No doubt that they can put up points on the average NFL defense, but excited to see how Purdy does against an elite defense that will be hellbent on stopping the run and forcing mistakes on his part. If he plays disciplined football and protects the football, we should be able to pull away from them in the second half.
He did it last year, and Jimmy did it the season before. Purdy's even better than he was last year and the offense is red hot right now. I'd be absolutely shocked if they struggle.
For our defense, we should be able to handle their offense as we have in the previous two games. The difference though is how will Steve Wilks choose to scheme against the Cowboys?
49ers beat Dallas's defense twice WITH Trevon Diggs too. That said I do expect a good game and expect to see them a second time in the playoffs.
Dallas has a good defense but overall I'm just not impressed by them, who have they really beat??? Jets, Giants and Pats, you gotta be frickin kidding me. But lose convincingly to the Cards. I don't buy their hype at all.
Agreed. Shannon Sharpe has been railing on them the past couple weeks, and he's absolutely correct. They play opportunistic, pressure defense and are really good at snowballing and bullying weak offenses. The Jets (Zach Wilson isn't great), Giants (Daniel Jones isn't great), and Patriots (Mac Jones isn't great) simply wilted under the pressure. The Cardinals came and ran the ball, and Dobbs came ready to play... and the Cowboys found they couldn't bully them. No reason why we can't again beat them as we have the last two years.
