Rainmakers: Marco Scutaro showed Luis Arraez what was possible for a kid from small-town Venezuela
Arraez grew up watching Scutaro, who believes in his fellow countryman: "The Giants will love him and he'll stay here for a while."
When Luis Arraez was growing up on the outskirts of San Felipe, Venezuela, only one other MLB player had come from his area: Marco Scutaro. As another undervalued contact hitter who had to fight for a pro contract, Scutaro showed Arraez what was possible. Their story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

The Eagles must've despised each other to levels rarely seen in pro sports and been dysfunctional as hell to lose to this shell of a 49ers team.

I'm still at a loss. Everyone I know was like, "Welp, that's the season," after Kittle tore his Achilles.

When Brady essentially says it was a weak call on a QB hit, you know it's bad.

The 49ers committed one "penalty" (a very dubious personal foul for unnecessary roughness) the entire game. That's incredible.

The 2025 Philadelphia Eagles' video highlight package should be a loop of A.J. Brown arguing with Nick Sirianni.

Honestly the Jets should sign Jauan Jennings as a QB. It's not like anything else they've tried has worked.

Oh 100%. Kyle will still run him into the ground if he can, but he took a beating this year.

Agreed, I was thinking more about that last play. Tough to make that kind of adjustment when your lower back is toast.

Also we might be seeing the effects tonight of Christian McCaffrey having a career-high in touches during his age-29 season. Had the back injury last week.

Despite the 49ers getting fully outplayed in most areas, they still somehow could've won this (or at least been in position to) if Yetur Gross-Matos had recovered that fumble. Seattle took advantage of the tipped pass + CMC bobble, though.

Never a good sign when you're averaging more yards per carry than yards per attempt unless you're having a rushing game for the ages.

Sounds crazy but Pearsall's absence (after practicing this week) might be as detrimental as Trent's. Seattle can focus everything on Kittle and McCaffrey, and these third downs look like a nightmare for Purdy.

The schedule has helped, but the fact that they came into this game 12-4 with their current level of defensive talent (plus no Aiyuk and no Pearsall half the time) is a miracle.

Feels like we kind of knew this was a possibility when they gave up 8.1 ypc to Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears three weeks ago.
