Eagles' Playoff Watch Is Stress-Free, But the 49ers Beating Wasn't a Cakewalk.
The NFC Divisional Round game between the Seahawks and 49ers was nothing short of brutal, with Seattle dominating San Francisco 41-6. The Seahawks' victory was thorough, from the opening kickoff return to Rashid Shaheed's 95-yard touchdown catch, to the final ticks of the clock, when it became clear that the 49ers were outmatched.
The 49ers' offense, led by Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, and others, was completely shut down. The team could muster only two second-quarter field goals against a Seattle defense that ran over them for three touchdowns and 116 yards on Kenneth Walker's legs alone. This was not a game the Eagles had trouble with, as they did last week when beating the 49ers.
The 49ers' performance was inexcusable, with their inability to move the ball or stop anyone in a Seattle uniform from doing so. They looked like they didn't belong near the playoff field and were thoroughly outcoached and outplayed.
This shouldn't be seen as an excuse for the Eagles, who had their own issues during the season. The team's offense was uninspired, with Kevin Patullo at the helm before his firing. Nick Sirianni also took a hit on the job loss, marking the second time an established OC left after a successful season.
The main culprit in the Eagles' downfall is Jalen Hurts. While he had moments of brilliance throughout the season, including two Super Bowl appearances and winning Super Bowl MVP honors, he struggled at times. His inability to run plays from under center or utilize motion and read defenses has been questioned by fans and pundits alike.
However, it's unfair to label Hurts as a bad quarterback. Despite having a tough year, he has the ability to lead the Eagles to victory. The team can continue to win with him at the helm, provided they find the right OC to complement his skills.
The door is still open for A.J. Brown, who was traded by the Titans four years ago and quickly became a key player in the Eagles' offense. While he's been known to be frustrated with the offense throughout the season, there's still hope that he'll return to form next year.
Ultimately, the Eagles' offseason will bring many questions, including whether the team will re-sign Hurts or find someone better suited for the role of quarterback. One thing is certain: it won't be easy, and the team will have to navigate a challenging rebuild.

IT WAS LIKE THEY JUST DOMINATED THE 49ERS FROM START TO FINISH!!! 
BROCK PURDY AND CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY WERE LIKE "WHAT ARE WE DOING OUT THERE?" 
AND KENNETH WALKER WAS LIKE A FORCE OF NATURE, RUNNING OVER THOSE GUYS FOR THOSE THREE TOUCHDOWNS!!!! 
HE JUST NEEDS TO FIND THAT RIGHT OC TO WORK WITH AND I KNOW THEY CAN DO IT!!! 
AND AS FOR AJ BROWN, I THINK HE JUST NEEDED A BREAK FROM THE OFFENSE, GIVE HIM SOME TIME NEXT YEAR AND HE'LL BE BACK TO FORM IN NO TIME!!! 
The 49ers got smashed, plain and simple 
. What can we learn from this? That sometimes you gotta swallow your pride and face the music, you know? They had their chance and blew it 
. It's like when you're working on a project and you think you've got it all figured out, but then something goes wrong and you realize you need to start over from scratch 
.
. Don't count anyone out just yet! It's like when you're struggling with a skill or hobby and someone tells you you'll never get the hang of it - that's just discouragement 
.
.
. Jalen Hurts had some tough moments but he's still got it in him, i think he just needs the right playcaller to bring out his skills. aj brown could be the missing piece to their offense, fingers crossed he finds his groove again 
. the seahawks played a dominating game, can't take away from that, but let's not put too much pressure on the eagles just yet 
.
The 49ers got thoroughly smashed by the Seahawks. It's not an excuse for the Eagles, they had their own issues too 
. A.J. Brown might still turn it around next year 
. Time to find a new rhythm and rebuild 
seattle's defense was on point and i gotta give them props for that 
but on the flip side jalen hurts has had some major issues with calling plays from center 
he can't seem to get the offense firing on all cylinders and that's a problem
