Why did so many have the Niners winning this?

Silver Surfer · Jan 18, 2022

Because they were more objective in their evaluations of the teams than a group of people on a website that are fans of one of the teams.

VABoyz · Jan 18, 2022

Mostly this team is overrated a lot of the years because of the "BRAND". when the cowboys when or lose its blown up more than other teams. we go on a 3 game winning streak and fans and media is like "maybe" super bowl but if the bengals or texans do a FOUR game winning streak its barely a blip. everything is overhyped with this team including the players. been like that for years and a lot buy in to it. the fans have been setup for letdowns so many times but im surprised people still fall for it. almost every year they talk about our "talent" but it takes way more than that to win like DISCIPLINE, FOCUS, ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND LEADERSHIP. we regulalry lack most of those. the cowboys are pretty much just a show most seasons. there isnt a coincidence that its been 26 years since real playoff success.

The team was hyped because they went 12-5, had the #1 offense and a defense that led the league in turnovers.

Everyone ignored what the Broncos, Cards, and Chiefs did to our offense and how they exploited the interior of the offensive line.

ClappingCarrot · Jan 18, 2022

Because it was painfully obvious from the get go what was going to happen. People who have watched the Cowboys post Barry Switzer have seen this movie dozens of times.

Niners telegraphed their offensive and defensive game plan all week, bragged about how tough they were and how beatable you were, and you couldn't even win a game they did their best to piss away.

I had a thread talking about how I was scared of this game ,,,,why? Why did so many not give us a chance, well? Hell, we were at home.

Beating up on the....Eagles, Giants Washington didn't fool anyone, while the Niners are dealing with Rams,Cards and Russell Wilson, that is something totally different, was that it?

Everybody picked the Niners, we got no respect.

LOL...........for exactly the reason you just saw. Cowboys are a disaster. Anytime you are the most penalized team in the NFL you have no business in the playoffs.

Prescot is a terrible leader with OVER INFLATED NUMBERS and we're stuck with this $40 million dollar a year scrub for at least another 2 - 3 years. GOD HELP US!

The game played out exactly how they thought it would. really this question was answered sunday on the field.

RaZon · Jan 18, 2022

Like to thank everyone who gave an opinion up above, but as I started to delve into answering I started feeling bad, it's been a couple days now of nothing but BOO COWBOYS and I love the Cowboys and it's like poking fun at a close buddy.

I need a few days off get my head right, this one hurt.

Ren · Jan 18, 2022

Because we are and have been for the past quarter century a undisciplined mess that folds under the slightest bit of pressure

MountaineerCowboy · Jan 18, 2022

Because if you watched this offense operate the past 2 months or so you could see this coming from a mile away.

I STILL picked the Cowboys to win, but I was not surprised one bit. I prepared myself for this loss weeks ago.

Nothing like a butt fumble. LOL.

Or the Butt Block two great blooper plays.

Diehardblues · Jan 18, 2022

All of the concerns with matchups were widely publicized.

They had strong running game against our weak rushing defense

They had strong defense against running game

Their front 4 could cause havoc and put pressure on without blitzing .

And they all played out to form.

If we hadn’t held them to all of the FG’s it wouldn’t have been close.

Because try as we might, this team can't hide it's flaws. Fans have been talking about how talented the team is for years.

Talented players don't commit stupid penalties. Talented players are consistent. Talented players don't always need everything to go right to make something happen.

Mark Sanchez has more playoff wins than this franchise since 1995. Let that sink in.

Nonsense

Jordan went 5/19 and still won a chip

Here's my theory: Our Cowboys don't cater to winning at home! No pleasing the non-exuberant Dallas fans; we prefer it on the road.

Again, we just don't believe in pleasing the wine & cheese crowds at home. It's not our way. Winning at home isn't really a challenge.
Nevertheless, we scared the pea-pea out of those Niner fans towards the end of the game, didn't we? Mission accomplished!

As Dallas typical Dallas Cowboys, players they're infinitely more selective than that! There's nothing like shocking them on the road!!

Cowboys were not a great home team while winning SB

I think this is the answer, the big guys simply better. Nobody thinking Jimmy G is better than Dak.

Maybe he is!

Jerry Rice said it a while back

..they could literally see how hungry and physical SF plays. Dallas fans we're whistling in the dark about this.

Coaches FAILED to bring the intensity up, again. Rich kids in Dallas uni's.

MM teams were soft in GB. Maybe we’re just a less talented version of MM GB teams w/o the QB being unable to carry us to greater heights then our overall talent!

I badly wanted the Rams to beat the 9ers. If the Cowboys were really good, they beat the 9ers. If the Cowboys were good they beat the losers of 4 out of the last 5 Arizona cardinalds.

The playoffs represent the best coaches, gameplans and players. Our flaws were going to be exploited early and often. That is why SMART football people picked the Niners to win. And even had we pulled off a miracle comeback...we would have lost next week. Stop HOPING this or that may break our way...and start FIXING your flaws!!!!!!!!!

People pick against the Cowboys because they haven’t done it. There are no smart football people

And the fact the Cowboys hadn’t beaten a decent team since NE
