Quick Pod - Reaction To 49ers vs Eagles Matchup · Guy Football Focus with Guy Haberman

• 0:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And just in disaster as turn of events for the 49ers needing help, it looked like everything was going their way.
• 0:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Rams, the Cardinals were beating the Rams in the third quarter.
• 0:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was going back and forth, but the Cardinals had a shot and that game became non-competitive at the end.
• 0:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: If the 49ers wanted to go to Carolina, they were going to.
• 0:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think you would have preferred to go to Carolina if the Rams had lost, so they're not going to be the 5th either.
• 0:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're the 6th.
• 0:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 0:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: That aside.
• 0:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Affiliate win in a Chicago loss means Philly's the two seed natters go to Chicago.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think in the end I know I talked about this with Evan more several weeks ago on the show and he had a big breakdown about why Philly's the better matchup The end of the day, I think and I arrived at this conclusion after watching the nighters play the seahawks last night You'd rather play the better offense than the better defense on the road because You can win a shoot out
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: if the other team can't stop you and they got throw and there's more mistakes and the bears played the exact same game again today the bears were losing 16 and nothing in the fourth quarter.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Filly was winning in the fourth quarter, 17 to 10 against Washington and Washington was trying to give that game away several times.
• 1:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ultimately, neither of those things happen.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Filly loses Chicago wins and honors are going to fill it.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Elf, yeah.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I just think the better defense we talked about earlier early Sunday morning when I did a pod, a full pod, that that defense is one of the top scoring defenses in the league.
• 1:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would rather play the great rushing offense, quote unquote, great rushing offense of the bears, then this defense that creates some of the same problems
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: without having to blitz, Vic, you know, which matchup do you like?
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kyle against Dennis Allen or Vic Fangeo against Kyle.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like if you look at it through that lens, I think Kyle versus Dennis Allen is the strongly preferred matchup.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ben Johnson against Sala or the Eagles offense.
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, solid like I just say that because it's like the one guy that'd been trying to fire and then serianny does or doesn't have a say like it's weird offensively just perpetually with the equals.
• 2:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean you'd prefer that match up, but if I had to pick like.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: the jump, Ben Johnson vansio, each is a leader what they do.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would just rather do the thing with Chicago again.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even though you just play them, and I think that's a tough thing to do, be to team twice.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think the weather probably is gonna be worse in Chicago.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not supposed to be terrible and fill it.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now that said, it does set up.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: a Brock Perti redemption game, given everything that happened in Philadelphia the last time.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do you suit up Adrian Martinez if you're that iron or some energy?
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can you, you cannot blame, you cannot, you know, you go to Philly and you get two quarterbacks hurt and you end up with Christian McCaffrey.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have known to blame but yourself this time, but you just, you're so thin from a roster standpoint on your offensive line at receiver on the defense
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now you're still dressing guys that don't play like Jordan walk in Jordan James, two of your draft picks this year, you know, dressing didn't play last weekend, but you probably can't afford it.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, that's the matchup.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Niners go to the Eagles tough, tough defense tough.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: You really doesn't score, but I mean, Philly is
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: very good on defense and you just know like they got two pro bowl receivers they've got a you know a Super Bowl MVP quarterback they got if Lane Johnson plays that makes them very difficult so you know while the quarterback isn't great it's hard to get pressure on them great the Niners are gonna struggle to get pressure on them so now that said I love just the the energy of the matchup is cool I've never been to soldier field so I was
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was rooting for that in the end, but regardless.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, look at some of these Eagles scores.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Throw this one out, 24 to 17.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: But look at these scores for the Eagles recently, since the buy, like before the buy, it's 38 against the Giants, 28 against the Vikings.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: 10, 7 win, it's scored 10.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: 69 win, 24, 21 loss, 24, 15 loss, 22, 19 loss,
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: 31, and I think it's the Raiders by the way, Raiders should.
• 4:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: We did it.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Raiders guy very fired up for the number one seed.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: 29 against Washington, 13 against Washington against Buffalo, 13 to 12.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, what jumps out to you and you look at those scores to me, what jumps out is it's the it's the type of game that I just lost mostly here.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, it's funny to be killing the Niners defense on Saturday night after they give up 13 points to one of the top all fences allegedly by points per game in the league in Seattle.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: All the you can't you can't survive with these linebackers and this that it's like all that stuff's true you give up five plus yards per carry the running backs true true true.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Give up 13 points now partly they missed two vehicles, even if they make two field goals, let's say I told you before the game Jason Myers doesn't miss a field goals Seattle scores 20.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: would that be enough to beat Seattle?
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: You'd go, I coinflip, at least you wouldn't say no.
• 5:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: You might say, you know, 21 doesn't guarantee anything, because 20's, you know, with a good defense, 20's is really good.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you would have thought, like, yeah, 50, 50, at least in the IRS of the score of 21.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, all things can consider that defense.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can you score?
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can you protect its trend-playing?
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: is Ricky Pierce all planned?
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, can you get guys open or is Brock gonna be, is it gonna have to be a replay of this game on a Saturday night?
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, very winnable, you know, the Niners in my mind, no, not in my mind.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Niners have the head coaching advantage in this game.
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: one of them want a Super Bowl, one of them has him, but then I don't have the head coaching advantage in this game.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: But what does that get you?
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because he's got Vic, you know, he's got Vic.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So this is, it is ski matters, a ton coaching matters, a ton, I think watching Skattles defense up close, it's just, and their, you know, Mike McDonald's very good, but the Jimmy's in the Joe is holy smokes.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're like the players just matter so much and Philly's defense is good.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Niners future schedule is set by the way, if you're into that sort of thing, I'm going to be quick on this, but Niners future schedule, most of it was already set, just the third place game is not that I was finished, third place the NFC West, Minnesota is their NFC north opponent.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Miami is their AFC East opponent, so you play two other, you play, you know, the third place team from two other divisions, and then you play a 17th game, which is against your
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: So at Atlanta and then Miami are the two place games in the conference.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So when people say that third place schedule, it's three games, but three is a lot.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: As we saw this year, every game, now, you know, the Bears game was a fourth place game last from my season of the season.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So nothing's guaranteed.
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I was just looking at its quarterbacks.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, when you looked at the Bears last year, you said, okay, once they got Ben Johnson with Caleb, that could be a tough game.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that was pretty clear.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Minnesota.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: At home, we'll see if Brian Flores gets a head coaching job.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would think not, so that's a challenge, but, you know, not a scary quarterback.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Miami, at home, who, you know, Mike McDonald's, McDonald's, that'll be interesting, but not a scary quarterback.
• 7:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then, and then at Atlanta.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, that division is better than going to Tampa, I would say, like the night was having a, they weren't great in Tampa this year, so maybe you prefer that, but there you go.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's the rest of the schedule.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: The rest of it's already decided.
• 8:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: The only thing we don't know yet is we're, uh, when the games will be, but that honors do play the Eagles next year, by the way.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: So there's, there's that.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also, uh, I do have to mention redemption game on Saturday for Sam Darnold.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trae Lane, now Trae Lance and his defense was playing the Broncos today, but there was once a quarterback battle, GFF guy football focus went head to head with those two quarterbacks, said the numbers had samdarmed far superior in the battle for backup quarterback, the 49ers agreed.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Samdarmel just joined Tom Brady back to back 14 win seasons, amazing.
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Trae Lance went 20 to 46 against the Broncos today.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, the Broncos, Broncos are good team.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, that's the update.
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: My guess is the nine is you're going to play on Sunday.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, I'm not going to do another thing when that game gets scheduled.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll probably do something Monday.
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if you're asking me, my preference would be the mid-afternoon game, because if you win, then you're coming.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you play the late game Sunday and you win, now you're coming back really late Monday morning,
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: for perhaps a quick turnaround.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't expect the tires to play Monday.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Could play the late game Saturday?
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is the attractive game, but I'm going to guess that they're going to play the mid Sunday or the late Sunday game.
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, there's the update.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Talk to you all later.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bye.
