49ers Cowboys
Closer game than I expected but that might be due to home field advantage but LOOK at the NFC standings in both the NFC West and NFC East...The 49ers are in the toughest division of that league and the Cowboys the worst.
NFC West total won/loss: 40/28
NFC East total won/lass: 32/36 Much tougher for the San Frnciso team to get to the playoffs and THREE teams from that division made it in. The NFC North was also 30/36 but a team from that division was not playing in this one.
Second: Anyone notice the very odd helmet worn by 50 of the niners, the center named MACK? I recently wat hed an NFL Films show about the research into better flex and chsioning of the newer energy absorbing helmets and this one as NEVER shown. It had a "V" shaped area equivalent to about the forehead area that acually stuck about an inch OVER the edge of the front. Looking at it, it was almost like the front end of a ship.
Could this be a special order helmet just for the center since that position requires a lot of direct head on trauma? Never saw one like it in all the varieties of helmet that I have observed.....Mahones and Rogers still wear a realtive "old timer" helmet oddly enough.
