Trent Williams, K’Von Wallace ejected from NFC Championship Game

USA TODAY Sports

The 49ers have slogged through the second half with their dire quarterback situation.

Then things officially went off the rails midway through the fourth quarter.

49ers left tackle Trent Williams and Eagles safety K'Von Wallace were both ejected from the contest after they were involved in a brawl.

Williams was shown tossing down Wallace. But because Wallace was also penalized and disqualified, he also was involved.

San Francisco’s bench started to clear after Williams slammed down Wallace. The players who came on the field could be fined.

The 49ers turned the ball over on downs on the next play. With the game decided, Philadelphia put in quarterback Gardner Minshew for Jalen Hurts with 4:05 left on the clock.

  1. 49ers lost their discipline a lot earlier than this brouhaha.
    And no, it wasn’t because of any blown calls, but a breakdown in their defence’s normal tendency to avoid doing stupid stuff.

  2. Williams should have been the only one gone and this crew allowed way more excess football than needed. Will Godel who attended the game throw out big fines. When you want to make a rule for a tackle time big rules for all the unnecessary extra paly on the field. SF showed themselves in this game and much of it was uncalled for.

  3. Could the Eagles have any less class. You are beating a team who literally has no one who can throw the ball. They are forced to play like it is 1940z. Accept your win and good fortune with some sportsmanship and class. Seriously.

  4. The 49ers couldn’t handle getting their butts handed to them. They melted down repeatedly all day.

  5. Very clear that the referees allowed things to get out of hand. There was a slight “after play brawl” that they were STILL breaking up. You don’t let them jaw. A San Fran lineman had to finally grab someone out of that mess and be kicked out of the remaining 4 minutes of the game for it to escalate and then stop. These referees whom I watched for only a half needed to be assertive and not passive. Throw the flag when they don’t separate 5 seconds in and it wouldn’t have gotten that far.

  6. All those trying to blame one team… both teams were acting like babies considering the 24 point gap at that point in the game. Grow up! It wasn’t just San Fran players in that group at the end.

  7. I had no dog in this fight, but certainly the spread, although probably not he eventual outcome, was altered when Brock Purdy went down.
    Regardless, you learn a lot more about a person’s (or a team’s) character through adversity – or in defeat — than you do in victory.
    The 49ers completely lost their poise and composure long before the final gun sounded, and that’s on them. At least some of that can be laid at the feet of the coaching staff. No matter what happened prior, there’s absolutely no excuse for what Trent Williams did and I hope his fine is a stiff one.

  8. If Wallace complains about what Trent did to him, expect Richard Sherman to send him one of those hold my beer memes.

  9. “Tom Brady says:

    Williams should get an 8 game suspension for that”

    Maybe 2, 8 a bit excessive.

  10. Trent Willians is just as bad as Aaron Donald, and gets the same free passes for some reason.

  11. Jeez enjoy your Niners D worn out from being on the field too much, having no QB to play against (havng to run the ball on 4th and 4) and being able to stack the box huge victory Eagles fans.

    “butts handed to them” 🙂

  12. Williams should be suspended for the first 4 games of next season. just because it’s on the football field doesn’t mean that should be an assault charge.

    49ers deserved a better end than this. From a Seahawks fan
    ——————————
    I completely and totally disagree with you. From a REAL Seahawks’ fan……

  14. It was still fun seeing Williams throw him down like a rag doll after the jawing he was doing, lol

  15. That game was pure unadulterated trash. I hate when referees involve themselves in a championship game too much: I didn’t expect the 49ers to win without a QB, but the refs absolutely ruined that game experience. No QB, backbreaking penalties, mishandled calls by referees, hidden yardage provided to the home team by the Refs…..The 49ers didn’t have a chance. That NFC championship game was a waste of everybody’s time.

    If your coach ran an Offense that gave even a small bit of Priority to protecting the Quarterback, you wouldn’t have to be here making excuses….smh….

  17. So let me get this straight, the 49ers were robbed and deserved better? Not hey the Eagles defense destroyed that offense. Oh and instead of trying to throw into whatever that defensive backfield was doing they ran all over the “number 1” defense in the league. Oh and the “best d lineman” in the league had to be moved to the other side because a very injured offensive tackle was manhandling him. Then the other offense lineman manhandled him. Shannahan is not good in big games when he has a QB. DeMeco and the Texans will make the playoffs next year, the niners won’t. Bunch of classless players on the niners and that starts with the coaching staff. Shane after a good season.

  18. Niners completely lost their composure almost throughout the game.
    Stupid needless penalties on Defense and special teams (as though Philly needed help), offense under Josh was constantly at 3 and 20.
    Just ugly all game long. Shanahan had better tell his team to cut out bone headed penalties.
    Just hard to watch.

  19. Williams won’t be suspended because the league won’t suspend Wallace (who was an equal participant but got whipped) for the Super Bowl

  20. Don’t make the strongest man on the field mad. Williams tossed him like a rag doll.
    Most entertaining part of the game.

    Dude. They were playing dirty all game. They cheap shotted Hurts, facemssked Sanders, and went hands to the face on Dickerson. All blatant. Then there was the Rocky punching the ball after the whistle. Ok, then there’s a scrum…and Williams throws him down? They were melting down. The Niners were utterly classless.

  22. 49ers win the wrestling match.

    Eagles going to SB, while making San Francisco look like dudes who can’t control their tempers.

  23. Could the Eagles have any less class. You are beating a team who literally has no one who can throw the ball. They are forced to play like it is 1940z. Accept your win and good fortune with some sportsmanship and class. Seriously.

    Coming from fans who talk a lot of trash and bragged about their wins over teams that lost done if they’re best players throughout the playoffs. Soft, sore losers

  24. I bet when Watt saw all the punches hew wondering if Godel will fine SF player for the same. Godel being at the game should be able to clearly see where the game is turning towards, and it is not pretty. A championship game and too many players had no control.

  25. Williams and the rest of the Clara players lost their composure and followed Shanahan’s lead of how not to act when you are getting smoked. Reminded me of Mike Tyson biting Holyfield’s ear off because he wanted to be disqualified and an easy out.
