After a big Week 1 victory over Seattle, the 49ers suffered a devastating overtime loss today to the rival Dallas Cowboys. San Francisco jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first half before allowing a late touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Miles Austin that was a harbinger of things to come.
Alex Smith seemed to take a step forward today, but unfortunately, almost every other unit took a step backwards. What does this mean for the 49ers?
Well, they had a chance to get another big win against a pretty good opponent (though light years ahead of the Seahawks) and start the season with tons of momentum at 2-0. Instead, they drop a heartbreaker before going into their first road game next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.
If the 49ers had won today, they would be heading into Week 3 with a huge swell of confidence and the NFC West lead to boot. Instead, they blew it against Dallas, and now, coach Jim Harbaugh has a tough test ahead of him, getting his troops rallied to come back and be ready to go in seven days.
I need to stop watching this postgame coverage on ESPN for two reasons. One, I can’t handle Chris Berman and Co. comparing Romo to passers like Tom Brady and Drew Brees. That’s just ludicrous. And Trent Dilfer just complimented the 49ers’ defense by using the term “slobber knocker…”
My goodness. Please, let’s change topics. So, here is my report card for the 49ers Week 2 loss.
