The Eagles have their playoff opponent set, as old foe the San Francisco 49ers will be coming to town. Sheil is joined by Brandon Lee Gowton of Bleeding Green Nation to discuss the matchup, as well as the Eagles’ 24–17 loss to the Commanders with the No. 2 seed in the conference on the line. The big question is whether the Eagles should have played their starters. How realistic is it for the Eagles to make a Super Bowl run? Should we pump the brakes on Tanner McKee? Plus, a quick discussion on the Sixers and Flyers.
