@mattbarrowsThe theme in the 49ers post-game locker room: Frustration that a supremely talented team, one that had been on a 12-game winning streak and was confident it could topple the top-seeded Eagles, never had a realistic chance to prove it theathletic.com/4137330/2023/0...

@LombardiHimselfThe 49ers were dealt an impossible hand of cards here in Philly today.They were also dealt a seemingly impossible hand of cards earlier this season, and were good enough to overcome that hand until today. This loss should build appreciation for what SF accomplished

@LombardiHimselfReally impressive year from the 49ers. Offseason might be the most interesting yet, and thats saying something.That summarizes it

@LombardiHimselfWe can firmly put the preposterous anyone can play QB well for Shanahan take to rest. Garoppolo and Purdy were top-efficiency QBs because both are good when healthy if quality QB play were easily replaceable, the 49ers wouldnt have met total disaster today

@LombardiHimselfLast press box sign off of the season, but a whole lot more 49ers coverage coming your way. Thanks for following along

@LombardiHimselfEvery single quarterback that the 49ers played in 2022-23 was effectively lost for the season due to injury. And they played 4 QBs.(Purdy still falls into that category because returning just to hand the ball off without a functional arm doesn't count as an actual QB return)

@nwagoner#49ers LB Fred Warner got a bit emotional talking about today likely being DeMeco Ryans' last game with the team: "I owe everything to him. He's the reason I'm the player I am today. He's fully deserving to go on and be a head coach. It hit hard today, for sure."

@nwagoner#49ers finished with 11 penalties on Sunday, their most in a playoff game since Jan. 4, 1987 (tied for second most in a playoff game in team history). Their 6 defensive penalties were their most in a playoff game since at least 2000.

@LombardiHimselfJimmie Ward: "I'm good at safety and I'm good at nickel. I'm a good football player, so it's going to help me in free agency."I asked Ward if he was open to returning to the 49ers and he said "yes", but he also worded other sentences as if he won't be part of team next season

@LombardiHimselfIt wasnt our day was the common refrain in the 49ers locker room and it is hard to argue with that in a game where an NFL team lost all its QBs
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfLot of tears in 49ers locker room. Talanoa Hufanga was especially emotional. Finality of this season hurt SF because of how hard theyd fought to reach this point: 12 straight Ws even with a 3rd-string QB starting 7 of them. But no team is invincible to that amount of bad breaks

@grantcohnThe Eagles arent that great, and Jalen Hurts is overrated. The 49ers could have beaten them if Brock Purdy had stayed healthy. The 49ers should be better next season. They just need to start fast, take care of business and get the No. 1 seed.

@jenniferleechanAfter watching #49ers players leave the field in last year's NFCCG and just now, they are clearly upset after a storybook season. But it appears that they knew without a fully functional quarterback, the odds were very much against them. The emotions are raw, but very different.

@LombardiHimselfBig point of curiosity: How will the 49ers defense reload this offseason? Flummoxing game for them today because they looked poised to be dominant against a really explosive Philly offense until late first half. Then the self-inflicted sounds derailed that. Big task upcoming
