A moment too historical to go unrecognized, even for a Cowboys fan.

The Catch.

Sorry madinmaryland, but this moment ushered in a dynasty and destroyed another.
Dallas would not really win again until the Jimmy Johnson years.

looking forward to football

NFC EAST!

[madinmaryland]

1. Nice post, cboy!

:grr:

I would not go that far. But I am looking forward to the upcoming season!

[mix]

2. god it broke my heart watching it

i think these posts are my way of dealing with it...it doesn't heal easily

[madinmaryland]

3. Actually, this is "THE CATCH" that I remember...

[mix]

5. the original Hail Mary, I only got to read about it

[madinmaryland]

6. My best friend was a diehard Viking fan, and he didn't speak to me for a week!

:evilgrin:

[mix]

14. I can't take Vikings fans seriously, not now or in the 70s

when teams like the Raiders dominated them, and Favre? Dallas kicked his ass on a regular basis in the 90s.

[mix]

4. ...and don't those Jimmy Johnson years look good from here?

[madinmaryland]

7. Those were some really good years!

dammit! x( We are sounding a lot like upton and cboy4 over in the sports forum!

[TZ]

8. Yes you are!

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

16. STFU, Snyder!

:grr:

[TZ]

25. I calls em as I see em...

:)

[redqueen]

12. It wasn't always good...

remember how bad the team sucked while he built the team up?

Remember people being pissed off when Emmitt was drafted?

Those were the days that tested true Cowboys fans... it all paid off though.

9. As Die Hard Giants fan

I always was routing for an earth quake to open up the field and swallow both teams.:evilgrin:

[madinmaryland]

13. Dude! At that time the field had opened up and swallowed the Giants!

They were still trying to recover from this...



:hi:

[NJmaverick]

31. Well 4 Super Bowl appearances and 3 SB Trophies

have pretty much helped the team get over the "fumble"

:hi:

[Auggie]

28. I'm sure you recall it was the N.Y. Giants that kept San Francisco

from winning three straight Super Bowls. In the fourth quarter of the 1991 NFC Championship game DE Leonard Marshall knocked Joe Montana out of the game and, essentially, any future with the 49ers. That was bigger than any earthquake.

[mix]

29. loved it

[NJmaverick]

30. The was one of my all time favorite games

Joe didn't look too good after that hit.

[Auggie]

35. Afterward, Marshall said:

'It was a good, clean hit, just a football hit, but I knew I hurt him bad. I knew he wasn't going to be back. I could hear him moaning.''

[JonLP24]

10. #24 Everson Walls

A great defensive back who did exceptionally well in that game despite falling short on that famous play.

[mix]

11. that play defined an entire decade (and more) of football

[madinmaryland]

15. Dude! What the Fuck??

I thought you were a Cowboys fan. A REAL Cowboys fan would not be posting Forty-Whiner Propaganda.

:grr:

Stop it. Right the fuck now!

[redqueen]

17. Yeah, this is suspicious.

Why start this thread now? It's not the anniversary of the catch... is there some other legitimate reason for a Cowboys fan to just post this from out of the blue... ????

[mix]

18. strongly dislike the 49s

but they've given Dallas some classic moments and games...and they've achieved Dallas level excellence: they've actually won a Super Bowl, unlike the Eagles.

Just trying to stir up some football talk, sorry if I've offended diehard sensibilities.

[madinmaryland]

20. My friend, Zero Super Bowl Championships will accomplish the same thing

without showing those traitorous pictures!

[mix]

24. face your demons

5-0

[redqueen]

22. *eyes you suspiciously*

Yeaaaaah... all right... if you say so. I'll trust you, but just this once!

[mix]

21. chillax

to a good coming season :toast:

[JonLP24]

26. lol that was odd

I posted to talk about how great Everson Walls was as a player who had a great game despite coming up short on "the catch". 2 interceptions, 7 tackles, and a fumble recovery I believe?

Only for the poster to ignore my praise for Walls and post even more photos of the catch.

[mix]

27. sorry

I like Walls, but your comment made me think about what happened up front on the play (and if there were any pix)...the seeming break down of protection...Montana and Clark would later claim that the play was scripted and they had practiced it.

Walls is one of the greatest, no doubt.
:hi:

[JonLP24]

37. lol it's ok

I hate the Cowboys but they have had some really talented players. Side note Danny White played in that game which is my high school's claim to fame.(he graduated from the same HS I went to) Pretty much the only well known graduates is Danny White and the band Authority Zero.

[mix]

42. never liked Danny White, though he had some great numbers

[JonLP24]

43. He's one hell of an Arena Coach

[mix]

44. that's cool, glad he landed on his feet

[LanternWaste]

19. '92 NFC Championship Game has....

'92 NFC Championship Game has has all but erased that paleolithic image from my mind... :)

[mix]

23. classic, epic, monumental

:hi:

[LanternWaste]

38. Hiya, Mix!

Most entertaining football game I've ever seen-- prior or since. Ans I'll give SF due credit, they did play well that night; it could have gone either way in the first quarter.

It was like watching two skilled surgeons going to work on each other, but the domination of the SF defense by the Dallas O-line was a glorious sight to behold. Irvin tripped up? Pass it to Harper. Harper not in the clear? Chuck it to Novacek or Moose. And let's not even start in on Dallas' running game that night.

Sigh. Torrents, torrents torrents to behold-- but try as I might, the ONLY thing I want to download (that specific game) has eluded me. Oh well, I still have my memories. :)

(JJ's guarantee of a victory was as though he poured salt into a wound not yet made....)

[mix]

39. i think JJ's guarantee of victory was in the '93 title game, played in Dallas (i think)

anyway, i agree that the '92 game was one of the greatest for me too...it was that Alvin Harper catch and run, a slant pattern, deep in Dallas territory that really broke the game open.

[av8rdave]

32. historical?

historic

[mix]

33. oops

[av8rdave]

34. Sorry...I'm not normally a grammar nazi

Had a hard day today.

Plus, as a Cowboys fan, that's always a tough one to look at, brilliant as it was.

[mix]

36. thank you

it is good to get it right
:hi:
