Oh, and I just remembered, at the time (1994-95) I blamed the performance on the Cowboys throwback uniforms. Hey, I was young and naive...But they NEVER seemed to play well in those or the road "Dark Blues"
Cowboy Fan here...Most painful loss I ever felt. Down 21-0 before the crunch of my first chip. However, Aikman said it was the finest game the 90's Cowboys ever played as far as pride goes. Larry Brown couldn't hang with Jerry Rice.
In my opinion, these 49ers and these Cowboys had their best unifoems that season. Basically a game with those two teams was an NFC Pro Bowl scrimage, so special uniforms were appropriate.
Wow ppl say this was the golden age of football? The 49ers and cowboys ran the nfc and the bills ran the afc for FOUR CONSECUTIVE FUCKING YEARS! Its the same shit... Now a team that goes 0-16 can go 10-6 and get to the playoffs two years later
wow the niners and that quick strike scored 21 in 2 seconds ....if i were a fan i would not want to remember it either derailing your drive for 3 in a row...But and its a big buttt you had to go through the niners in 94' and you faileeeeeeeeed!
This game was fixed so the 49er's would not suffer a third straight defeat against the cowboys in the nfc championship game, the refs made many bad calls, if we beat the niners we probably have four straight super bowl title, candlestick park is the worst field in the NFL.
@DAS603 Yes, the refs made Dallas cough up the ball three times in the first quarter. You are a typical Cowboys' fan, can't admit when your team was beaten.
Man I miss these games as much as I miss Madden n Summerall. I'm so thrilled to b back in the Championship game, tho. This year against the Giants n hopefully soon against the Cowboys. Let the Redskins, Bears, Raiders, n Dolphins rise again...
Funny how the video jumps from start of game, then skips over the FIRST THREE TOUCHDOWNS by turnovers, SF 21, Dallas 0. That was the whole game right there.
@Asahel717 I agree GB is out of control this year. The ONLY way I can c SF going there n winning is f they pressure Rodgers the way the Giants pressured Brady in the SB - and that will NOT happen. We simply do not have that kindda pass rush. Let's c how it goes down. In any case, it's been a helluva ride. I'm hoping n praying for a 90s type of rivalry between our teams again. U gotta b tired of some of these bozo teams going to the Superbowls lately too.
@Asahel717 I'm shocked that a no nonsense coach like Landry didn't pull Morton n plugged Staubach in there. We'd always wonder. As for this year, personally as a Niners fan, I'm so pleased with this season that a first round playoff exit would not b some devastating thing for me considering the insane turnaround of practically the same team in one year that's taken place here.
@Asahel717 Thx man, you're an intelligent football fan who backs his arguments with things I've never seen anyone do before. I don't like talking football with emotional morons. Trust me, here in the Bay Area, we got plenty of Raiders fans who r pure idiots. Yes u have to question y coaches can't just pull the plug on a QB f he's choking for 3 quarters n is clearly the reason y they're struggling. Montana may not have pulled off a win vs Dallas but I don't believe he would have done worse than
Thanks for all your kind and gracious remarks, and I'm sorry for being out of the loop for a couple of weeks. You must be excited! Home field for the NFC championship game instead of a road trip to Lambeau. I have to say I was impressed (even surprised) that Alex Smith won what turned out to be a shoot-out against Drew Brees. The Niners are sniffing another SB appearance. It should be a great game. Your D is really solid, and Vernon Davis is as good as I thought he'd be.
@Asahel717 Just an FYI, I believe the 49ers had to battle against serious NFC opponents such as the Bears, Giants, Redskins, n even occasional decent Rams teams, to become team of the 80s. In the 90s the Cowboys' only real NFC competition was the Niners until GB came along in the second half of the decade. The rest of the NFC was garbage by all practical matter.
Good points. I enjoy conversing with you. You know your stuff. Yes, 80s 49ers beat very good NFC teams to get to their SBs. I think they played better teams in the NFC playoffs than in the SBs. The 84 and 89 teams were very special - among the best ever. Dallas did play in a division with the winners of SBs XXV and XXVI, the Niners were clearly a superior team and GB wasjust starting to make noise. Dallas did beat GB in 95, 1 yr before GB won it all.
@Asahel717 I bet my life f Elvis Grbac played in some of those championship games over Young, they'd b closer than they were, f not at least one of them ending a W for us. I'm just saying Young would panic n run. The best conclusion would b is the Niners were team of the 80s n Cowboys team of the 90s. Both won 5 SBs each n both r chasing Pitt.
You know, Grbac really played well vs Dallas. I think Young had a hard time vs the Cowboys front four, which was fast and active (and they were eight deep, so they were always fresh). Even in the 94 Championship win, Young did not post big numbers vs Dallas. Other than Deion Sanders, I think Cowboys LCB Kevin Smith played Rice as well as anyone I'd ever seen. Smith ran a 4.35 and was physical. Grbac was another Michigan QB (I'm a UM fan).
I think you guys are in better position to win no. 6 first. Your D is hands down better than ours. Harbaugh is a great motivator. Your O-line is solid. SF just needs a big QB. I think if you had Romo, you guys could really make a lot of noise this year. SF can beat any NFC team at home, even New Orleans if you can pressure Brees. But it is going to be hard for anyone to go to Lambeau. Rodgers is just unconscious this year. BTW, I truly hate Pittsburgh.
@Asahel717 It still sickens me to this day that in the 92 game stupid Seifert didn't go to Montana in the second half. We'd never know what it could have been. U gotta admit that Young's play in big games were always mediocre at best. He beat up on the Rams n Falcons all year but laid an egg against Dallas, GB, etc. Troy Aikman hands down fir me.
I must admit, I wonder the same thing. Montana was Mr. Clutch. Makes me think of SB V when Dallas played the Baltimore Colts (who were still fuming over their loss to the Jets two years earlier). Craig Morton was playing poorly and the Dallas D was keeping them in the game. Staubach was on the sidelines. His scrambling alone could have given Bubba Smith, Mike Curtis and that entire D fits. I agree, you have to question Seifert's decision.
@Asahel717 Also let's not forget the 95 reg season thrashing at Dallas with Elvis Grbac at the helm after Emmitt Smith guaranteed a victory. That Cowboys team was practically the same team n healthy plus Deion where as we were minus Deion n Steve Young but still won. As for Steve Young vs Troy Aikman, I'd b the first Niners fan to tell u that Aikmzn was better than Young. Rest assured Niners losses to Cowboys were as much on Young as on the D.
@Asahel717 I read everything u wrote n I hear u loud n clear. The 94 Cowboys might have been a more talented team on O-line, D, running back, etc, n hobbled up in the NFC Championship game but let's not forget that even when they were healthy they lost 21-14 in the reg season that year to the Niners. So we may not have played best of seven but we took the best of two.
I would like to know one things, and I will preface this by stating that I am not necessarily saying Aikman was better than Steve Young, but why is Terry Bradshaw often regarded as a better QB than Roger Staubach, largely on the basis of SB wins and yet Aikman is not considered better than Young? Aikman has 3 rings to 1 for Young. Young's stats are far better but with Aikman's accuracy and laser arm, he'd have posted huge numbers in a West Coast offense. Just food for thought for Dall/SF fans...
DeBartolo knew Haley had become a cancer in the 49ers locker room. He was discontented playing there. Jimmy Johnson wanted Haley and convinced Jerry Jones to take a chance on him. Johnson thought he could control Haley and he knew he was a playmaker. Haley could be shut down for three quarters, but he would suddenly make a key play in the 4th quarter, and Johnson wanted that type of player. Sanders was all about money, hopping from SF to Dallas for money.
The 94 Cowboys were better on defense and in the running game than the 94 49ers. On D, the Cowboys were no. 3 in pts allowed, no. 1 in total yds allowed, no. 1 in sacks, no. 1 in passing yds allowed, no. 1 in net yd/pass attempt, no. 4 in INTs, no. 3 in rush TDs allowed, no. 8 in pass TDs allowed, no. 10 in rush yds allowed, no. 9 in yds/rush attempt. They replaced Ken Norton at LB and did not skip a beat. Seifert gets coaching edge over Switzer, not over Jimmy Johnson.
@Asahel717 Btw, there's no doubt that the 92-93 Cowboys were better than the 49ers of those years with better defense, running game, n coaching. In 94, the Niners were better. I agree we brought in a defense specifically to stop Dallas n it worked. Wouldn't u b accepting f Dallas did the same against, say Pittsburgh in the 70s, to help u beat them? The point is I accept that Dallas was better for 2 years but u guys keep making excuses about 94 even to this day.
What I will still contend is the 94 Cowboys O-line could have been the greatest OL in NFL history. Erik Williams was the best RT in football. He injured his knee on Oct 24th in a car wreck. That forced Larry Allen to tackle. Derek Kennard was a good RG but the Cowboys envisioned Allen at RG alongside Williams at RT. Allen made All Pro at G and T, a testament to his greatness. But the Cowboys did not get to match up Allen vs LDT Bryant Young. (cont.)
The Niners strength on the D-line was their tackles, Young and Stubblefield. LG Nate Newton and Stubblefield was a good battle, maybe a stalemate. Young was bigger and stronger than Stubblefield, but he could not come close to matching Allen in size and strength (no one could). In the NFC Championship, Allen was injured. There were concerns he could even play vs the 49ers. He badly hurt his ankle vs the Packers, a 35-9 Dallas win a week earlier.
The Dallas O-line was not at its peak going into that game. The Niners front four never had to face the best Cowboys linemen on the field at the same time that year. Allen vs LDE Dennis Brown was a big Dallas advantage but Erik Williams also would have owned him. Emmitt was playing with a bad R. hamstring for a month. He was not at 100% and on a muddy field vs a very good front seven, the Cowboys ground game was controlled all day.
The 49ers won that day, and were better that day, but even with the additions of Sanders and Ricky Jackson, I still believe Dallas was more talented and the better team. In one game eliminations, the better team does not always win. In a seven game series - World Series, NBA and NHL championships - the better team nearly always wins. I guess we have to agree to disagree in a civil manner.
Yes, I agree... if somehow Deion Sanders played in the 70s and the Cowboys had a chance to get him, I would have been very happy with that outcome. Dallas would have put Sanders on Lynn Swan in SBs X/XIII, and Swan would not have made the Hall of Fame. Swan's greatness was most evident in big games (his career stats were nothing compared to Andre Reed's stats), and he lit up Mark Washington and Aaron Kyle. The 78 Cowboys lacked 1 thing: a shutdown CB.
@Asahel717 Yes, u did beat us this year w/o Bryant but we didn't have our best DB, Goldson, either. Felix wouldn't have helped u against us n u know it as nobody really runs against us. U guys won the game so congrats. F u wanna come to the Stick again to prove u ain't scared of us, you'll have to beat the Giants so good luck! We'd love another shot at your title.
Felix would be more effective in the passing game - circle routes, screens. Yes, running on the Niners this year is very hard to do. I don't think we will see you guys in the playoffs. I doubt Dallas beats NYG. Manning plays well vs the Cowboys. If Dallas got in, I think they'd beat Detroit but not Atlanta. I think the NFC title game will be GB hosting SF or NO, with GB winning and advancing. I don't think the Niners could put up enough pts in Lambeau.
@Asahel717 Just so U know, trading for Niners rather than signing them as FAs proves my point further that Dallas has always gone for Niner players. Debartolo didn't go out prior to the 94 season. I don't even know what you're talking about. He was there at least five more years. Yes, we've been NFCE killers this year with a 75% win pct against it n the same as against AFCN--the toughest Div in NFL.
In This Clip, From 0:00 To 2:19, It Was FOX Sports' NFC Championship: Dallas Cowboys Vs. San Francisco 49ers Video Open From Late Sunday Afternoon, January 15, 1995.
@asahel, I agree that The 92 Cowboys may have beaten the ' 85 Bears.Not convinced as you are, though, but if any Super Bowl winner I've seen in my time (I'm 45), I'd say it was them or the ' 93 team. Marino had a solid O-line in front of him during that time as Aikman did 7 years later, so The Cowboys probably would have put up alot of points. 38 points is ALOT to give up, regardless, and that Bears D did against Miami.
People also forget the Cowboys played in the NFL's premier division - the NFC East - at that time. From 1986-95, a span of 10 yrs, teams from the NFC East won SEVEN Super Bowls. That has never happened before and may never again in this era of free agency. The 49ers played in the NFC West, which did not have a legitimate SB contender, other than SF, until the 1999 Rams. And fans who've followed the NFC East thru the years know it's a physical division where each game is a war unlike the NFCW.
I am convinced the 92 Cowboys would have beaten the 85 Bears. The Cowboys were one of the few SB teams that could win the trench wars vs that Bears team. The 94 Cowboys (assuming a healthy Erik Williams) would have been more devastating. Williams outplayed Reggie White, from 1992-1995. Dan Hampton was great, but he was NOT Reggie White. Larry Allen would have destroyed DLT Steve McMichael. And give me Nate Newton vs William Perry. I also like LT Mark Tuinei vs Richard Dent.
From 1992-95, the Dallas Cowboys went 10-1 in the playoffs, winning three SBs. Against GB, SF and Buffalo, the Cowboys went 7-1, outscoring those teams by a margin of 278-161 -- by MORE THAN 2 TDs per game. The Cowboys did this vs three future HOF QBs, Favre, Young and Kelly. Contrast this with the 85 Bears (whom many consider the best team of all time), who beat the likes of Tony Eason, Deiter Brock and Phil Simms in the playoffs. Really? Tony Eason and Deiter Brock? Deiter Brock?
People here post trash about the Cowboys. They fail to look at the NFL through an historical lens. Great teams fall and miss their chance at fame or even lengedary status because of the way the playoffs pan out and the teams they must face. As I posted earlier, the 49ers in 5 SBs not once played an opponent even remotely on par with the 75 or 78 Steelers that beat the Cowboys by four pts each time. If the 75 or 78 Cowboys had played one of the 49er SB opponents, they'd be 7-1 in SB appearances.
The Cowboys kept the 49ers out of 4 SBs. Those Niner teams would certainly have won 2 of those SBs (92, 93) but it is questionable whether John Brodie's teams would have beaten the 70 Colts or 71 Dolphins (the same team which went 17-0 in 72). The 49ers kept the Cowboys out of 2 SBs, which Dallas surely would have won vs the 81 Bengals and 94 Chargers. The 49ers routed a Denver team that eveyone routed - Elway's teams lost SBs by 39-20, 42-10, 55-10 scores.
Yeah, The Cowboys had a great O-line soon after the thrashing The Eagles gave in early ' 91 with 11 sacks in one game. Since then, it got better and better. Not taking away from Aikman nor Emitt, but they wouldn't have been as effective without that great O-line. Barry Sanders never had an O-line nearly as good. Imagine if he had.
You're right. Early in the 91 season, the Eagles killed the Cowboys, 24-0, and ahd 11 sacks, 4.5 by Clyde Simmons. Erik Williams, a rookie RT, held Reggie White to one sack on a day when the Eagles D imposed its will. That Philly front four was one of the best ever: White, Simmons, DTs Mike Golic and the late Jerome Brown, who could have had an Hall of Fame career (he was killed in a car crash in the summer of 1992). After that, the Dall OL was lights out.
@Asahel717, you're a sensible and informed Cowboys fan. I'm neither a Cowboys or 49ers fan, but I've always enjoyed watching them play. I agree that the '78 Cowboys team would have beaten the teams you've mentioned. I also feel the 1981 Cowboys team that was one point short of being in the Super Bowl, would have beaten The Bengals that year. I do feel the '92 team was one of the best I've seen.
Thanks, and you are an obviously knowledgable football fan. I, too, believe the 81 Cowboys would have easily beaten Cincinnati in the SB. Dallas' front four would have lost one matchup in that game, RDE Harvey Martin vs LT Anthony Munoz (who was the best offensive tackle I've seen in 40+ years of watching football). SF won that game 26-20 (thanks largely to a goal line stand), but I think the Dallas D would have held that team to 14 pts.
Also, every Dallas SB team -- 71, 77, 78, 92, 93, 95 teams -- except for the 70 team which lost SB V to the Colts would have beaten the Bengals teams led by Kenny Anderson and Boomer Esiason, the 84 Dolphins, or the 89 Broncos. And the 94 Chargers were not even the best AFC team that year (Pittsburgh was better). Stan Humpries at QB? Are you serious? The 71, 77 and 92 Cowboys would have held that SD team to under 13 pts. The 49ers beat better teams in the NFC than they met in the SB each year.
Well, two more posts. I've heard Niner fans rip the 92/93 Bills as being weak SB opponents while talking about the 55-10 beatdown SF gave the 89 Broncos. Well, the 86 and 87 Broncos were whipped by a combined 81-30 in SB losses to Wash/NYG. Washington racked up 600+ total yds while Simms, who was not a HOF QB, was 22 of 25 for 288 yds, 3 TDs vs Denver. And, prior to having T. Davis, Elway did nothing in 3 SB blowouts.
My final post. The 94 Cowboys had the potential to be the greatest team in Dallas history. That is the year they drafted Larry Allen, who would go on to be one of the two greatest guards in NFL history. Prior to his knee injury, RT Erik Williams was the premier RT in the game. He is the only tackle I've ever seen who could dominate Reggie White for long stretches. He was good after his injury, but never what he was prior to it. If he wasn't injured, Williams would be joining LA in Canton.
If the 78 Cowboys had faced either of the Cincinnati Bengal teams, or the 84 Dolphins or the 89 Broncos, they'd have ripped ANY of those teams. The 49ers O-line did not have to face Pittsburgh's front seven at their peak. I think Cross, Sapulo, Barton and those guys would have gotten killed vs Joe Green, L.C. Greenwood, Jack Lambert, etc.
The Cowboys kept the 49ers out of FOUR SBs... I guess the Niners stayed home from the prom quite a bit.
The Cowboys are 5-3 in SBs, not 5-4. The Cowboys and 49ers have met six times to decide the NFC Championship. The Cowboys won four of those six contests. The only embarrassment in Dallas' SB history is losing SB V to the Colts in a turnover-plagued game. Even then, Dave Manders DID recover a fumble in the endzone which the refs missed, taking away what would have been a 20-6 halftime lead. And so you know, the 49ers NEVER faced a SB opponent even remotely close to the 75/78 Steelers.
I have just one question to the 49er fans out there. Let me qualify that: I have one question to the reasonable, rational and fairly intelligent 49er fans out there who can post a reply without it being profanity laced.
Would you have rather won THREE SBs during this four year stretch when both teams were clearly the class of the entire NFL, or ONE?
I have no doubt that had Johnson stayed, the Cowboys would have won at least 4 straight SBs. And without FA to deplete a deep and talented roster, the 90s Cowboys would be considered the elite dynasty of all time. As it is, I'd still pit the 92, 93 or 94 Cowboys head to head vs the 78 Steelers, 84 49ers, 85 Bears, 2004 Patriots. I think Dallas beats any of those teams. I think the 89 49ers would be the team to give the 92 Cowboys the hardest time, but LCB Kevin Smith played Jerry Rice very well.
Williams returned in 95 but he lacked the lateral movement that made him the best pass blocking RT in football for the three previous seasons. Allen would move to LG and prove to be one of the two greatest guards in NFL history (John Hannah, the other). What I believe hurt Dallas most in 94 was Johnson's departure. The team lost its swaggar and its focus. Switzer could not hold that locker room together and he could not keep that team poised and confident vs a great SF team.
Also, while the 49ers were no doubt a great team in 94 (bought or not), the Cowboys were a hobbling team in Candlestick for this game. Emmitt Smith played for four weeks with an aggravated hamstring injury. In the rout over GB the week prior, RT Larry Allen rolled his ankle, forcing him to hobble for three quarters and then to the bench. In Oct, starting RT suffered season ending injuries in a car crash, forcing Allen from RG to RT. The Allen-Williams combo was on its way to greatness.
If free agency hadn't began in 1993, there would be no conversation which team was better in 1994. SF added Cowboys LB Ken Norton, Jr., Deion Sanders and other notable defensive players in 94. The Cowboys continued to lose key players from 93-96. The Cowboys had drafted and stockpiled depth like no other team in the league. FA and the rift between Jimmy Johnson and owner Jerry Jones kept Dallas from winning four or five consecutive SBs.
This is one of the worst "highlight" videos I have ever seen. You show more clips of incompletions than touchdowns. And half of the video is taken up by the intro. Waste of time.
What dynasty are you referring to? The 4-year domination of the NFL by Dallas from 1992-1996 or the 14-year domination of the NFL by the 49ers from 1981 to 1995?
@itzpacmanx9 We'll c who wins their 6th Superbowl first!!! Mark my words, the 49ers will b 7-0 in Superbowls before your choker bitch team even makes it to the big show.
@itzpacmanx9 Yeh the Niners have made the playoffs once in nine years but that's what u get when u can't pay anyone due to stupid management of salary cap. Play the Bucks twice? What city r they from, Milwaukee? Yeh the NFC West is soft but f u weren't a moron, you'd know that the Niners were 8-1 before they played their 2nd divisional game this season. Including the mopping up of your hardcore NFC East
The NFCE is down this year, no one can deny that. Historically, it is the best division in football, having sent 19 teams to the SB, winning 11. And yes, SF has taken care of the NFCE this year... except for Dallas. W/out 2 of our corners and Dez Bryant, w/ CB Mike Jenkins and RB Felix Jones hobbled, w/ Romo playing most of the game w/ cracked ribs, Dallas still somehow managed the following against your NFCE-beating juggernaut:
The Cowboys D, with a depleted secondary, held SF to 206 total yards and 14 1st downs, while posting six sacks. The Cowboys, despite playing w/out Bryant and Jones limited to 10 touches, and w/ Romo hurting, still racked up 472 yards and 20 1st downs. Harbaugh has done a great job, and your D is very good (Willis is a tremendous LB), but despite the Cowboys continuing issues on the O-line, playing SF in Candlestick in January does not scare me. GB in Lambeau? Cowboys have NO chance.
@itzpacmanx9 Wow u must b at least 9 years old with your Beavis n Butthead turkey ass... Uhhh huh huh 49ers like suck uhhh huh huh... The Cowbitches have been collecting 49er greats like Haley, TO, etc but the Niners suck huh huh like... Maybe f your cow shit smelling owner dropped another $Billion on players, u could make another first round playoff exit with your choker QB choking in the 4thQ again.
Just so you can be historically accurate (if indeed you have any desire to be so), Dallas has never sought a SF player via FA other than Deion Sanders. Dallas acquired Charles Haley via trade in 92. Terrell Owens came as a FA following his stint with the Eagles. DeBartolo went out prior to the 94 season and bought his defense for the singular purpose of beating Dallas. When J. Jones got Sanders in 95, he hamstrung the Cowboys viz a viz the salary cap.
Actually the Cowboys are 5-2 against the niners and 3-2 at San Francisco. My favorite game was the divisional game in 1972 when the Cowboys were down 21-3 in the first half and 28-16 in the fourth quarter with two minutes remaining and rallied to win 30-28. Roger Staubach took off his ankle cast, arm cast and neck brace and came off the bench to lead the Cowboys. Roger is the original and best Captain Comeback.
@IWillStompYouOut What the hell are you smoking? You have to be like 15 years old max if you think Manning, Moss and Dawkins are the best at those positions. Manning is the 3rd best QB behind Montana and Brady, Moss is a distant 2nd behind Rice and Dawkins doesn't even come close to Lott. Vince Lombardi had very few teams in his teams, Walsh had 18 future NFL coaches under his wing... all at the same time and won more Super Bowls than Lombardi.
Both Niners n Cowboys have 5 Superbowls each, so there's no point trying to put each other down. As a diehard Niner, I miss the hell outta that rivalry of the early 90s. Since 1995, both teams have been racing to the bottom so no one should b jawing. F today was 1995, we'd b arguing about 1979. Think about that. Let's just hope we renew the rivalry by winning!
@PakhtunSupremacist...well said. The whole point of me posting this video is because this is one of my favorite games to look back on and watch as a Cowboy fan, as crazy as it sounds with it being a loss, but they went out like Champs. Some of these nitwits on here don't get that. This rivalry was one of the greatest in NFL history. This was the Super Bowl. Some of these Niners fans on here making comments were probably in 2nd grade when this game was played.
@Mr1979longhorn Troy Aikman was on the radio last week talking about something interesting..They were talking about the so called shutdown cornerbacks of today..And what he fear the most(like in this game) was Deion covering their number 2 receiver(Harper) and Irvin being doubled all day..Because number 1 CB's usually cover the number 1 receiver..So he was basically saying WHY DON'T DEFENSES USE THAT STRATEGY???
@PakhtunSupremacist 49ERS SUCKK!!! dont ever say both teams have been racing to the bottom because we actually go to the playoffs unlike the niners that can win a game with the easiest schedule and division in all of the NFL. takes you guys this long to finally do something and even still yall suck cause you guys suck against good teams on your schedule. i guess when you play the rams twice and the bucks twice oh and add in the browns and the seahawks a couple games too. lmao thats hardcore lol
As a little kid and now as a teen i always was aCowboy fan and Saints fan.......i used to think i was a 9niners fan but now i see i wasn't i still admire the franchise but i was only a fan cuz of players like T.O. and Steve Young but i do love the niners but as a true fan i always stayed with the Cowboys.......they are ok this year......Romo is a descent QB.And as for the Niners they are hot too this yr.
@tracyisbest U don't get to b prom queen f u r a midget. Only the finest piece of ass gets voted in. F that's the case, u also beat Miami (Marino-less), Denver (Elway-less), perennial losers Bills x2, n NOT team of decade Pitt. Not to mention in the '80s all powerhouses were from NFC that Niners had to go thru in the playoffs.
@gntluvr Niners have 14, counting YA Tittle who also played for the Colts and the Giants. So if you want to count players that played for other teams as well, Ok i'll give you Deion too, that's 15. So if that's the case Dallas has 16...12 Players that played there whole career with Dallas and Ditka (played 4 years with Dallas and won a SB), Lance Alworth (played 2 yrs w/ Dallas and won a SB), Herb Adderley (played 3 yrs w/ Dallas & won a SB) & Deion Sanders.
@PrimeTimePlayer519 Who won the head to head match up this year?? We'll see at the end of the season where they both stand. A lot of games left to be played.
@DeJohn2 Michael Vick beat the Cowboys worse than his dogs. You're welcome for your 34-7 beating. - Andy Reid. 49ers 6-1, Cowboys 3-4. You guys won't even make the playoffs, if you pull off a miracle and make it, you'll have to come out to Candlestick and get your whippin'!
@xaqshuna2003 I would to see them make the playoffs and play those frauds on that shit field in front of those wine drinking, cheese eating fans. The season is a marathon not a sprint. Last time I check they don't give out trophies for 7-1 records at the mid way point of the season.
@DeJohn2 ...so you mean you guys don't get one for choking every year!? You should get two for not being able hold a football for a kick. Romo's a typical choker. You cowgirls aren't going anywhere. COWBOYS = HYPE
Your win against the Niners was all you have to hang your hat on all year. You don't want to play us in the playoffs, that is IF you make the playoffs this year son. Romo will wilt against us and we won't even have to break his ribs again. Although, I wouldn't mind it if we did.
Romo wilt against you? With cracked ribs, no Dez Bryant and no Laurent Robinson, he put up some pretty good numbers in September, I'd say. Dallas came into Candlestick with a hobbled and depleted secondary and outgained you guys 472-206. I look forward to a return trip to the Bay area. I know Dallas is not SB-caliber this year and there is virtually no way Dallas can beat GB in Lambeau. That said, the Cowboys can match up on road vs SF. It would be a good game.
Yeah, you fuck the prom queen every time, especially when the queen's a midget! (ie: Denver/Miami/Cincinnati) Try beating another team vying for team of the decade like the Steelers in the big game, then you might find the 'niners don't quite run the table every time. LOL @ U though for thinking the AFC was some kind of real conference back in your heyday. Thanks for playing!
@tracyisbest Yeh cuz u get to choose who plays against u in the superbowl. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit! What team of the decades did u beat? Pittsburg? How many superbowls did they win in the 90's to be vying for the team of the decade? ZERO. I'm sure you're not referring to the 1970's when they WERE the team of the decade and they handed your ass to you twice. Watching this video put together by a Cowboys fan, I bet you've convinced yourself that Dallas actually won those games.
@zimerust I am a die hard niners fan and we all probably shouldnt be so cocky right now, but its kind of hard to not since we havent had anything to brag about since 2002.We were a better, even the best franchise when Debartolo Jr was heading the franchise.I think he is the one who is telling Jed York what moves to make and getting Harbaugh has obviously shaped the same team Nolan and Singletary couldnt.I think Dallas makes it into the playoffs and we 49ers gonna meet them and Green Bay.
The NFL was just so awesome then.

Oh, and I just remembered, at the time (1994-95) I blamed the performance on the Cowboys throwback uniforms. Hey, I was young and naive...But they NEVER seemed to play well in those or the road "Dark Blues"

Cowboy Fan here...Most painful loss I ever felt. Down 21-0 before the crunch of my first chip. However, Aikman said it was the finest game the 90's Cowboys ever played as far as pride goes. Larry Brown couldn't hang with Jerry Rice.
Regardless, both teams were warriors...

In my opinion, these 49ers and these Cowboys had their best unifoems that season. Basically a game with those two teams was an NFC Pro Bowl scrimage, so special uniforms were appropriate.

We simply do not have that kindda pass rush. Let's c how it goes down. In any case, it's been a helluva ride. I'm hoping n praying for a 90s type of rivalry between our teams again.

Thanks for all your kind and gracious remarks, and I'm sorry for being out of the loop for a couple of weeks. You must be excited! Home field for the NFC championship game instead of a road trip to Lambeau. I have to say I was impressed (even surprised) that Alex Smith won what turned out to be a shoot-out against Drew Brees. The Niners are sniffing another SB appearance. It should be a great game. Your D is really solid, and Vernon Davis is as good as I thought he'd be.
Asahel717 1 month ago
@Asahel717 Just an FYI, I believe the 49ers had to battle against serious NFC opponents such as the Bears, Giants, Redskins, n even occasional decent Rams teams, to become team of the 80s. In the 90s the Cowboys' only real NFC competition was the Niners until GB came along in the second half of the decade. The rest of the NFC was garbage by all practical matter.
PakhtunSupremacist 2 months ago
@PakhtunSupremacist
Good points. I enjoy conversing with you. You know your stuff. Yes, 80s 49ers beat very good NFC teams to get to their SBs. I think they played better teams in the NFC playoffs than in the SBs. The 84 and 89 teams were very special - among the best ever. Dallas did play in a division with the winners of SBs XXV and XXVI, the Niners were clearly a superior team and GB wasjust starting to make noise. Dallas did beat GB in 95, 1 yr before GB won it all.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@Asahel717 I bet my life f Elvis Grbac played in some of those championship games over Young, they'd b closer than they were, f not at least one of them ending a W for us. I'm just saying Young would panic n run. The best conclusion would b is the Niners were team of the 80s n Cowboys team of the 90s. Both won 5 SBs each n both r chasing Pitt.
PakhtunSupremacist 2 months ago
@PakhtunSupremacist
You know, Grbac really played well vs Dallas. I think Young had a hard time vs the Cowboys front four, which was fast and active (and they were eight deep, so they were always fresh). Even in the 94 Championship win, Young did not post big numbers vs Dallas. Other than Deion Sanders, I think Cowboys LCB Kevin Smith played Rice as well as anyone I'd ever seen. Smith ran a 4.35 and was physical. Grbac was another Michigan QB (I'm a UM fan).
Asahel717 2 months ago
@PakhtunSupremacist
I think you guys are in better position to win no. 6 first. Your D is hands down better than ours. Harbaugh is a great motivator. Your O-line is solid. SF just needs a big QB. I think if you had Romo, you guys could really make a lot of noise this year. SF can beat any NFC team at home, even New Orleans if you can pressure Brees. But it is going to be hard for anyone to go to Lambeau. Rodgers is just unconscious this year. BTW, I truly hate Pittsburgh.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@Asahel717 It still sickens me to this day that in the 92 game stupid Seifert didn't go to Montana in the second half. We'd never know what it could have been. U gotta admit that Young's play in big games were always mediocre at best. He beat up on the Rams n Falcons all year but laid an egg against Dallas, GB, etc. Troy Aikman hands down fir me.
PakhtunSupremacist 2 months ago
@PakhtunSupremacist
I must admit, I wonder the same thing. Montana was Mr. Clutch. Makes me think of SB V when Dallas played the Baltimore Colts (who were still fuming over their loss to the Jets two years earlier). Craig Morton was playing poorly and the Dallas D was keeping them in the game. Staubach was on the sidelines. His scrambling alone could have given Bubba Smith, Mike Curtis and that entire D fits. I agree, you have to question Seifert's decision.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@Asahel717 Also let's not forget the 95 reg season thrashing at Dallas with Elvis Grbac at the helm after Emmitt Smith guaranteed a victory. That Cowboys team was practically the same team n healthy plus Deion where as we were minus Deion n Steve Young but still won. As for Steve Young vs Troy Aikman, I'd b the first Niners fan to tell u that Aikmzn was better than Young. Rest assured Niners losses to Cowboys were as much on Young as on the D.
PakhtunSupremacist 2 months ago
@Asahel717 I read everything u wrote n I hear u loud n clear. The 94 Cowboys might have been a more talented team on O-line, D, running back, etc, n hobbled up in the NFC Championship game but let's not forget that even when they were healthy they lost 21-14 in the reg season that year to the Niners. So we may not have played best of seven but we took the best of two.
PakhtunSupremacist 2 months ago
I would like to know one things, and I will preface this by stating that I am not necessarily saying Aikman was better than Steve Young, but why is Terry Bradshaw often regarded as a better QB than Roger Staubach, largely on the basis of SB wins and yet Aikman is not considered better than Young? Aikman has 3 rings to 1 for Young. Young's stats are far better but with Aikman's accuracy and laser arm, he'd have posted huge numbers in a West Coast offense. Just food for thought for Dall/SF fans...

@PakhtunSupremacist
DeBartolo knew Haley had become a cancer in the 49ers locker room. He was discontented playing there. Jimmy Johnson wanted Haley and convinced Jerry Jones to take a chance on him. Johnson thought he could control Haley and he knew he was a playmaker. Haley could be shut down for three quarters, but he would suddenly make a key play in the 4th quarter, and Johnson wanted that type of player. Sanders was all about money, hopping from SF to Dallas for money.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@Pakhtun,
The 94 Cowboys were better on defense and in the running game than the 94 49ers. On D, the Cowboys were no. 3 in pts allowed, no. 1 in total yds allowed, no. 1 in sacks, no. 1 in passing yds allowed, no. 1 in net yd/pass attempt, no. 4 in INTs, no. 3 in rush TDs allowed, no. 8 in pass TDs allowed, no. 10 in rush yds allowed, no. 9 in yds/rush attempt. They replaced Ken Norton at LB and did not skip a beat. Seifert gets coaching edge over Switzer, not over Jimmy Johnson.

@Asahel717 Btw, there's no doubt that the 92-93 Cowboys were better than the 49ers of those years with better defense, running game, n coaching. In 94, the Niners were better. I agree we brought in a defense specifically to stop Dallas n it worked. Wouldn't u b accepting f Dallas did the same against, say Pittsburgh in the 70s, to help u beat them? The point is I accept that Dallas was better for 2 years but u guys keep making excuses about 94 even to this day.
PakhtunSupremacist 2 months ago
@PakhtunSupremacist
What I will still contend is the 94 Cowboys O-line could have been the greatest OL in NFL history. Erik Williams was the best RT in football. He injured his knee on Oct 24th in a car wreck. That forced Larry Allen to tackle. Derek Kennard was a good RG but the Cowboys envisioned Allen at RG alongside Williams at RT. Allen made All Pro at G and T, a testament to his greatness. But the Cowboys did not get to match up Allen vs LDT Bryant Young. (cont.)
Asahel717 2 months ago
@PakhtunSupremacist
The Niners strength on the D-line was their tackles, Young and Stubblefield. LG Nate Newton and Stubblefield was a good battle, maybe a stalemate. Young was bigger and stronger than Stubblefield, but he could not come close to matching Allen in size and strength (no one could). In the NFC Championship, Allen was injured. There were concerns he could even play vs the 49ers. He badly hurt his ankle vs the Packers, a 35-9 Dallas win a week earlier.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@PakhtunSupremacist
The Dallas O-line was not at its peak going into that game. The Niners front four never had to face the best Cowboys linemen on the field at the same time that year. Allen vs LDE Dennis Brown was a big Dallas advantage but Erik Williams also would have owned him. Emmitt was playing with a bad R. hamstring for a month. He was not at 100% and on a muddy field vs a very good front seven, the Cowboys ground game was controlled all day.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@PakhtunSupremacist
The 49ers won that day, and were better that day, but even with the additions of Sanders and Ricky Jackson, I still believe Dallas was more talented and the better team. In one game eliminations, the better team does not always win. In a seven game series - World Series, NBA and NHL championships - the better team nearly always wins. I guess we have to agree to disagree in a civil manner.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@PakhtunSupremacist
Yes, I agree... if somehow Deion Sanders played in the 70s and the Cowboys had a chance to get him, I would have been very happy with that outcome. Dallas would have put Sanders on Lynn Swan in SBs X/XIII, and Swan would not have made the Hall of Fame. Swan's greatness was most evident in big games (his career stats were nothing compared to Andre Reed's stats), and he lit up Mark Washington and Aaron Kyle. The 78 Cowboys lacked 1 thing: a shutdown CB.

@Asahel717 Yes, u did beat us this year w/o Bryant but we didn't have our best DB, Goldson, either. Felix wouldn't have helped u against us n u know it as nobody really runs against us.

Felix would be more effective in the passing game - circle routes, screens. Yes, running on the Niners this year is very hard to do. I don't think we will see you guys in the playoffs. I doubt Dallas beats NYG. Manning plays well vs the Cowboys. If Dallas got in, I think they'd beat Detroit but not Atlanta. I think the NFC title game will be GB hosting SF or NO, with GB winning and advancing. I don't think the Niners could put up enough pts in Lambeau.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@Asahel717 Just so U know, trading for Niners rather than signing them as FAs proves my point further that Dallas has always gone for Niner players. Debartolo didn't go out prior to the 94 season. I don't even know what you're talking about. He was there at least five more years. Yes, we've been NFCE killers this year with a 75% win pct against it n the same as against AFCN--the toughest Div in NFL.

@asahel, I agree that The 92 Cowboys may have beaten the ' 85 Bears.Not convinced as you are, though, but if any Super Bowl winner I've seen in my time (I'm 45), I'd say it was them or the ' 93 team. Marino had a solid O-line in front of him during that time as Aikman did 7 years later, so The Cowboys probably would have put up alot of points. 38 points is ALOT to give up, regardless, and that Bears D did against Miami.
BalladOfThinMan 2 months ago
People also forget the Cowboys played in the NFL's premier division - the NFC East - at that time. From 1986-95, a span of 10 yrs, teams from the NFC East won SEVEN Super Bowls. That has never happened before and may never again in this era of free agency. The 49ers played in the NFC West, which did not have a legitimate SB contender, other than SF, until the 1999 Rams. And fans who've followed the NFC East thru the years know it's a physical division where each game is a war unlike the NFCW.
Asahel717 2 months ago
I am convinced the 92 Cowboys would have beaten the 85 Bears. The Cowboys were one of the few SB teams that could win the trench wars vs that Bears team. The 94 Cowboys (assuming a healthy Erik Williams) would have been more devastating. Williams outplayed Reggie White, from 1992-1995. Dan Hampton was great, but he was NOT Reggie White. Larry Allen would have destroyed DLT Steve McMichael. And give me Nate Newton vs William Perry. I also like LT Mark Tuinei vs Richard Dent.
Asahel717 2 months ago
From 1992-95, the Dallas Cowboys went 10-1 in the playoffs, winning three SBs. Against GB, SF and Buffalo, the Cowboys went 7-1, outscoring those teams by a margin of 278-161 -- by MORE THAN 2 TDs per game. The Cowboys did this vs three future HOF QBs, Favre, Young and Kelly. Contrast this with the 85 Bears (whom many consider the best team of all time), who beat the likes of Tony Eason, Deiter Brock and Phil Simms in the playoffs. Really? Tony Eason and Deiter Brock? Deiter Brock?
Asahel717 2 months ago
People here post trash about the Cowboys. They fail to look at the NFL through an historical lens. Great teams fall and miss their chance at fame or even lengedary status because of the way the playoffs pan out and the teams they must face. As I posted earlier, the 49ers in 5 SBs not once played an opponent even remotely on par with the 75 or 78 Steelers that beat the Cowboys by four pts each time. If the 75 or 78 Cowboys had played one of the 49er SB opponents, they'd be 7-1 in SB appearances.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@Asahel717
*legendary status.
The Cowboys kept the 49ers out of 4 SBs. Those Niner teams would certainly have won 2 of those SBs (92, 93) but it is questionable whether John Brodie's teams would have beaten the 70 Colts or 71 Dolphins (the same team which went 17-0 in 72). The 49ers kept the Cowboys out of 2 SBs, which Dallas surely would have won vs the 81 Bengals and 94 Chargers. The 49ers routed a Denver team that eveyone routed - Elway's teams lost SBs by 39-20, 42-10, 55-10 scores.
Asahel717 2 months ago
Yeah, The Cowboys had a great O-line soon after the thrashing The Eagles gave in early ' 91 with 11 sacks in one game. Since then, it got better and better. Not taking away from Aikman nor Emitt, but they wouldn't have been as effective without that great O-line. Barry Sanders never had an O-line nearly as good. Imagine if he had.
BalladOfThinMan 2 months ago
@BalladOfThinMan
You're right. Early in the 91 season, the Eagles killed the Cowboys, 24-0, and ahd 11 sacks, 4.5 by Clyde Simmons. Erik Williams, a rookie RT, held Reggie White to one sack on a day when the Eagles D imposed its will. That Philly front four was one of the best ever: White, Simmons, DTs Mike Golic and the late Jerome Brown, who could have had an Hall of Fame career (he was killed in a car crash in the summer of 1992). After that, the Dall OL was lights out.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@Asahel717, you're a sensible and informed Cowboys fan. I'm neither a Cowboys or 49ers fan, but I've always enjoyed watching them play. I agree that the '78 Cowboys team would have beaten the teams you've mentioned. I also feel the 1981 Cowboys team that was one point short of being in the Super Bowl, would have beaten The Bengals that year. I do feel the '92 team was one of the best I've seen.

@BalladOfThinMan
Thanks, and you are an obviously knowledgable football fan. I, too, believe the 81 Cowboys would have easily beaten Cincinnati in the SB. Dallas' front four would have lost one matchup in that game, RDE Harvey Martin vs LT Anthony Munoz (who was the best offensive tackle I've seen in 40+ years of watching football). SF won that game 26-20 (thanks largely to a goal line stand), but I think the Dallas D would have held that team to 14 pts.

Also, every Dallas SB team -- 71, 77, 78, 92, 93, 95 teams -- except for the 70 team which lost SB V to the Colts would have beaten the Bengals teams led by Kenny Anderson and Boomer Esiason, the 84 Dolphins, or the 89 Broncos. And the 94 Chargers were not even the best AFC team that year (Pittsburgh was better). Stan Humpries at QB? Are you serious? The 71, 77 and 92 Cowboys would have held that SD team to under 13 pts. The 49ers beat better teams in the NFC than they met in the SB each year.
Asahel717 2 months ago
Well, two more posts. I've heard Niner fans rip the 92/93 Bills as being weak SB opponents while talking about the 55-10 beatdown SF gave the 89 Broncos. Well, the 86 and 87 Broncos were whipped by a combined 81-30 in SB losses to Wash/NYG. Washington racked up 600+ total yds while Simms, who was not a HOF QB, was 22 of 25 for 288 yds, 3 TDs vs Denver. And, prior to having T. Davis, Elway did nothing in 3 SB blowouts.
Asahel717 2 months ago
My final post. The 94 Cowboys had the potential to be the greatest team in Dallas history. That is the year they drafted Larry Allen, who would go on to be one of the two greatest guards in NFL history. Prior to his knee injury, RT Erik Williams was the premier RT in the game. He is the only tackle I've ever seen who could dominate Reggie White for long stretches. He was good after his injury, but never what he was prior to it. If he wasn't injured, Williams would be joining LA in Canton.
Asahel717 2 months ago
@docgeri
If the 78 Cowboys had faced either of the Cincinnati Bengal teams, or the 84 Dolphins or the 89 Broncos, they'd have ripped ANY of those teams. The 49ers O-line did not have to face Pittsburgh's front seven at their peak. I think Cross, Sapulo, Barton and those guys would have gotten killed vs Joe Green, L.C. Greenwood, Jack Lambert, etc.
The Cowboys kept the 49ers out of FOUR SBs... I guess the Niners stayed home from the prom quite a bit.
Pure genius...
Asahel717 2 months ago
@docgeri
The Cowboys are 5-3 in SBs, not 5-4. The Cowboys and 49ers have met six times to decide the NFC Championship. The Cowboys won four of those six contests. The only embarrassment in Dallas' SB history is losing SB V to the Colts in a turnover-plagued game. Even then, Dave Manders DID recover a fumble in the endzone which the refs missed, taking away what would have been a 20-6 halftime lead. And so you know, the 49ers NEVER faced a SB opponent even remotely close to the 75/78 Steelers.
Asahel717 2 months ago
I have just one question to the 49er fans out there. Let me qualify that: I have one question to the reasonable, rational and fairly intelligent 49er fans out there who can post a reply without it being profanity laced.
Would you have rather won THREE SBs during this four year stretch when both teams were clearly the class of the entire NFL, or ONE?
I thought so...
Asahel717 2 months ago
I have no doubt that had Johnson stayed, the Cowboys would have won at least 4 straight SBs. And without FA to deplete a deep and talented roster, the 90s Cowboys would be considered the elite dynasty of all time. As it is, I'd still pit the 92, 93 or 94 Cowboys head to head vs the 78 Steelers, 84 49ers, 85 Bears, 2004 Patriots. I think Dallas beats any of those teams. I think the 89 49ers would be the team to give the 92 Cowboys the hardest time, but LCB Kevin Smith played Jerry Rice very well.
Asahel717 2 months ago
Williams returned in 95 but he lacked the lateral movement that made him the best pass blocking RT in football for the three previous seasons. Allen would move to LG and prove to be one of the two greatest guards in NFL history (John Hannah, the other). What I believe hurt Dallas most in 94 was Johnson's departure. The team lost its swaggar and its focus. Switzer could not hold that locker room together and he could not keep that team poised and confident vs a great SF team.
Asahel717 2 months ago
Also, while the 49ers were no doubt a great team in 94 (bought or not), the Cowboys were a hobbling team in Candlestick for this game. Emmitt Smith played for four weeks with an aggravated hamstring injury. In the rout over GB the week prior, RT Larry Allen rolled his ankle, forcing him to hobble for three quarters and then to the bench. In Oct, starting RT suffered season ending injuries in a car crash, forcing Allen from RG to RT. The Allen-Williams combo was on its way to greatness.

If free agency hadn't began in 1993, there would be no conversation which team was better in 1994. SF added Cowboys LB Ken Norton, Jr., Deion Sanders and other notable defensive players in 94. The Cowboys continued to lose key players from 93-96. The Cowboys had drafted and stockpiled depth like no other team in the league. FA and the rift between Jimmy Johnson and owner Jerry Jones kept Dallas from winning four or five consecutive SBs.

@itzpacmanx9 Yeh the Niners have made the playoffs once in nine years but that's what u get when u can't pay anyone due to stupid management of salary cap. Play the Bucks twice? What city r they from, Milwaukee? Yeh the NFC West is soft but f u weren't a moron, you'd know that the Niners were 8-1 before they played their 2nd divisional game this season. Including the mopping up of your hardcore NFC East

@PakhtunSupremacist
The NFCE is down this year, no one can deny that. Historically, it is the best division in football, having sent 19 teams to the SB, winning 11. And yes, SF has taken care of the NFCE this year... except for Dallas. W/out 2 of our corners and Dez Bryant, w/ CB Mike Jenkins and RB Felix Jones hobbled, w/ Romo playing most of the game w/ cracked ribs, Dallas still somehow managed the following against your NFCE-beating juggernaut:
Asahel717 2 months ago
The Cowboys D, with a depleted secondary, held SF to 206 total yards and 14 1st downs, while posting six sacks. The Cowboys, despite playing w/out Bryant and Jones limited to 10 touches, and w/ Romo hurting, still racked up 472 yards and 20 1st downs. Harbaugh has done a great job, and your D is very good (Willis is a tremendous LB), but despite the Cowboys continuing issues on the O-line, playing SF in Candlestick in January does not scare me. GB in Lambeau? Cowboys have NO chance.

@itzpacmanx9 Wow u must b at least 9 years old with your Beavis n Butthead turkey ass... Uhhh huh huh 49ers like suck uhhh huh huh... The Cowbitches have been collecting 49er greats like Haley, TO, etc but the Niners suck huh huh like... Maybe f your cow shit smelling owner dropped another $Billion on players, u could make another first round playoff exit with your choker QB choking in the 4thQ again.

@PakhtunSupremacist
Just so you can be historically accurate (if indeed you have any desire to be so), Dallas has never sought a SF player via FA other than Deion Sanders. Dallas acquired Charles Haley via trade in 92. Terrell Owens came as a FA following his stint with the Eagles. DeBartolo went out prior to the 94 season and bought his defense for the singular purpose of beating Dallas. When J. Jones got Sanders in 95, he hamstrung the Cowboys viz a viz the salary cap.
Asahel717 2 months ago
Actually the Cowboys are 5-2 against the niners and 3-2 at San Francisco. My favorite game was the divisional game in 1972 when the Cowboys were down 21-3 in the first half and 28-16 in the fourth quarter with two minutes remaining and rallied to win 30-28. Roger Staubach took off his ankle cast, arm cast and neck brace and came off the bench to lead the Cowboys. Roger is the original and best Captain Comeback.

@IWillStompYouOut What the hell are you smoking? You have to be like 15 years old max if you think Manning, Moss and Dawkins are the best at those positions. Manning is the 3rd best QB behind Montana and Brady, Moss is a distant 2nd behind Rice and Dawkins doesn't even come close to Lott. Vince Lombardi had very few teams in his teams, Walsh had 18 future NFL coaches under his wing... all at the same time and won more Super Bowls than Lombardi.

Both Niners n Cowboys have 5 Superbowls each, so there's no point trying to put each other down. As a diehard Niner, I miss the hell outta that rivalry of the early 90s. Since 1995, both teams have been racing to the bottom so no one should b jawing. F today was 1995, we'd b arguing about 1979. Think about that. Let's just hope we renew the rivalry by winning!

@PakhtunSupremacist...well said. The whole point of me posting this video is because this is one of my favorite games to look back on and watch as a Cowboy fan, as crazy as it sounds with it being a loss, but they went out like Champs. Some of these nitwits on here don't get that. This rivalry was one of the greatest in NFL history. This was the Super Bowl. Some of these Niners fans on here making comments were probably in 2nd grade when this game was played.

@Mr1979longhorn Troy Aikman was on the radio last week talking about something interesting..They were talking about the so called shutdown cornerbacks of today..And what he fear the most(like in this game) was Deion covering their number 2 receiver(Harper) and Irvin being doubled all day..Because number 1 CB's usually cover the number 1 receiver..So he was basically saying WHY DON'T DEFENSES USE THAT STRATEGY???

Romo wilt against you? With cracked ribs, no Dez Bryant and no Laurent Robinson, he put up some pretty good numbers in September, I'd say. Dallas came into Candlestick with a hobbled and depleted secondary and outgained you guys 472-206. I look forward to a return trip to the Bay area. I know Dallas is not SB-caliber this year and there is virtually no way Dallas can beat GB in Lambeau. That said, the Cowboys can match up on road vs SF. It would be a good game.
