28-10 before 1st INT

[Captain-Crash]

the defense didn't score enough.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Dak was playing like garbage long before the interceptions. That just sealed it. The Cowboys have no chance if they get behind by more than 1 TD.

That's because when they get behind we need to rely on Dak actually throwing and he pretty much sucks at reading defenses.

The last 2 times he's played the 49er's he looks like he has deer in the headlights. Like he wants to be anywhere but on the football field.

 

[Flamma]

Exactly!

it was out of frustration,

if nobody's getting open on a consistent basis, he was just trying to make something happen so he was just chucking the ball up hoping it landed in someone's hands that wasn't the other team this is what happened... yes the quarterback and the rest of the team would get frustrated if there was no run game ,if you're running back fumbles the football, if you're offensive lines not blocking well, if nobody's getting open. and the defense is playing bad ,and there's flags all over the field.... yes, these are basically our two losses and yet somehow there's 14 threads on why we need to replace Prescott.

I can't argue with you. It was desperation time. Reminded me of the Romo years. Just switch quarterbacks.

 

[Creeper]

It is great to look at these videos and see wide open receivers that Dak didn't throw to, but look at the OL. How many times was Dak pressured? How many times was he hit? I know Bosa is a great edge rusher, but Steele did an awful job. The offensive line did an awful job most of the night. There was no room to run and not much pass protection, even on the last play with max protection, Dak got hit after releasing the football. I am not excusing Dak, but the OL was a major disappointment on the night. If Steele could not handle Bosa on his own, then they should have given him help. Look at how the 49ers handled Micah with multiple guys hitting him on almost every play, and running right hat him. The Cowboys did little of that.

 

[CyberB0b]

Hahahahahah. What a stupid response this is

Not really. It’s not a huge deficit and there was plenty of time left. 3 score comebacks happen multiple times every week, but the offense was awful.

 

[stiletto]

He gave you ZERO chance to even be competitive in the game. No team has ever come back being down in a game?

I don't think anyone is coming back on the 49ers this year if they are up 3 scores. Not even Mahomes or the elite of the elite. Very low chance. 49ers are a complete team.

No freaking way you do remember the defense also wasn't stopping anybody there was no threat of a run game and nobody was getting open somehow you think that was gonna change suddenly after the 18 point deficit no not against this team this you're not playing the team that's just gonna let up and let you back in the game they weren't gonna play prevent defense the rest of the second-half get over that thought now OK Prescott hater we get you we see you we hear you and we don't care what you think because we all were watching the game they would have had to create turnovers in order to come back that wasn't gonna happen we saw it the defense was responsible for all the flags for all the big points given up to get to that 18 point deficit it's fell squarely on the defense the first 40 minutes of that game then the offense became restless and decided to throw all caution into the wind game was decided no 18 point comebacks were gonna happen against this team at their house when the rest of our team was playing poorly there was nothing good happening...

 

[Sydla]

The game was already lost before the 1st INT.

Morons that call the talk radio programs all exclaim ...3 Interceptions...

Dak was bad but the INTs are irrelevant to the game.

1) With 20 or so minutes left, while unlikely, Dallas could have still made it a game. Dak's interceptions killed that. You can't just magically make interceptions go away. And in fairness, not all three were his fault. The Gallup one was likely Gallup's fault.

2) Let's not gloss over the fact one reason the game was 28-10, which allows you to try to pretend Dak's interceptions were no big deal, is the fact Dak played crappily to start the game.

It's like the playoff game. All the Dak fans screaming how Diggs didn't intercept the ball. Like if Diggs had intercepted it the offense was going to march down the field and score. Until then they had done nothing, couldn't move the ball but yea Diggs was to blame apparently.

Jan of this year we played the 49-ers with the vaunted Kellen Moore #1 offense and the offense scored 12 points
Last Sunday night the offense scored 10 points.

So all these Dak fans screaming about the #1 offense and how awesome it was under KM....2 points? That's your improvement?

Yes, my point is that they lost because they failed in the 1st half.

Any analysis of why the lost should focus on the 1st half.

Dak was too conservative in the 1st half and then started forcing it in the 2nd half. That's what I call the Brett Farve game plan. Behind on the scoreboard...force the ball. On the 20% of times that worked, Farve was the hero, but the other 80% it resulted in INTs.

Dak does not have the arm talent to play that style. Dak must play the Aikman style of throw the ball away if receivers are not open and depend on the run game to produce. It's the style SF uses with Purdy.

 

[atlantacowboy]

All this shows is that he couldn’t do anything even before he started trying to make plays that were not there. Not sure that’s much of a defense for Dak.

That's the problem here there was no run game there was no physical offensive line and players were not getting open I I don't understand how people expect a quarterback to play in this it's easy for Purdy to play in the offense as he's in when they execute and they seem to execute more than they don't including the scheme and the game plan... They had our number from the first snap all the way to the last... That's what people fail to see here they act like we could make a comeback in the second-half when the defense was still giving up plays the clock was running they weren't gonna allow our receivers to get open they were not going into prevent they did not care they wanted to embarrass us that was their goal they were not gonna let off the gas and they didn't have to they could just keep running left run right run middle throw throw throw throw throw and just move the ball down the field and even if they had to end up punting they ate up a whole bunch of clock they act like we could make a comeback as if we were playing some scrub team that was gonna make mistakes the only way we were gonna make a comeback is that that defense took the ball away they didn't and they weren't making stops... And when the defense did make a stop we still didn't have receivers downfield open because while the play calls the scheme the receivers who knows..

The INTs were in "Garbage Time."

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

The INTs were in "Garbage Time."

So until then what exactly was the offense doing? Please elaborate because the way you state this, it makes it seem like the offense was just keeping us competitive instead of repeatedly going 3 and out and fumbling.

I will spell out sarcasm better next time.
Sounds like you're affording excuses to one specific group of players and not others. You do you. It blows my mind how many excuses there is for the defense. I didn't expect to run the score on them, so it's not a real shock. 9ers are a very good team. Only an idiot would assume it would be like the NY games. But like clockwork, the highs and lows in this place are alarming.

 

[CWR]

Nobody was going to get pressure on the 9ers offense that day. It didn't come down to lack of pressure, it came down to lack of coverage.

The two go hand and hand. I dont know our strategy but I bet we stacked the box quite a bit and sold out to stop the run. The moment these guys stopped blowing off their run assignments the pass rush stopped being elite. The Cards exposed that.

And Dak's three 3 and outs to start the game were a huge part of that. INT's are not everything.

 

[kskboys]

Dak was pretty awful even if you remove the INTs.

Brock Purdy's an elite QB. I'm honestly more upset about THAT development than I am about Dak's poor game.

Dak's good but not elite. That's always been the case.

And I'm even starting to have major questions about calling him "good".

 

[kskboys]

Nobody cares about the INTs. The game was lost in the first half when the offense's first 4 drives lasted a total of about 4 minutes, got a total of 15 yards and turned the ball over once on our end of the field.

Even with the defense stiffening after the first drive and even getting a turnover right after our offense turned it over, everyone could see that the defense was going to run out of steam without the offense doing something to help them out. It was basically a replay of the playoffs last year. Defense folded after being left on the field the whole game.

The INT'S were just funny at that point.

Very well said.

Our D was bad. Our O was even worse.
