Wow, that was a surprise! I thought Cowboys would easily handle Arizona.

Same. Cards tend to give us problems and their HC has a good defensive scheme (Phillys last year). So we need to bring our A-game and not take these guys lightly - but we should be able to win.

Dobbs is pretty mobile but nothing special, I anticipate that we will do something similar to what the Giants did in the second half - blitz a lot.

damn! jimmy was almost sacked on a handoff! lmao

Not worried about the Cards in the slightest.

Stylistically we are very different then the Cowboys on both sides of the ball. Our style matches up way better. We stop the run and require teams to be very methodical on offense. Very different then the Cowboys. Also the Cards got 31 put up on them the by that terrible Giants offense. Against our offense? Yeah, I like this match up for us a lot.

Shouldn't worry. Even if they were good this year, Kyle has enough familiarity to dice em up. Dobbs is the only player unfamiliar to the team.

He made a few really nice throws on that drive. Including that TD pass.

Yup. They played more physical-type ball against the Cowboys, and we know they don't respond well to that type of play. We are a more physical team, so we will be able easily match what they bring and then some.

There's something to this. They've played strong in the first half twice against teams that underestimated them. They were able to hold on vs Dal because Prescott made his usual back-breaking mistake. Jones played essentially perfect and the Giants won.

It's the wrong thread to talk about Jimmy, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention his signature boneheaded interception per game lol.

I guess somebody forgot to tell the Cardinals that they were supposed to lose today. Have to say that Dallas didn't look particularly sharp. I feel more confident about that game now, though I always thought we would probably win. The Cardinals, on the other hand, have been an enormous pain in our ass for several years now. While I still think we are a better team across the board than they are you never can tell when they might show up like they did today. Niners need to stay focused and keep their foot on the gas. No let downs in the next two weeks. Go Niners!

Hopefully they don't forget to tell them that they're supposed to lose next week.

well now we know why jimmy never threw it deep. lmao

Just looked at stats on ESPN. Purdy leads the league in passing, CMC leads the league in rushing, Deebo #4 in receiving.
