Cowboys overcome injuries to beat 49ers 24-17

Maybe the best part about the Dallas Cowboys’ win over the San Francisco 49ers this past Sunday was the fact the defense stepped up when they were needed the most.

Prescott is proving he’s ready to be a starting National Football League quarterback right now.

Gabbert and the 49ers’ offense couldn’t muster much offense after the Cowboys seized momentum.

Most impressive to Jones was the way this group of replacements added to its own adversity by digging a 14-0 hole in the second quarter before a crowd of 70,178 at Levi’s Stadium. But things could go south in a hurry, particularly when you factor in a passing game that could very well get more frustrating with its inconsistency. “I think we aren’t out over our skis a little bit to think that way”.

Sure, the 49ers lost to the Dallas Cowboys at home 24-17.

But this is the 49ers now: The sudden flash of red as Smith went past Claiborne, the team-wide sag after the interception, and finally the sight of Smith raging in frustration afterwards on the sideline and firing his helmet to the ground. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Cowboys had a nice drive down the field. Eifert had 13 TD catches last season.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman, a four-time NFL All-Pro selection, will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon, the team announced Monday. While he completed nearly 70 percent of his passes, Gabbert did throw a key interception late in the fourth quarter. “So, from a mental standpoint I don’t think that’ll be an issue, but obviously the speed of the game and things like that are obviously something that you can’t simulate when you’re out”.

With that in mind, it might actually be more likely that Bryant plays this week than not. I have come to praise them, praise them for the significant progress their new head coach, Chip Kelly, has made in the offensive play-calling department. No other than Jones said this himself as detailed in a previous report here on Game & Guide. After a week that saw three teams play and one team have a bye, the division is caught up in as big of a logjam as ever.

“That’s on me”, Gabbert said.

Whether it was Carlos Hyde or Blaine Gabbert, San Fran started out hot.

FISHTIP 2) I wrote before the game: Is all of this the sign of a “weak coach”? “And then the execution at key times in the two minute. And that’s on me”. Over the last couple of years, Romo has been more brittle than plastic left in the MS summer sun. Richard Sherman played one of the best games he has had this season, with two of the three interceptions the Seahawk defense recorded, all in the fourth quarter.

But once again, the 49ers couldn’t match their opponent play for play, even with that opponent missing nearly all of its best playmakers.

Those missing players accounted for 40 percent of the team’s salary cap, executive vice president Stephen Jones said.
