Anyone think that maybe Eddie D will show up for this game? I wish he would come around to stuff like this.

send him in the locker room to get everyone fired up before the game!

He better show up!!! We need someone to pay off the refs so they can call holding on Dallas.

Tampa did and got burnt to a crisp

We've got way too many weapons on the line/backfield on every play. If Big Cock does his thing again, Dallas will get the ball run up and down the field on them. His processor is too fast

I do. I'm sure Kyle does as well and will have a plan installed to account for that.

That's because he knows how bad they're about to burn em.

Given the slow start of the defense recently, I expect this game to be fairly close in the first half. Dallas might even go into halftime with a lead, perhaps 20-17?

However, I expect to see a final score of 45-27, 49ers.

Those PA bootlegs might not work this time, Dallas will crash off the edge.

I want to see a lot of runs between Deebo, CMC, Mitchell, and Mason.

Then Purdy can fake handoff and take some shots to Kittle and Aiyuk, maybe even McCloud.

Key to success in this one will be running the ball and AT Michah Parsons.

That kid is super talented but Tampa Bay played right into Dallas' hands, hell they barely blocked the guy a few times.

I don't understand why Dallas was still playing their starters late in the 4th quarter up by several TDs but I hope it bites them in the ass. Short week of rest for them...let's remind them that we know how to push teams around.

On defense the DL absolutely has to have a dominant game. Prescott looked way too comfortable last night and we need our DL to make that clock speed up for Dak. Dallas OL played very well so our guys simply have to be better. Gotta win with 4 guys.

Let's get this W and remind Dallas fans why looking to play us is a mistake.

Why would he pay off a divisional game and not the last two Super bowls?

one thing that stood out last nite was the run blocking for DAL. It was student body L and student body R...really. Compared to our intricate blocking schemes that kyle turns out, it is like high school football vs the best in the NFL. If a Pollard got blocking it was just in the initial LOS . i didn't see much , if any blocking at the 2ndary level, or as we have seen in Kittle and Deebo's TD runs, where we have OLs downfield with our ball carrier. Just didn't see that at all with DAL.

ESPN factoid: of the last 14 playoff games played, where one team gets more rest than the other, the team that has more time to rest between games, has won...all 14 of them. DAL has 4 days to prepare and we have 6...I didn't fact check, but believe that is pretty close to true.

Giving kyle an extra 2 days to prepare is like found money for us. No question Dak played his best game all year, but DAL just doesn't have anywhere near as much talent as we do, and sure doesn't have as good as OC/HC, DC as we do. Our OL is way better than theirs, and our DL is the same. We have all pros on DL, LB, and DB. We also have all pros on OL, TE, WR, and FB. At QB, DAL has the edge because of experience. But does anyone here really want Dak instead of Brock? Not I.

Cee Dee Lamb, Parsons, Pollard, both TEs, are all excellent players. Talentwise, and depth wise...we are a much better team, and better coached. Brock finally came down to earth first half of SEA game, but rebounded into STUD category in 2nd half. We should beat these guys, but i expect our DL to shake Dak, really kibash the run, and our ball catchers of Aiyuk, McCaf, Deebo, Kittle, JJ, au Jus...will be a bigger force than Cee Dee and their two TEs.

9ers 36 - DAL 21

I do. I'm sure Kyle does as well and will have a plan installed to account for that.

On passing downs, I think DAL is more likely going to come with exotic fronts and bring rushers from different angles while still only rushing with 4 (creeper blitzes). This will allow them to make it look like a blitz is coming, still drop 7 into coverage, while hoping to speed up Brock's timing because it looks like a blitz. I think blitzing outright will expose DAL to all the YAC that the 49ers can get. They'll probably mix it up, but I think blitzing the 49ers is playing with fire.

This looks like man presnap. Then it looks like a blitz postsnap. It's neither. The best way to combat this is to get into 3rd & 3 or less, and make 3rd downs run/pass neutral so a defense can't get creative like this.

Hi all, me and my buddy are coming in fromTexas I'm a die hard niner fan he's unfortunately cowboy fan.Sitting in section c114 row 1 unfortunately visitors side.But totally excited.

Grant Cohn is comparing Dak to Steve Young. Expect these types of takes all week lol.

There's good reason my next @UnderdogFantasy Film Room will be looking at the Dallas #Cowboys 5-sack W.

Dan Quinn bringing an AWESOME crossdog creeper with Tampa 2 behind it. Cool seeing the LBs communicate who is going first based off the center's slide:pic.twitter.com/AAXJGvzhdI
