You can tell those that actually know something about OL play by how they react to this.

Despite being rusty at playing period; despite coming back from an injury; despite playing a position he had not played for a decade, Tyron overall did pretty well.

Sad how some of you can't see how Dak's performance against the 49ers was mostly because of the poor pass protection by the Oline, bad receiver routes and absolutely no rushing attack whatsoever. The 49ers just pinned their ears back and came hard on pass rush nonstop because our Oline stunk that bad. The tape proves it. But let's blame Dak no matter what since he's the $40 million dollar man.


How about Prescott protects the ball and doesn't throw two interceptions. If he had done that Dallas wins the game.

The game was lost because of the turnovers, period. That's why Prescott gets blamed for the loss.

Any other argument about how the game was lost is BS.

I think every OL has 6 bad snaps a game and certainly against a SF front with that strong of a front 7 that also does some things to try and confuse the Offense and a couple of those weren't really too bad if hte ywere considered his worst plays of the game. Seemed to me it was more confusion based than anything else. Even the first play it was like Tyron wasn't sure what his responsibility was even though it seemed like it should have been really obvious just by watching in real time or the replay. What Tyron was thinking on that play I don't know. Was Schultz supposed to go off to the flat, but adjusted when he saw the blitz and Tyron didn't so Tyron thought he had the end? Was Zeke supposed to get the Blitzer and not release? Was Martin supposed to get the blitzer - not likely because the defender he blocked was on his outside shoulder so it's not like Biadasz could have slid and blocked him if Martin went for the blitzer. Again, it just seemed like Tyron was confused for some reason on a few of these even if his assignment seemed to be obvious. I'd like to see the rest of the snaps now and suspect he did pretty well over all, which is the feeling I had after the game

What's BS is your horrible attempt to blame him because it's Dak...the one who replaced your precious. That's what this is all about, and we all know it. Mike Martz even explained those 2 INTs. 1 was on the WR. The other was on Dak. Regardless, the Oline absolutely stunk the whole game, and this tweet proves it. You just can't handle the truth.

When someone claims there's a single reason a game was lost, you can comfortably ignore everything they have to say.

....when all else fails bring up Romo. Typical weak-minded BS by the typical Dak lovers.

Dak missed some plays for sure, watching this though tells me again just how un prepared we were for what they were gonna do, the whole offense looks confused alot in those clips.

Watching those clips certainly should have warranted more thought being placed on the OL in the draft and / or FA.

I like our guys, but come on. Why not aggressively select a guard in round 2 or 3?

I've said it all offseason, Tyron should be the swing tackle this year, he just can't move anymore, people thinking he can still play left tackle or for a full season are just delusional....

to be honest when they were in position they did fine.. thats not players as much as coaching to me, there should not be that many missed assigments and not just on the line it was everywhere.

A big factor in the loss was the rest advantage for the 49ers and the Cowboys traveling from coast to coast.

I dont think so Rambo, watching that shows just how unprepared we were..again. Its an overiding theme with this team in playoff games over the last 27 years.

Dak played like caca regardless of the O-line. The first interception was inexcusable. He’s got to make better decisions. The 49ers have done it to him two years in a row in the playoffs. Dak is what he is. He has hit his ceiling. I’m hoping the team recognizes that and not ask him to do more because he just can’t do it. In 2, maybe 3 more years, Dak probably won’t even be a top 20 quarterback. It’s only a matter time before he starts to decline. There’s also the injury concern. He’s getting older and more fragile. What are the chances he completes this season without missing a game?
