How good are the 49ers?

[nyc-cowboy]

We always say game are won and lost in the trenches and SF is better on both sides of the ball.

That said, Moore would have to get to the next level in play calling - last night was a good start - he has move Dak around the pocket, call naked bootlegs, more motion and play action, pick/rub routes ect. and let Dak RUN.

Just look at how many drives Daniel Jones extended by running.

Its the D that got me concerned - after LVE we got no LBs - their run game is our kryptonite.

Gonna have to pull out all the stops to beat the 49ers in SF.

True but which was more recent? I could be wrong but doesn't Dak have like 15 INTs in last 13 games?

Everyone keeps talking about pressuring Purdy is the key to victory. In last 6 games teams have thrown the kitchen sink at the kid and he's punished them for it.

I think Dak handles pressure worse than Purdy and he will probably be under pressure all day against the 9ers.

Dak is outstanding against the blitz. Although I won't say pressure is the same thing. From what I saw of Purdy last week he was throwing in ridiculous windows. He's a system qb now. Maybe he will be more, but I wouldn't go comparing him to anyone yet. Even Copper Rush looked fantastic his first few games, then it caught up to him, and the offense became less and less effective.

Wasn't it @erod who kept telling me about our historically easy schedule?

It was. Tell me the best three teams Dallas beat this year. And don't give me the Minshew game.

Cincy
Minny (they are awful)
the Giants? (LOL)

The NFC is gawd awful. Got outplayed by Houston, Jacksonville, and the Colts (for three quarters). Got throttled by Washington. Gave up big leads in the fourth quarter twice. Got killed by the team we played last night in the season opener.

Philly, San Fran, KC, and Buffalo win 15-17 games against our schedule.

"The Goat" is a shell of his former self. Tampa's run game is non existent, Brady threw 66 times.

Again for the record I'm not saying its in the bag for the 9ers but if you Cowboys fans are using last nights game as a measuring stick you're in for a wake up call. 9ers D and O is better than Washingtons.

Hell I expect a battle, I agree Tampa is not SF and if you are measuring us based on Washington outcome, you are sadly mistaken.

Oh I'm not anywhere near crowing the kid as the 2nd coming of Young. I'm just saying he's been under pressure every game and handled it very well.

No if anything I measuring the Cowboys based on Dak for the same reason you guys are measuring the 9ers because of Purdy. Dak 15 INTs in last 13 games. Pressure will be the key against the Cowboys. Keeping the Cowboys offense off the field also. TOP will be different from Tampa bay.

 

[CrownCowboy]

its a two way thing. there is not enough game on him to decipher hsi weaknesses, unless he is another Cassel or Brady. by the same token he hasn't seen enough neither. Playoffs get more exotic and tougher as you move up...
it will be interesting if Quinn can find a weakness and attack it. pressure will do that, but we have to stop the run first, and force them into a passing situation and then let the dogs loose and see how he responds. if we can't stop the run game, then its going to be very very very tough

It begins and ends with the running game. Make no mistake about it. They firmly believe that they can run on anybody. That's their identity and they will stick to it. Whether it works or not. It's a big reason why Purdy has had success in my opinion.

That's exactly why I'd load up the box and send pressure. Will we get burned for a play or two? Maybe. I just think that is a part of the game that we need to take away. If we are successful in doing that then it gives us a great chance. I won't take anything away from Purdy but it's time for him to come back down to earth.

This is full of excuses and swiss cheese holes.

NFC is not godawful, it's a deep. The entire NFC East didn't have a team with a losing record. The Lions had a winning record and didn't make the playoffs.

Better teams get outplayed by inferior teams in the NFL on a weekly basis. Newsflash, that's the parity of the league. The bottom line is results and the Cowboys had 12 wins to 5 losses.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

The Niners have more talent overall. Having said that, as @tyke1doe and I discussed last night, pro football is about passing efficiently and defending the pass. The Cowboys have the better quarterback and a slightly superior pass defense.

You're talking as if Niners fans and the media for that matter won't be using the 49ers game against Seattle as a measuring stick.

 

[Pass2Run]

Teams are pretty even.

Will come down to game planning and execution, IMHO.

No, it's gawd awful. It's not deep. Every team in the NFC is severely flawed, and if the 49ers had a proven quarterback, they'd walk through it like butter.

Kansas City is eons better than any team in the NFC. Buffalo was, but they're getting banged up. Cincinnati is on the verge if they play the offseason correctly.

You're saying this as if the 49ers didn't get some of their wins against the Raiders, Cardinals and the Rams. Also the Cowboys and the Eagles played mostly the same schedule with the exception of a few teams difference.

No, 9ers beat Hawks 3 times this season, swept the NFCW.

Division games are always tough.

Cowboys beat the Giants twice, if you want to use playoff division opponents as a measuring stick.

Lol maybe you should actually look at the other teams schedules before making such proclamations. I noticed you left off the Eagles too. Noice.

Tell me all about how difficult the 9ers schedule was, and the Eagles lol. I dont even know KC or Buffalo's schedule, but I gave you the receipts last time around. We had nowhere near an "easy" schedule, let one the "historically easy" schedule you went on about.

yeah, that last game of the season. totally meaningless game....

and in the last 6 games, the niners have played #21, #28, #4, #26, #10, #18 defenses....two good and the rest meh. we just shreded tampa (#10) like SF did. and like I said, nobody in dallas cared about the washington game. the coaches didn't even game plan.

now, with that said, SF is a good team. I am not trashing them. great coach. great running game. SF had the 32nd hardest schedule in the NFL. meaning the easiest. where they played two teams with a winning record and went 1-1. Dallas on the other hand went 6-3 against teams with a winning record. they are battle tested.

regardless. its playoffs. both teams won. its going to be a good match up and a great game. Key to SF offense is their running game. if Dallas can control that and force Purdy to beat them, then I like Dallas odds. if SF can run the ball effectively, then they can control the defense.

on the other side, despite the pass rush and great DL, the SF pass defense was ranked 21st. so they are vunerable in the secondary. the pass rush has been average.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Lots

me too

 

[stuckindc]

The 49ers are a tough-nosed, physical football team. That goes for both sides of the ball, down to their receivers.

Living in the Bay Area I see a lot of their games.

They are legit.

Plus great coaches and play calling. Both sides of the ball
