How good are the 49ers?

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.

Some of the teams the 49ers beat included, The Rams twice, The Cardinals twice, The Saints, Panthers, Commanders and Raiders. Not saying that the Niners aren't good because they clearly are. But it's inaccurate to act like the 49ers played a juggernaut schedule all season compared to the one the Cowboys played.

Like many before it, and many after it, this game will be won or lost at the line of scrimmage. In last year's playoffs, the Cowboys lost badly on both lines. To have any chance, they have to play better up front on both sides of the ball.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

The biggest X Factor is their QB. Does he have that rookie type of performance or continue to shine against our defense?

I agree but IMO Shanahan's play calling and designs don't ask him to do much. But as mentioned, the key is stopping the run

I think SF has a very good team, with Purdy reminding me of 2016 Dak. Deebo and McCaffery are a solid duo, their defense is good, and they Kittle is a beast.

If both teams play their very best games (unlikely), I think we lose because SF has, imo, a better roster. I think we have more than a puncher's chance, though. As usual, some key turnovers in our favor would be nice, and I hope the game doesn't come down to us trying to kick a FG as time expires to win, as I have no confidence in Mahrer.

Go Cowboys!

They're excellent if they can simply get their talented play-makers the ball quickly and then let them YAC it up.

I'd like to see SOME team take away the short stuff, and force them to make plays down the field.

That said,... I've only watched a handful of complete 9ers games,....so 75% of my opinion is based on highlights

I’m expecting an all out war this Sunday. The winner will have earned it.

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.

Last game meaningless? C'mon, then why did starters even play? Seriously who you trying to kid.

They played who was on their schedule, same as every other NFL team including the Cowboys and Eagles

This was directed more at erod who acted like the Cowboys played a much more easier schedule than the 49ers played, which really isn't true.

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

Last year, MM let Moore sink or swim on his own. This year, and if I can tell, most should be able to tell, Mike has his hands all over this offense. Yesterday didn't look like a 100% Moore offense to me. Mike felt his Job on the line this year and it shows. The way he's managed injures and keeping the boys attention is Mike. Now defensively, we've lost some players, but Kudos to Mike and Quinn and to (this hurts to say) Jerry Jones for getting replacements and scheming around our injuries. We are really really going to need our safeties and Corners (You too Diggs) to man up this week because

Yeah he's been full of crap about the schedule for a while now. I just wanted to see if he was capable of changing his opinion as contradictory information piles up.

Stop spitting facts at him. He came here to be told how awesome his team is and how Dallas has no chance. Get with the agenda.

ask the coaches. I am not sure. but that last game if you watched the coaches didn't have a game plan, every part of the team played bad, including dropped punts, fumbles and what not.

but if that makes you feel better, then include it in your assessment.

I think both of these teams are evenly matched. SF has advantage playing at home. Dallas traveling for 4th week in a row. that's got to be tough. the NFL officials also didn't do Dallas any favors, allowing SF to play on saturday and then cowboys on Monday. regardless of the winner of the monday game, SF got a 2 day rest.

games will be played. one team will come. debates on this board are meaningless to the outcome, but for the fans.

well, he is a fan. he is boasting. for now he has the right. like I told him, our arguments here are irrelevant to the outcome of the game.

What good defense has the rookie QB Purdy faced? Although a really nice story I think he's in over his head.

Quinn licking his chops.

 

[Steve007]

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

Their pass rush will be the key. If they get pressure on Dak it won't be good.

SF will run the ball. The cowboys will have problems stopping them.

 

[Steve007]

I expect it to happen again. the only difference is if Dak comes to play. he has become a top tear qb. Go 49niners!

I have seen the movie before. Dak looked great against the bucs with a poor defense, but Dak is inconsistent.

Pregame, the 49ers are overrated and getting too much hype.

Post game, the 49ers are one of the greatest teams in NFL history.
