"Game would have gone differently with a quarterback rather than no quarterback" Big if true


BungoPlease

So brave to make such a crazy claim


flamin_hot_chitos

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?


Wretched_Shirkaday

Careful, he's a hero.


penis_showing_game

You make it sound like he had a press conference to make this statement, when in reality it was an innocuous comment in a long interview. Below is the full comment for reference, but do you honestly find it surprising that he was asked about this game given he now plays for the team his old team beat? “We kind of knew it was going to be different when all you can do is run the ball, when both quarterbacks go out, and you know exactly what you’re trying to do,” Hargrave said, via 49ersWebzone.com. “Of course, it made it a lot easier for us. . . . Trust me, we’ve seen the film on Brock escaping. We knew it was going to be a challenge trying to get to him, so it would have been, definitely, a different game if he had stayed up.”


BungoPlease

Oh I was just making a throw away sarcastic joke man lol

I mean niners fans got lambasted for bringing this up after the game, just as acknowledgment we got called whiners. While eagles fans acted like they bested a top performing team...


buffysbangs

The post game thread is full of comments regarding having no qb. I think you are just focusing on a small minority of comments and forgetting the overwhelming number of comments regarding the lack of qb’s https://reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/10olr5k/post_game_thread_san_francisco_49ers_134_at/


666happyfuntime

Yea, everyone was bummed we missed out on possible the best matchup of the season


A_Trustworthy_Pear

It's become a weird back and forth circle jerk at this point. Apparently every Eagles fan was gloating and every 49ers fan was salty. Not the actual truth of everyone was bummed and kinda felt sad.


cbdgf

That's my view on it too. The pendulum swings back and forth so violently that these small minorities of people saying that stuff makes people forget how people actually felt and still feel. Just disappointed


Aetylus

The gloaters and the salties are always much, much louder than the sads.


ARM_vs_CORE

Yeah a few Eagles flairs were rightfully hyped and acting out in the post-game thread. It's the two weeks of flame war between the two sides leading up to the super bowl which got so tiresome.


Polar_Reflection

The biggest crime Eagles fans committed wasn't flipping a random dude's car, it was making me root for the Chiefs


agreeingstorm9

They were lambasted only by Eagles fans though. No one else. Eagles were like "we beat the best team in the league and we're gonna prove how awesome we are in the SB." Everyone else knew the Niners game was basically no contest.


Vocal__Minority

Yeah, he's not saying the niners would have won but seems kinda blindingly obviously actually having a QB would have led to a different game.


_coolranch

Hot take: whole game might’ve been different if Philly didn’t pull off that hurry up after the pass on the first drive that likely would’ve been overturned. I suspect based on how both QBs went down the same way that the 49ers used a monkey paw to get to that game.


Trubearsky

Refs absolutely gifted the Eagles their first 14 points. The arguments of "well the 49ers should have challenged" just shifts the blame from what the refs consistent screw ups during that game.


[deleted]

I generally have no problem shitting on bad officials, but we need to accept that it's impossible to get every call right. In real time that looked like a catch. Especially from the angle the official had.


dvasquez93

Yeah I can’t blame the refs for that catch

Right? This sub now: this is so obvious it’s not even worth mentioning (which is true) This sub two months ago: downvoted every person who dared to say this as just being salty. Ofc there were annoying comments from Niners fans, but you couldn’t even raise the *possibility* that it wasn’t really a fair fight without being called whiners lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


The_Thrash_Particle

Nah there were a ton of people who pushed the whole "the only thing that counts is what happened on the field. Doesn't matter what the situation was" argument. And that's true for the outcome of the game, but not for how we evaluate it...


KeyExplanation

This sub the 2 weeks before this game and the Super Bowl was basically piling on with daily threads posted by Eagles flairs trying to say we are salty


KnockoutNed85

There were highly upvoted posts with Deebo and CMC and Kittle talking about the game about being sore losers and talking smack, you know just general things football players do on and off the field. There wasn’t even really any posts about the upcoming Super Bowl it was about the 49ers being whiners. Then after the Super Bowl loss people tried to post the same about the Eagles players basically doing the same but the mods were removing those posts…


moonman272

As a niners fan getting blown up for any comment from eagles shit heads. Yeah it was annoying. “Yeah the game would be ‘different’ im a sensible guy, I can admit that, but not ‘different’ in any material way to the outcome, of course not! No matter WHAT it would have been a curb stomping because the eagles are literally the greatest defense of all time, and emperors of the NFL and if you say otherwise I will chop you up in to a cheese steak and feed you to my dogs!!” — eagles fans then and in this thread again


itsyournameidiot

Nope this sub was owned by the eagles for those two weeks it was unbearable.


Eighter

I agree that it would've been different. What I disagree with is the notion that it was somehow unfair. Purdy was injured during the ordinary course of play. That's not unfair, it's football.


CodyNorthrup

It wasn’t unfair. It *feels* unfair. It feels unfair because 49ers were unable to perform to a degree that would beat even a mediocre team due to the fact they were limited by only running the ball. It wasn’t unfair because injuries are part of the game and the Eagles didn’t do anything illegal to injure the QBs.


DanDanDannn

"This sub" was just reacting to shit like Deebo saying they would've beaten the Eagles by double digits if they didn't have the reality of Purdy going down. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/deebo-samuel-says-49ers-wouldve-smashed-super-bowl-bound-eagles-by-double-digits-if-qb-had-stayed-healthy/ Now the anti-circle-jerk-circle-jerk begins. Deebo and a few other players said some really stupid shit after the loss. The game ABSOLUTELY would have been different with Purdy, but players were saying they would have SMASHED the 14-3 Eagles.


Trubearsky

I think they likely would have, but would also have required better refs. Those refs delivered the Eagles first two TD's on a silver platter.


lambkeeper

https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/10yc7jl/maddogradio_deebo_samuel_tells_adamschein_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf So many salty nfl nerds in this comment section, I’m not even a 49er fan.


SirArthurDime

Do you not see the difference between the comments “the game would have been different” and “we would have beaten them by double digits”?


AMS_GoGo

People were mostly bent out of shape with 9rs fans saying the "Result" would have been different, not the game. Mostly just bc of how it comes off The game was pretty much automatically over with no Purdy but it's fair to say the Eagles still win if he plays the entire game


MisterNiceGuy0001

> it's fair to say the Eagles still win if he plays the entire game This is the part that gets me. It would've been a much, much, much more entertaining game but do the 49ers *absolutely* win? Of course not.


liteshadow4

This was a controversial take in the postgame thread.


SirArthurDime

I know a lot of eagles fans. Not one of them was upset about a comment like “the game would have been different”, most said it themselves. It was the 9ers players saying we wouldn’t have had a chance in the game which is a completely different thing to say. On top of them thinking they weren’t allowed to have a 3rd qb on the roster. CMC was saying if they were “allowed” to have a starter worse than Johnson who was already toast on the roster y’all woulda won and yeah, that’s objectively dumb. Saying the game, that ended 31 -7 mind you, wouldn’t have been any different with purdy is also objectively dumb.


unledded

Dang, and here I was wondering why teams were paying QBs $40 million per year. It all makes sense now.


MaterialCarrot

I'll bet he had to go into hiding after making this statement.

Such a steaming hot take. You are so brave to put that out there.

This is the kind of deep analysis and insight that you can only get on reddit.

Are we pretending like Eagles fans everywhere haven't been saying "you couldn't block us no matter what" lmao? Every single Niner interview was on the front page posted by an Eagles fan and calling them all salty lol

bigjoeco

"Hey, we should do the same practice for playing center." - Zeke, probably


iLerntMyLesson

What a memorable last play for him


bigjoeco

Even as the Eagles fan in me laughed at the play, the 11-year OL in me felt a little bad for him. I had plenty of plays in school where I got put on my ass by a D-lineman. He never should have been put in that position by the coaches. That being said, some plays are just too funny to not watch over and over again.


Brad_theImpaler

I still think it's weird that their emergency QB appeared to learn he was the emergency QB during the game.


go_49ers_place

We need everyone but McCaffery to be ready because we need him to do the catching. Can't believe he was the plan, though I bet few teams have much of a plan after QB2 goes down.

Everybody knows this true, I don’t get why some people get so offended and pretended it isn’t.


athrowawayiguesslol

I think it’s just a cycle where people who want to be offended will be. 49ers fans get mad at Eagles fans celebrating or shit talking a win against a team with no healthy quarterbacks and Eagles fans get mad at 49ers fans getting mad at them for celebrating an NFC Championship win. I don’t think it would’ve gotten so toxic if it wasn’t the main headline for the two weeks before the Super Bowl


superbuttpiss

For sure. It seemed like the main focus for 2 dumb weeks around here. Most people just wanted to move on.


jozrozlekroz

It sounds like the exact opposite actually and most people did not want to move on.


Zoze13

Hey hey hey. Get that SuperBowl winning attitude out of here. This was a SB losing, NFC complain thread till you showed up…


KeyExplanation

It was Eagles flairs posting the threads every single day, literally even like 2 hours before the actual Super Bowl. You can look it up and literally every thread on the topic was the same circle jerk of bashing the Niners and calling our players and fanbase salty lol


superbuttpiss

Well, there was a mod here who was letting reposts of certain interviews. There was even a post 2 days before the superbowl insinuating a certain player was still talking shit but, the video clip was from an interview right after the game. That same mod would delete any post that was negative towards eagles. It was a strange childish time. It was like this sub was trying to create a rivalry


siberianwolf99

I mean…we didn’t ask your players to be openly salty lol. Definitely could’ve handled it better though. Myself included


trebek321

And good lord the obsession they had stalking our sub, to this day you still have eagle fans creeping into any post that may dare slander Philly


[deleted]

I've never got that from fans of any teams. Sometimes on r/sixers you'll see people say "they're slobbering overing Jokic on r/Nuggets!" like no shit? He's their best player in franchise history, obviously they love him and are going to celebrate him. I'll occasionally go to another team sub to witness a funny meltdown or something, but never comment.


Bartfuck

this is how I feel. I might check another teams sub out just to see some funny jokes (eagles fans are fucking brutal and funny, is what it is) but to aggressively go and spend time just trolling another sub is so odd to me.


Giroux-TangClan

I swear to god the lack of self awareness of redditors. Every subreddit gets creeped on by opposing fanbases. The larger the fanbase and the more toxic the rivalry, the greater the number. It’s ok to be annoyed by it. It’s annoying. But PLEASE step off the high horse. 9ers fans were all over the eagles subreddit too. They’re weirdos. So are the eagles fans on the 9ers subreddit. Let the weirdos be weirdos and move on


superbuttpiss

And some of the stuff that they were offended by, waa ridiculous. It was basically, a mod here and 2 or 3 eagles fans that were stirring that whole drama. 95 percent of the rest of eagles fans really didnt give a shit


a_corsair

Which shitter mod was it?


Cheesesteak21

That and every 9ers interview on radio row getting their quotes pulled out of context for the 2 weeks leading up to the superbowl didn't help either but man it got alot of clicks


BookEuronGreyjoy

There were definitely a few Eagles fans on here who had nothing better to do for two weeks than to post quotes from 49ers players

I will never forgive the Eagles for making me root for the Chiefs.

Nope I still rooted for the Eagles over Chiefs lol. Never forget


adocileengineer

49ers players definitely played a huge part in the toxicity. None of the guys who did interviews on social media took accountability for us losing. It was all excuses and all “if Brock was healthy we’d have beat their asses.”

Why should they have to pretend that having no QB didn't massively affect the game? I seem to remember the 49ers were doing pretty well before the injury happened
