49ers expose Dak Prescott and the Cowboys as nothing more than a SNF Rout fraud.

Sunday night’s NFC matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers has so far been considered the game of the year, a potential preview of the NFC Championship Game.
It’s a titanic battle between a potent offense and two of the best defenses in the NFL.
It was none of those things.
It was a pity.
insult.
This is a shot that can beat a team either way.
Some now see Sunday’s 42-10 loss as the crowning glory of the Niners being the most complete and dangerous team in the league.
It was possible. But it really was a revelation.
exposure. A game that reveals more losers than winners.

Simply put, the Cowboys were exposed.
They are not in the same weight class as the 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles.
They are no more a legitimate threat to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl than the New Orleans Saints or Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Cowboys are competitors.
period. And their quarterback is closer to Kirk Cousins ​​than Patrick Mahomes.

The 49ers have finished the Cowboys the last two years.
Before this week’s game, Dak Prescott told reporters he’ll use that setback as motivation to try to make amends Sunday night.

“If you go back and put the tape on, we didn’t perform well in either game,” Prescott said.
“And when we got close, the last game, we were two or three games away from winning the game, in this game the score was different.”

Maybe Prescott should have watched film of other quarterbacks. Because he was absolutely rotten against San Francisco.
Before the running backs got going in the fourth quarter, Prescott had completed 14 of 24 passes for 153 yards, one touchdown and just three interceptions.

Prescott hasn’t been lights out through the first four weeks of the season.
Leading coach Mike McCarthy’s Texas Coast offense, Prescott completed 71.3 percent of his career passes.
However, he averaged just over 225 yards per game and only four touchdown passes.
His grades were good, but not great.

Prescott in brief.
Good but not great.

Yes, Prescott has put up solid stats for most of his career.
He picked up many wins in the regular season against inferior opponents.
But last year, Prescott led the NFL in interceptions (15) despite missing five games.
He appeared in six postseason games and won just two.

To be fair to Prescott, it wasn’t his fault the Cowboys lost on national television.
Before Sunday’s game, McCarthy said this game was no different. It was more important to avenge past losses and win the next game.
“It’s not about what happened last year,” McCarthy said, via the Associated Press.
“It’s not like you’re walking down the street and you’re fighting a guy and you find him every time you turn the corner.
It’s about winning the game.
It’s about winning the next game.
But we know who we are playing against.

Maybe the Cowboys should have taken the situation personally.
Because they are completely overwhelmed in every aspect of the game.
Dallas totaled 197 yards of offense. The Cowboys turned it over four times, had just eight first downs, gained 3 yards per carry and went 4-of-11 on third downs.
“Texas coast?” Like Texas toast.

The Cowboys’ best defense in the NFC in terms of yards available entering Sunday’s game wasn’t very good. Dallas allowed 42 points, 25 first downs and 421 yards of offense to Niners running back Brock Purdy early in the fourth quarter.
Purdy threw for 252 yards and four touchdowns, including three to George Kittle.
Purdy consistently found wide open receivers down the field with one sack and two quarterback hits as Dallas dominated the pass rush.

By comparison, the Cowboys allowed four sacks and nine quarterback hits.
You could argue that at least some of that isn’t the Cowboys’ fault.
The offensive line has dominated all season.
Dallas lost Trevon Diggs to a season-ending torn ACL, and his replacement, DaRon Bland, missed Sunday’s scrimmage.

However, all teams struggle with injuries.
It’s up to McCarthy to build an accessible offensive line.
Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is focused on creating a decent backfield.
That didn’t happen Sunday night.

Honestly speaking, I warned you that these cowboys could become paper tigers.
In Week 3, Dallas traveled to Arizona and lost handily to a poor Cardinals team.
Many of the issues that plagued the Cowboys Sunday night were evident in that game. The attack was prone to errors. The defense allowed 400 yards and allowed the Josh Dobbs-led offense to convert half of its third down attempts.
The warning signs were there.
Finally the siren rang in Santa Clara.
Yes, the Cowboys are still 3-2 with three big wins on their resume since 2023. But those big wins came against the New England Patriots, New York Giants and New York Jets.
The Jets are the only one of the three teams with more than one win.
All three of these teams have terrible offenses. The 49ers were the first decent team the Cowboys played this year and they were a complete surprise.

It must have been an annual ritual for cowboys. Maybe it’s the star on the helmet.
Or the whole story. But every year, people think this season could be the one that ends Dallas’ 30-year Super Bowl drought.
Every year, the Cowboys dominate us on the field, but not much else.
Let’s be clear.
These cowboys are not going to the super bowl.
Not a threat to the Eagles in the NFC East.
He’s more likely to miss the postseason altogether than play in Las Vegas in February.
And if you asked me to pick Prescott and Purdy to win the same game for my theoretical team, I’d pick Purdy.
