Do they run that unstoppable play? Would be way ballsy

 

[Rowdy]

Smashed

 

[Podunkparte]

yes... Just me... I think he bruised his elbow when his elbow hit the helmet pretty hard... But definitely could've strained his arm as well with it being hit by Riddick...

You play through a bruise. He probably tweaked the nerve running through his elbow.

Johnson isn't the 4th string QB... He was signed on Dec 4th... He's the backup QB.. He's the 4th QB they've used but not the 4th string...

 

[Pure Steel]

Really? Who?

Eaglesnut…..he also likes Le’Veon Bell & Antonio Brown so there’s that….

Siranni is playing to win. Got to respect that. instead of being safe.

 

[BritishDolfan]

It amazes me to see NFL defensive players who try to tackle an RB by bumping into him.

Stand by a point I've made a few times that if they got some Rugby coaches in then it might help.

Great coverage by Ward...

 

[molsaniceman]

nice break up

It's not even ballsy. It's the smart play. 4th and 1 should always be a go for it.

If the Niners finna way to get to the Super Bowl with their 4th string QB, we should all be forced to buy a Niners hat …

 

[Dude]

You must be kidding

 

[Schmoopy1000]

question on that play? Isnt there a rule of being so close to the line contact is allowed? (or something)

 

[DJ Fieri]

If the Niners are able to win this one sans Purdy, You gotta think Lance’s chances of getting the starting gig back will get a big boost.

I think it will be an open competition and Purdy wins it.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Too many flags

 

[UK Cowboy]

Refs doing all they can for the Eagles

Always? As in no matter what?

 

[jarntt]

Boogs, I will murder you in your sleep WITH the 9ers hat you bought. It's best you don't know how that will happen...

They don't teach that in the NFL either.. in fact it's considered terrible tackling technique at any level. RBs tend to have pretty good balance which is one of the reasons they're RBs, so they'll usually just bounce off and keep on going.
