I was expecting cowboys to be very humble and quiet coming into this game but man! They're something else

You were expecting that?!

He doesn't seem to like contact a whole lot. I'd make a point of running the football right at him and running over/knocking him down at every opportunity.

why do they say they want us?

They really mean that they would like to be like us.

Scanned through a few Cowboys games and the thing that is most glaring about their defense is that Diggs is absolutely allergic to tackling. He doesn't just use bad form, he makes very little effort at it. Worse than Deion effort when it comes to tackling. CJ Henderson levels of effort in tackling. He's their best cover guy but by far their worst at tackling.

Get that guy one on one with McCaffrey or Deebo with the ball in the open field and its lights out.

Really glad others on this board are seeing this now. He HATES contact. A few screens, chips, or hard blocks from Trent, Juice, Kittle, etc will make him back off and be less aggressive.

Aaaaand the line just moved from Niners -3.5 to -4

Just read Fred Warner say Shanny called out the defense by saying Cowboys d playing better than them. Lol

mind games through the roof, gotta love it!

he should because they have been playing like ass on a few series.

Was Coach Shany on the floor like Coach Walsh was when talking about Miami Dolphins? That's the first thing that went to my head. Shany should be talking about Micah Parsons non stop to trigger Big bad Bosa

He can definitely issue a challenge. They are 2 and think they are 1. 49ers can remove all doubt.

And he isn't lying. Our D has taken a step back the last few weeks while our O has stepped up. Started with the Raiders game. They need a fire lit.

They gave up 20, 13, and 17 (final 6 waa garbage time) outside of the Raiders game.

We are gonna run and hit them deep when they cheat.

This soft ass team doesn't want it

Interesting parallels I've noticed:

- LAC (late road game vs. DEN in week 18 followed by a Saturday road game in JAX - short rest, long flights) - came out hot but fell apart
- LAR in 2021 (MNF in wildcard vs. AZ, then played Sunday in TB - short rest, long flights) - came out hot but fell apart, lucky to connect with Kupp or that would have been a collapse too

This is the situation DAL is in this week. So if the pattern continues, they'd score and be up big, but then lose steam and eventually cave (or have a heroic save at the end).

Kellen Moore looks like a Hardly Boy from South Park 😂

Should be Niners -8 can anyone explain this? Home field is worth 3. The current line means we are a toss up vs DAL or a 1 pt favorite at a neutral site. That's BS

This reminded me of the Cowboys kicker.

Also speaks to the type of road team they are.
