San Francisco 49ers vs Dallas Cowboys 1993 2nd Half Week 7

It was no fore gone conclusion that whoever won this game would host the NFC Championship game.

[@michaeldavis9373]

I miss John Madden. San Fran last drive, down 9, Madden says, "You know, if you had a play that got you 9 points, thats the play you would want to call here" lol

[@devildog65]

They broke the mold with Madden, that’s for sure!

[@17thNO]

Yeah, Madden was great and so was Summerall. These were some great times and great games. I miss these days.

[@capt.america6296]

Every time I watch these old Dallas cowboy games, I can’t help but think how Jerry Jones screwed it all up. He had the coach that could have been just like the patriots are. Jimmie Johnson could evaluate talent and ability as good as anybody ever could. He picked up so many quality players in the late rounds of the draft it’s unreal.

[@ellisonlowrimore7751]

I agree 💯

[@bengaltiger96]

No shit. Instead of saying "I could have put 500 coaches in there and they would have done the same job," how about "How would you like to make history as the first coach who won three, maybe four or five superbowls in a row....something no one else will ever do?"

[@danthomas9170]

And he understood the value of draft choices before anyone else, even before the Salary Cap was implemented in 1994.

[@capt.america6296]

@@danthomas9170 you are so right. many teams use his mathematical values for draft picks today.

You can add the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia eagles to that list they were just as competitive during that time but they couldn't beat these two teams playing right here...

And the Bills

[@yourroyalhighness7662]

If Jerry and Jimmy could have contained their egos it is highly likely that the Cowboys would have won 3 or possibly even 4 consecutive Super Bowls and staked their claim to being the mythological greatest football team of all time. No disrespect intended but it was never the same when Jimmy left.

[@williewalker5646]

EXACTLY! I was in Dallas when that went down. I was in the Army reserve doing my annual 2wk training. I was totally pissed off with that. I'm glad he made it 2the Hall of fame. When he took over as the HC he said they'll be in the Superbowl in 4/5 yrs the NFL community laughed. HOW BOUT THOSE COWBOYS!

[@yourroyalhighness7662]

@@williewalker5646 He was amazing. Those two years were great ones for Dallas fans. I am an old hand and my favorite Super Bowl win for the Cowboys was Super Bowl VI when it was Doomsday for Dolphins by a score of 24 to 3. If Calvin Hill had not fumbled at the Miami goal line near game's end the final would have been 31 to 3. That is my all time favorite Cowboys win. I lived in south Florida back then, about 120 miles north of Miami and we subscribed to the Miami Herald newspaper and if my memory is correct the headline read It's Doomsday For Dolphins. The under headline read Dallas Defense Lives Up To Reputation. If not those words it was very close to that.

[@williewalker5646]

@@yourroyalhighness7662 I started watching football in 1972 & the Cowboys had a new fan. I was 10yrs old at the time. Garrison & Hill in backfield & I liked when they would go up & down in unison. My favorite game would've been the NFC championship game against the 49ers 1993 how they dominated them offensively in the 2nd half they held the ball practically the whole 3rd & part of the 4th quarter. TOTAL DOMINANCE haven't seen nothing else that could compare since.

[@yourroyalhighness7662]

@@williewalker5646 The Cowboys were awesome that day. The NFC Championship games against the 49ers were the real Super Bowl. Buffalo never stood a chsnce. I loved those two titles against the Bills but my heart went out to them because of how resigned they were to defeat once things got tough. Getting to the Super Bowl 4 years in a row, win or lose, was an incredible accomplishment by the Bills. No other team has matched it in the Super Bowl era.

[@dennisroberts6310]

Back then, 49ers usually demoralized teams when they made explosive scores and seemed 'unstoppable' for a string of possessions. Cowboys were just too fast, too talented for this to work on them. They just shrugged off 49er scores, kept lining up and at any moment could end the 49ers momentum. As great as the Cowboys were, they seem to have underutilized their talent, if possible since they won 3 superbowls with this team. Their offense was just so basic, like a touch football game: "Just get open". While the 49ers had a machine honed over 12 years. Kind of shows just how much raw talent that Cowboys team had. Damn. Great 90s rivalry.

[@owainkanaway8345]

They were also well coached too. They got a lot of good players from the Herschel Walker trade. Jimmy Johnson was both a great coach and a great scout. Unfortunately egos got in the way, Jerry Jones felt like he didn't have control of the team. He fired Jimmy Johnson, hired his puppet coach Barry Switzer, and Jerry made himself the GM therefore he had complete control of the team, and the results speak for themselves. They haven't been an NFC championship game since 1995.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Well to be fair, that was Jimmy's whole thing...keep it simple, much like Lombardi and Noll before him. And Dallas more than any team in the 90's, was completely gutted by free agency. My goodness...they lost Kevin Gogan, John Gesek, Alvin Harper, Ken Norton Jr, James Washington, Thomas Everett, Tony Casillas, Vinson Smith...all starters off that great 1992 team, before they got to 1995. How they managed to win that title with the depth they lacked AND Barry Switzer coaching, remains a crowning achievement.

[@speccollector9740]

No one was happier to see Jimmy Johnson get railroaded than the 49ers. It was their ticket to a 🏆. In 94, the Cowboys spotted them 21 points and almost came back to beat them....if not for a missed pass interference call against Deon Sanders on Michael Irvin....pulling his arms down 3 seconds before the ball got there. Jimmy's team would've been focused in that game....and I'm sure he'd have better personnel replacing the guys that were lost in free agency....Norton stands out.

[@clickman443]

Nah, 49ers win in 94 anyway

[@terrenceliburd8655]

@speccollector9740: I know this a old post but I gotta mention this: The 49'ers grew so tired of the Cowboys beating them in the NFC championship that they signed about 8 free agents, and just one on the offence side. Ed McCafferyWR Pro bowler Tim Harris, Deion Sanders, Gary Plummer, Charles Mann, Rickey Jackson, Richard Dent, Ken Norton ( traitor lol)

[@tejastrojan]

That defense was nasty!

[@raymondrosario5642]

Thanks for this great upload Richard. Football was so much better before the salary cap era started. Too many short dinky passes now to my liking. The last great power running game the nfl is going to ever have was the back to back Cowboys. Steelers were good with Bettis but it was not as dynamic an offense.

[@owainkanaway8345]

Nowadays I feel like I am watching arena football. They play no defense, the commentators over-hype and overrate every single player like Josh Allen. Good hard tackles they don't exist anymore.

[@andrew5184]

Not true. I remember the Raiders...my Raiders, of all teams, kicked a FG down 10 against the Chargers under a minute left trying to do that exact same thing. I think it was the 1993 game in the Coliseum.
