Dallas Season Comes to an End Losing to 49ers in Wild Card Game

By -

 



The Cowboys tied an NFL playoff record with 14 penalties in their Sunday night loss to the underdog 49ers, and San Francisco tried its hardest to give the game right back to Dallas, thanks in large part to late-game errors by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. But nothing encapsulated the sloppiness of the wild-card showdown quite like the game's final play, which saw the Cowboys literally run out of time on a comeback attempt that ended at the 49ers' 25-yard line.

he San Francisco 49ers are off to Lambeau Field to face the No. 1-seeded Green Bay Packers in the NFL divisional playoff round.

The 49ers, who made it into the playoffs by virtue of an overtime win at the Los Angeles Rams a week ago, survived Sunday despite nearly blowing a 16-point, fourth-quarter lead.

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who also had a bad overthrow of an open Brandon Aiyuk in the third quarter, finished 16-of-25 for 172 yards.

Deebo Samuel, the 49ers’ offensive catalyst, ran for 72 yards (10 carries) and added 38 yards receiving (three catches).

49ers held on for a 23-17 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday.

The Cowboys had a final chance with 32 seconds remaining and were at the San Francisco 41 with 14 seconds to go when Prescott took off up the middle intending to slide and then spike the ball for a final play.

But Dallas didn't get the snap off from the 24 until after the clock hit 0:00. After a brief delay, referee Alex Kemp announced the game was over.

DC AG Files Lawsuit against Snyder, the NFL and Commissioner Goodell

By -
DC AG Karl Racine is filing a civil lawsuit against the Washington Commanders, owner Dan Snyder, the National Football League and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stating  they collectively lied about allegations of a hostile work environment and workplace harassment and that Snyder was not only aware of those issues, but "encouraged and participated" in it.   Racine gave us a few quotes: "We're standing up for DC residents who were repeatedly lied to and deceived" "The Attorney General's office reviewed thousand of internal documents and emails uncovering clear wrongdoing of D.C. residents and their consumer rights" Its safe to say D.C. is no longer putting up with Dan Snyder and Roger Goodell's sh*t.  Good for them.

I think it is safe to say the NFC East is back.  If the playoffs were to start today the entire NFC East would be in the playoffs.  It would be In this order: 1) Philadelphia Eagles 2) Minnesota Vikings 3) San Francisco 49ers 4) Tampa Bay Bucs 5) Dallas Cowboys 6) NY Giants 7) Washington Commanders I know we still have 5 games to go in the season, and a lot can happen in 5 games, but the NFC East is dominating again.   Now, which one of these teams is favored to represent the NFC in the Superbowl?  Or is there a team out there that you think can make a run?

AFC Playoffs

The AFC East looks like the division that has it all together.  With every team 2 games above .500 or better, the wise bet would be the AFC SuperBowl representatives would come from this division.   Then you have to remember that the KC Chiefs, LA Chargers, Baltimore Ravens, and the Tennessee Titans are all very much in the mix.  The AFC Playoff picture, as of today looks like this: 1) Kansas City Chiefs 2) Miami Dolphins  3) Tennessee Titans 4) Baltimore Ravens 5) Buffalo Bills 6) Cincinnati Bengals 7) NY Jets Once again, I know a lot can happen in 5 games, and this list is far from finanalized.  Who are you picks for the AFC playoff representatives?  Who is going take it all the way to the Superbowl?
