Any updates on Bosa today? I really want him to play against us. I want us to beat the best that a team can send.

Not that I've seen. Nor Fred Warner. I imagine they'll both be DNP's most of the week and carried as questionable into Saturday.

Warner did seem to be moving around with relative ease on the sideline after he departed. I suspect he'll be there Saturday. Bosa's hit looked brutal. Wouldn't be surprised to see him out for this week.

Why would we want them to play? A win is a win in the playoffs and Il take the path of least resistance if given the choice.

I don’t need any more points of pride, or pats on the back, other than a ticket to the NFCCG.

Yep, I never get thinking otherwise. Unless it's the qb, no one remembers who played or didn't. Just who won.

Agreed 100%. It's not like facing TB without Brady or something. No one would put an asterisk on the Packers winning if Bosa was out since we're already favorites.

I see you have starting watching GMFB APG, Cant blame ya

Just off preliminary reports, I doubt Bosa allows himself to be sidelined for a concussion, I bet Warner tries to play but is somewhat limited.

Who knows. Hope they dont play.

We have Elgton Jenkins out, I’d call that about a wash

Ha! Not watching but I do follow Rappaport on Twitter. It certainly occurred to me that posting a link featuring Kay Adams is not a bad thing.

Beat those two and AR can be called an exorcist.

Anyone else notice last night that Mahomes threw almost every single pass to the right side of the field? There's my advanced football analysis for the morning.

I hate that there's a 7th team in each conference

Terrible, also, though, that they put Steeler-Chiefs in p[rime time instead of Cowboys-49ers, which was both a much better game, and a much better market share appeal.

Did you fellas hear Aikman say during the TB-Eagles broadcast that he wished FOX got the Cowboys-49ers game instead?

Nagler says our time is official...

Saturday night, 8:15pm.

7:15pm, in the only time zone that matters!

This is one of the things I don't like about living in the EST.

I'd rather not but I will say Bosa seems to be injury prone.

McCarthy is catching some real heat today. I think its a couple of things...

1) We are seeing why offensive minded HCs insist on calling their own plays. Several series during the game the run was working for Dallas, yet they still wanted to throw, throw, throw...en route to a punt. Then, the QB draw at the end...Kellen has said he called that play and McCarthy basically "Okayed" it by not stopping it. Does McCarthy go that route if he is calling the plays himself? Who knows, but now he gets all the blame anyways.

2) Since McCarthy is not calling plays, he basically needs to be very good at being the "CEO" of the team. Well the team was a mess. Leading the league in penalties? Two games where they had over 14 penalties? Tons of penalties yesterday. No discipline. The team looked like a mess. So if Mike isnt dialing up amazing plays, and Quinn is handling the defense...the question then gets asked, what the hell is mike doing?

Fair question.

I honestly thought Dallas did their last possession to perfection.

Their only flaw was Dak didn't hand the ball to the umpire. Otherwise they would have had a shot with like a 25 yard pass to win.

Calling a run, with no intention of the run going out of bounds, with only 14 seconds left and no timeouts, is wildly risky. Everything must be done right for it to work. You are taking on a massive risk, all for gaining what...15 yards closer to the end zone?

I would have preferred to not take that risk and throw two balls in the end zone from where they were before the Qb Draw. The first play could take up to 10 seconds and it would be just fine. Only rule in that scenario would be 1) throw it to the end zone, don’t throw an INT. Any incompletion is fine, anything but an INT is fine.

That seems like a better risk reward profile than running the ball and relying on everything to line up perfectly. I mean you just cannot run that play and forget that you HAVE to hand the ball to the ref. Wildly brutal mistake, of which the preparation must come under the microscope.

I feel like that one play is over-inflated by MM haters (I mean, I'd blame Dak), while the chronic penalties were the much more serious thing and more of something a HC is responsible for.

Also, everyone seems to be assuming that if they had stopped the clock, they woulda succeeded with the desperation pass. It woulda been a <5% success rate play. And desperation heaves with no INT chance do not exist.
