49ers Fans Will Know Our Wrath This Weekend

The Chase continues. As 49ers week ramps up, it’s worth remembering that Sunday isn’t just Eagles vs. 49ers—it’s a full-blown fanbase showdown. Having crossed paths with NFL fans all over the country, there’s no group that revels in crying, excuse-making, and unhinged cope quite like San Francisco’s faithful, a reputation they earned during—and long after—the 2023 NFC Championship meltdown.

They went quiet once reality set in, crawled back into their hole, and now they’re resurfacing with the same cringe posts and all-caps rage that make them endlessly fascinating content fuel. From years-long whining to all-time unfiltered comment-section insanity, this is who they are—and this is exactly the energy the Eagles are set to send packing on Sunday.

Let’s get into it.

🌊 THE CURRENTS

1. EAGLES FAN GOES VIRAL. A viral tailgate video shows an Eagles fan bragging about a Nick Foles jersey he claims is stained with Cowboys fans’ blood, which—while absurdly on-brand Philly content—is not cool, not representative, and absolutely not something anyone should be proud of. Rivalries are supposed to be loud and fun, not violent, so let’s relax, wash the jersey, and keep football Sundays from turning into parking-lot fight clubs. All things Eagles here.
   

2. EAGLES GET FAVORABLE REFS FOR SUNDAY. The Eagles draw a familiar—and favorable—officiating crew for Sunday’s Wild Card matchup, with Alan Eck set to referee a game Philly is 8–1 under, including the 2023 NFC Championship, while the 49ers sit at 3–6. It doesn’t guarantee anything, but with a PA-born ref who calls holding and isn’t afraid to throw flags, the Eagles won’t be walking into January already bracing for ref ball. »Read More Here
   

3. PHILLIES LAND DON MATTINGLY. The Phillies officially added Don Mattingly as bench coach, giving Rob Thomson one of the most experienced baseball minds in the game as the organization pushes all its chips in during a closing championship window. It’s not a flashy move, but Mattingly’s managerial pedigree, clubhouse credibility, and familiarity with Thomson make it a clear upgrade aimed at helping Philly get over the final hump.

4. WHAT’S TRENDING. Ja’Marr Chase sounded completely tone deaf after complaining that refs paused the Bengals–Browns game to honor Myles Garrett breaking a historic sack record, even joking that play should stop for his 10th catch too. It was a bad look from a star who hasn’t etched his name into the record books yet, and a reminder that some moments in football are bigger than individual stat lines.
