Niners seemed a bit chippy when they came out

Birds with a 26-yard FG on the opening drive.

3-0, Birds, with 9:51 left in the 1st qtr

Bummer to miss the TD on that drive but they moved the ball well.

Birds' D forces a 3 & out by the Niners on their opening drive.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Field position battle equal here

 

[WestSideLion]

Not looking good, gang. Dominant but pissed away two TD chances.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Birds with another good looking drive on their 2nd possession, but have to settle for a 39-yard FG. 6-0, Birds, with 2:01 left in the 1st qtr

It’s hard to beat top teams by settling for FGs. SF must be thrilled to only be down 6-0. This sets up well for them.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

They can’t block our 4

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

field position win

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Birds' D forces another 3 & out for the Niners. Other than the Birds' O not scoring TDs on their 2 possessions, things have gone very well for the Birds so far.

and another 3 and out for the Niners

 

[Tom McAndrew]

so bush-league -- par for the course for the Niners, it seems.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Birds' O goes 3 & out on their 3rd possession. A false start by Hurts when it was 3rd & 6 didn't help

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With a stat like this, you should be up by more than 6-0

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[psu31trap]

Go Eagles

 

[WestSideLion]

and another 3 and out for the Niners

You were saying???

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Niners put together a nice drive on their 3rd possession.

On 3rd & goal from the 4, they have an incompletion in the endzone. Alas, the Birds are called offsides on the play, so the Niners have a 3rd & goal at the 2. And they get a TD on their extra 3rd down attempt. On replay, it does not appear to be a catch, but it's close. Play is being reviewed -- I could see it being ruled either way.

 

[WestSideLion]

There it is. Despite dominating early, SF takes the lead 7-6. The Eagles had their chances to but SF in a hole and didn’t.

 

[Relayer]

I feel like Sweat gets an offsides call every game.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

It's ruled a catch on review, so it's TD, Niners.

With the PAT, it's 7-6, Niners, with 7:10 left in the 2nd qtr.

Well now they’ll have another!!!

 

[WestSideLion]

I feel like Sweat gets an offsides call every game.

He’s aggressive. The situation sucks, but these things happen.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Greg Olson thinks it's great coverage, and I think it's PI on the Niners (not called). smh

 

[WestSideLion]

Greg Olson thinks it's great coverage, and I think it's PI on the Niners. smh

That was def PI.

 

[psu31trap]

That was pass interference. I like the idea of letting them play but you have to call pass interference when the defender has his arms all over the receiver.

 

[Nitt1300]

There it is. Despite dominating early, SF takes the lead 7-6. The Eagles had their chances to but SF in a hole and didn’t.

probably should give up now.

 

[Alphalion75]

Johnson got away with a hold. PI on the Niners. Should have offset.
