It's been a wild ride for Eagles fans this playoff season. While it's finally stress-free, beating up on the 49ers was really that easy. The Seahawks dominated the Niners 41-6 in Saturday's NFC Divisional Round game. From the opening kickoff to the final ticks of the clock, it was a thorough beatdown.
The 49ers' offense was completely shut down, and they couldn't move or stop anyone from moving on the field. Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, and the rest of their team got destroyed. The Seahawks' defense ran all over them for three touchdowns and 116 yards by Kenneth Walker, while the Niners' defense struggled to contain Seattle's offense.
Beating up on a team like the 49ers is never easy, especially after facing them just last week when they could have ended the Eagles' season. However, it looks like the Eagles got what they deserved - another week of agony and stress as their season comes to an end.
It's hard not to wonder how things would've played out if the Eagles had won that Wild Card game. They were stuck in neutral for most of the game against the Niners, which wouldn't have prolonged their misery in overtime like the Rams did on Sunday night.
There are a lot of questions surrounding A.J. Brown's future with the team. Despite his recent struggles and rumors of drama, he still managed to put up an impressive season, including a deep bomb that showcased his unique blend of speed and strength.
He'll be remembered for his time in Philly as one of the best receivers in franchise history, but it might not have been long enough. The Eagles will have to start evolving their offense without him, which could lead to some interesting decisions about how to rebuild and move forward.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts is also under scrutiny after a disappointing season. He's got a lot to prove next year, especially when it comes to taking risks and leading the team with confidence. Some fans think he's not the guy, but that's an extreme view. The Eagles can continue to win with him as their quarterback.
Ultimately, Hurts will have the benefit of the doubt that he can rebound from this season's struggles. He's shown it before, and when there is a creative playcaller in charge, he thrives. The Eagles can continue to be one of the toughest teams to beat if they stick with Hurts as their QB.
