They will play.

And it's a 5:20 PM prime time game. One of the few times I wish not.

Ice cold take. Lots of teams are struggling right now. 49ers have three winnable games with Dallas, Tampa missing its top two receivers and Seattle coming up. Win all of those and they're back in the playoff hunt.

I hate Dallas as much as the next and always will but this week feels different. It's a gimme. It could easily flip either way and there is nothing easy about any game coming up.

Is Deeb still in hospital? Out two weeks or so?

Wow. This could be the year the Dallas CRY_Boys finally beat us. Imagine that. Everything is primed for it.

It hurts me to say it, and I hate Dallas and Seattle. Maybe they will get it together, but with no BA and Deebo, it will be hard.

Hence why they drafted Pearsall and Cowing. Those guys just need to step up. I don't think Deebo will be out long term either. Beat Dallas, get to the bye and the next few games after that are very winnable.

Go 49ers

So, I'm assuming Bland and Parsons will play. Their season is on the line too really. It looks like their big DT is coming back too.

If I'm not mistaken, Zimmer's system is heavy press man and blitz happy. Purdy will have to adjust and do way better, and I'd like Kyle to throw in some screens. This is a much different scheme than Quinn runs I think.

Our WR crew likely will be:
Jennings, Cowing, Pearsall, Conley, Bell, possibly Trent Taylor elevated.

Kittle may be out with the foot injury. That means Saubert, Tonges, and Willis out there. That's a big deal because Kittle was very good against Parsons.

Mason is the type of runner Dallas has struggled against, so I think we'll see a heavy dose.

Defensively, we need to make sure they're one dimensional. Take away Lamb.

I think this could be a close game.. Maybe one point, maybe 4 points.

Niners 25, Cowboys 24

Angry OTC is good OTC. I've always been a fan, but your posts the last few days have been spot-on. Props, man.

We need Georges good luck charm tee-shirt underneath his uni. Go George.

You know your team sucks when you start looking at the opponent's injury report for help

Must win game, nfc opponent, go into the bye on a positive note.

Plenty of negative Nancy's I see. After three huge SB stings, this one being an extra super sting lol, I think I am cool just watching 49er football again win or lose, much like 20 yrs ago or so lol. Our rooks will have to step up in a big way and I am glad S&L focused on WRs..cause boy, we ended up really needing them. I do hope Purdy sticks around for a good while, he has been so fun to watch.
