@LombardiHimselfEagles 31, 49ers 7.SF's season is over in nightmare fashion an NFC title game during which they lose all of their healthy quarterbacks. The 49ers' 12-game win streak is also over. This was their first loss in over 3 months. They finish the season 15-5

@nwagoner#49ers began the season with QB questions. End it with QB questions. They'd manage to not only survive but thrive regardless of who was at QB all season. Until today. Eagles head to Super Bowl LVII with a convincing 31-7 victory. Niners fall short of Super Bowl again.

@LombardiHimselfToday's disaster does underscore how impressive the healthy stretches from both Brock Purdy and Jimmy Garoppolo were this season. No QB job in the NFL is an easily replaceable position. But the 49ers operated very, very well there until injuries finally finished them
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfThe 49ers overcame so many injuries to go on their 3-month tear, including 2 at the most important position. But there's always a potential breaking point, especially when a team runs out of quarterbacks

@LombardiHimselfBig picture: 49ers offseason got way more muddled today, and it was already a lightning-rod topic.What will Brock Purdy's recovery timeline be? Trey Lance is at the game today, and still in a boot. Jimmy Garoppolo is obviously schedule to be a free agent

@LombardiHimselfAnd hey, it's not breaking news that teams on QB5 who can't throw (that was an injured Brock Purdy) don't win NFC title games. Cause of the 49ers' downfall was obvious today

Profile
@LombardiHimself49ers' only path to victory after moving to Josh Johnson would've been a tug-of-war win fueled by an epic defensive performance.Appeared they had a shot at 7-7, but defensive's mistake-filled effort on Philly's 14-play drive began the unraveling. Then Johnson's fumble...

@LombardiHimself"If you keep pushing the edge, eventually you're going to fall off the edge."The 49ers found that edge today in Philadelphia: It was after their 3rd quarterback

@nwagoner#49ers QB Brock Purdy has attempted one pass (a short dump off to Christian McCaffrey that gained 3 yards) since he came back into the game.
-
Profile
@TracyFGSNThe #49ers literally cannot pass the ball. It is not available to them.
-
Profile
@grantcohnThis has been an exciting year for the 49ers, but all four quarterbacks got injured. That's the main takeaway from this season. The 49ers won't win another Super Bowl until they start keeping their quarterbacks healthy.
-
Profile
@TracyFGSNThe #49ers have had 10 penalties today. The Eagles have had 3. Not ideal.

@CamInman#49ers Josh Johnson officially ruled out with a concussion as Brock Purdy soldiers on in this run-oriented, short-throw comeback. Eagles lead 28-7 entering 4th quarter

@nwagonerOfficial announcement of what we already knew: #49ers QB Josh Johnson it OUT with a concussion.

Profile
@LombardiHimself49ers' pass rush is significantly weaker than it was at its peak in 2019. This defense and team as a whole has carried a much bigger reliance on complementary ball as a result. All the QB injuries of this season certainly threatened that but didn't hit a critical mass until today
-
Profile
@nwagoner#49ers, in desperate need of any sort of spark, have Deebo Samuel back to return this kick.

Profile
@jenniferleechanSF 7PHI 28This unfortunately for #49ers feels over. @MaioccoNBCS and I spoke all week about the team who makes the least amount of mistakes and stays healthy would win the game, and here we are.
-
Profile
@grantcohnThe 49ers let this game get away from them when Kyle Shanahan failed to challenge an obvious drop on 4th and 3 in the red zone and then asked Tyler Kroft to block Hassan Reddick on the following series. That's all it took.

@LombardiHimselfThe 49ers face a 3-TD deficit with 15:43 to play and no available QBs capable of throwing

@CamInman49ers surrender their fourth touchdown run of the NFC Championship Game, and they're down 28-7 with 15:43 left in their season
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfThe 49ers came completely unraveled on this drive. First, the soft coverage. Then, they wasted good adjustments with roughing the punter. Then, they failed to bring Jalen Hurts down. Then, the Hufanga personal foul. Finally, a Philadelphia TD
-
Profile
@jenniferleechanEIGHT penalties for 53 yards...and counting for #49ers Eagles have 3 for 29 yards
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfThere seems to be little reason for the 49ers to be soft in any coverage at this point. The defense very likely needs to score, and undercutting a route can help with that. Given the circumstances, who cares if you're burned deep? The surest way to a loss is soft coverage

@grantcohnThe 49ers are beating themselves by 14 points.

@jenniferleechan#49ers defense - it's your turn.

@LombardiHimselfIf Brock Purdy in this state oversees even a comeback push for the 49ers, well, that would be peak drama exceeding even the craziest rollercoaster moments that this franchise has seen over the past few years

@MaioccoNBCSThe #49ers defense forces a three-and-out, and who the hell knows who's going to line up at quarterback for them on this next possession?

@LombardiHimself14-7 would've looked a lot more manageable for the 49ers right now
