The Cowboys should be buoyed by their showing last week and hopefully be ready for a tough matchup. I'm sure both teams know what to expect. Dallas should be prepared to assert themselves, despite being rewarded with little time to recover from their bumps and bruises from that game. Dak managed to be aggressive in that contest, minus some of the hesitations that bugged him in some of his previously poor outings. Perhaps a renewed mindset would enable him to assert himself to advantage. The Dallas defense will attempt to expose some sort of hidden weakness that Purdy has been fortunate enough to avoid, as yet. Let's hope there'll be ways to succeed in implementing such a tough task. We'll see about that. Godspeed.

And it’s not a big surprise as @Ranching will attest to. It’s all going to come down to our offensive line vs their defensive line and their offensive line vs our defensive line. This is a man vs man game. It’s all going to depend on the trenches. Can the offensive talent of the 49’ers overcome the Cowboys defense? Or can the offensive talent of the Cowboys overcome the 49’ers defense? I expect a close game. Turnovers are going to be key. Coaching is going to be key. It’s going to be a chess match. Don’t expect a TD on the first Cowboys drive. They’re going to come out shutting down our running game. But hence the chess game. The Cowboys OC and DC are the keys to this game. How well they have game planed for the 49’ers. Cowboys have their weaknesses. Ok, game plan around them. 49’ers have their weaknesses, ok plan to take advantage of them. Which ever team is able to take advantage will win this game.
1 key

do not give them the game with mistakes and unforced errors..get the yards and points you are supped to , limit penaltys and TOs, we win.

Granted this is not going to be any cakewalk but Micah Parsons is not recovering from COVID and should be at full strength.

I also think it's important that we got rid of the knuckleheads that really didn't want to be here Gregory Collins Cooper and they've been replaced with guys that do want to be here and will give 100%


We need to play a game similar to the way we played at Tampa as far as penalties and turnovers are concerned we can't have them.


But I'm going on record as saying the most important thing is we can't go three and out and throw our defense back on the field constantly which means in a nutshell Dak is going to have to run a good bit to make sure the change move.

I think we have a great opportunity to beat these guys and move on.

That said our kicker could absolutely destroy everyone's best efforts by missing a chip shot in crunch time. Let's hope he has exercised all his demons and his laser focused for this week.
In the playoffs, it’s more about the Will than the Skill. “Michael Irvin”.

The overwhelming majority of NFL playoff games are determined by turnover differential.

The analytics dont lie, if you want to win playoff games dont turn the ball over.
Turnover differential followed by passer rating differential, which is one of the many reasons last year’s game was frustrating. Turnovers were even, and Dak had a slightly higher passer rating.

Stop/limit outside zone runs
Man up outside and pressure Purdy
Run Pollard more than Zeke
Take deep shots on Play Action on a few attempts
Limit turnovers and penalties
Hit our XP’s - lol.

Those are the keys to winning any game.

Exactly, very simple really. The team that dominates or at least controls the LOS on both sides of the ball will win this game.

It's going to come down to a few plays, those plays can happen at any time during the game. Make sure those plays go your way.
