Oddly, this game was confirmation for me that the Cowboys are right there

No they arent. Team got dominated in the trenches. Couldnt run the ball. Defense wore down and couldnt get off the field on 3rd downs. QB shrunk in biggest moments. HC mismanaged the clock. Ceiling is as it has been WC round. They will change a few things and next year will play out the same or worse.

It was inevitable that we would lose eventually and the Dak haters would blame Dak so go ahead and get it out. He didnt have a good game, but again, personally I didnt expect one against SF.

I give credit to the Niners. Great team and well coached.
Wait.

You expected our highly paid QB, who is the supposed leader of the team and one of our supposed best players to not play well tonight?

Read that a few times back and realize how insane that sounds.

The Cowboys are right there. Niners are just a little better. In a way I am proud of this team. They showed up today and for at least half of the game, we were the better team. It wasnt like last year where we got embarrassed. We lost, but unlike the gleeful homers I didnt expect us to win. Dak didnt have a great game by any stretch, but again, against the #1 defense on the road I didnt expect him to. Dak is NOT elite. Top 10 but not elite. I thought the defense played great, they just got tired in the 4th quarter. I thought the Oline had a great game.

This game was essentially over the moment Pollard went out. I was proud of the coaching staff. It ONLY took 4 years and one playoff game, but they finally figured out how much better Pollard is than Zeke. They started Pollard and were featuring him until he went down. Sadly we had to depend on the horrid Zeke and the first two drives out of the he basically had 2 yards and 5 touches with 2 dropped passes.

Without Pollard, I think its abundantly obvious that we simply dont have enough playmakers. If I am the Cowboys I find a way to resign Pollard and Shultz and I get out of the Gallup contract if at all possible without much penalty. I make WR a priority in the offseason along with another RB to go with Pollard.

ON the road, this was a game that would come down to a one or two mistake here and there and thats exactly what happened. 2 picks by Dak, which were NOT good throws at all. Even the tipped ball he shouldnt have thrown. But again, was he feeling pressed because we cant rely on our kicker? Who knows? Niners D had 3 chances for picks and they capitalized on two of them. Well done. Cowboys had two easy picks and dropped them both. It matters. If turpin goes to the outside on that kickoff return, he has a easy TD. A few little things here and there.

Cowboys are right there. Niners/Bengals in the SB. Bengals take it all.

No doubt the clowns will blame Dak, Moore, Cooper not being here, yada yada yada so lets hear it all.

This was a very good season and the Cowboys are heading in the right direction with a great young defense and are right there at the top of the NFL in that handful of 6 or so teams that are true contenders.
its because of fools like you that we keep lingering.
there is no right direction you fool

I just gotta say: It is funny how people can watch the same game and see completely different things... I don't think the cowboys are right there. The team is inconsistent, including its quarterback and lack the proper leadership to put a worthwhile effort in the playoffs. This team is sick and lacks the proper culture and leadership to win when it matters. The talent is not the problem in Dallas, but the attitude and heart required to win is just not here because there are no leaders.
If thats what you got over a blowout of the Bucs on the road and a hard fought close loss to the best team in the NFL, then that is your opinion.

They aren’t winning even if Pollard doesn’t get hurt.

Dak wasn’t good enough. It’s just that simple. Two picks, a couple of others that should have been picked. Missed open WRs. Pollard isn’t changing that.
At least Jerry alluded to the horrible turnovers from Dak in his interview. Finally.

This team isn’t right there. And next season, you won’t have the same DC. Dak is clearly not a top 10 Qb and got outplayed by a 7th round rookie who was smarter with the ball.
Yah we may lose both coordinators. But its an opportunity for Jerry to bring in some great talent at coaching. Problem is he sucks at that. This defense has lots of talent. Any great DC will have them rolling.

Purdy didnt do much at all. Didnt really have to. He threw two picks, we just dropped them.

That 49ers rookie QB had ton of weapons around him. What did Dak have other than CeeDee?

I'll wait...

This exactly.

We are right there....we need to take the right steps this offseason. Stop running into the 49ers in the playoffs would be nice too...lol

Yes, right there, where they were last year. Losing to the 49ers. Team with talent and no direction.
