The Philadelphia Eagles rolled past the San Francisco 49ers 38-24 on Sunday. The Eagles now move to 2-1 and are in first place in the NFC East. The 49ers gave it a good run, but are now 1-2. One critical play was when Gore, for San Francisco, fumbled around the goal line and it was run back 98 yards for an Eagles score. That one play resulted in a 14 point swing. Coincidentally, the 49ers lost by 14.

Let me start off by saying that I’m not one of the NFL analysts that’s very impressed with Arizona. Yes, they won, but let’s look at who they played against. They were at home against the 49ers—not the best of teams. They beat the 49ers by 7 and if not for some lucky breaks who knows. The Cardinals first real test will come next week when they travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. I expect that they will be brought back to reality.

It’s come down to a final threat for the 49ers. The city either needs to build a new stadium now or they are leaving. The target city for is Santa Clara. Larry MacNeil, team president, and Santa Clara officials have met to discuss plans for a brand new stadium for the 49ers.
