[@scotchandcigars4293]

I don't wanna hear any of that Belichick failed in Cleveland crap. It took a couple years but as a young HC, he turned the fucking Browns into a playoff winning team WITHOUT a franchise QB. Then in 1995, Art Modell announced he was moving the team to Baltimore and the team stopped competing after a 3-1 start. Hell, I probably would've too. It was a dick move by Modell. BB is a brilliant football mind and at least 5 (arguably all 6) of Brady's championships are built on the backs of BB's defenses making key plays or mowing down a high-flying offense. That doesn't mean Brady isn't elite, a legend, and a HOFer, but his rings are not because of himself alone. Anyone who's watched football for 20+ years understands this, whether you like BB as a person, or not.

[@bubsmeister]

Bill is a fuckin legend but there were times tommy had to carry the pats. 2011 for example the pats had a horrendous defense and Tom still got them to the super bowl. I do however think Tom will miss bill more then the other way around. Bruce arians is not bb.

[@StukInBuf]

@Scotch and Cigars(open): Before Belichick became the Browns HC, the Browns were a perpetual playoff factor, and then injuries and so on decimated them in 1990. Belichick, having learned from Bill Parcells, started building a team like the Giants; who knows how much more they could've accomplished in Cleveland had Mr. Modell not decided to move them to Baltimore?

I remember this game. A Saturday if I recall. The Browns played great that day. That's the last season they were truly dominate. I always loved seeing games broadcast from Texas Stadium. Dallas always wore white at home (and still does). The visiting teams colors always looked so vibrant and bright, much more vivid than at any other stadium, maybe it was because of the partial cover/roof. Texas Stadium always had the visiting teams colors and name on the goal post pad in the left end zone. I always thought that was a nice touch. I also remember the very wide white sideline stripe that Texas Stadium had; at least three times wider than any other stadium. Great memories from a Browns fan. BTW, in response to all the players with the huge pads......they had to have those huge pads. That old Astroturf was literally like playing on concrete. Finally, on the extra point after the Cowboys first TD early on, does anybody else think the goalpost looks a bit crooked?

There's a lot of interesting things about this game...the obvious one being Bill Bellichik coaching a Browns team that ended up 10-4 (14 game season) and went to the Divisional round of the playoffs, after winning in the Wild Card round.....but another things that struck me as I watched this was how horrible Troy Aikman looked pretty much from the start, he threw 2 picks but I counted about 7 that were wither dropped by the defender or just badly placed balls....also, Charles Haley had a monster game defensively for the Cowboys, a nice little sack and a whole bunch of tackles as well as that forced fumble at the goal line on Leroy Hoard (who was a stud at Michigan in the late 80s)....and the last thing is Matt Stover, who went 4-4 in this game in his 4th year in the league, and then went on to play for 15 more years

To be fair , im not an Aikman fan at all but that Browns defense was known to make any QB look bad.

How can any Cowboys fan say Aikman was part of the “great 3?” He was not that good. I don’t understand the hype. Emmit is obviously amazing, and Irvin was a freak for his time, but Aikman was an above average QB playing on arguably one of the best complete teams to ever set foot on the field.

[@danthomas9170]

I wouldn't rush to judge him on this game....his first time facing Belichick & Saban's pattern-matching coverage scheme that is a staple in modern college and pro defenses now, but in 1994 it was something that Aikman had likely never seen except watching film and they probably couldn't get it figured out in the one week they had to watch Browns film and come up with a game plan
