They are 7th in the league at 126.9 YPG. That’s is 2.3 YPG better than us. And here’s the thing, that’s only because they run it a lot because their QB sucks and their coach struggles getting his receivers open without playaction. They are 17th in yards per carry at 4.3, 0.2 yards LESS than Dallas.

This is not the team that went to the SB 2 years ago. They are a one dimensional offense that runs out of necessity and they are below average on a per carry basis.

Seems to be working for them...

This is a cringe post.

I think the Cowboys will win, but San Fran is not a cake walk. They’re just getting healthy and they’re a hard nosed grinding team. This is the kind of team Dallas always struggles with. I expect a dog fight.

As do I. Although, we've been hearing for weeks that the Cowboys are trash and that we haven't won a play-off game since 2018. I expect the Cowboys to show up ready to play.

Yeah I’m not too worried about the Niners if I’m honest. I don’t think they’re a horrible team, but I don’t think they’re a top team either.

I think we beat them pretty decisively.

This feels like an "I'm scared. Hold me and convince me everything is going to be okay" thread.

I was a lot more scared to play the Cards (Kyler has our #) or LA (more weapons, McVey stomped us in the playoffs).

You were expecting an easy out in the playoffs? The Eagles aren't going to be an easy out. We just lost to the Cards, definitely not an easy out. I don't see us covering all of the Rams weapons very well, not an easy out. Brady, never an easy out. Rodgers, never an easy out. Yeah, there are no easy outs in the playoffs.

But hey, we aren't an easy out either. Solid ground game. Lots of passing weapons. Great turnover differential. Great at putting points on the board. Great pass rush. Etc. There ain't no ****ing fat lady before the games even start.
