It doesn't seem entirely fair that the winner of the Cowboys/Bucs, who play on Monday Night, will go against the #49ers who played early on Saturday and gained 2+ extra days rest with more time to prepare.

It's a competitive disadvantage. This is the playoffs, not regular season

Why doesn't he mention that the Bucs and Cowboys had 8 days to prepare for each other and the Niners only had 6 days to prepare for the Seahawks

Don't curr... Niners good enough to beat either one. Let's go!

I love seeing crying Cowboys fans-- early, late, or on time.

As a counterpoint, it was not fair that the Niners got a short week going into the playoffs.

It's not fair that the 2 seed doesn't get a bye anymore and has to play WC weekend against an undeserving team.

Yes, and i'm still bitter about 1971-1972 when I learned to hate, er, thoroughly dislike the Cowboys....lol

I hope we get them for all stated and I'm soooo tired of the biased media chewing on their jock. Three games played yesterday and all they are talking about this morning is the F'ing Cowboys. So sick of it. Seriously. I hope Bosa shows who is the DPOY to Parsons as well.

Agreed. Let's go Cowboys!
that was weird to type

I just don't want to give the Cowboys and their fans any more hole than necessary. Anytime they get a win in the playoffs, the media is all over their nuts like it's the next dynasty in the making.

I hope Brady puts them out of their misery, then we can send Tom back into retirement again next week…

Basically we have 7 days off to prepare for the winner of Bucs/Cowboys while they will only have 4 days. I'm not counting Saturday due to travel.

This could be an epic revenge tour. Knock off Seattle, then Dallas, then NYG, and cap it off with a win against KC in the Super Bowl. Let's check all those boxes!

I'm down for that. New age rival (SEA), two old school rivals (DAL, NYG). Then revenge.

this is tough because we already beat the Bucs and you know Brady wants to beat us bad, but also the Cowboys are still upset about last year so they are going to talk big time trash, and it will be absolutely miserable to hear them gloat if they win.

That said, I'd rather us play the Bucs just in case the 9ers lose but I would love to see us beat the cowboys again.

That's some loser mentality stuff right there

not scared of either team. Cowboys are SOFT and the Bucs have been mediocre all season
