The 9ers are going to be tough in the trenches, and that’s usually our kryptonite. On the other hand how good are the 9ers?

The Cowboys have played in a very surprisingly tough NFCE division this year. Three of the for NFCE teams have made the final 4 in the playoffs.

Dallas’ schedule included games against:

(Regular season only)
Tampa Bay (playoffs). L
Eagles x2 (playoffs) L/W
Giants x2. W
Bengals W
Jaguars L
Minnesota W

About half of their games have been against playoff teams.

I am sure there are some additional examples that I am forgetting, but I think you get the drift.

The Eagles, Giants, Jaguars, and Bengals are all in the final 4 of the playoffs in their respective divisions.


The 9’ers have played in a weak division. Maybe the 9ers are the juggernaut that the media is proclaiming them to be. But when it’s crunch time, if the game is close, I would not want to be fielding a rookie qb.

I’m not sure whether the playing time that Purdy has received is a help to him (experience) or a detriment (teams are starting to get more and more tape on him).

If this were a Garrett coached team, I would be very concerned about this matchup. But with MM calling the shots, I have to think the fact that Purdy is a rookie will be a significant factor in this game.

49ers bullied us last year on both sides of the football. Very tough matchup.

They're pretty good.

Basically, the Cowboys are going to have to make Purdy beat them. They need to sell out to stop the run and those pesky screens on early downs, and then get after Purdy on 2nd and 3rd and long. Kittle will have to be locked down by a CB or safety on key downs. And we'll simply have to trust the secondary to play well. And maybe they can.

Tackling will be key.

On offense, the Niners will not allow them to run, early. So Moore must be creative on every 1st down in the 1st half. Pound the rock in the 2nd half.

They are awesome. So many weapons on offense. CMC, Deebo, Aiuk, Kittle, on and on…..awesome Oline as well. And than the front 7 on the D is just as good.

Having said that they suck at defending the pass. That’s how we win this one…through the air

Despite that we still had a shot to win, but we suffered from us shooting our own feet. I hope theyve learned from last year and keep the same intensity & discipline they had this week. They handled a good Dline & secondary this week, lets see if they can handle another one next week.

It's time the rookie looked like a rookie. I have hope .. they actually called someone for holding Parsons last night.

The good thing is we will know who we are playing if we win on Saturday night. Don’t you think it will give them a little motivation if the Gents somehow advance? That’s a home NFC Title game if that happens!

They have small holes at corner/secondary which is more than adequately covered up by the Dline and QB that so far no one has been able to rattle or shake his confidence. Other that that, there’s not much weakness. Their lines are both really good and physical as hell.

I would say 49ers are the odds on favorite to get to the SB. If you had the matchup Eagles vs 49er who would you take? Cowboys have a tall task but at least now I feel they are ready to meet the challenge. For me I did not look at Tampa as some insurmountable task but what I did see is this team went out and handled their business in impressive fashion removing a lot of doubts of their ability to win in post season, to win on the road. I think they head into SF will a lot more confidence in themselves

Are the 49ers better this year than last year?

49ers are the whole package, except I keep expecting the rookie to have a game where he looks like a rookie.
I assume that will eventually happen.
He's played great but has also had a lot of good breaks

This is a winnable game, we have to play clean football to beat the Niners on the road. We can't turn the ball over, have a bunch of penalties or miss any field goals. The defense is good enough to contain their offense as long as they don't get run over but is going to come down to Dak putting up enough points.
