2022 Season | Divisional Round Gameday Chatter Thread | Cowboys @ 49ers | 1/22/23

Fuck all the experts saying we are going to see the “real Dak” today. Mother fuckers, Rayne Dakota is about to tear you a new one.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

We are not. We've been here already. We need to get past this point.

We've made significant progress over the last couple years. Back to back 12 win seasons. We went from no playoffs, to playoffs to second round of playoffs. We've become a real team that doesn't just fold at the injury of our QB.

But yes, it just almost feels unreal that if we win today we will do something we haven't accomplished since the 90s. It's been so long it just doesn't even feel realistic to me anymore.

 

[Texas Ace]

We lose today as our general playoff performance creeps back in.

 

[Cotton]

We are the champions is cliche at this point.

Sure did just drop a dur on you!

 

[Bipo]

Gonna fire up some Joe Rogan podcasts to take my mind off this.

I was looking forward to it.

 

[Texas Ace]

I know he's impressed up till now but I think we get mistakes out of that young QB today.

Basically, I think we're going to make him look Purdy Shitty....amirite?

Anything with a Covid warning will be a good one.

Listen to the one where he addresses his weird nipples

 

[Bipo]

I had a bad dream last night of Bland being roasted over and over.

 

[Cotton]

Just had my first nervous shit of the day. Good to get that out of the way early.

 

[Cotton]

Listen to the one where he addresses his weird nipples

I don't think I have seen that one.

 

[Bipo]

I went to Ohio St to see Rogan live. Chappelle made a surprise appearance. Told a story about watching Chuck Berry's sex tape. I thought I was going to pass out laughing.

We've made significant progress over the last couple years. Back to back 12 win seasons. We went from no playoffs, to playoffs to second round of players. We've become a real team that doesn't just fold at the injury of our QB.

But yes, it just almost feels unreal that if we win today we will do something we haven't accomplished since the 90s. It's been so long it just doesn't even feel realistic to me anymore.

Everybody wants to look back and say "such and such hasn't been done in X years", and that's all true and relevant to an extent, but what's most important is that as we sit here right now we're a top 5-7 team in the league and there's absolutely no reason we shouldn't be that again next year.

This isn't like the Garrett years where we could never follow up a relatively successful season with another and give ourselves another chance at advancing deep into the playoffs, so nobody knows what next year holds. Going into 2015 and 2017 and 2019 we'd sit here and say we're extremely talented, we should compete for the NFC, but then the team would lay an egg that very next season for a variety of reasons.

We're past that now, making the playoffs back to back, winning double digit games back to back, putting together our most dominant playoff performance in about 15 years, that's all reason for legitimate optimism going into next season. You can't just say "oh we're talented but the other shoe will drop", there's no logical argument that we'll be anything other than one of the top teams in the NFC again next year aside from irrational pessimism.

We might not make the NFCC or Super Bowl next year because the NFL is an unpredictable thing and being really good isn't always enough with how close the margins are, but I'm damn certain we'll be a strong contender barring injury.

Simon and Garfunkel?

Two great tight ends?

Two great tight ends?

That's probably how they describe each other.

It does almost feel like the 49ers are due for a stinker. Their rookie nobody QB has never faced adversity. They have won like 11 games straight. That's hard to do and even the greatest teams have a game where they just sort of make uncharacteristic mistakes. I'm really hoping that the 49ers sort of do exactly that. Again, just feels like they are due for one.
