Tsarist times are long gone. By the 1930's Moscow was the only center of road, rail, and other spider's webs of all types. Only by going through Moscow could one telephone, telegraph or drive whichever way to go. You see this on maps. Moscow is the center of everything. Without the very center of the Communists, it would be very difficult to find the oil, roads, railroads, communications, and many other resources to continue fighting. Once Germans took Moscow, they planned a huge bombing campaign against the Red Army and the whole society moving beyond the Urals. Where would the forces of Stalin find everything to make successful war, from nowhere...?
1)Where would the Germans find the forces to start a bombing campaign against the Urals ?
2 ) The Soviet army was numerically stronger at the end of 1941 than in june 1941.
3) Roads were almost never used during the war in the east for obvious reasons .
