NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round
- Thread starter wilked
- Start date
He’s normally better with long answers. I think he knows Fred Warner should be doing that interview not him. It was the defense today.
I agree with this. SF O had been clowning people for a long time and Dallas D just went out there and was like “Not today”. They played well enough to win. O let them down. Pollard going out hurt.
LOL

HEY, EAGLES: The Cowboys will see you next weekend at your place. This time we will have our starting QB and so will you. But at full strength, we are a little better than you. You'll see. Bye, Eagles, bye.

Your previous response made it make sense for me. I guess I’d never connected the forward progress aspect.
They'll just add "Runner Up" to the banner and have it back up in a jiffy.
Plus, there are other remedies such as not giving forward progress and marking the play where the player went out of bounds. Schultz wasn’t tackled; his momentum took him out of bounds. The NFL has all sorts of rules that take into consideration the time of game (e.g., no fumble forward in last two minutes, clock runs when out of bounds except for last five minutes) or position on the field (e.g., allowing defense to carry pass catchers out of bounds to prevent them from getting two feet down). I can’t see why they can’t modify that rule at some point to not credit the defense for not making a tackle and not debit the offense for not continuing forward after contact. I just double-negatived myself to death.
The entire Dallas sequence after the final punt was astounding, starting with catching the punt at the 6 instead of hoping it goes in the end zone. Then the weird Day rollout, the near Pick 6, Schultz not moving forward after his first catch, Schultz not getting both feet down, then that final play.
What were we worried about?
Game really came down to one big drive. Huge play to Lamb flipped field position and seemed like it could have been the big play in a one possession field position game, but the 49ers got a circus play, and then drove 91 yards with a few penalties, and that was game really.
Thisi s just cover for Shannon Sharpe.
I am serious. Skip is being a team player.
D should not have punted at the end, but I feel like they wouldn’t have converted anyway as Dak was already doing Dak stuff after having played an ok game. The bigger error was taking the delay and punting from their own 45.
Cowboys still probably screw it up but they would have had a chance to put some real pressure on Purdy. You just have to go out being aggressive. He banked on his defense holding strong and they were completely worn out in 2nd half.
Yep that was the 4th and 5 whew McCarthy decided to punt it. The game changed a lot after that. It seemed like Dallas had things going their way at that point (even after the Pollard injury). Game was tied at 9 and they had already driven the ball ~50 yards
Trusting your defense is a good reason to go for that 4th and 5 too. Maybe it gives Dak the confidence too if they convert and score on that drive. It was a classic “play not to lose” decision and I said that at the time.
Huge stand was niners D keeping to just a FG after mcclouds fumble. That kept everything under control.
That game will create a lot of content for media platforms who are the real winners today.
- Darren Rovell, probably.

Yes. I thought that exactly, but I was too nervous and my BP was probably at infnity so I did not think much about it then.
They responded every time they had to. Big credit. Next week will be a much tougher opponent offensively but I think they’ll be up for it.
Yeah DAL made it first and goal and 49ers held them to the FG. The 49ers defense really came up with the biggest plays of the game…even when Dallas moved the ball a bit they came up with big turnovers like the one deep in the red zone that kept it at 6-6 in the first half. Looked like Dallas was going to march in for another TD.
If anything, I'm worried that Eli Mitchell may have just inadvertently fixed the Cowboys long-term.
I don't think it's a bit strong, I think it's flat wrong. Damn right SF is legit.
It feels like next week's match-up will be reasonably close like this game. Does anyone see Philly running away from this 49ers squad?
The biggest play was Diggs dropping the tipped pass. Once SF got ahead by more than a FG, the Cowboys got tight and did Cowboys playoffs things.
I felt like the hitting was cranked up a notch by both sides. Physical game. Tough on the smaller guys like Pollard and McCaffrey.

If the Eagles can pressure Purdy like the Cowboys did, I think Philly wins ... if only because its offense isn't as dysfunctional
Not only the pressure, but (to my eyes) Dallas was amazing at limiting yards after the catch. They were flying unlike a defense the 49ers faced this year.
Jets SB closer to the start of WWI than today?
EDIT: I don't think so, but close. Certainly closer to the end of WWI than today.
Winter of 1970. WW2 ended in 1945, so 25 years later the Jets won the SB. Since 1970 it’s been 53 years so more than twice the time. Unreal.
Actually WW1 ended in 1918, so that’s 52 years from the end of WW1 to the Jets’ SB win. And 53 years from that SB til now.
LOL

Yankees's last World Championship is about as close to Gene Kelly's death as it is to the present.
Last Sox championship is closer to the release of the first John Wick movie than it is to the present. Feels good.
The Bills have not won a Super Bowl since the Big Bang.
If you take the halfway point between the Big Bang and today — so about 7 billion B.C. — the Bills have not won the Super Bowl in twice that amount of time.
Edit — another way to think about this. If you take the time since the Bills have won a Super Bowl, and extend out that same amount of time into the future, then the Bills will never win a Super Bowl. The formula is this: Where x = never, 2x = never.

I still don’t understand what exactly that last play formation was aiming to do. What was supposed to happen if it had worked perfectly?
I think the idea is that Zeke gets declared ineligible since he has to be a lineman to snap the ball, but then you hook and lateral to him hoping he gets ignored. But he got pummeled. SF seems to have sniffed it out during the time out.

Also. I find it amusing that someone with the last name of Bates made that statement
Im not sure if that is an actual complaint, Jessie.

Another reason it would have been so right to have Troy Aikman on the call (with Buck), Troy getting so much more outspoken as he ages.
