Dal played us a pretty even game, and barring those 2 INTs, who knows who would have won. As for playcalling, kyle just seemed to be AOL until 2nd half, but maybe the DAL DL was the cause. 2nd half, once again, Kyle came alive and called a great game. He actually had a pass to #i85 in the next to last DAL drive, and Kittle caught it for a 1st down. That officially broke DAL back. But kyle risked a pass when he was trying to eat clock, so good on him. Last yr, he shied away from a risk like that. Also, either the DAL: DL was spectacular the first half or kyle didn't call many …if any…good run blocking plays. In 2nd half we saw quite a few. Was that kyle or was it the DaL DL? Probably both.
To even come close to beating PHilly, we have to play better , KS has to call a great game both halves, and Brock has to be focused both halves. We had better personnel and better coaching than DAL and they still almost won. We gotta do better than that in Philly or we don't win. Worse, we are playing a running QB, who we usually play poorly against.
The true turning point was Dak's 2nd INT. We were tied 6-6. They were driving to end the half. Then they got the ball to start the second half. I recall saying to my wife the Niners were in SERIOUS trouble. Dallas had a FG in the bag, if not a TD. Then they get the ball back. The feel of the game was very different. Then bam! Fred gets that tipped INT. That swung everything in our favor. We actually go into the half up 9-6. I thought that was incredible!
We cannot rely on crazy INTs against Philly. We need to jump on them and maintain the lead. No tight situations. Easier said than done
