions all going against us.

 

Hope the eagles thrash em.

Bengals have shown for 2 straight years now that they are a cracking team. Burrow and Chase will only get better. The future is bright

As a Niners fan I'm still trying to process Saturday night
