The two Dak interceptions certainly could have cost us the game, but the loss of Tony Pollard was the nail in the coffin, because without him, we just simply weren’t going to move the ball. With Pollard still in the game I think we would have won.

We would have had a chance. The offense died when he left the field. We had nobody else but Lamb and the 49ers knew it.

Dallas was the better team until Pollard went out.

Hard to say what would have happened with him still in it, but we just became one dimensional without him.

actually, what the difference was between the two teams was the physicality. we are a finesse team, weren't physical enough across neither lines. their defense man handled our offense and our OL. not dismissing the bad interceptions. we should be way more cautious than that. there are times that i think we need to be aggressive and take shots and risk, but this game wasn't one of them. you throw the ball away.

Diggs is the softest player I have ever seen. I don't think we should resign him. he had two opportunities, two great opportunities and he whiffed on both.

If Brock Purdy is your Qb when you become one dimensional it’s one thing but when you have 7 year vet making 160Million Dollars you expect him to not cost you the game with 2 picks

Just heard he has a high ankle sprain and a broken leg and will need surgery. Have to wonder if that changes signing him to a long term contract. I can see the tag coming.

It does not matter when you pay the quarterback 40+ million a season. Dak is expected to beat Mr. Irrelevant. Nobody cares that the 49ers have the better roster. Dak has to win Super Bowls. That is the expectation. So no matter that Dak had to beat the GOAT on the road, The 49ers on the road and the hated Eagles on the road. I don’t think Mahomes or Burrow could get through that gauntlet. The Cowboys have to load up in free agency and get that bye. That is the only chance Cowboys have.

They never tried to get a spark from Davis. Moore called that ridiculous RPO that was immediately blown up as his only chance at getting the ball.

That tackle where the defender hangs down the back of the legs of a ball carrier is the same effect as a horse collar.

Pollard hurt but when he was healthy Dak and the O weren’t exactly lighting it up either.

It's unbelievable the similarty of this game with last year, we end up loosing one of our playmakers to injury, making his future with the team a question mark, and finish the game with a ridiculous stupid play trying to beat the clock. You can't make this **** up.

Three month recovery. That time these guys really aren’t doing much of anything.

100% recovery and will be fine

If Dak played well and we lost a good close game, that would be one thing. The Cowboys beat themselves. 2 interceptions and a missed extra point. Can't beat good teams playing like that. Maher didn't even have a chance to fix his problems cause the Cowboys only scored 1 TD.

We didn’t just lose our best playmaker … it was a clear dirty hit and he knew what he was doing.

Don’t overthink the final play. There aren’t any plays to go 80+ yards
