I am willing to bet a red penny at least 3 of the issues will cost us in the post-season. What 3, I'm not sure but let's be honest, at this point in the season, we are who we are. I'm not sure we suddenly clean these issues up. Think the best we hope is to minimize the damage/impact.
Perfect post!!!!!

We've been dealing with that stuff all season. I'd be happy if we could get that pass rush back. That's it. That alone would make a big difference.
Be honest we get to the QB at times but we get their LESS than the amount of times teams run against us, our run defense must be of more importance

In no particular order:

-Dak's interceptions. Yes, some aren't his fault, but he is consistently turning over the football. Against good teams, this will hurt them.
-Rushing offense. Ever since Steele went down, so did our rushing offense. Last 2 weeks, against quality opponents they couldn't run the football at all.
-Lack of explosiveness at the WR position. Our passing offense is pretty much Lamb & Shultz. Both Brown/Gallup really have struggled with separation, it's not a coincidence that many of Dak's interceptions are to these 2 receivers. Tight window type of throws. Hilton needs to become that other receiver to help out Lamb.
-Run Defense. With Lve and Hankins returning, it should help, but this has been an issue throughout the entire season. Remember, TB gashed them on opening night, where they are the worst rushing team in the entire league. What about Philly and the 49ers?
-Lack of pass rush. What has happed to our dominate pass rush? Parsons hasn't made an impact in weeks. What about Fowler, Armstrong? Seems like Sam Williams is the only one getting consistent pressure these days.
-Corner opposite Diggs, probably the biggest worry of them all! Good teams will scheme ways to get a corner in signal coverage, like we used to see Roy Williams the safety. Can any of our backup corners hold up?
I have a couple as well.
Dak’s interceptions, our defense can’t stop anyone. And our offensive line is no good. Doesn’t look promising

There's always reasons for a loss. If the Cowboys (offense, defense, and ST's) play above average, they can beat anyone in the playoffs. No team is without their weaknesses. Start fast, keep running, and never admire your work, until it's done.

It's all about winning up front. The team that wins in the trenches will prevail.

Stop with the head coaching. That doesn’t even make the list
Yeah, when talent levels are so extremely close and the importance of one play possibly deciding a game, especially a playoff game, I could see how head coaching decisions on game day would have no impact. Just like McCarthy's coaching in last year's playoff game had no impact. Got it.
I guess opinions will vary then.

Well, for me personally, I hope the same coached team from last year's 49ers game doesn't show up in Tampa.
Not that head coaching matters or anything.
