Kayvon Thibodeaux, Joe Staley engaged in hilariously bizarre Twitter feud over 49ers NFC title loss

Thibodeaux v. Staley was quite a Twitter battle.

New York Giants pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux and former San Francisco 49ers tackle Joe Staley got into one of the strangest Twitter beefs of the new year.

As the 49ers struggled to mount much of a fight against the Philadelphia Eagles during Sunday’s NFC championship, Thibodeaux took to Twitter to troll San Francisco for their bad afternoon.

Well, Staley took great offense to that and decided to slam Thibodeaux’s playing ability and say that he’s let New York media get to his head.

Thibodeaux responded with an equally devastating clapback, and the two were off in the bizarre social media back-and-forth. You can see the highlights below.

Then, out of nowhere, former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes got in on the action.

Staley did not take kindly to Tynes’ response.

Adding to the conversation, former Giants pass rusher Michael Strahan came to Thibodeaux’s and Tynes’ defense.

As you can guess, there really wasn’t a “winner” to this feud, only social media hubbub. However, Staley wasn’t the only member of Niners faithful who didn’t like Thibodeaux’s post. San Francisco defensive end Arik Armstead had some critiques of his own.

Thibodeaux responded with a wisecrack of his own, but he doled out some respect for his fellow pass rusher.

While we certainly won’t see Thibodeaux and Staley take their beef onto the field since the latter hasn’t played since the 2019-20 season, the 49ers and Giants might have some words for each other the next time they play.

They both lost to the Eagles, so at least they have that in common.
