Ah, yeah, back when teams truly hated each other and wouldn't be caught dead swapping jerseys after the game.
When they played hard no matter what and really had a rivalry and hurt each other
Gary Clutch Clark yes sir!
Time has changed kids today's are fans of each other because of the Madden games.
When men had testosterone
Nowadays teams beat them no cap
Back when jerry stayed the hell out of the locker room, it was truly jimmy Johnson team, the good old days,
Back when having a good Defense mattered
@Underground Guy Yess sirrr free agency ended that but it was a good run
@Underground Guy It was a top 2 defense. Number 1 defense in 92 and 94. Number 2 defense in 93 and 95.
@Underground Guy it only took them 25 years to realize it. You can't win diddly if you don't have a top Defense
I kinda dig the fact that Ken Norton Jr. was the first guy to win three rings in a row. Shoulda kept him. (He picked up another as the Seahawks linebacker coach.)
We were stupid deep at safety too.
49ers vs cowboys were some of the best games I ever seen.
Interesting but none of those games were that close.
Got to go to where it all started: NFC Championship..."Montana...looking...looking...TD Clark!"...& the rivalry began.
@@bernieudo4399 Actually go back to the early 70s. Dallas played San Francisco in the playoffs 3 years in row, winning hard fought games each time. In 1972 Staubach had been out all year with an injury. He was finally healthy but rusty and not expected to play. They put him in out of desperation because the 49ers had a big lead late. Staubach scored 2 TDs in the last minute and a half for a 30-28 Cowboys win, launching his "Captain Comeback" legend.
@@bernieudo4399, Montana was throwing that ball to the stands. Credit Clarke eith a great grab who was being defended by my all time favorite and greatest Dallas Cowboys cornerback, Everson Walls.
No, Deion Sanders is NOT the Cowboys greatest defensive back
Everson Walls, Dennis Thurman,Ron Fellows ,Michael Downs..... together they were Thurman's Thieves
They also had another name for the defensive backfield years earlier when Charlie Waters anchored the corners and safeties....Charlie's Angels
That championship game devastated me.
I thought for sure we'd be playing the Chargers
I was wrong on both accounts
Montana GOAT: (4) SBs w/o FG assist, "0" pics, "0" losses. Always covered. 💥
This was a great time in Sports history!! Dallas Cowboys were dominant winning Superbowls. Michael Jordan was busy winning NBA Championships.
And yet they lost 4 games
And baseball was busy striking!!🤪
Justin Young Yeah, lost their first two games because they didn’t have Emmitt, as Jerry Jones refused to sign him until after they lost to Buffalo in game 2 of that season (After Charles Haley threw a frightening postgame tantrum in the locker room demanding Jones sign Emmitt), and the Miami game on Thanksgiving day when Leon Lett single-handedly lost the game on the blocked field goal blunder. So, legitimately this Cowboy team was only beaten once that year.
you sound like front runner
Jordan was off to play baseball
I miss this era of football.
I look at the Dallas Cowboys of the nineties as the last true Dynasty.
What New England is doing is great, but the last few years I've been under the reluctant idea that my favorite sport in the world is....ooooh this hurts, should I even say it? Ever since Roger Goodell took office, there's been quite a number of over~compelling games, that a lot of times go down to the last second.
I really want to believe that ther players are actually really playing. I di believe they are, but........ I'm of the opinion that the referees are not being 100 percent honest with all of us
I hope my father doesn't see this here, he's from Dover, New Hampshire.
He loves telling me that they've got more than we do
I say, yes you do, but ours are for real
I agree. Back when football was actually football. QBs didn’t cry like little babies and receivers didn’t complain about getting interfered with as much, they just played the game. Those were fun times watching football.
@@SamuelDavidDeLuzeNesbitt The Patriots have the greatest dynasty in NFL history. Let's not forget that they won 3 Super Bowls when football was still football, all while having a salary cap. Don't blame them for the league becoming soft the past 5-10 years.
@@SamuelDavidDeLuzeNesbitt The Patriots have also played far better competition. Especially in the Super Bowl.
Same 😎🏈💯
Just keep in mind Emmitt Smith played this game and the entire postseason after dislocating his right shoulder in the regular season finale.
Even with the extra bye week to rest, that had to of hurt. Major respect to him.
And won Super Bowl MVP on it. Just incredible.
I remember that regular season finale against the Giants when Emmitt injured his shoulder, He had 168yds on 32 carries and Dallas won the NFC East, And those were the days of that hard artificial turf in the cold, Not like the surface today, Just imagine getting tackled on that with a separated shoulder.
greatest rb of all time imo
TheAlfrulz Yep just another reason he’s the 🐐.
Tony Dorsett was my hero growing up and was truly the most exciting running back ive ever seen until Barry Sanders came along.
A lot of bashing of Emmitt Smith, because of his offensive line he ran behind. But il say this, Emmitt Smith had great skill and vision and would run you the fuck over.
THE NFL is a pussy fake league now. Thanks Roger Goodell, you fucked over the true fans of the game
You can fool all those unknowledgable fans who don't know Xs and Os, but you're not fooling me
This was the peak of 90's Cowboys
A lot of legends on the field right here. You've got to respect it
Die hard Cowboys fan here....I think this is the BEST the Cowboys have looked EVER....that 49ers team was VERY formidable...and Dallas just demolished them....
Nuked them.
Niners fan here. Looks like they didn't have a good defense and they didn't show up on offense either. It's all good they were both great teams during that decade.
The 49ers had no chance. Had they won buffalo would have spanked them. Needed free agency to fix defense
@@justinyoung8062 I'm not sure about that, I think they would make it competitive.
Yeah, thats why the niners went out and bought Deion, Norton Jr, Rickey Jackson cause they couldn't stop Dallas. In this 93 title game, I don't know if Aikman even had an incompletion at halftime....
Worst mistake Jerry ever made was getting rid of Jimmy. Jimmy in my opinion was the best drafting coach ever. Dude was smart as hell, and his players truly loved him. No telling how many super bowls this team would have won had Jimmy stayed.
Jimmy Johnson is about the only coach who transferred well from coaching college to the NFL…And win back to back Super Bowls…Correction, THE only coach
The would haven't won anymore than they did. Cuz the next year young was playing great that year then after the last Superbowl the team started breaking down so they won't have won anymore than they did
Passing up on Randy Moss would like to have a word with you.
@@jameshall9873 that’s a bad argument.
@@jameshall9873 they would have won 4 in a row at least. They lost the 1st year jimmy left then won again the following year. They wouldn't have lost that 3rd run at it. After that tho who knows
Man I miss Summerall and Madden calling games together..
KAL EL Me too.
The best announcing team of all time periods
Madden and Summerall were the best.
I actually miss Enberg and Olson too. The 80s and 90s announcers were sooooo much better than todays screaming "I CANT BELIEVE IT... OMG !!!" (Joe Buck 🤮🤮) garbage. I can barely watch anymore.
Here here !!!
What's summer all and madden what u mean
Nothing beats watching some old nfl highlights at 12:30 in the morning!
I'm doing the same at the same time of day. 👍🏾
This was the last NFC playoff game televised on CBS until the 2020 NFC Wild Card round between the Bears and Saints.
Cowboys had one of the greatest NFL history’s and dynasties
Then Jerry fucked it all up. Look at what he has done since he ran Jimmy off. Fucking sad!
I’d put them against Brady and the Patriots, Montana and the 80s 9ers and the 70s Steelers
Aikman has to be the MOST UNDER RATED QB ever. Dude was smart, tuff, vocal when needed and so damn accurate. He was my childhood idol. I had his braums life size poster in my room. I was lucky and got to meet most the cowboys when I was a kid in the early 90’s. ❤️
I still have Aikman Poster that's say strongest arm of the law
Would have had legendary numbers if he didn’t have the all time leading rusher in the backfield
@@jasonhays2448 still a legendary number
growing up in Los Angeles following UCLA football, i was well aware how great Aikman was. happy he had a Hall of fame NFL career. but the Jimmy Johnson Cowboys had a handful of UCLA standouts. Aikman, Norton Jr, James Washington and Mark Tuinei come to mind
I got Aikman’s autograph after his rookie season. He was signing autographs at the grand opening of Incredible Universe in Arlington. I’ll never forget it lol.
Look at the amount of time Aikman had. WALL OF DALLAS! Best OL ever!
Without a doubt......two deep on that OL also. Pre Larry Allen
Emmiitt really was a human highlight real
That 43 yard TD Kosar to Harper. What a catch!
Harper was not going to be denied a td on that slant!!
Credit to Kosar for being a true professional and coming in to replace Aikman. He made some huge throws and completions. I was at this game it was LOUD!
I was there too and it's the loudest Cowboys game I've ever been to!
@@quiquepro69 yeah baby the good old days‼️
Amazing what offensive line protection will do.
I remember sir good point Bernie was great including that incredible throw to Harper what a team I always admired Kosars toughness I am glad he won a Superbowl with Dallas how smart was Dallas picking him up he earned it
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽😊
THE BEST NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AT OLD TEXAS STADIUM. THANK YOU COACH JOHNSON AND COWBOYS. GREAT JOB.
That Dallas D-line killed the 9ers.
Imagine how different the NFL would have been without a salary cap.
Straight up whoopin them
That overhead shot of Texas Stadium 🏟 still gives me goose bumps. J Novachek should be hall of famer.
Lot of men on that field that aren't in the HOF or Ring of Honor that should be. Lot of Landry Era Cowboys that got snubbed that way too.
Man Troy aikman with the accuracy 👌
Troy was very underrated but was a awesome quarterback I miss that team they were special
Airman said he couldn’t remember anything about the game. Concussions will do that to you.
I wish Romo had this line ONE year
Jerry's House is a spectacle but the Cowboy's haven't tasted near the success like they had in old Texas Stadium from 1971-1995. Miss that palace. I remember going to Giants game there in December 2008 and just stayed in my seat long after game was over and just looked around, I truly think I wanted to cry not believing this place would be no longer eventually. Texas Stadium memories will never fade away....
Cowboys - 49ers, Raiders - Steelers, Two of the best postseason rivalries in NFL history.
those are two great rivalries...but the best post season rivalry in NFL history is between the Los Angeles Rams & Dallas Cowboys...check it out..the numbers don't lie
mcubed.net/nfl/mfpm.shtml
@@conni70 just because they played the most doesn't mean that's the best rivalry. Other things factor in, such as what was on the line. They could have been meeting in the first or second round every year. The 49ers/Cowboys and Steelers/Raiders met in AFC and NFC Title games numerous times to decide conference championships, in games that were often times more hyped than the Super Bowl itself
Never forget Bernie Kosar's excellent contribution to this team winning the super bowl. Aikman missed some games in the regular season and Bernie came in and steadied the ship and got some wins, then he came in when Aikman was knocked out of this game and went right to work putting up points keeping the train going. He got himself a ring and it was very much earned.
The '90s. Back when football was a man's game!!!
🤦🏽
@@RamsLakersDodgers What's wrong snowflake?
Man that Cowboys O Line had more attitude than the defense itself!!
From a Steeler...
Agreed.....people forget they drafted Larry Allen AFTER this.....Erik Williams would have been in the HOF if he didn’t get in that car wreck.....he was never the same after that
Not sure if they showed it in this video....but Erik Williams broke Ted Washington’s leg on the opening drive....he hit him so hard
Great comment Steeler
Erik Williams is the greatest O-lineman that never was
Emmitt Smith halfback
-League MVP
-most valuable player of Super Bowl 🏟 XXVIII
1992, ‘93 and ‘94 NFC Title Games WERE the Super Bowl those years. The Bills and Chargers never had a prayer…
Also the last Summerall/Madden CBS game, as they both moved to Fox to start “America’s Game of the Week” after Fox outbid CBS for the NFL
pretty much like the 2018 afc championship game between the patriots and chiefs. that was the real super bowl!
Not really it’s just that y’all faced the wrong team I’m glad the Saints lost but they would have gave the Patriots hell in the super bowl the rams were overrated the bears, eagles, and saints were better than them
@@semionjohnson1351 well it is what it is. what can we do about it?
No way. Bill's much tougher in 93
92 and 93 Bill's would have beaten 49ers. Matchups matter. Thurman Thomas scorched the 9ers. Bill's wanted 9ers to win
Pound for pound one of the greatest teams of all time were these back to back cowboy teams.
This is the last game for Madden Summerall on CBS. They moved to Fox the next year
Last NFL game on CBS until 1998.
I believe this was the game Jimmie Johnson "guaranteed" the cowboys would win. And they did.
Jimmy told the reporter to put in 3" bold print: " We Will Win The Ball Game "
You are correct sir. He heard a local radio station (I wanna say it was KRLD) discussing the possibility of the niners winning, and he called in and said “Put it in 3” headlines: WE WILL WIN THIS GAME.”
@@wesleyantrim6648 "WE WILL WIN THE BALLGAME"
The good old days
yep
Cowboys or nfl or both?
Jonathan Sartin both but mainly cowboys
Robert Soto agreed on both however definitely cowboys 90s cowboys one of the best nfl teams ever and I’m not a cowboys fan but give credit where credit is due
I sure miss this Team of the 90s. No cheating (Spygate, deflate gate), no controversial assistance from referees (Assistance from weak-ass roughing the passer penalties, ridiculous “Tuck Rule” calls, etc.), just mentally tough football. Nobody could hold a candle to the 90s Cowboys . The only thing that defeated this team was Jerry Jones
Dallas was soooo good back then.....Offense was a machine.....Defense was fast and relentless and got a lot of turnovers
Those wet spots on the Old Texas Stadium turf make me so happy. Old School!
Those wet spots cost them a game earlier that year. They played Cleveland, and Novacek slipped on a wet spot at the 5 yard line on 4th down at the end of the game. He woulda walked in for the win otherwise. Probably the most upset I’ve ever been leaving a Cowboys game. That stadium was nasty, and had no character. Whereas the new stadium is beautiful, and also has no character lol.
@@wesleyantrim6648 it was very pretty on TV and I hated to see it go, but the surface was brutal on the players and the inability to air condition it during the early season made it unbearably hot I'm sure. I remember watching a Browns game in 85 and John Madden was talking about how the Cowboys purposely chose the sideline they knew would be in the shade and made the Browns use the sideline that was in the direct sunlight and how brutal it was for the Browns with those Black jerseys. Tex Schramm wanted it to look good and wanted to sell luxury boxes (air conditioned of course) but he didn't give a shit about the players health or the fans in the cheap seats as long as they bought tickets.
Some of those legends who played in those days said that the field was like some type of concrete so even with pads on it hurt to get tackled on it
can confirm, i played on that field 5th grade year and it was brutallll
@@hotelaux4432 Its concrete slab with carpet laid over it. I'm surprised these guys even played on it
It’s true! I never played any football there, but I stood and walked around on that turf during a performance of the national anthem in high school. It had almost no give to it. I remember thinking that it must’ve hurt to play on that type of field, especially in the summer when it was extremely hot and the roof was opened.
Texas Stadium was rough. I know the vet in Philly got a lot of bad press, but Texas Stadium was damn near as bad.
That was Tex Schramm's doing. He wanted a nice neat clean look to the field so even though the stadium was originally supposed to have a dome but because of an engineering flaw it didn't Tex still insisted on the use of Astroturf. Tex was brilliant but he gave less than two shits about the players needs or health. To him they were just disposable assets. I respected him for what he did to build the team but I didn't shed any tears when he was fired as a disposable asset as well. He was the one who primarily negotiated the sale of the team to Jones and he purposely kept Landry in the dark on the progress of the sale. Tex had it in his head that he was going to get to stay on as GM but he got a rude awakening when he was given the boot as well. Karma is a bitch!
Aikman’s cadence reminds me of a 90s football video game
1992 nfc championship game was the best of the 3 games in terms of competitiveness
Even then the score was closer than the actual tenor of the game. If Dallas had not lost Harper to free agency they would have 3 peated.
@@Jrjj42 nah that 94 49ers team was just better that year
And even that game is overrated
Justin Young why because your team lost???
@@SinaSoh neither are my team. Game wasn't that close. Even Steve young said they whipped niners
I remember this game when I was 4. This was actually the very football game I ever saw with my grandpa. He was a big cowboys fan but my mom said I should root for the Seahawks since we live in Washington. I’ve been a Seahawk fan since 1994 and a huge fan of the game ever since!
This was the last game CBS televised until 1998.
ericradford2142 and this was CBS’s last ever NFC Championship game
Yeah, and we saw how the crowd appreciated the Summerall-Madden duo. There were a ton of "Thank you Pat and John" signs in the audience. At the time, much of the TV audience didn't know if Fox would retain the duo (of course, Fox would've been idiots to not do so).
ZhangtheGreat you mean hire them from CBS.
ericradford2142 I like NFL on CBS with NFC era from 1970 through 1993
@@flames24lightning It was Jimmy Johnson's last NFC championship game as well, what could have been if he stayed around longer.
This was the best team of the short lived dynasty the Cowboys had. Completely dominated the best team in the title game. It went down from here when Jimmy got fired
I believe Jimmy was burned out from scouting all the college players (Herschel Walker trade) and coaching the team. The Cowboys didn't have a real GM, and Jimmy and the Dallas scouts were the GM. Had Jerry Jones just cater to Jimmy and hired a GM things would have been different.
@@owainkanaway8345 completely agree. A lot gets made about the Jimmy and Jerry feud, but I think Jimmy already wanted out, and when Jerry made his comment about a thousand coaches being able to win with this team, that gave Jimmy the ammunition to call it quits.
It's still a matter of who you talk to as to whether Jimmy was fired or quit. I don't think Jimmy would have walked away from a team winning championships if Jerry hadn't caused so much tension behind the scenes. There wasn't a GM because Jimmy wanted total control over player and coach selection. The deal was that Jimmy built the team and Jerry paid for it. That's one of several reasons why Jimmy didn't do as well at Miami as he did at Dallas. He didn't have complete control over player selection and dismissal.
@@owainkanaway8345
No. According to Jimmy’s right hand, Dave Wanstad, things were sour when ol’ Jerry started undermining Jimmy’s power over player control. Jerry started muddling with Jimmy’s business as a coach and GM. Some players felt like they could directly go to Jerry. Jimmy wasn’t having that. And after the 2nd SB win, the straw that broke the camel back was when Jerry said he could find 500 coaches to coach the Cowboys to win the SB. Jerry’s freaking ego sank that dynasty.
@@superfly19751 lol that post was two years ago. I know now what I assumed two years ago was not true at all. Jimmy in his book did say he was burned out from coaching the team, but things went sour with Jerry and Jimmy during that Orlando meeting with the coaches when Jerry felt like he was being disrespected by Jimmy. But Jimmy did say he was tired of coaching the cowboys.
I LOVE MY COWBOYS! One day we will be back on top.
Not with Jerry douchebag as owner...he just doesn't get it
The time has come
When Hell freezes over.
Maybe when Jerry Jones is dead and gone. Ain't going to happen with him running the team though, he's worse than Al Davis was.
Not until JJ passes.
This was one of the best postseason performances I've ever seen from the Cowboys. They were an unstoppable machine in the second quarter and really gave the Niners a nice ass whupping.
It still hurts, when I watch this game. Is it me or do players suck nowadays. Look at all the legends on this field.
I don't think its the players I think its the rule changes and terrible officiating
What he said^ the rules don't let the players play like that now for safety reasons. But you could argue the players as a whole are better now than in the past
It’s because as time passes the older players get remembered more fondly and therefore we bring up their positives and discard their negatives.
In 10 years we will look back very fondly and talk about how amazing Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, etc. when we see a highlight clip of them.
Hell of a game.
The 49ers at this time didn't have the personnel on defense to beat Dallas. They were too old and slow at LB and their corners couldn't keep up with Harper. He always burned the 49ers before Sanders was signed in 94. Sanders put an end to that when he was matched up on Harper in the 94 NFCCG.
Agree completely.
Even then, it took monumental fuck ups from Dallas and a shit coach for SF to win..and Dallas had 5 turnovers and only lost by 10. Even with Sanders I believe the 92-93 cowboys beat the 94 49ers. The Cowboys already had an All Pro corner before they even got Deion.
@@AntiMatter3000 that 92 team!! Yes!! I would put them up against ANY TEAM.. That INCLUDES 88 and 89 FortyWiners and the 85 Chicago Bears. It's an opinion, yes. But I believe I have a very significant valid opinion.
That is why I have hated the free agency that had been in effect since the offseason between 92 and 93. We got ROBBED to make history.
I believe they could've and more than likely would've won at least 3 more added ti the 3 they got.
Here's what Dallas was looking like after they ANNIHILATED Buffalo in the first of 3.
We had the youngest team in the league entering the 93 season. THE YOUNGEST TEAM!!! They were just beginning to realize their potential. You could see them growing into this MONSTER of a team
They were the DEEPEST team, especially on defense. Jimmy Johnson would rotate his linemen and linebackers in and out of the 3rd and early 4th quarters, so that his starters would be fresh throughout the 4th quarters.
That OFFENSIVE LINE!! That's all I need to say about them. By just saying the OFFENSIVE LINE!!
As we look at them in the playoffs, you could see them just getting better and better.
We went into FortyWiners land and CRUSHED THEM. That wasn't supposed to happen.
And please, don't tell me that if Giuseppe had been put in that the Winers would've won. Steve Young was a better quarterback at that time. Im not knocking the greatest quarterback of all time, that's hard for me to say, bit I acknowledge it, same with Rice being the greatest wide receiver of all time . The Winers were AWESOME throughout the 80s especially the late 80s. Burr their time of reign was over. Dallas was back in prime form.
It was looking so good for us the next 10 yrs or so.... and then......😭 after crushing the best team the AFC had ti offer, in the offseason, the new free agency would begin. Dallas lost key players the next few months, as teams picked through their roster just raiding it !! Our 2nd string guys were automatic starters when signed by other teams~~AUTOMATIC STARTERS!!
IM GETTING PISSED OFF AGAIN JUST THINKING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF that 92 TEAM, had it been able to play under the old free agency.
That 92 team would've fukked up ANY New England Patriots team they had winning the Super Bowl .
After winning Super Bowl 28, once again against Buffalo. Jimmy Johnson would be asked how confident he was with winning their 2nd Super Bowl in comparison to the previous season. Jimmy said this~ last year I hah a ROYAL FLUSH! This year I had a STRAIGHT FLUSH. When he said that, I realized how significant those players were we weren't able to sign because of the CAP .
Every year their roster was raided..
Playing under the old system would've meant that the Winers wouldn't have been able to sign Deon Sanders, Ken Norton jr (fukkin trader), Gary Plummer from the Chargers. With ALL THOSE acquisitions the Winers got ti beat my Cowboys, they still needed a very sloppy 1st quarter from us, along with 7 referees making some questionable calls and one HUGE NON CALL pass interference on Deon Sanders who completely raped Michael Irvin near the goal line.
The Winers only won by 10 points!!
In 95 we were basically a shell of the 92 team, but was still able to scotch tape it back together for one more Lombardi trophy, giving us 5 out 8 in total.
Under the old system~
Under JJ provided he stayed win 6 possibly even 7
Under Switzer as it went we win 4 maybe 5
They picked a fukked up time to make the free agency what it is today
Yea and then we stole him away the next year and it was over for ya lol
@@wd899 Not quite. The bigger reason was losing Watters and Haley years prior. They were two losses that greatly impacted the 49ers Super Bowl chances going forward.
Kosar getting released by the Browns and a couple of months later ends up getting a Superbowl ring.
Earnest Byner got his ring, too, with the Redskins.
You have to feel good for Bernie Kosar. He was never going to get one otherwise
2:00 that throw to harper is crazy. Aikman the most accurate qb ever
Dropping some love for the early 1970s 49ers led by John Brodie (should be in the HOF) who were stopped 3 straight years by Dallas in the NFC Playoffs
Way before the #BandwagonEmpire was born.
That 2nd quarter is the finest football I can ever recall being played. Troy, Michael, Alvin, Jay, Moose, Emmitt, all playing at the peak of their powers. Amazing memories.
Nothing beats early 90’s NFL
Must have seen about 19 personal fouls in today’s game. Different times...
Yeah but look at what happened to Aikman in this game, gone with a concussion (pretty bad one, from what I hear). Emmitt was playing only 3 or 4 weeks after a separated shoulder injury (the famous home field advantage game in NY). Michael Irvin is lucky not to be in a wheelchair after the injury that ended his career in Philly. I don't like some of the ticky tacky bullshit they are calling today but ya gotta admit a game is not worth some of the health problems a lot of former players now face.
The next year SF picked up Deion Sanders and the YEAR AFTER that Deion was a Cowboy! Both times winning the Super Bowl! How crazy is that? 🤯
Yes and that was Jerrahs move! Charles H also...btw Jimmy didn't want charles
yeah, the niners got Deion, and also our own Ken Norton, and won the Super Bowl. And then a year or two later the league punished them for circumventing the salary cap. It's hilarious
Chris Kennedy 😂
That is true
The next year SF picked up a bunch of mercenaries - Ricky Jackson and Ken Norton Jr. included just to battle it out with the Dallas in NFC championship.
Ugh, all I can think about from this game is Troy Aikman's health. More people probably know this now, but the concussion Troy suffered was downright scary. While he lay in a hospital bed with his agent watching over him, he would ask the same three questions every ten minutes: "Did we play a football game today?" "Who won?" "What does it mean?"
Wish I was born when football was like this... #CowboysNation
I was 14 I already starting playing Football high school I wanted #8 but they gave me #12
I grew up in Dallas. This was my sophomore year in high school. They won the super bowl my freshman, sophomore, and senior year. And if they hadn’t turned the ball over 3 times in the first quarter of the 1994 nfc championship, they probably woulda won the super bowl every year I was in high school. Those were good times to be growing up in Dallas.
I remember watching this game when I was 20. Felt like I lost my stomach when Aikman went out of the game.
Bernie was a good insurance policy. He was a lot better QB than people give him credit for.
I love how both teams use to utilize the fullbacks. In this generation, we don’t have get these dynasty matchups anymore. The Pats are the only one in the league.
Dont forget Kyle Juszczyk on the Niners... I think thats it tho
Raj Shah True.
I remember humping through the desert in the USMC while this game was being played, getting updates from sombody that had a radio. Even as a Packer fan this game sticks in my head because of that.
I miss this old Dallas Cowboys team!!
90’s Cowboys team had the most complete offense and one of it not the greatest team of all time!! Imagine the best offensive line of all time with HOF QB/RB/WR with your other WR being a freak like Alvin Harper possibly the best FB of all time in the Moose and a great pass catching TE in Novachek smh even the 2000 Ravens defense would be like god damn this is unfair.
No not at all
I would put the 92 Cowboys against any team
El bebe Chingon I agree 1,000,000%
I don't have to be a Cowboys fan to admit that this is true
Ian Johnson thanks for being objective. So many cowboy haters can’t admit how dominant that team was.
You hear that Emmitt Smith had this all time offended line, but I look at how he made tacklers miss to get yards at how great of an running back he was. He is under appreciated. He played through it all and showed up at all the big games.
That's the thing nobody ever wants to explain when they talk about Emmitt and that line. If it was just the line then why did he generate SO MUCH yardage AFTER contact and why did he make SO many tacklers miss.! Half that line was already there before Emmitt too. Nate Newton, Mark Tuinei and Kevin Gogan were all Landry Era players and Tom Rafferty was wo retired after 89 was every bit as good as Mark Stepnoski. Nate Newton once said something to the effect that "people said we were the worst O Line in the league until Emmitt got here. He turned us all into Pro Bowlers." I swear Emmitt has got to be the most underrated disrespected running back ever to be the all time rushing leader and rushing touchdown leader. It's as if people were to say that Jerry Rice was only so good because he had Joe Montana and Steve Young throwing to him. What a bunch of crap!
Alvin Harper loved to see the 49ers haha
True. Freeman did do work against the Niners somehow.
I loved Michael Irvin but one would be fair to say Harper had bigger catches in playoffs that changed the games momentum
Raider fan here..but damn , those cowboys teams of the 90's were great. respect.
Two nights before the 2022-23
Dallas @ SF, NFC Divisional Playoff in January ‘23 and here I am, nostalgic af about these two franchises I have lil connection to other than my youth.
If only Madden & Summerall were calling Sunday night’s game…
Who misses those good old days? I know I do
All the boomers & GenX🤦🏽
My Favorite Game of All Time. Jimmy talked the talk and the Boys walked the Walk
I think the '93 team was the best of Dallas 3 super teams. I'm a longtime 49ers fan. The biggest mistake we made was trading them Charles Haley. Yes, we did sign a ton of players on defense but a lot of fans don't realize how good our '94 draft was . Bryant Young changed our defensive line paired with Stubblefield. The 92 49ers could compete but 93 we had a ton of injuries and Dallas was just better. Emmitt was a machine.
San Francisco got better and Dallas got worse. Simple as that.
real days, real men playing football, best era of my days!! My glory-days my legacy this era in time!~
🤦🏽
This was when I started to watch football I was 12 years. Old I'm 37 now my dad got me watching football I was a cowboys back then but when the Ravens came n 96 jump on that train but this was the good old days miss this era of football
I was 14 that time remember those days Aikman Marino Elway Montana Kelly Young Favre
"You can put it in three inch headlines, 'We will win the ballgame'"! -Jimmy Johnson
And the rivalry comes back this Sunday, Go Cowboys!
How could jimmy leave this?
This video is a model showcase of Young's weakness. He drops back, looks off a single receiver, doesn't look for the underneath option - and just decides to run for it. We see it over and over again in this highlight video. Now granted, this Cowboy's defense didn't give him a lot of time in the pocket, but still this will forever keep Young out of any top 10 conversation ever, he didn't have the full package to read the defense and to create something from nothing except on often his ill-advised scrambles. Just a very quick one-read quarterback that happened to have Jerry Rice.
He definitely learned to go through his reads, l'd say right after this season. He was brilliant in 94 and 98 and above average in between when healthy. The overall playoff performances keep him out for me.
I definitely see what you see in this video, though.
Life long Eagles fan here. I remember this dynasty like it was yesterday, they broke my heart as a kid almost every year. Emmett Smith was the greatest at making the first guy miss. Michael Irvin was great, I remember all the Eagles fans celebrating after Tim Hauck ended his career, me? I almost cried when he didn't get up. I loved his first down celebration. Novacheck, that team on all three sides of the ball. When they knocked out the Eagles (very quietly) I cheered for The Cowboys. They were exciting to watch.
Cowboys were the best team in 1993 this is when I believe when this era team peaked. They won the Super Bowl in 95 but they weren’t as dominant as they were in 1993
Watching this replay after the 2021 season has come to an end. Best of luck to both teams in the playoffs. Rooting for Dallas
These cameras look better than today’s broadcast
🤦🏽
@@RamsLakersDodgers u disagree?
Good Bless Bernie Kosar for stepping in when the Cowboys needed him the most. Cheers to you Bernie :D !!
A truly underappreciated and underrated QB.
Most cowboys fans today don’t know or remember this area. This area had a all star class coaching staff that brought out greatness in our players...
Not only do I know and remember this era I'm old enough to remember the Landry Era as well. 3 years without a winning record or playoff birth, 3 years without a division title and just 5 years without an NFC Championship appearance was enough to get you fired back then. The expectations for this team were sky high. As a poster my stepbrother had said of the team back then, "most teams have as their yearly goal making the playoffs or maybe getting to a conference championship game but the Cowboys yearly goal is to win a Super Bowl".
Now look at the team. 28 years since Dallas won a Lombardi Trophy or even got to an NFC Championship Game. Hell it took them 15 years after 1996 to win a playoff game! 15 years without a playoff win! And they STILL haven't passed the divisional round! It's a disgrace and honestly I spend more time watching old highlights than hoping for anything better as long as Jerry Jones is still alive.
Cowboys whooped that ass!! What a team both of them what a time for football! It's cool seeing Young throw left handed...Alvin Harper such an underrated wide receiver great to have him there...I remember and miss this stuff I was 9...what a game and no one in the audience on their phones!! .whoo gatorade bath baby!!
You want to see textbook football?? Put on some 90's Dallas Cowboys film. Pure and simple
Green And Orange FACTS
U want to see a true dynasty ? Look at the patriots 2001-future
@@arishemghoul9571 stfu! TB12 let Eli M whoop him 2x! With a 20th ranked defense!😂😂😂
Love it! I can’t wait till WC weekend this week. Leading up I’ll find some old playoff games from the 90s to watch and that gets me pumped up.
I remember that year. Coach Johnson was a great coach for Dallas cowboys.
Jimmy Johnson was a tough coach he has his team ready to play
THIS was the Super Bowl everytime these 2 teams played in the 90s!
Man that was nice, when hitting the QB was still legit.
And CTE was legit.
Best time ever to be a Cowboys’s fan
10:06, the very same play that beat the Niners in the championship game a year before. Harper was a beast!
I wish they would come out w Classic Teams on Madden!
The old Madden Game have those Wich Madden have to choose a HC you choose your HC
Madden used to have them, but they are just one of the many features cut from the game over the last decade
GOOD OLD DAYS BRING JIMMY BACK
I was at this game!!! I dont rememner the 3rd quarter...LOL. probably relieving our bladders after drinking several beers. The Home field crowd was overwhelming and Dallas dominated them! This crowd was right there with a fanatical college rivalry game..TX vs OU, OSU vs Mich etc etc. Very intense and also very very confident!! We KNEW we would crush them!
We weren't quite for this game. It pays off to be rowdy , we were on our feet the entire game.great memories thanks for sharing.
As good as the Steve Young led 49ers teams were, those Jimmy Johnson Cowboys teams were just plain unstoppable.
could have won more if jerrys ego didn't get in the way
13:01 Steve Young's mom forgot to cut the crust for his SACK LUNCH BOX🤣😂😂😂😭😪😌
One of the greatest dynasties in NFL history.. team was loaded w talent.
Alvin Harper and Jay Novacek always came up with the clutch catches. The unsung heroes of the back to back Superbowl wins
Erik Willams was a great lineman !!!
He was hurt the year SF beat them in the NFC Championship game.
Aikman was a really great most accurate throwing the ball ever and does not get the credit....and man he took a lot of concussions
Thank you for making this a short rather than a hour half video cowboy’s made my jr high years ruff back then paid out gave out but i miss those days
I love how they were able to keep teams together back then. I like seeing all the same players from the video I just watched before this one (1992 NFC Champ).
