3 quick takeaways from 49ers upset over Eagles: Coaching matters
The San Francisco 49ers pulled off the improbable, beating the Philadelphia Eagles on the road 23-19 despite being six-point underdogs and losing star tight end George Kittle early in the game. It was a game filled with mistakes on both sides, but the 49ers managed to keep it to a three-point game at the half […]
Kyle Shanahan confirms George Kittle has a torn Achilles; shuts the door on Fred Warner’s return
The San Francisco 49ers targeted George Kittle on a six-yard pass with just over six minutes remaining in the second quarter. After Kittle was tackled, he immediately grabbed the back of his right ankle. It was a non-contact injury, which is genuinely the worst-case scenario. Unsurprisingly, Kittle is not expected to return to the game. […]
49ers upset the Eagles in a thrilling victory to advance to the Divisional round
The San Francisco 49ers have struggled to find explosive plays this season. Brock Purdy found Demarcus Robinson, who beat Quinyon Mitchell of all people, for a 61-yard catch and run. Two plays later, Purdy lofted a pass into the hands of Christian McCaffrey for an 11-yard gain. The drive ended how it began, with a […]
49ers playoff discussion: Brock Purdy battles Jalen Hurts and the Eagles
We’re finally here. The San Francisco 49ers first postseason game comes against the reigning Super Bowl champions. Now that it’s the playoffs, the assumption is that Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and the Philadelphia Eagles will revert back to who they were last January, despite what they’ve shown during the 2025 regular season. Hurts and company […]
Trent Williams is in, Ricky Pearsall is out; Lane Johnson is inactive for the Eagles
As expected, San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams is officially active for today’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a good sign for Williams when the Niners didn’t elevate an offensive lineman on Saturday from the practice squad. Here’s a look at the inactive list: WR Ricky Pearsall (knee)LB Dee Winters (ankle)LB Luke […]
Jaguars-Bills Wild Card discussion: Can Josh Allen outscore Trevor Lawrence?
The early game on Sunday in the Wild Card round features the Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the Buffalo Bills. The narrative is that this is the year Josh Allen needs to win the Super Bowl because he won’t have to face the trio of Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or Lamar Jackson in the postseason. That narrative […]
49ers LT Trent Williams is expected to play today, per multiple reports
We won’t know about the San Francisco 49ers’ official inactive list until 90 minutes before kickoff. However, FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer said that Williams is cleared to play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed Glazer’s report, saying Williams is expected to play. Williams is officially questionable after missing Week 18 and […]
A rematch with the Seahawks will happen if the 49ers beat the Eagles
The San Francisco 49ers are facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday with a chance to advance in the playoffs, but they’ll have to do so on the road at Lincoln Financial Field. Saturday’s playoff slate saw two thrilling games, with the Los Angeles Rams edging past the Carolina Panthers 34-31 with a game-winning […]
3 keys to a 49ers win over the Eagles: Christian McCaffrey 30-touch game incoming?
It’s finally gameday. The San Francisco 49ers are taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in the wildcard round of the playoffs, with kickoff slated for 1:30 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field. The 49ers are coming off a loss to the Seattle Seahawks, missing out on their chance for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and […]
Golden Nuggets: GAME DAY
Jay Glazer shares encouraging update on 49ers LB Fred Warner“Anybody else, I’d say ‘absolutely not,’ but Fred Warner has blown past all his rehab markers,” Glazer said. “I’m actually told, if they get to the NFC Championship Game, they’re holding out hope — they think there could be a chance — that Fred Warner could […]
49ers playoff discussion: Jordan Love’s Packers and Caleb Williams’ part III in the Wild Card round
The Green Bay Packers were the team everybody thought would win the Super Bowl to begin the season after a couple of games with Micah Parsons. That feels like an eternity ago. The Packers have since lost Parsons. They even lost their quarterback, Jordan Love, in their last game against the Chicago Bears. Love lost […]
49ers elevate a pair of special teams options from the practice squad
The San Francisco 49ers announced a pair of practice squad moves, while downgrading wide receiver Jacob Cowing’s game status from questionable to out. Wide receiver Malik Turner was elevated from the practice squad. Turner played 17 offensive snaps this season. The majority of those came when Jauan Jennings was inactive. Turner played a total of […]
49ers playoff discussion: Can the Panthers upset the Rams for the second time?
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young makes his playoff debut. Historically, quarterbacks making their first postseason start have struggled. Even the elite quarterbacks like Joe Burrow. That also includes Super Bowl-winning ones, like Jalen Hurts, who trailed 31-0 after three quarters in his first start. Young has seen his opponent, which may help his cause. When […]
49ers rooting guide for Saturday’s playoff games
The San Francisco 49ers are roughly 28 hours away from their playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. On Saturday, there are a pair of NFC games in the Wild Card round. Let’s walk through how the Divisional Round would look based on Saturday’s results if the Niners can pull off the upset this weekend. The […]
Robert Saleh gets his fifth interview request
The Arizona Cardinals requested an interview with San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh earlier in the week. We’re going to go out on a limb and say that Saleh won’t take the chance in his second head coaching stint in the NFC West, where three of the best coaches in the NFL reside. Not […]
49ers Brock Purdy and Eagles Jalen Hurts could see something similiar on Sunday
Sunday’s Wild Card game between the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles will be a fistfight. The 49ers offense is looking to bounce back after its showing against Seattle, and the Eagles will look to shake their regular-season offensive woes. Vic Fangio and Robert Saleh aren’t working with the same talent level on defense, but […]
5 Questions with Bleeding Green Nation: Will Fangio get the better of Shanahan?
The 49ers are clear underdogs for their wild-card matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, despite a hugely impressive 12-win season. San Francisco has not played a playoff game against Philadelphia since the 2022 season, when an injury to Brock Purdy ended their hopes in the NFC Championship Game. Much has changed since that defeat, and the […]
A trio of 49ers made the AP All-Pro team; Eddy Pineiro snubbed
The Associated Press announced the first and second-team All-Pro, and a pair of San Francisco 49ers made the list. Christian McCaffrey made it as the All-Purpose player, with Bijan Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons getting the nod at running back. Unsurprisingly, Kyle Juszczyk gets the fullback spot. That rounds out the list of Niners on […]
The Golden Fool’s Mailbag: Should the 49ers trade for Caleb Downs? Are fans’ expectations too high? What about the black unis?
I actually saw someone asking about where the mailbag was on the feed. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t pass up such a critical moment to give my (useless) answers to your (incredible) questions. For those of you who wonder, I usually post a question thread in the feed on Sunday/Monday. Hit me with your questions there. […]
Golden Nuggets: Go Panthers
Kyle Shanahan shares final updates ahead of 49ers-Eagles Wild Card matchup“On Wednesday you were less optimistic about Jacob Cowing playing, but after watching the last few days, any change of mind there? “No.” Does Ricky fall into the boat of a player who didn’t practice this week who could have a chance to go on Sunday? “Yes. […]
49ers add a starter to the injury report; Ricky Pearsall is officially questionable
The San Francisco 49ers’ final injury report is out. For the second straight day, Trent Williams practiced. For the third consecutive day, Ricky Pearsall did not. Nobody has been ruled out. The following players are questionable LB Dee Winters (ankle) Edge rusher Keion White (grion) LT Trent Williams (hamstring) WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) LB Luke […]
Wild Card preview: Who has the advantage between the 49ers and Eagles?
Going head-to-head with positions doesn’t make much sense, since Brock Purdy isn’t going to be on the field at the same time as Jalen Hurts. Could you imagine how Purdy would look with A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith? It would be all hypothetical. So we’ll preview the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles based on […]
A 49ers win over the Eagles has to come through Christian McCaffrey
The San Francisco 49ers are on the road to begin the playoffs, facing the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The 49ers had a disappointing end to the regular season, squandering an opportunity to win the NFC West and get the conference’s No. 1 seed with a 13-3 loss […]
49ers playoff history: Can Kyle Shanahan remain undefeated in the Wild Card round?
The San Francisco 49ers are 6-2 all-time in the Wild Card round. That’s impressive. Kyle Shanahan’s teams have been so good when they’ve made the playoffs that they’ve avoided the first round of the playoffs altogether. In two Wild Card appearances with Shanahan as the head coach, the 49ers won both games. Let’s revisit those […]
49ers playoffs: How San Francisco’s depth chart looks going into the postseason
