With all of this praise the media has been heaping on them, I wonder why they'll even play the game?
The players that were on the team last meeting remember all too well how they talked before showing up and tried to intimidate them. They also remember they had the chance to win that game and the end of it was a Keystone Cops act. Coaching and players let themselves down.
I bet if you polled those coaches and players, they wouldn't have another team at the top of their list that they want to meet again more than the 49ers. This isn't just a game, it is a reckoning.
That last road playoff game the Cowboys won that McC showed the team the ten players alive at that time was more than just motivation to shut out the voices, it was a foretelling of the near future. That game would be the ghost from the past.
What happened last night changed everything. The 49ers players were watching that spanking and telling each other and themselves "that's not us, that's not our OL or DL or secondary or run game" and they are right. But, that is not the same Cowboys team they met on the field in Arlington a year ago either.
The confidence that Bucs game gave the QB, OL and offense and the entire defense could not have come at a better time in the season. That WAS game is a distant or forgotten memory and this team is as playoff ready as a Cowboys team has been in 25 years.
This Cowboys team is every bit as balanced as the 49ers and coming to town with a chip on their shoulder. And they'll leave the 49ers with their shoulders slumping.
Can't say what happens in the NFCCG but this divisional game against the 49ers is the Cowboys season, they are going to San Francisco to hand out a butt whooping and an overdue payback and it won't be pretty or Purdy.
This isn't just some football game, this is the Cowboys-49ers and this team is going to do what that team did in 93 when they played there.
