NFL 1992 Week 1 Washington Redskins @ Dallas Cowboys

[@redmustangredmustang]

This game showed how Charles Haley would be an integral part of the defense. It showed it on the first two drives and it also showed as the season went on, he was the final piece of the puzzle for the Cowboys to make a Super Bowl run.

[@bosskey7212]

Haley definitely changed the entire complexity of how the defense was called and style they played, you can see even in this game with 2 DT starters out they still played a hyper aggressive game and they were young and fast. They really turned the corner when Haley arrived

[@ibe310]

DURING YALL SUPERBOWL RUN YALL MADE A LOT OF RIGHT DECISIONS. UNTIL...THE PINK ELEPHANT TOOK A MASSIVE SHIT IN THE MIDDLE IF THE LOCKER ROOM.

[@giffondhall9214]

The cowboys need another Charles Haley right now

[@starwarsROXmy]

I’m a Giants fan, but man, the Cowboys had some great all time teams in the 90s. Hated them with a passion, but can’t deny their talent.

[@w.allencaddell6421]

Yes but years later the Giants beat Tom Brady, twice, in SBs. The Giants have had some good teams too. And I'm a Dallas fan.

[@LynyrdSkynyrdFan]

Classy.

[@comfortat]

That's how us Cowboys felt when the Giants had LT and his group of Mad Dogs. You guys had to deal with 3 other great teams in the 90's, the Redskins, 49ers and Bears, just to get to the SB. And the NFC East was a rough division to win, as well. The Eagles and Cowboys were good teams through the first half of the 80's.

[@JR-pp3ed]

The 07/11 Giants got revenge by knocking the Cowboys out of Playoffs and Winning SuperBowls. It sucked but every team has their time eventually

[@comfortat]

@@JR-pp3ed NFC East rivalries were the best in football. Almost every year, you had to beat a great NFC East team if you're going to win a championship, especially before 1996. The 70's Cowboys The '80 Eagles The rest of the 80's through 95, you had the Redskins, Giants and Cowboys in your way. The Eagles had some good teams during that time period, too. Call me old, but that 25 year period was the golden age of the NFL.

[@adam-remy8377]

That blocked punt by Ike Holt started it all, at least that's how I felt. I vividly remember watching this game.

[@toneybeil9982]

I know right! That’s the play that moved them to the next level. They got their feet wet in 1991. And then this game opening up against Washington I remember clearly Monday night Ine Holt blocked that punt and the rest is history! And remember blowing the giants out the next week, it was like 34-0 and they almost came back to beat us! But we held on we were a young great team.

[@gobucks2644]

From 1986 - 1995 (10 year span) the NFC EAST won the Super Bowl 7 of those years. The other 3 was the 49ers. Talk about dominance!!

[@lizardof78]

That dominance extends to the NFC as a whole, SF '84, CHI '85, GB '96.

[@kirkindog]

I LUV obscure facts like this! Here's some more. From 1968-1981, it was just the opposite. The AFC won 11 out of 13 Super Bowls with only the Cowboys, who were in the NFC, winning in '71 & '77 during that span.

[@steves9964]

Back it up to '84 and the NFC won 13 straight Super Bowls, and most of them were complete walkovers.

[@steves9964]

@@kirkindog Similarly the NFC won 15 of 17 SBs between 1980 and 1996 with both AFC wins coming from the Raiders. Symmetry! And despite all that here we are after 58 SBs split twenty-nine apiece between the AFC and NFC. Pretty amazing.

This Cowboys team, by the Super Bowl, had become one of the most dominating NFL teams in history.

[@jjgillmen]

Redskins-Cowboys, Week 1 in 1992. I have fond memories of that game, living in the Dallas area and just starting my 5th grade year. The game was one of the most anticipated events in the area in YEARS, and the noise level at Texas Stadium was nothing like I ever heard before. When I think about the previous three years...? 1989: 1-15 (Jimmy Johnson's first year coaching; Jerry JOnes' first year as new owner) 1990: 7-9 (Jimmy earns Coach of the Year honors) 1991: 11-5 (Wild Card spot) With the talent they signed and/or drafted, this was a Cowboys team that was gonna be special to watch.

[@jonraybon8582]

This was the first NFL game that I vividly remember. I had just become old enough to really understand the game. I didn't see the game at the stadium, but my family all gathered at my grandparent's house to watch this. After seeing the impressive win, my 8 year old self proclaimed that "The Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl." Of course they all laughed and thought it was cute. Just 4 months later, Jimmy is in the locker room at SF saying "how bout them Cowboys!" A magical time to be a Cowboy fan.

this was the "coming out party' for the Cowboys run. Was born a Cowboys fan. However, it was a decade of NFC Championship heartbreaks (and worse), starting with the 1981 Dallas vs SF Championship. Waited a long time, and i was in ecstasy this entire game.

[@LogoAttitude]

The video cut off at the end just as the regional college football games of September 12 were about to be plugged. The first game shown was Texas at Syracuse, a game which no doubt interested many Cowboys fans as they are another in-state team. Also airing on ABC that day was Bowling Green at Ohio State (then as now, MAC appearances on ABC are rare), Missouri at Illinois (a rivalry which would be played in St. Louis numerous times in the early 21st century), Oregon at Stanford, and Tennessee at Georgia.

[@freedomsound4469]

I was at this game. The blocked punt on the first Redskin drive was the loudest I had ever heard Texas Stadium in my entire life. I had been to dozens of games through the 80s. The change...the beginning of a dynasty...you could feel it. It gave me chills at the time and I will never forget it. The Redskins had not practiced a silent count for this game because the Stadium had been a funeral parlor for the last 6 or 7 seasons. The crowd noise at this game was a rude awakening for them.

3 Dyntastys collided. Although the Giants only won 2 but the end of Redskins and Giants Dynasty ended as a new cowboys dynasty formed. The NFC East was stacked for a while there, from 1984 to 1994 the NFC East was one tough division.

[@smoothALOE]

Oh, this division was absurd in those days! The Cards were the only dud. I think if the Eagles had been in another division, they probably could’ve dominated for a few years. I say that out of respect, as a Cowboys fan.

I wish I knew how many games played in Texas Stadium I watched on TV. Probably not so many after 83 until 91 or so when the Cowboys were resuscitated. I never made it to a game in Texas Stadium but several years ago I went to the Notre Dame vs Arizona State game in the current stadium. Is the jumbotron nice? Oh yeh. But the two best surprises were how clean the restrooms were (I had been to the Astrodome a few times so my expectations were low) and how good the hotdogs were.

I wouldn't say the 90s Cowboys were underrated...maybe overshadowed by their off field antics but everybody who saw them knew they were good. The 91 Redskins are overrated though...I can't believe some insane people are calling them the greatest team in football history. Are they serious? This is basically the same roster that won the SB in 91 and you can see Dallas is just way more talented. Though you have to remember the 91 team was the end not the beginning of their run. This is a team that had been good since the 80s...the Cowboys were on the way up and the Skins on their way down.

The '91 Redskins went 14-2, scored the most points in the NFL (and one of the highest point totals in history) and allowed the second fewest points in the NFL (including three shutouts). Then won three playoff games by an average of more than 20 points. You seem to forget what the Redskins did in the decade prior - three previous Super Bowls and two wins. The '91 team, while a juggernaut, was basically the end of that run while Dallas was ascending. By '96 the Cowboys of that era were starting their downhill slide.
