So I am probably a typical riveted fan, watching every play, every tackle but am prejudiced for my team.
To my eyes, the Cowboys are defensively coached to take the biggest nearby player and pile full body limp after the opponent is on their way to the turf. I saw it happen repeatedly as they targeted McCaffrey. I was really surprised he wasn’t hurt. You could say it was part of the game etc but it seemed peculiar and consistently delivered. No flags but it must have been legal. Did anyone else notice this?
But then, when that didn’t scare the opponent, the Niners proceeded to make them look outmatched. And outcoached. The sideline long faces on the camera as the game progressed was priceless. One of the announcers said, to paraphrase, that NFL guys can accept getting hurt, but being humiliated is harder and it seem very apt.
Before the game, I heard the on-air talent declaring that the Niners “should be very afraid” of the Cowboys. Snert.
It was more like an Oprah show for the Niners: “YOU get a
touchdown and YOU get a touchdown and YOU….”
And that trickeration play with the double flea flicker pass COULD be interpreted to show that Shanny just had very little respect for the Cowboys D.
I was BSin’ with a very knowledgeable Cowboys fan this morning and he has been down on McCarthy and Dak since last year. He predicted the type of game and score differential correctly to others. I think we can say that the Cowboys have been exposed.
