They did a long deep dive on this, but Billy to you as someone who's not necessarily ingrained in one of these teams, what is the most interesting thing you have for this game?
I believe that you can if the main characters are the same, which they kind of are here.
Nick Sirianni, Jalen Hurts on one side, Kyle Shanahan, and Brock Purdy on the other side.
And I think the reason why that's a revenge game, Billy, is because if you remember that game, the Eagles, Hasan Reddick hits Brock Purdy in that game, suffers the elbow injury, and gets knocked out of the game.
And so 49ers fans to this day, I think if you talk to them, they'll say,
If we had Brock Purdy available for that game, we're beating the Eagles and we're playing in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs.
You talked about the big what-if moment for the Panthers and Rams earlier.
That's got 49ers fans looking at that one.
Then Eagles fans fire back.
Your coach had a tight end blocking one of the leading sack getters in the NFL on that play.
Have him come up with a better protection scheme.
It was a clean hit just because your quarterback got injured.
That's not our fault.
You weren't beating us anyway in that game.
