So technically, that was the 2nd best opponent in the NFC?

Is anyone afraid of an NFC team other than San Francisco?

Philly is imploding.
Detroit's coach is stubborn and dumb. Goff is Goff.
Rams and Bucs are hot now so remains to be seen but we manhandled LA when we played them.

Cowboys biggest opposition in the NFC is themselves. Stupid penalties, whining about refs instead of sucking it up, time management, etc..

And whether we are #2 or #5, with Rams/Bucs/Seattle being hotter than teams above them, great chance we go all the way to NFC Championship not having to face SF until that game.

SF is a massive hurdle for this team if we play them. Really a massive hurdle for any NFC team
We beat the Eagles soundly.
We just beat Detroit playing some of our dumbest ball.
We beat LA and Seattle, two of the hottest teams in NFC.
We showed that Tampa Bay is no problem last year.
We don't have to worry about any of these strong AFC teams in our rounds.

I'm feeling pretty darn optimistic about the Tourney. :thumbup:

Just need to get over that Niners hump.

And... (puts tin foil hat back on)... the Curse is gone!

SF has Dallas number

but Dallas is the second best team right now in the NFC and 3rd best team in the league

two double digit win teams went at it and dallas came out on top

I feel good after this game. Huge confidence boost, even if they didn't play their best game. The Lions and Dolphins have really tremendous running games, and we shut them down more or less. We've now beat two of the top 3 teams in the NFC not named Dallas. The first run at SF it felt like we were playing in quicksand. Nothing went right. I like our chances much more if we play them again. Never-ending the doom and gloom. Let's enjoy this!

Cowboys imo can beat any team in the nfc besides San Fran. Not that there’s zero chance niners can be beaten but they imo are on another tier than us. Outside of San Fran I’m not sure how many other teams in the league the cowboys just aren’t close to or at the same level.

We had a Buffalo stinker and I think by the end of it they’ll be in the thick of things but the cowboys are a really good team maybe a little shy of elite championship caliber but within striking distance to do some damage and Baltimore as well is another team that’s on that or close to the San Fran level that may be a notch above us.

It doesn’t matter, Dallas can lose to anyone. We never know which team will show up. This game tonight shouldn’t have been close.

Baker and the Rams are playing really well right now. Remember Tampa has made the most playoffs multiple years now they just have a new QB that is playing the best ball
Of his career

They are a bad match up for us...we can't stop their running game which gives Purdy an easier passing game and our inability to get the running game going allows them to tee off on Dak.

Not afraid of any team, not even SF.
I am afraid the stupid team will play when it counts the most in any playoff game.

If this team eliminates the penalties and stupid mistakes. They can beat any team, including SF.

Both Seattle and LA will give us problems, but we are the better team. Tell you the truth any team can lose in a 1 game playoff except the 49ers who remain the clear favorite. Having the 5th seed might be an easier path, especially if an upset takes place.
