Offense cannot sputter

[Coogiguy03]

Now Kellen can use all those plays he's been holding back.

We saw them all against Philly, nothing left

No biggie. Am I asking to much.. Lol.

Just messing with ya. I hope you (and all of us) get exactly what you're hoping for.

I worry that the 49ers can do what teams need to do to beat us.

They can stop the run and force Dak to beat you.

We are 0-5 this year when we don't have at least 100 rushing yards.

Their defense gives up 107 rushing yards per game, I believe that’s what I read. They have a good front, but I wouldn’t say they “stop the run“.

We don’t have to beat them with our run game. It just needs to be somewhat effective to keep their defense honest which then opens up the passing game.

The one team I didn't want the Cowboys to face in the first round..

That’s odd! I don’t recall ever seeing a single post of anybody stating this, ever! But it’s all of a sudden becoming a popular opinion.

It’s become a weekly thing at this point. Every team we play is “great at this or great at that“ or is a “bad matchup“, yet we finished the season 12-5

The Cowboys offense was held to less than 20 points only twice this season, the fewest in the NFL. Not surprisingly, they lost both games.

In three of their five losses they allowed 30 or more points.

Rams had a 17-3 halftime lead, at home, and the Niners came back.

Neither the offense nor the defense can afford to "sputter" in the playoffs.

SHHH Jake its all about Dak!!! lol..for real though watching the Rams cough that up was ridiculous. McVay should be getting roasted, I swear they tried to force the ball to OBJ the whole 4th when Kupp was slaying the Niners.

said it yesterday during the live game thread, didn't think they'd even get in but a team they went 7-2 down the wire, got help from other teams and beating the rams twice, Cardinals, they're getting healthy and is a dangerous team who matches up well against the Cowboys because they're a tough team can run the ball, stop the run that can pressure the QB...nobody thought SF was going to get in..

The biggest concern with this game is stopping the 49ers running attack. They can wear you down and we’ve had some issues against the run. We got manhandled Saturday night by Philly’s backups upfront. They gashed us several times. The last time the Cowboys lost a playoff game they couldn’t stop the run against the Rams. Our offense has to be sharp but the defense better show up. If they’re more physical than us upfront we’re going to be in trouble and we can’t be missing tackles like we did on Saturday night.

It will allow them to dictate the tone of the game

we need to score and be efficient. It’s going to be a good game but if we leave our defense on the field for a long time, it’s going to be a long day

this is the playoffs. they have a good defense. they didn't get here by being an easy team to beat. its a 4 quarter effort. usually in games like this, they win some battles. we win some battles. the question is do we win enough battles and can string enough plays to get some scores.....

run defense is key in this game.

Pollard and Zeke will combine for at least 120, don’t worry.
