Sometimes there’s just teams we don’t matchup well against. Their strengths expose our weaknesses. I’m not sure any other team in NFC imposes as many mis matchups than SF.
Any fan who separate their emotions to analyze which make up these matchups are more apt to see it more clearly.
The good news is despite these factors we were able to still play a competitive game and it came down to a one possession or one score game.
So , in the end we can dissect a few key plays and possessions which ultimately determined the outcome instead of total dominance.
And as poorly as our QB performed and offense produced we still had a shot to win. But it’s these matchups which led to our poor performances not just certain players stinking it up. Opponents often deserve as much credit as our teams deserves blame.
It's also about a myriad of other factors.
SF was playing at home off extra rest while Dallas travelled from one coast to the other on a short week.
SF being more physically dominant in the 2nd half wasn't exactly surprising.
Anyone who has ever done any real NFL gambling will tell you avoid teams that travel 2 or more time zones between games.
In the end SF was a better team and we lost, end of story.
But there are tons of factors beyond simply match ups.
SF's guys made the big plays when it mattered. Dallas' did not.
