“If we run a play, we can’t throw it deep,” he told his coach. But he also immediately knew something was wrong and walked up to Kyle Shanahan. At the time, Purdy thought the resulting play was an incompletion and that the 49ers would have a chance on third down. The scene captured a year that was dominated by quarterback injuries, beginning with Garoppolo’s offseason-long recovery from shoulder surgery and ending - with a thud - with Purdy’s elbow injury, which occurred on the 49ers’ opening series when Eagles defensive end Haason Reddick slammed into the quarterback before he released the ball. A few feet away, Jimmy Garoppolo, still recovering from a broken foot, watched the action in a black warmup suit with a red stocking cap on his head. PHILADELPHIA - One image in the second quarter Sunday told a season-long story: On the 49ers’ sideline was Brock Purdy, his right elbow tucked against his stomach and protected by a black brace, and next to him was Trey Lance, his right foot in a plastic boot. He’s fully deserving to go on and be a head coach. He’s the reason I’m the player I am today. It was the first time it kind of hit me that this was the last one with him. “Obviously, you think you’re going to win it all. “I hadn’t thought about it up to this point,” Warner said.

There seems to be a good chance that Ryans, who’s been on the 49ers’ staff since 2017 - the season before Warner was drafted - won’t be with the team anymore next season.

Those two shared a long embrace.Įarlier, Warner had run into 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans, who’s in the interviewing process to potentially become an NFL head coach. The linebacker finally rose to his feet after a few minutes and moved toward 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga, who was in tears in the middle of the room. Some teammates who passed by Warner’s spot stopped to give him a pat on the back and share words of encouragement. It carried over into the postgame locker room, where linebacker Fred Warner sat nearly motionless at his stall for several minutes. The 49ers’ sadness didn’t end with their 31-7 loss to the Eagles, lowlighted by two more quarterback injuries in a season that saw a parade of them. The new world we live in is this is a product that costs between $5,000 and, you know, maybe it starts off as five on an average demand opponent or matchup, and I think it goes up from there.” “There was a time prior to 2015 when you could buy a ticket for $1,000 the day of the game for some Super Bowls.

of the ticket market,” said Jesse Lawrence, CEO of ticket platform TicketIQ, on the demarcation point the 2015 Super Bowl represented. But go back to the 2008 title game in Arizona and get-in prices were less than $1,000 on game day. Before 2015, the cheapest Super Bowl ticket prices generally were a few thousand dollars (the lone exception was the 2011 contest between the Packers and Steelers, a glamor pairing). The ticket fiasco led to a concerted effort by the NFL to control more tickets and how they are distributed, leading to large price jumps. The terrain for Super Bowl tickets heading into next month’s return to Glendale is entirely different and far pricier than when the NFL descended on the city eight years ago. What fans and the business of football also remember is ticket prices skyrocketed, and brokers who had assumed they would fall couldn’t, in many cases, deliver the tickets and went out of business. It wasn’t just the Patriots’ last-second interception at the goal line to preserve the victory or the Seahawks’ confounding decision not to feed Marshawn Lynch the ball in the fading moments.
