SF 49ERS vs Cowboys Pregame thread - 2022 Season Divisional Round

From my perspective, we have the better coaching staff, RB's (I include Juice in this), TE, WR's, DL, S. They have better CB's. I think each team has a strong Oline and LB's. I think their QB has more experience, but ours has been playing much better over the last 6 starts. The 49ers are coming into this game with the #1 rated offense and defense right now, not on the season but to end it.

I really don't get why Cowboys fans would be feeling confident. I know they just beat up the Bucs in big fashion but Brock did that in his first start completing 76% and earning a rating of 134, and a QBR of 92.9 compared to journeyman Dak Prescott who completed 75% earning a rating of 143 and a QBR of 96.5 with the biggest difference being Dak's game was away while Brocks was at home and the Bucs were more injured against the Cowboys than they were against the 49ers.

Duh. Because they beat the Bucs therefore they are automatically SB favorites. Wake up !

i'm glad their letting us know what they plan on bringing hahah

Or, he wants the 49ers to think that so they use Warner as a spy thus opening up the middle of the field for their TE to do some damage.

The one "long" run I saw Dak have vs the Bucs was on 3rd down, when they were playing man. You can't really do that vs a QB that has any ability to run imo.

Wow, I can't believe jerry went out in public to say that. Does he normally talk up his team like that week to week?

As they say "actions speak louder than words" and for him to talk like that can be a sign of insecurity, which makes sense considering who his team is facing.

This could be the kiss of death for the cowboys because this is FOR SURE going to be bulletin board material.

The players don't give a crap about any of what's said in the media. No one is using it as extra motivation. If any of the Niners players need something extra to get them motivated for a do or die divisional playoff game then they're in the wrong profession. These are world class athletes who train year round to be the best of the best. Jerry Jones saying he thinks their team can win isn't going to cause anyone to study film any harder.

For those that are interested in picks. 83% of the consensus thus far 49ers over Cowboys.

I'd like that a lot more if I didn't see 78% picking Buffalo.

If teams were playing with equal rest on a neutral field, the Niners would probably be favored by 1. Might even be a pick'em game. But the fact that this is their fourth road game (ours was LAR last year - @LAR, @DAL, @GB, and then @LAR) on short rest gives us possibly another point or two. Now add the homefield advantage and that our team hasn't traveled in 3 weeks, gives us another 4 points.

All said and done, the line should be -5, -5.5, or -6. I think the line is pro-Niners right now.

With all the buzz about resale/secondary market ticket pricing, I hope we don't see a huge cowboy fan presence like we did in 2016 and 2017

2016 and 2017, some great Blane Gabbert QB'ing definitely a big draw for us

I hate being the favorite. Absolutely hate it

were you a fan in the 80s and 90s.. that was like the entire 2 decades basically.. it was great

After publicly stating that they would be going with Maher at kicker, the Cowboys have signed Tristan Vissumthin to their practice squad. Hope it doesn't mess with his confidence 😂
