If you’re 40 like me you’re here in full nostalgia. Cowboys vs 49ers is a special game.

[@jamesweatherspoon5129]

With tears man this was it

[@futureprimitivepast3044]

It was a battle between the two best teams in the NFL. For a while, the NFC Championship game meant more than the Superbowl. This was when the NFC always blew out the AFC in the Superbowl.

Absolutely. The Broncos saved the league from possible realignment in '98. That's how bad it got for the AFC.

[@chinosanvezzo7257]

Lowest point of my life in the 92 season, I was in the Dallas county jail we were all quiet when 49ers marched down the field to score and get within 4 points, when Aikman threw it to Harper it was so loud in their it sounded like a riot had started.

If I remember correctly the Dallas media wasn't all that bullish about the Cowboys chances. SF was seen as more established, Candlestick's field was trash etc. SF had the personnel to win in '92, just as much as Dallas had the right players to win in '94.

I respect the game for love of the GAME, that's all I ever asked for.

[@redmustangredmustang]

The 49ers just couldn't stop the Cowboys on third down except for the final drive before they scored to make it 24 to 20. The Cowboys made the plays and the 49ers didn't especially turning the ball over in this game.

I liked those. 1996 is when the design went off the rails in my opinion. Particularly the away jerseys. The traditional white jersey with plain red numbers, letters and stripes and gold pants is so classic.

[@wilnerolivier7971]

@@4daluvofgames701 If Eddie DeBartolo had his way then Montana would've start because he always had a soft spot for him compared to Young!! But he did what was right & stayed out the way & allowed the coach to make the decision.

[@gregford2103]

@@4daluvofgames701 It would have been interesting. I know Young threw a pair of interceptions, but he also kept a lot of plays going with his mobility. I'm not sure Montana, at this stage of his career, would have been able to avoid the Dallas pass rush as well as Young did on several plays.

[@playitsafe20]

Montana would have played similar to his losing effort two years prior against the Giants as their defense was similar to Dallas. You could see Young running for his life, extending plays. As well as hitting receivers right on the mark, sustaining drives. His first INT was horrible but it ended up not resulting in points. The second INT was forced as they had no choice but to throw the ball. I thought this was one of Young's best games, all things considered.

If you look objectively at the talent on both teams, you would hardly call this game an upset. Dallas came into the 49ers back yard and kicked their butts. End of story.

[@ericrakestraw664]

The 49ers should have led 20-0 at the half. Two turnovers led to 10 Dallas points and they lost 10 more points because of the holding penalty on the Rice TD and a missed FG by Cofer.
