0:00.0	It was not the ending anyone wanted to see. The 49ers had the worst possible luck at the worst possible time on Sunday in Philadelphia.
0:08.0	Quarterback Brock Purdy, who had become the big story in the NFL over the past two months did not really get a chance
0:14.8	to show what he could do against the top-seated Philadelphia Eagles. His elbow
0:20.2	injury on the 49er second drive forced him out of action and when
0:23.6	backup Josh Johnson sustained a concussion, Purdy returned to action, but could
0:28.0	do little more than hand the ball off. The 49er season is over and the Philadelphia Eagles are moving on to the Super Bowl with a
0:36.2	31 to 7 victory in front of their revved up home crowd an outcome that was never really
0:41.9	in doubt from the moment pretty left with his injury.
0:45.4	Jennifer Lee Chan and I discussed the myriad of things that went wrong for the 49ers on this day,
0:50.3	and Carlos Ramirez brooches the subject of what the 49ers need to do this
0:54.6	off season. 49ers talk begins right now.
0:58.8	Welcome to another edition of 49ers talk on NBC Sports Bay Area.com. Introducing your host, Matt Mayoko.

1:18.4	It was one of those days where absolutely nothing went right for them.
1:24.0	This was a team that came into this game in the NFC Championship game against the Eagles
1:28.0	with I think a pretty small margin of error.
1:30.0	But when you're starting quarterback leaves a game with an elbow injury, hopefully not a significant injury, but they'll find out with an MRI.
1:40.0	And then when you're backup quarterback who now is actually your fourth quarterback, a guy who was signed off the Denver Broncos practice squad in December when he goes out with an injury and then you have to go back to the quarterback who can't throw a football, you know it's not your day.
1:56.4	Yeah, man, it's it was a frustrating game. It was a frustrating end to the season.
2:02.2	But in true honesty, I mean, that was what marked the 49th season from day one. I don't think it's fitting. I just think it's a big coincidence that the season began with a
2:15.2	quarterback injury on game two against Seattle and it ends with not one but two
2:20.2	quarterback injuries in the NFL championship game.
