...good defenses can make way of situations. Last year, Dallas did good job with McCaf. This year, I feel we're better as defense group.
..interesting points. ITs going to be one of those games of inches. Where penalties, turnovers and lucky breaks will make the advantages.
I don't go into it with real high expectations, but I haven't built up real high expectations for a while now. The 49ers are a tough team, and I agree that some of the things they do well are a challenge for us. I think it will be tough to keep them from scoring at least 20 and at this point, I don't know if our offense can score 20 against them without help from the defense. I am interested in seeing what McCarthy might do differently than what we saw on offense against them the last two years, and how effective that will be.
or sarcasm? pointing out flawed logic others use for emphasis?
Right and we are on the road so good luck lol. It's a measuring stick to see where we are right now for sure.
I do think Parsons was worn down by the time we reached the playoffs. I hope he's not dinged up enough right now to take away from his effectiveness. I don't think our secondary is better without Diggs, but Diggs didn't have his best game against San Fran in the playoffs last year, either. My hope, though, does lie primarily with the defense.
Yeah amazing how he considers that mental gymnastics lol.
It was supposed to be. I was merely trying to emphasize that it's silly to say Dallas has no chance against the 49ers next week.
How do you know? We haven’t played them yet McFly.
pretty sure he's got a restraining order against reading comprehension
Well what does all this even matter?
Luckily, it's only right now (or if we drub them maybe unluckily). It's only the fifth game of the season. Both teams will probably look a little different if we meet again in the playoffs. It does give us a good gauge of where we are right now, though.
Oh we will. No one should be peaking right now. Hell maybe the 49ers are? Who knows. But I'll assume we will all be peaking by the end of the season.
Fortunately, I think everyone but us is better than Arizona, so we thankfully won't have to play them again. We've got everyone else beat, though.
That's what Cowboys fandom has come to.
I agree....but will add "....in the playoffs"
It’s been many years since I’ve gone into a season with high expectations. We simply don’t match up well against the 49ers. Their style of play has been a real problem for us. I’m sure they’re feeling very confident heading into this game with the success they’ve had against us. The Cowboys haven’t won a game this season where they didn’t have either multiple takeaways or some defensive scores. In the games they’ve won everything has gone their way. In the game they lost no takeaways or defensive scores. It’s not going out on a limb to say we’re going to need some breaks on Sunday night against San Francisco. We’ve reached the part of the schedule we’re going to start finding out what kind of team the Cowboys really have. If we don’t beat San Francisco on Sunday night, I don’t believe we’ll beat them in the playoffs if we face them. We need to build some confidence against them or they’re going to continue getting the better of us.
I knew when I titled the thread the way that I did that that would happen. Some don't actually read the first post. They just react to the thread title.
