NFL 2025

Dancing Brock no where to be seen this week. He might as well have painted a target on his back. He isnt talented enough to be doing things like that.

Alternative opinion to your and FOJP's posts: the 49ers have been performing miracles all season given the team was already relying on rookies in multiple positions even before suffering a ridiculous amount of injuries.

Losing the best tackle in football and our No.1 WR in Pearsall before the Seattle game made the task almost impossible. Those injuries meant Kittle had to block more, leaving McCaffrey as the only real option for quick passes (our other receivers lack separation skills on quick routes). Seattle were well aware of that and had 2 defenders on McCaffrey constantly. Add that to our inability to stop the run (we were down to practice squad linebackers early in the game) and we had no chance. Even then if the ball doesn't bounce off of McCaffrey's hands, we're only down 3 in the second half and anything could have happened.

Brock Purdy is a top-tier quarterback. Take away the amount of players he was missing from the offence and no quarterback would shine, especially against a talented defence like Seattle's. If Purdy had been picked in the first round like Maye, he'd be getting the kind of over-the-top praise Maye has been getting all season. Too many people formed negative opinions of him early because of his draft status and they hate having to eat their words as he excels.

Given our injuries, a first round exit in Philadelphia is the likely result. Nothing's guaranteed though.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see all three NFC games result in road wins.

After watching the game v the 49'ers I think the only team that can prevent a Seahwaks superbowl is the Rams. They (and a Darnold meltdown) are my only fears.

I disagree. You won 6 games with Mac Jones. who is a donkey You take Drake Maye out of the Pats you get 0 wins.Thats why maye should be MVP( he wont be) Theres a reason Purdy wasnt picked in the 1st round. Purdy is a good QB. Maye is great QB.

We went 5-3 under Jones (who removed from Mayo's awful Pats team is far from a donkey and is Shanahan's latest reclamation project QB. It went very well for Sam Darnold) and the team had less injuries at that point. Purdy has gone 7-2 this season and two of those wins came against the 1 and 2 seeds in the NFC.

How Maye does in the playoffs will be interesting and will either strengthen or weaken his status. The only playoff game that Purdy has lost when he's played the whole game was the Superbowl. The reason Purdy wasn't picked in the first round is because the draft is a crapshoot. Redraft that group now and he's a lock to be picked first.

Final argument in his favour. He has the highest Quarterback Rating in NFL history - 104.8. Maye's is 103.1 so far. Interestingly he's just had a season almost identical to Purdy's second season. If Maye gets to the Superbowl like Purdy did then he's at least as good as Purdy. If he wins it, I may have to concede defeat!

Maye is a special player. I watched the greaest ever to play the game for almost 20 years. Whisper it, but we may have struck the lottery again. I dont see "special" when I watch any other QB save Allen. HE is the best QB in the league.
