Yesterday showed we are likely to lose to 49ers again

The 49ers can run the ball very well and watching the Cardinals run rough-shot over the Cowboys doesn't give me much hope when we face in two weeks.

 

[Carson]

Beat New England
Lose to SF
Beat Chargers (Mike Williams torn ACL so we may win this).

That puts you 4-2 at the Bye.

Likely?
If they play like they did last night CMC will run for 300+ yards

The only thing yesterday showed is that we came into that game unmotivated and unfocused. That was a hell of a wake up call that could have been avoided. We are not invincible, and yesterday we weren't even formidable. Everyone involved should be ashamed of the effort we displayed Sunday. This is not the time for us to panic or hang our heads, this is the time to get back to work.

damn! Let's go Cowboys!!

If you're going to use yesterday as the benchmark it showed we are likely not winning again this season.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Yesterday means absolutely nothing for the 9ers game

mike mccarthy 6d chess wearing out CMC by letting him run for over 500 yards in the 1st quarter so hes worn out by the time we face them in the playoffs.

Trust the process fellas

Arizona used a similar approach to what SF does and it worked perfectly.The Cowboys defense is built on rushing the passer, which also leads to forced turnovers. The 49ers offense isn't a dropback and throw 40+ times system - instead, they run the ball a lot and then take their shots downfield. This allowed them to control the Line of Scrimmage and protect the ball. If the Cowboys can't get turnovers, they are in trouble.

Defensively, they shut down anything downfield and played a Bend But Don't Break style knowing that the Cowboys offense couldn't get into the endzone, same thing as what SF did in both playoff games.
