I wasn't sure Dallas would win this game tonight, but I never expected the defense to give up so many yards and points. The 49ers played only 3 quarters and won by 32.
I know Dak will get a lot of criticism and he deserves it, but it was not his fault the 49ers scored at will. Remember, they fumbled at the one yards line or it would have been 28 to 7 at the half.
The defense was awful. But give Purdy credit. He is a smart accurate passer. He made Dak look like a bum.
The Cowboys miss Diggs. He had that swagger and the Cowboys secondary misses that.
Every game now, Kearse looks like he is a big problem. I don't know who else they can play but Kearse is a liability.
When Dallas loses, it is a team effort. For the most part the entire team was bad.
But it is hard to look at this game comparing Purdy to Dak and not see that Dak is the problem. He is still holding the ball too long, he is not seeing the field. He is inaccurate. Dak could not make any of those throws Purdy dropped in for big gains. I don't know what they do with Dak, but if I was them, I would find out right now if Trey Lance has a future in teh NFL. If he doesn't then the Cowboys need to spend some draft capital on a QB.
Its the play calling too. You could see right away you cannot run outside on SF. Their LBs are way to fast and instinctive. Dallas wasted so many downs trying to run outside for no gain or a loss. I would run right up the gut against them. Run at them, they they were running at Parsons. I would use a FB and run Dowdle and Pollard right behind him. They have a great run blocking duo on both sides of the line and they wasted it.
