Former NFL and college football coach and current ESPN analyst Herm Edwards joined the Deuce and Mo Show Monday to talk about the 49ers’ devastating loss to the Eagles Sunday in the NFC Championship game.

Topics discussed include:

  • How Sunday’s loss was a weird way to end the season.
  • If the NFL needs to adjust its rules concerning a third quarterback on the roster
  • What do you even tell your team after a loss like that on Sunday?
  • What could the 49ers have done differently?
  • How much did the officiating impact the outcome between the 49ers and the Eagles?
  • Have the 49ers seen enough of Brock Purdy to name him a starter next season?
  • “I know this, Purdy has won the locker room. There’s no doubt, he has won those players in the locker room. And this is the key, what does coach [Kyle] Shanahan want? Does he want a quarterback to play on script or does he want one to play off script?”
  • What jumped out the most about Patrick Mahomes’ play against the Bengals?
  • The way the 49ers are constructed to be better because they lost in the NFC Championship game
