Forge Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 It goes without saying that any team can beat someone on why given day, but I'm just going to say that if the niners don't come out of nfc it's kind of a colossal failure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is - Shanahan's over performed a touch in the playoffs so far. 2019 was a very good team and the best team in the NFC, but the statistically all-decade great Ravens got bounced in the first round and the Patriots likewise. In 2021, they took out what probably were two of the best three teams in the NFL on their own ground with a team that was playing well, but had only been a step or two above average for the season. Last year, they went through an excellent Cowboys team on their way to the Eagles and the Purdy injury. That team during the Purdy period was a championship caliber team. This team is pretty clearly the best team we've had even with the defensive regression. But, like, it took the '99 Rams and their absolutely monster team down to the last play to win both their last two games. The '07 Patriots famously lost. Teams this great often blast their way through, but you remember it when they don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Big time drive for the Cowboys to finally take the lead. Let's see if Tua can get it done in the clutch. Hasn't for the most part all season. Lose and the Bills likely win the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys will be the 5th seed and that was likely even with a win. Bucs vs Cowboys once again in the WC round. Unless the Rams upset the Lions, we will be playing the Cowboys again in the divisional round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that Dak under pressure drops off more than your average guy, but they'll score points on us and their defense is legit. Fumbling on the 1 yard line tends to depress your score. I still think Dallas is one of like 4or 5 teams that can expect to hang without a nuts outlier performance (from either conference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are contenders to make the SB. I feel like the Cowboys offense can use more creativity at times but Dak is playing at an high level and they will move the ball. The run game is a problem though, super inconsistent. They can give us a game but we will be a decent favorite over them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year it was only Dallas -2.5. this year I think they are closer, but that line should have been much higher last year if we are being honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the various models I follow made it pretty clear that Dallas needed to be at least a 4 point favorite, even on the road, but sometimes the public leans hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing about the Bucs last season showed they could win that game. Teams currently with a winning record that we beat this season: Seahawks (2x) Eagles Cowboys Bucs Rams Jags Steelers Lost to the Browns and Bengals who currently have a winning record and the Vikings fell below that mark today. 8-2 vs .500 or better teams 3-1 vs below .500 teams Our current SOS still isn't even top 10 I believe? Not sure how when we have played nothing but winning teams for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
