![]() ![]() Next: Five Cowboys who will shine against the 49ers Will they dominate a winless 49ers squad playing a rookie quarterback getting his first NFL start? With a 19-3 win over the Giants, the Cowboys did what they were supposed to do. This season, Dallas has just one game so far against a “bad” team and followed suit. All but one victory was fourteen or more points. Dallas was 4-0 in those games, winning by an average score of 25-15. Last year, Dallas played four teams who went on to win six or less games. Really good teams dominate teams they “should” beat. Why? This team likes to think of itself as a playoff team with higher aspirations. I’m curious to see how the Dallas Cowboys perform today, possibly moreso than any other game.With an offensive line needing a little confidence boost as well, today could be a big one for 21. Last season, Elliott hit San Francisco for almost 160 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. With another stay of execution as it pertains to his on again/off again suspension, is this when the big game happens? Zeke has had one absolute nightmare of a game, a couple of nice games and a couple of average ones. When the Cowboys have the ball, it will be interesting to see if this is the breakout game for Ezekiel Elliott.If the 49ers score more than their 18.8 average, this defense may never figure it out. David Irving should have his conditioning right too. The secondary, aside from Chido Awuzie, is completely healthy as well. Dallas will have Sean Lee and Anthony Hitchens at linebacker together for the first time in 2017. If the Cowboys are to get any confidence back on defense, this would seem like the team to help. This team does not do any one thing very well offensively, They are 20th in passing, 23rd in rushing, 25th in scoring and 30th in third down conversions. You do not have to look too hard into why San Francisco is 0-6.The question will be whether or not they can keep it. Most will expect Dallas to have a lead in this game as well. If the Dallas Cowboys are to get back into the win column, they will need to be a lot better at closing out games. In their last two losses, Dallas has had a double-digit lead, only to see it vanish as the game nears the end. Sadly, the Cowboys have shown a penchant for letting teams off the hook. That fact alone should keep Cowboys fans from breathing easily. They may not win, but they don’t go away easy. Aside from their week one loss, they haven’t lost a game by more than three points. Even with the 49ers having a winless start, they have managed to keep things interesting.In preparation for this afternoon battles between old rivals, here’s what to watch for: Unfortunately, even with all that going for them, this game will likely not be an easy victory. Dallas is coming off rest while the 49ers have played three straight road games.Īlmost every conceivable angle in this matchup leans positively towards the Cowboys. The 49ers have not won a game yet this season. ![]() The Cowboys have won three straight games in San Francisco, including a 24-17 victory last year. If ever there was a time to right the ship, one would think San Francisco would be a good place to start. Three of their next four games are away from AT&T Stadium. The road will be a familiar spot for this team over the next month. After back to back home losses, in which the offense scored 30+ points, the Cowboys hit the road. Yet, that is exactly where Dallas is, coming of their bye week. I’m pretty sure if you took a poll of football experts, as well as Dallas Cowboys fans, few would have thought this team would be 2-3 after five games. Coming off a bye week and in desperate need of a win, the Dallas Cowboys visit the winless 49ers, hoping to start a win streak. ![]()
