Dowdle out tonight after showing up with an illness.

[nobody 2,466]

What the heck was that by Dak.  

I know the announcers are saying it was Bosa, but in what world was the safety not going to have a play on that ball?

[nobody 2,466]

Looks like Mason is done for the night.  Dude looked knocked out.

[Mike FF Today 709]

Mason is Questionable to return with a shoulder injury.

[polecatt 471]

I'm glad I don't need anything from this game...

CeeDee Lamb is having an off season

[polecatt 471]

Dak Prescott is an awful QB

[JagFan 129]

Horrible call picking that flag up.

He WAS a good fantasy QB but he's not even that any more. I have him as my #2 QB in 4 of 5 leagues (two of those 2-QB leagues). I'll likely be moving on with the likes of Stafford, Cousins, Nix, Winston, whoever I can get.

 

[Showboat 247]

Somebody in NY must have a prop bet on a Purdy rushing TD.  Not sure how they can confirm a TD when the elbow is clearly down before the goal line and the ball is on the field side of his arm.

[Mike FF Today 709]

 

[polecatt 471]

Big garbage time points for CeeDee Lamb!

[Law 239]

I guess Dalvin Cook is NOT gonna be a thing.

[Serenity Now 63]

Went from a sure win, to needing nabers to play well thanks to the 49ers seemingly trying to not cover lamb in the 4th.

[polecatt 471]

Dak is the worst QB in the NFL.

The defense holds, they get the ball back in great shape to score...

4 incomplete passes, turnover on downs...

[DocNiner 57]

After a dismal first half Shanahan musta lit a fire under the players arse in the locker room. Geez, or RBs are a mash unit but yet still showed how good our depth was with Isaac Guerendo. Not sure on Mason status goingforward but CMC will be a welcome sight week10 but if he's not close to 100% they need to set him.and let Guerendo get carries. My.guy, TE.GEORGE KITTLE got fired.up in the 2nd half and say what you.will about Purdy I think he's.playing great considering his best skill players are unavailable. Dude showed.he could run the ball as well when needed. Had to have this win over the Cowboys because the division is really jammed up.right now. Not really worried about the Cardinals or the Seahawks but the Rams could really be a problem going forward with Kupp and Nacua back in the lineup. I feel it's gonna come down to the Rams or 49ers to grab the division title because the way the rest of the NFC is playing it could still be hard for the 9ers to even get a wildcard berth if they don't win the division. So,.are the Detroit Lions gonna claim the NFC title this year. They look like a strong contender to reach the superbowl.

i herd he could have returned, but the rookie was doing so well, no need to rush him back in.

 

he's been playing with that injured shoulder for the past few weeks, and it shows.

 

yeah- purdy is not the issue.  shanahan still needs to learn how to hold onto leads

[weepaws 3,009]

Mason= less than 10 points in four straight non ppr games.  The owner in my 14 team non ppr, seems content to die on that hill,  I’m happy.  

[kilroy69 1,162]

I mean to be fair. The cowboys are really just helping out their fanbase. Instead of setting them up for heartbreak when Dak chokes late in the season, they are just getting it over early.

he left early vs sea with 9/73..was in for a big day. left early again yesterday. definitely dealing with pain management... so now a bye and cmc due to return week 10. really going to be interesting to see how all three will be used in that game

[Da_Bears 14]

Dowdle gets to the stadium expecting to start, only to be told Cook was going to.  Dowdle thinks, well FU too!  Says, ok I am kinda feeling sick anyway, good luck.

I thought Dallas came out with a decent defensive game plan, but the 49ers adjusted at half.

That pressure scheme worked when the 9ers hadn't seen it, but it was too exploitable.

They should make these coaches take some game theory classes.  Or better yet, and people would absolutely hate this, but they could do the math on what the game theory optimal rush/pass rate is and just have a computer spit out what play to run.  Seems like a good application of AI.

Non ppr, five of the last six games Mason has played, he has produced less than 10 points, injury or not, he’s been a liability not a asset 

[Bier Meister 1,601]

I understand that you play in non-ppr. 
2 of those games he left in the first half. 
 

Knowing he has the shoulder injury, we need to make the choice whether to start him or not. 
 

With injuries being so pervasive, this still hard not to.

He night not be one that can handle a full work load, being able to withstand is really what makes rb1.  I play in both. 14 team non, 14 team ppr.   The owner in the non keeps starting him as his rb2, and he’s falling like a rock,  but it’s all good.

Yeah, even if CMC plays week.10 they should seriously watch his play during the game and.put him on a snap count if necessary, no need to risk further injury. Mason has.been dealing with a nagging shoulder but he's.been a.warrior though it. Now.since the way.Isaac Guerendo has.played the last.couple of weeks I'm.fine.with giving him a heavier workload even if CMC  plays better. 49ers.hace shown they can run the ball so.I hope they don't push McCaffrey toouch.

    It looked.like Dallas.came out with a decent.defensive game plan through the 1st.half that confused the 9ers at times but did adjust to it somewhat in the 2nd half. Hopefully the 9ers learned how to adjust to what Dallas was doing because I'm sure they're gonna see it again from other teams. Purdy is talented enough to figure out what he needs to do and get.the ball out quick to the hot read. We do have some tough matchups in the 2nd half of the season but if we can get back to somewhat healthy I'm.confident we can stack some wins. Sunday night's game was a game we.had to win if we even want to sniff a chance of possibly winning the division. I am concerned with the RAMS because they're getting healthy. The trio of Kyren Willams, Kupp and Nacua could give teams some trouble. Their young defense is also improving so it may be the Rams are.the team to beat in the NFC Qest.
