Only concern is playing at our best in all 3 phases of the game. Can't be timid or playing not to lose. You go on the attack and you stay on attack for 4 qrts. You get the chance to put them away, you step on their neck. 49ers are a good team but I believe this team is also good and very capable of winning.

The Kicker for me as well. I think the Cowboys have cleaned things up from last year and will not jump out to 10 point deficit.

One think about Maher. I think it's those shorter kicks (XPs) where angles play much more of role that will get in his head. I find it hard to believe he can shake it off in 6 days and show up in the biggest game of his life with amnesia. Hope he pulls it off though I am very surprised he wasn't replaced.

Pollard and Zeke get no room to run. Dak holding the ball too long and getting sacked. CMC and deebo combining for 300 yards total offense.

Mine is our kicker getting the Yips. This game could definitely come down to a kick.

When has anything happened like we saw Monday Night? OMGerd as my wife would say.

Talk about something that places a dark cloud on an otherwise stellar team performance.

What an awful heartbreaking way we could lose this game. Just be our luck we finally have a team that could knock the championship game door down and be foiled by a Kicker.

And if we let him break our hearts . I say shame on us. We saw it coming after Monday.

I’d definitely activate our newly signed kicker . And if Mahrer misses his first kick, he’s done .
Dallas has to activate 2 kickers this game. If Maher misses the first kick, sit him. But if he's kicking ok in practice, and not kicking ok in games, it's not just the yips, it's the pressure of the game making him overthink it.

My main worry about this game, and only worry before Maher, was stopping the run. Make Purdy beat us. Something Dallas couldn't do in their last two playoff losses because we couldn't stop the run against the Rams or 49ers.

How SF is going to take losing to the Cowboys at home in the playoffs to end their season.

Well, not really. Screw'em.

I don't think there is any way they can go into this game with two Kickers, especially since the replacement K as inconsistent as Maher at his worst. That decision has to be made tomorrow. The Cowboys need to field an excellent STs Unit and need numbers in the Trenches at LB and in the Secondary.

I know SF has a very good team, on both sides of the ball. You could field half an all star team from their roster. Bosa, Deebo, CMC, Kittel, Warner, Hufanga, Williams etc...So my question is; who are you most afraid will be the biggest problem for Dallas on Sunday?

Their defense is good, but I think our offensive line can do a pretty good job against their front. Not sure how well we'll be able to run the ball but they should be able to get some yards and keep Dak clean, for the most part. So I think our offense will be able to move the ball and score, decently.

Their offense is dangerous and I have a feeling DQ and co. will scheme our best players to try and contain Kittle, Deebo and CMC as best they can. We can match up fairly well and so though I think those guys will make some plays for them, I don't think they'll be Cowboy killers, this game. It falls on our defense to stop their run game as best they can and pass rushers must get home fast enough to effect Purdy. Like I said I think we can do a decent job of that against their top guys, but they have some real depth that I think will be the difference in this game.

So IMO, the guy who scares me the most is Brandon Aiyuck. He is super fast and our CB depth is not good. I have a terrible feeling he's going to torch us for couple big plays/TDs.
Shanahan. He’s one of the best play callers in the NFL. Along with his weapons.

Kearse covering Kittle (or Deebo, or Aiyuk, or McCaffrey, or Mitchell) with a sub-par knee.

Bosa for me. He gave Smith and dak fits last year.

He needs to be neutralized or else our run will be shut down again and dak will be rattled again.

Dak can work these corners imo and if him and this offense get going it will change how they want to play and allow our defense to play how they want.

It’s not who but what. If they establish a run game and get a lead then it’s going to be a nightmare of a game.

I truly think if we build a lead then we can make that 7th round rookie QB look like a 7th round rookie QB.

Parsons has made guys like Joe Burrow completely fall apart. Purdy should be no different if the run game is slowed down.
think it going to be like last years game. if we do not score early it is going to be tough to win. i see a close loss or a double digit loss. the niners defense is a nightmare especially at home.

Our arch enemy the divisional round itself scares me

not the team just the round
you are right about that. the last five times the cowboys have been in the second round either it is a close game that the refs screw us over or the cowboys just get blown out. the vikings and rams games were just awful games the cowboys did not even show up. the other three loses the refs had a hand in the outcome. both packers games the refs had a hand in the cowboys losing.
