Yet they had to win Sunday to get in? Let's keep things in perspective media and analysts.
SF was decimated by injuries early in the year and had to battle to get into the playoffs in a tough division and are playing and peaking at the right time, they're a scary team for Dallas to play, they match up well against the Cowboys
Dallas record against other playoff teams this year
3-4
one win against the Patriots in OT, two wins against the Eagles, first game they were decimated by injuries, second game, they rested 20 players, I get it, you can only play who's in front of you but
four losses to playoff teams TB, KC, LA raiders, Cardinals and the other loss to Denver that dominated the Cowboys at home...(three home losses)
Now you can look at the total win/loss record, but I choose to look inside the win/loss record and where those win/loses came during the season and against who....
Perspective? The Cowboys will have their work cut out for them on Sunday...... and if there's one upset this weekend and there's usually one surprise, my money would be on SF for that upset to beat Dallas because of how the Cowboys played in games against other playoff contenders during the year.
My issues with Dallas, they don't run the ball consistently enough on offense, defensive line is prone to being gashed in the run game, see the loses to playoff teams during the season for that and the defense allows too many big plays down the field.... Dallas takes too many penalties and I don't trust peg leg Greg which I think this game will come down to a late field goal
Dallas needs to cut down on the penalties, limit the running game and protect Dak to win this game......
