San Francisco: Are You Ready to Root For the…Cowboys?

I know it’s hard to even fathom, but here I am. That I’m even sitting here writing this as I stare out a snowy window in central Oregon, sipping my morning coffee, listening to the national media praise Dak Prescott while calling Brock Purdy a system quarterback. It’s time San Francisco. It’s time to set aside our joys of “The Catch” and TO dancing on the star. Our hatred of those Cowboys teams of the 90’s. Those memories will never die and will be dusted off after the final whistle Sunday with all order restored.

The bottom line is we need them this weekend. Even Deebo Samuel is onboard. “We definitely want the Cowboys to win that game … I think we’re all hands on deck with the Cowboys this week” Deebo told the Up and Adams podcast. The disdain of the Cowboys is not lost on Deebo. He saw George Kittle’s Fuck Dallas T-shirt and also didn’t mince words after the 49ers thrashing of the Cowboys earlier this season, taking shots at Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons.

The bottom line is the Cowboys are in position to put the 49ers in the driver’s seat with Brock Purdy behind the wheel. The 10-2 Philadelphia Eagles roll into Jerry Land to take on the 9-3 Cowboys with a share of the NFC East at stake. The Cowboys want and need this game. You know who also needs this game? The Eagles coming off an embarrassing loss to the 49ers. The Eagles need to keep their status as the number one seed while the offense carries their struggling defense (compared to last year) up and down the field.

So if all things go right and the 49ers beat their division rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium, and the Cowboys beat the Eagles, this will leave the 49ers in sole possession of the number one seed – due to a bunch of variables I’m not going to list. Leave it to the Cowboys to muck this scenario up.

First, before any of this can happen the 49ers need to repeat their Thanksgiving day performance when they beat the glow stick looking Seahawks 31-13 up in Seattle. While the stats do not show it, with the Seahawks touting a mediocre 6-6 record, this is still a rivalry game and Seattle would love nothing more than to make this article rendered semi-useless. Good thing for the 49ers, after receiving a three year 105 million dollar contract extension, quarterback Geno Smith once again looks like quarterback Geno Smith. Once a Jet always a Jet. Sorry Jets fans, if you exist, that was uncalled for as you have no bearing on this outcome and don’t need to be catching strays from San Francisco journalists.

I’ll say it now for you all so the words don’t ever have to leave your lips, let’s go Cowboys. My gear is packed and I’ll be bouncing from brewery to brewery here in Bend, Oregon and would welcome any must stop in the comments. Let’s get ’em Niners and get this weekend over with so we can get the football world back in order. See you all back in San Francisco.
