Niners/Cowboys Postgame

-Great to get the win and start the season off on a good note, although I was definitely expecting us to win this one. In the end I was expecting a little more from us but I think the refs made it not as good as it couldve been.

-Kaepernick played very well. He had some good throws and reads and some nice scrambles. Good performance from him. I think the performance wouldve looked even better if the oline played better. Kaepernick covered up a quite a few of their flaws.

-The oline is always a little tough to review with watching the game live and just once but saw a few things:

-Iupati had a really crappy game, especially early on I was noticing him. He struggled a lot in pass protection and his run blocking wasn’t much either. This basically seemed like a carry over performance from his horrible preseason game. I don’t know whats wrong with him but if he doesn’t correct it quickly, I’d move Looney over to Iupatis spot and have Boone go back to RG.

-J. Martin struggled a few times that I noticed. He was having a nice preseason but this game he came back to earth it seemed.

-Overall, we were losing the battle on the oline which I was not expecting going against Dallas.

-Boldin is a beast and so valuable. Makes so many tough catches to keep the drives alive.

-Crabtree was surprisingly quiet. Maybe his injury was slowing him down? I was expecting a big game from him given the circumstances.

-Hyde is going to be something special. He has great power and a nice burst. He’ll be important to us down the road.

-I don’t know whats wrong with Phil but hopefully he can work through it. This is seeming eerily similar to Akers…

-The pass rush was really lacking today. Romo seemed to have a lot of time in the pocket. A few plays we were able to create pressure but overall it was lacking. Lemonier had a quiet game and I didn’t notice him all that much.

-Justin Smith is still a beast and one of our best defensive players.

-Love Eric Reid. Missed a tackle or two but around the ball and had a nice INT.

-The defense as a whole I think played ok. I think the performance might look a little better than it actually was due to some turnovers and Romo being Romo. The cowboys were really moving the ball on us and we could not stop the run at all. There are a lot of concerns here but they did create turnovers and put 7 pts up for us so cant be too critical.

-D Johnson played nicely being put into a tough situation. Good to see from the rook.

-Lynch made a little bit of noise when he was on the field. I noticed him a couple of times. Seemed to play pretty decent and had a nice tip of a pass.

-The refs were horrible and really impacted the game. They kept some of the drives alive for the Cowboys and killed our offensive drives.

I'm renaming this thread "Niners/Cowboys Postgame" so we don't have a million threads with everyone's reviews.

I disagree with Martin you played very good solid. they kept putting his side and other people were not picking up his leftover guys and out what is what caused pressure for the most part.

Hyde needs to start he is a better player than Gore right now. the burst he showed and shiftiness this was incredible. he also did a very good job of pass blocking.

The defensive line was a very weak in the middle. Williams needs to get stouter.

LMJ played horribly I'm glad he didn't get much touches he is not very good and I wish you was traded during preseason.

the ref screwed us over with their bull crap calls. the refs gave the Cowboys 14 points they did not deserve. I hope to god that they do not call it was kind of calls against the 49ers all season long because it will be a long season.

crabtree and bold in were awesome. Crabtree was used as a decoy all game.

Sounds good

I really wasn't impressed with our performance.. O-line didn't create much holes for Gore and didn't give Kap a lot of time. The rush defense was horrible, pass rush was bad besides a couple good rushes by Smith, pass defense will get shredded when playing a good QB who doesn't make tons of mistakes.

Iupati is regressing. Not sure what's going on with him.

Not sure how you wasn't impressed with the offense Kap played a great game. Made some good throws and decisions. Hyde showed flashes of being a bell cow Boldin was the rock he has been these past 2 seasons. VD had a solid game. Stevie caught a few 1st downs. Now there were some issues Gore could be done, not sure what is up with the Oline and the defense overall wasn't stout but I will take 4 TOs 3 sacks 17 pts against every single week. JMO though

I predicted 38 to 17 originally and we were close to it if it wasn't for the refs. Can't believe we missed the gimme fg either

We scored 7 points after the 1st.. 14 of those points were given to us by Dallas (1 TD return by Culliver and Reid got to the 2 yard line). Yes Kap made good decisions and great throws, I think he had a good game and Hyde ran the ball well.. If we play any team that is close to competing we lose this game IMO.. The only INT that wasn't totally on Romo was the one Cox got and I don't remember us scoring off that one.

Did we watch the same game? The refs alone kept the offense from scoring 40 points. They killed like 3 drives in a row and prolonged a Dallas scoring drive. The run D needs some work, but other than that they dominated the game. For having a completely depleted defense we held one of the better offenses pretty well, and our offense was moving the ball when they wanted to. Oline looked shaky at times, but a few bull penalties kept that from being 40-10.

Watched the first half but missed the entire second half...how did our defense do in the second half because in the first minus a couple of bad decisions from Tony Romo, the defense kind of scared me

Yes we watched the same game.. Penalties happened, they are in every game. Almost every game you could say if it wasn't for penalties or the refs things would be different. Just saying, I am not as impressed with the overall game as most people. We have a lot to work on.

Dallas had 3 and 30 and got a 1st down on a mysterious "hold", which they used to score a TD, then when we had the ball, Kaep found Davis open for a HUGE gain, which was cancelled out by another mysterious "PI", and we punted the ball (Dallas scored after that as well). Add in an easy FG that we should have made and you're looking at 38 to 10 with most of our reserves playing in the 4th.

I disagree about the pass rush. Once we got up quite a bit there were a lot of plays where we only sent 3. It's tough for 3 guys to get a good rush.

As for the offense, I think we saw two different offenses. Early in the game, we were open and aggressive. Once we were comfortably ahead, it turned into bleeding the clock. Judging the offense on the second half is a mistake IMO.

49rangER · Post #15 » by **49rangER** » Mon Sep 8, 2014 1:32 am

Defense and offense played great.

But I know that romo gift wrapped us some INTs.

Offense looked awesome but I know the cowboys D is shaky.

I won't go fully into individual performance.

We played real good and the cowboys real ****.

Either way it's the confidence we needed. And let's keep moving.

Unfortunately our DBS took a hurting somewhat. But Johnson and cox stepped up.

On to the bears. Where I hope the grass is ready.

I don't think you can judge the offense based on this game. Kaep looked great early, but with the large lead I felt like the offense just got really conservative (as Harbaugh always has with a lead) and then some ridiculous penalties killed a couple drives. :dontknow:

The run defense was far more concerning to me. If it's a problem again next week, I'd like to see Borland replace Wilhoite on base defense. Williams was concerning as well, but it was his first game in a year so I'm hoping he'll adjust.

I was shocked at how good Dontae looked in coverage as I was really worried when I saw him enter the game. I really like him as a prospect but didn't think he'd be ready for anything but special teams this year considering he's only one season away from being a safety.

Iupati is playing his last season here.

If Goodell really wants all these stupid illegal contact penalties called, the penalty needs to be changed to just 5 yards. Automatic 1st down on a 3rd and 20+ for that crap is atrocious. WR's will start running into DB's just for the chance of that call.

The run defense was terrible... Murray got to the edge with ease, and gashed the front seven... It was expected to a point, but they really need to shore this up...

Why is LaMichael James on this team? Bruce Ellington is the primary return specialists on both kickoffs and punts.
Plays where the Niners tried to get James involved in the 2 running plays should have gone to Hyde or even Ellington where his speed and elusiveness are needed. And another thing why is Brandon Lloyd on this team? Patton was inactive today which made no sense at all. But otherwise a good game, just don't understand the roster as yet.

That was my fear......turf toe can be a season long nuisance.

Because they aren't going to play with only 2 RBs on game day?
