Are we only afraid of San Francisco and Philadelphia?

From the NFC?

That's what I keep hearing. That those are the only 2 real threats to us in the NFC.

Philly has assembled quite a team. Rush had trouble against the dynamic corner duo of Slay and Bradberry. No idea if Dak will have the same troubles, but if we have Tyron back and our offense line becomes beast mode.... Dak will have time to dissect the Eagles defense. Maybe it'll be a different game than Game 1.

49ers have all the star players. They're 3-0 in their division most importantly, and their defense at times can suffocate you. Aiyuk, Samuel, Kittle, and McCaffrey.... holy cow. No team in America has that many defenders to match that many offensive top players. Most people think they're better than Seattle.

I think Giants are improved, but not a powerhouse. The Vikings are 6-1, but their division is a joke. Seattle has everyone behind Geno Smith - they love him right now. But I think his steam comes to a full stop at some point. Not that he's gonna sink completely, but I don't see him leading them past a powerhouse defense which is what you can expect in the NFC Championship game.
Honestly I don’t think this defense is afraid of anybody. And this team can Match score points if not better than anyone

leave it up to the fans we should be scared of everyone

only team that poses a threat is the Eagles right now.........but anything can happen
49ers and eagles. The problem is if we get the wildcard, unless a worse wildcard team pulls an upset, we go in to Philly in the division round… Even if we are clearly the second best team in the conference.
I would love to see us in Philly in the NFC champions game… To be a great hero you need a great villain… And that match up would have both

No reason to be scared of anyone, especially right now. Lots of games to be played and we have no idea if these teams or us will look the same when the playoffs roll around.

All of that warrants consideration, "afraid" is probably the wrong word. We are more dangerous than any of them top to bottom. Our defense is relentless, and we have an offense capable of exploding as well as a return man who teams really want to avoid.

We took Philly the distance while our back up threw 3 pics. The 9ers have a squad, but most those guys you named are injured as often as healthy. As always it will be a war of attrition. We get the Bears game Dak and we are good to go.

I don’t have great feels of having to go on the road to play Seattle anytime soon. They have a stud RB and the defense is coming together. Carroll can coach!
He’s got that team playing like a team. We are finally starting to play like that…..all in as a group and with some toughness we didn’t have in that playoff game last year.

Every team has flaws; the Cowboys have the talent to play with any team in the NFL; our issue is that we typically get out-coached and out-schemed by our opponents.

I am until we prove we can stop the run.

As long as they are down by less than 10 points I'm ok with this sentiment.

Philly seems to have found a formula to neutralize our strenght on D, the passrush, also we don't match very well on O against their cover corners and mamouth d line, so thats that. They are tough on their turf as historically we have seen. Having said that, they are really flying high right now, they seem poised for a historic season (undefeated?), maybe they get arrogant and over confident and some streaking hot team can pop their balloon in the playoffs, sure hope is our boys.

Philadelphia doesn’t scare me, their offense is smoke and mirrors and eventually they won’t be able to hide Hurts anymore against good defenses. We almost came back to beat them on the road with Cooper Rush spotting them 17 points.

San Francisco concerns me if they can get and stay healthy. Top to bottom they have the best roster in the NFC and they matchup well against us. That being said, if they continue to be plagued by injuries they may not even win their own division and will be fighting for a wild card spot.

I healthy CMC on a 49ers team is concerning. I did not like hearing that trade news. He takes a lot of pressure off of and makes things easier for Garoppolo.
