ode to and yada yada, you've seen these before i imagine
1. I think we are the scariest fan group in the league. I've been pretty surprised at national takes on this game but shocked at the fan base takes. Dallas is a better roster and coaching staff.
2. I think the key to this game on offense will be 2 players: Tyron Smith and Zeke. If Tyron is 95% of his All-Pro self (he wasn't last week but it was his first game back) then the SF DL will struggle to pressure Dak. And Zeke because his blocking and tough running inside allows the offense to open up off play action.
3. I think the defensive key is Jayron Kearse. Dallas has an answer for most anything the 49ers do offensively with Trevon Diggs and Micah Parsons. The one tougher match up will be Kearse handling Kittle. Limit Kittle and the SF passing game should turn it over.
4. I think the SF cover 3 should be pretty easy to beat. It's what Quinn used to run before realizing he had to go multiple sets. It reduces strain on a CB to cover but asks a lot of them in run stopping. SF has CBs that fit that role quite well but still struggle a far bit in coverage when that ferocious pass rush isn't getting home.
5. I think it's being underdiscussed how limited Jimmy G has been in the playoffs. He has averaged 142 yards per game passing. That's downright awful and is why SF drafted a QB early last year.
6. I think Shanahan is really just a slightly smarter Jason Garrett. He will live and die with the run game.
7. I think Kellen Moore puts his stamp on his OC career with a virtuoso performance this weekend. Kellen is in line for a number of Head Coach openings and this might be the last week he has a chance to light up the scoreboard. I expect this to be different in all the right ways.
8. I think after being told how great SF is all week come Monday it'll be well you just beat a team that scraped into the playoffs when other teams took week 17 off.
9. I think Micah Parsons is going to spy Deebo Samuel anytime he is near the backfield.
10. I think Dallas wins this weekend but it gets A LOT harder the following week. Seeing Philly would be an unbelievable break. The Cowboys have that entire city shook. Head Coach went from wearing beat Dallas t-shirts to not even playing his starters.
