Divisional Round Saturday Game Thread

[Swagger]

A high seed is just huge in the post season.

More rest, fewer games and...home field advantage.

It's why you can't chuck away games that should be won in the regular season.

I'll take the Ravens or the Chiefs over the 49ers anyways..I can see the Titans giving the Ravens all they can handle tonight.

Honestly don't really know how you stop Jackson... Someone is going to figure it out, but... that is tough on a defense when the guy can throw accurately and run like lightning.

 

[Gaede]

They’ll see the truth if/when we overpay Dak. They’ll grow tired of his ineptness. They will be mad when we can’t afford weapons that elevate him. They will see how much he struggles as Zeke declines. It’s going to get bad...

So what's the standard here.

I'd like to know. Because for Dak, the expectations are ever changing. Every time he proves haters wrong, the 'standards' suddenly change. He was far and away the better QB, when it comes to both Kirk and Jimmy G. What's the difference between the three of them? Why is one labelled an inferior passer (despite the proof to the contrary)? I can think of one reason, which I won't list but is incredibly obvious, especially when it comes to irrational hate. Outside of that reason, both of the other guys also happened to have experienced NFL OCs (Shanahan, Kubiak) and elite defenses.

Kirk's stats for 2019:

• 3,603 yds
• 26 TDs
• 6 INTS
• 58.7 QBR

Dak's stats:

• 4,902 yds
• 30 TDs
• 11 INTs
• 70.1 QBR

Jimmy G's stats:

• 3,978 yds
• 27 TDs
• 13 INTs
• 59.0 QBR

Vikings look like the Cowboys did a year ago in LA.

 

[Swagger]

Had this game been in Minnesota and they had the longer lay I see the score being the other way round

 

[blueblood70]

I’m not sure why we can’t do that with our OL unless it’s over hyped along with our RB?

really? im sick of the Zeke and our run game needs to do this or that..sure they are solid but 2 backs have 29 carries for 134 in 3 qtrs. thats 4.6YPC

they are rewriting history books.. zeke had 80 yards before the half in game 16 hes had many games int eh first half near 6YPC

our OC for some reason went away from the run in the second halves of games but thats just a solid run game today..how its mesmerizing folks I dont know..

the blind hate because zeke got paid is out of control...​

 

[TwelfthStar]

Big guy catches a pass!

 

[Buzzbait]

Uh Oh, Frisco doesn't want to see Bosa slow to get up......

 

[blueblood70]

Vikings look like the Cowboys did a year ago in LA.

WORSE zeke had 80 in that game and got torn apart..the vikes cant run at all..

the vaunted cook once agin gets hurt this season , misses 2-3 games or more and now struggling big time in big game.

Fully expected them to win this one. Niners D is good.

Both times Dallas had the one-seed in this century they choked in the divisional round - Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett. Thanks, Jerry.

Even though I go more by eye than stats... I would be curious to see what it looks like with teams like the Giants, Lions, etc... out of there...

Maybe what they all look like where they played the same teams, with winning records. Not sure how many games they played against the same teams under those circumstances though.

I wish the mods would create a Negative Posters thread. Those posters like this girl/guy who do nothing but whine all the time would be restricted to that forum. The 2019 team is gone. The team going forward is going to be a new team with new coaches and a new personality. Losers who live in the past should be only allowed to post on the Negative Posters thread.

Not arguing, but in Garappolo's defense, he has one legit receiver in Littles. Dak had Gallup, Cooper, and Cobb. I think Dak and Garappolo are pretty much neck and neck. Jimmy G has better anticipation and better accuracy, but Dak is tougher, more athletic and less turnover prone.

I don’t care about stats. Cousins and Garappolo have worse stats, but look where they are. I care about wins. Dak May have the better “stats” but where are these stats in times that matter most? Games that matter most? Kirk and Jimmy G show up when their teams need them most. Dak doesn’t. Didn’t see him improve these “stats” much in the 2nd Philly game, aka, the most important game of the season. Or the Bills game. Or the Bears game.

Don’t forget to add in the fact that half of Dak’s stats come from garbage time anyways. Remember that first Packers game where he got 3 TD’s in garbage time? Yeah, I do. Or that Bears game where he got like 2 garbage TD’s? Or the Bills game where he got that garbage TD? Half of Dak’s TD’s came from garbage time (aka, when the defense went into “who gives a crap we won” mode.) Jimmy G and Kirk don’t have these stats because they usually don’t play from behind, and if they do, they don’t throw 3 TD’s in garbage time because they lead their teams from behind.

Edit: oh yeah. Forgot that. Dak has a way better cast than both QB’s. Jimmy G has Kittle and Sanders. Besides that, he has a bunch of nobodies. A lot of players were getting injured towards the middle of the season. Kirk had to play without Theilan and had Diggs as his #1 for a while and won. Dak crumbled without Amari and Cobb.

I wish they had an ignore button so people that complain like you wouldn’t have to see posts from people you dislike so much....


Oh wait. They do. Why don’t you use it?

It's the low arch of his throws, his situational awareness, and pocket presents that makes him fail the eye-test, to some. IMO.

Please take out the garbage time stats please as Prescott had below average games in seven of the team's eight losses.

It's soooooo funny/sad at how people keep on reeling out the stats Prescott had last season.

The key stat is...what is he doing right now!? Oh yeah...

According to physiologist, ya know the people that study humans for a living, the human eye is very unreliable
