00:03 - Sirianni says, "It's a new year, it's new teams.

00:05 We don't worry about all that."

00:07 He's lying, here he is.

00:08 - I just know that this game's gonna be

00:10 about two good teams, you know,

00:13 coming in here and having a good game.

00:16 I got a lot of respect for the guys over there

00:19 and Coach Shanahan and his coaches.

00:22 Yeah, there's a lot of good players

00:24 on the San Francisco 49ers.

00:27 Some of the best players in the world over there.

00:29 So, you know, this is a different, this is a 2023, right?

00:34 And it's not 2022, you know,

00:38 very similar to what we responded with the Chiefs stuff,

00:42 like going into the Chiefs game, right?

00:44 There's different players on this team,

00:46 there's different players on their team.

00:48 Shoot, one of our better players from last year

00:49 is on their team, right?

00:51 And so, you know, this is about the 2023 Eagles

00:54 versus the 2023 Niners.

00:58 Both teams are doing well.

01:00 It's gonna be a heck of a battle.

01:02 - I think it is gonna be a heck of a battle.

01:04 I'm very interested, Joe, to see this game.

01:06 In fact, it is now ticked up to a flat three

01:10 for the Niners in a lot of places.

01:12 So minus three for San Francisco, road favorites,

01:16 and a bigger total than where you, 47 and a half.

01:19 We got a lot of games in the upper 40s this week, Joe,

01:22 which is very surprising to me, including this one,

01:24 which will be 425 on Sunday in Philadelphia.

01:28 - I thought it was great that Sirianni,

01:31 when he talked about, you know, this is 2023, not 2022.

01:35 But yeah, you're right, Nick,

01:36 because I distinctly remember last year

01:39 making a whole lot of money

01:41 backing the Eagles in the first half.

01:44 I don't know if you recall that.

01:46 Their MO was the same, right?

01:47 They blow teams out early,

01:49 and then they'd slow the game down

01:51 to a crawl in the second half, hold on and win,

01:53 and they were all good to go.

01:54 I mean, they would come out and boat race you.

01:57 That had a lot to do with one, Coach Steichen,

02:00 who is now the head coach of Indy.

02:01 Have you noticed what they do early in the games here?

02:06 This is a team that it feels like

02:08 more than half the games, they're trailing.

02:12 They have to come from behind in the second half,

02:15 which is not exactly a great foolproof plan

02:19 throughout the season.

02:21 Eventually, and I'm shocked it hasn't happened

02:24 more than just against the Jets,

02:25 that's gonna come back and bite you.

02:27 And now you're going up against Shanahan,

02:30 who without a doubt is by far

02:32 one of the best game scripters early in games

02:36 that we have seen.

02:37 He's one of the best in the NFL.

02:39 It's amazing that the 49ers have taken that same persona.

02:42 They're boat racing teams early,

02:45 and then they're kind of coasting in the second half,

02:47 exactly what the Eagles did last year,

02:50 and now the roles are reversed.

02:52 It's not the same Eagles team

02:54 from a year ago offensively.

02:56 And I think that's gonna get amplified in this game.

02:59 I fully anticipate the Eagles having to come back

03:02 by double digits in this game in the third and fourth quarter.
