The Eagles are poised to feast on what could be an overmatched San Francisco 49ers offense, thanks in large part to the Niners' suspect interior defensive line. The Eagles have a plethora of pass rushers at their disposal, including Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Moro Ojomo, Jaelan Phillips, and Brandon Graham, who all pose a significant threat to the 49ers' tackles.
The Eagles need to be disciplined in rushing the passer with discipline, as Brock Purdy tends to extend plays on the run and make big plays after scrambling out of the pocket. The Niners only allowed 27 sacks this season, despite Purdy's proclivity for holding onto the ball, but their interior line looks suspect.
On offense, Christian McCaffrey is a workhorse back who led the league in touches and yards from scrimmage. However, his effectiveness as a runner has been called into question, with just an average of 3.86 yards per carry this season. The Niners also rely heavily on their tight end, George Kittle, to make plays after catching passes.
The Eagles will need to be careful not to let McCaffrey and Kittle exploit them in the middle of the field, as Purdy tends to look downfield and make big throws to his receivers. But for now, it seems like the Eagles are well-equipped to shut down the 49ers' run game and make life difficult for Purdy.
The Niners' special teams unit has been vastly improved this season, thanks in part to the addition of Skyy Moore in a trade with the Chiefs. Moore has provided big returns in the punt phase, while kicker Eddy Piñeiro is a reliable presence up front.

. Their interior line is basically just asking to get torched by Philly's pass rushers 
. Purdy might be all like "I'ma make this play" and extend plays, but the Eagles have too many speed rushers for him to handle 
. And on offense, McCaffrey's not doing it for me, his yards per carry is straight up mediocre 
. Kittle's a beast though, Purdy loves makin' big throws downfield and gettin' his tight end involved 
. But overall, Eagles got this game in the bag 
their o-line is looking shaky and that's a huge problem against the eagles' pass rush 
bro i feel like purdy might get some good looks downfield but also like he'll make some mistakes too 
special teams though seems like a major game-changer for sf...
I gotta say, the 49ers' D-line is looking pretty shaky, especially against pass rushers like the Eagles have. They're gonna try to get to Brock Purdy and make him scramble for his life 
. The Eagles also need to be careful not to let McCaffrey and Kittle take over in the middle of the field - if Purdy can find those guys, it's gonna be a long day 
.
! Their pass rush is too strong and I don't see Brock Purdy being able to escape that many times. The 49ers' interior line looks like they're holding together with duct tape and hopes . Christian McCaffrey's gotta step up his game if he wants to be the workhorse back everyone says he is, but I'm not buying it... I think the Eagles will shut him down. George Kittle's a beast though, so they'll need to keep an eye on him too 
. McCaffrey's effectiveness as a runner is questionable, so they gotta stop him in the open field 
! We'll see if the Eagles can keep up with that 
The 49ers are lookin like they're gonna get smashed by the Eagles 
. And don't even get me started on George Kittle, he's great at catchin passes but if the Eagles can shut down the middle of the field, Purdy's gonna be in trouble 
. They're all about the pass rush and if they can keep it disciplined, Purdy's gonna be in trouble 
.
. And have you seen Brock Purdy's scrambling skills? That's like our politicians dodging real issues and hiding behind PR spin 
... gotta keep them honest! The Eagles' pass rush is like a strong anti-corruption movement - they're coming for those Niners tackles, just like we need to hold our leaders accountable 
!
. And on offense, McCaffrey's gotta step up his game or it's like the Eagles are just kicking themselves for having him in their crosshairs
