Super Bowl 30 - Cowboys vs Steelers

Dallas and Pittsburgh meet in the big game for the third time, renewing a classic rivalry from the 70s, as Troy Aikman's Cowboys look to make it three titles in four years and cement their status as a dynasty, against Neil O'Donnell and the Steelers.

I was fortunate to get to watch all 3 SB wins out of 4 years of the awesome Cowboys dynasty. That’s what I will always be thankful for, they always got it done in the SB, never had to see them lose one! This SB win they did get some breaks but going off several highlights that I’ve seen over the years, they had some bad breaks in one of their losses to the Steelers in the 70s, TE dropping a wide open TD catch where the ball hits him in the chest, that would’ve made the difference in them winning the game.

[@Fultonfalcons86]

Same here but Jerry made one of the biggest mistakes in football history by letting Jimmy go because of his ignorant ego

[@gregoryhoward7594]

The thing is many Cowboys fans don't know about the dropped TD catch. I use things like that to show people it is not all on the QB. Players around them have to make plays. Even Aikman in one Super Bowl was like 0 TDS and 1 int, but they boasted about his 70% completion percentage. That doesn't happen in today's game. In the opening pass play, he throws behind Novacek and doesn't get crushed by the announcers that he has to throw a better pass. Instead, they tell you WHY he threw that pass behind him because it would have been intercepted. Many fans just don't know everything that goes into a play a decision on passing, running, coverage etc... I was fortunate to see them all. The heartbreak though was that Lynn Swan acrobatic catch. You can't cover a receiver any better on that play and he managed to come down with that pass. But back then we had a solid defense as well as a solid team overall. Playing football we use to pretend to be those players. If I was all time QB I was Staubach. Receiver I was Pearson, Richards, Hill or Billy Jo DuPree. Defense was Randy, Too Tall, etc... you take your pick. 😆 Fun times and some good football.

[@crocodile1313]

@@Fultonfalcons86 Thank you--I've been saying that for almost 30 frigging years! That Cowboys team would have probably won 3 or 4 Super Bowls in a row if that idiot didn't run off Jimmy Johnson.

What happened on that last interception is the receiver was supposed to cut inside as the hot read when the blitz was coming. He didn't read the blitz and ran his regular route. Since these throws are timing routes, there was nothing for O'Donnell to do but throw the ball where the receiver should have been. Brown anticipated the hot read so he was there waiting on the pass when it came.

I’m a Cowboy’s fan. Always have been. The first Super Bowl I remember seeing was 1975 that was won by the Steelers. I was a kid but that’s how long I’ve been watching football. I’ve seen a lot in that time and the truth is, I have nothing but respect for the Steelers Franchise, their fans and their city. They are a classy organization with some amazing players in their history. After this Dallas team ended, I watched Pittsburgh build their own powerhouse org in the post Bradshaw dynasty with Big Ben. I almost couldn’t help but be happy for Steelers fans because I respect them all so much and because I had been able to enjoy this Dallas team so much in the post Staubach era. The old Landry Cowboys were the team of my youth, but this (and the earlier 93, 94 Cowboys) were the team of my adulthood and I consider them to be among one of our very best teams. Our respective teams have had two dynasties, and that makes us pretty unique. Plus our ability to meet in the Super Bowl against each other makes us sort of “linked” together throughout history because of our great competitions against each other. For this Super Bowl, it was just a matter of a good football team not quite matching up with a great football team. Pittsburgh was plenty game and they played as well as they could (minus the obvious 2 or 3 big mistakes) but realistically, they played a top level Super Bowl game against a phenomenal collection of talent and they nearly pulled it off. I agree with you that these two teams have written a lot of history together….

[@pjtheory]

In the spirit of educating the uninformed, over half (e.g., 27 players) of the 1995 Cowboys roster never played a down for Jimmy Johnson. This included 2 players (e.g., Deion Sanders and Larry Allen) that were the best to ever play their positions. This 3rd Lombardi Trophy in 4 years was a classic case of links in a chain. The Landry Era supplied Johnson with Michael Irvin, Mark Tuinei, Nate Newton, Jim Jeffcoat, Ken Norton, and Bill Bates. Johnson drafted the core of this juggernaut, and Jerry Jones then added Sanders, Allen, Ray Donaldson, Derek Kennard, Scott Case, and Chris Boniol to the mix. What is remarkable about the 1992-1995 Cowboys is that despite changing personnel and 2 head coaches, they were able to field the most DOMINANT dynasty of the Super Bowl Era. In that 4 year period, the Cowboys were 10-1 in the post-season, they won all 10 games by double-digits, and they scored 27 or more points in all 11 playoff contests.

The numbers clearly demonstrate that from 1992-1995, the Dallas Cowboys were the most dominant dynasty in NFL history. The Cowboys were 49-15 in the regular season, 10-1 in the post-season, they appeared in 4 consecutive NFC Championship Games, and they were the first team to win 3 Super Bowls in 4 years. In 11 playoff games, they never scored less than 27 points, and all of their 10 playoff victories were by double digits. In their 3 Super Bowl wins, the Cowboys outscored their opponents by 62 points. To put those numbers in perspective, the 2001-2004 Patriots didn't even make the playoffs in 2002, and they won 3 Super Bowls in 4 years by a COMBINED 9 points.

As a (very young) Steelers fan at the time, this was the first time I ever saw "my team" in the big game. So to see them rally in the 2nd half, come back from behind, and BLOW IT ALL on an errant pass and just a pathetic drive at the very end...well, it was heartbreaking. I think they were just OUT OF GAS at that point, they had been bested by the Cowboys defense. And who can deny that the Triplets were a force of nature. Aikman, Irvin and Emmitt Smith were a dangerous combination. But you cant help but wonder, if Hastings catches that pass (that hits him right in the hands) at 1:48:30, its potentially first down and a new drive to at least tie the game with a field goal, (Norm Johnson was money back then, as solid a kicker as we would see until Jeff Reed)... but more importantly, it PREVENTS the damn SECOND interception Nerd O'Donnell gently tosses to Larry Brown on the very next play. 😣😣 ((Oh but he wasn't done, his hail Mary toss at the end was intercepted too)) This was a case of a pretty good team meets a freakin great team and the great team won. Thankfully, I would grow into my 20s to see the Steelers become dominant and have their own "dynasty" just 10 years later, 3 SB appearances and 2 wins with an actual good QB from 2005-2011. And I think with the way this year is shaping up, everyone in Pittsburgh misses the "Big Ben years" by now.

The first pick was O'Donnell's fault, but in the second and most critical pick Andre Hastings ran the wrong way on his route. O'Donnell was very shaky in this game though. Weird Super Bowl for me: I loved these Cowboys (not a bandwagon fan though: they were young, I was young in football, I thought it was a team of players I thought I could grow up with. The results were mostly satisfying) but after the first three drives, they just hung on for dear life. At the time, it didn't feel like a win, but an escape. Since the Cowboys haven't won since, I feel better about this game now then I did then (I look at it as the Cowboys doing just enough, especially early, to pull out the win).

[@caomhan84]

It still pisses me off to think about the Cowher era IF we actually had a good QB before Ben. Cowher still won more games from 1992-2007 than any other active coach, even with O'Donnell, Kordell, Tomczak. With a truly good QB in that era, Pittsburgh would have 8 titles instead of 6 I think.

[@gluserty]

@@caomhan84 Yeah, I give Cowher a pass when it comes to the playoffs mostly due to the fact that the majority of his teams (with the exception of 1998 & 2003) played above expectations; but in the big spots, when the Steelers needed a QB to make it happen for them, things usually went the other way (with the exception of Neil O'Donnell in the 1995 AFC Championship game and Tommy Maddox's comeback against the Browns in the 2002 Wild Card Game).
