As a bills fan, I cannot remember any “Super Bowl” at all in the 90’s. They called them off for a while in the 90s because of a strike or something. Do not fact check me.

I moved into a rented industrial warehouse in Dallas two days before Super Bowl XXVII - Dallas Cowboys vs. Buffalo Bills - January 31st, 1993. It was a Friday afternoon the day I took the lease for the 3000 sf warehouse on the edge of Dallas and Las Colinas. I signed the contract, got the keys, as I was leaving the office, the building owner informed me that teakwood pool furniture was stored in the back corner of the building, and that someone would be by Monday morning to pick it up, he also said that the furniture belonged to Troy Aikman, and the chairs had just been stripped and reconditioned. I told him that Monday would be fine to pick them up and not to worry about them being there until Monday. I left his office pretending not be excited that Aikman’s pool furniture will be in my house during the Super Bowl. (I lived there for six months, threw raves and rented space to my art director friends.) Needless to say we watched the game in Aikman’s chairs.

I remember that game because I was living in Japan and my grandmother was a huge Tory Aikman fan. Since Super Bowl Sunday in the states was early Monday, my grandmother made us stay home from school to watch it. I didn’t remember the outcome, I remember being super excited because I wasn’t at school.

Even as a Colts fan, all I remember about that game was Hester running back the opening kickoff for a TD.
Because we all went "I can't believe we beat the Patriots just to fuck up against this awful Bears team."
Luckily, the Bears were exactly as bad as we thought they were.

Doggleganger t1_j522pvx wrote
I don't think it will reignite the rivalry. That only happens when it's between top teams. Back in the 1990s, the winner of Dallas vs. SF would win the SB. More recently, you have rivalries between top teams like Pats-Colts (with Brady/Manning), or maybe now Chiefs-Bengals. But there isn't the same feel here. Maybe if Dallas wins, but I suspect this game won't be very competitive (SF seems like the far better team), which means no rivalry.

there was an infographic showing all their stats. as far as they go, the only difference is the that Dallas has a better pass defense and San Fran has a better run defense. Their offenses are both prolific, and both of their defenses are elite. it's going to be a classic

Brady and Purdy have one thing in common: both were thrown into the game on exceptionally good teams and were not asked to carry the team. In Brady's first years, that Pats defense was elite, and he wasn't asked to air it out like he did in later years. Purdy is in a similar situation. SF has one of the most stacked rosters in the league. It's got elite receivers, running game, defense, coaching. SF has it all. Purdy is the weak point, but he's not asked to do too much, and he's been good so far.
jdbolick t1_j52xe06 wrote
They're also extremely intelligent. Build and arm strength get all the combine attention, but reading defenses is what makes a great quarterback.
NumberVsAmount t1_j553gy2 wrote
I can’t wait until Drop Thurdy continues to play like this long enough that this L of a take finally goes away. He’s undefeated for basically half of the season. His stats are the best of any qb over that stretch. Anybody who is actually watching has seen him make plays and show talent. If a high draft pick rookie qb did over the first 7 games of a season what bcb has done over these 7 people would be calling him a franchise qb. But because people can’t believe in mr. Irrelevant, he’s just a “system qb”.

I mean, Kurt Warner went undrafted and literally had a movie about him called “American Underdog”.

Roethlisberger was the youngest QB to win the superbowl, at 23. But his birthday is March 2nd, so he was nearly 24. Vince young won the championship that year and was two months older.

When I was a kid (in the late 80s early 90s) it was absolutely a thing. I recall a game in the early 90s where multiple players were ejected for a fight that broke out on the field.
It was like watching the Ravens and Bengals play now.
That said, I grew up in Chicago, so my 2 favorite teams are the Bears and whomever is currently beating the living snot out of Green Bay. I felt like a traitor 2 weeks ago uttering the phrase "Go Lions".
minneapple79 t1_j51q77f wrote
Yup, growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s this was a huge rivalry. They played in a bunch of NFC championship games. The Catch, Jimmy Johnson’s “how bout them Cowboys” speech. When I saw this matchup come up it was like reliving my childhood all over again. I showed my 8-year-old nephew the video of The Catch and he’s been trying to recreate it in his living room much to his mother’s dismay (although it might be better than the usual catch he tries to recreate, which is Justin Jefferson’s catch against the Bills).

💯 those 3 consecutive title matchups were basically the super bowl. Everyone knew that the winning team would win the Super Bowl. We don't really have multiple dominant teams like that anymore, much more parity these days.
Also the last of the three title matchups is the game that Troy Aikman / Michael Irvin have said they're most proud of in their professional careers. Cowboys actually lost that game but fought like hell to climb out of a huge early deficit.
[deleted] t1_j53ali1 wrote
The greatest game John and Pat ever called was at the Stick, and it must have been a blowout because I don't know why else they'd give five minutes of airtime for it during the game.
John cut to the sea lions at Pier 39, and was using the yellow pen to mark how one sea lion would get shoved off the dock, but swim around this way or that way and jump back on, and shove someone else off the dock. And Pat characteristically humored him. For five minutes, I'm telling you. It was fantastic.

Uh, that’s the point. They were only a rivalry before because of meeting in the playoffs 7 times before last year. 6 of them came in streaks (70,71,72 and 92,93,94) is what fueled it. The fact they you weren’t even a dirty thought yet is irrelevant.

I don’t think our age is irrelevant. If the younger generations of NFL fans are unaware of those playoff games and don’t think about it as a rivalry then this 1 playoff game isn’t going to reignite some rivalry in the fans. And our youth is exactly the reason for that.

Somehow, every team the Cowboys play is a rival lol
I’m nervous this will be a repeat of the last time we faced the Niners, but I’m optimistic. If Parsons can really make some noise on defense, the rest of the defensive line should eat well.
Also, Dak is going to have to get it going early on. My dude gets lost if he doesn’t start to put it together at some point early in the game.

The NFC is at its best when these two teams play in the playoffs.

As a lifelong Cowboys fan (27) how can you be a rival to anyone when you literally always lose? We can be rivals with the Commies because they never win either but damn can we win one more time in my life?? I was still shitting myself the first time it happened and I will probably shit myself again if I ever live to see the day we win another one.

I remember the cowboy/49er championship games in the 90s being even more exciting than the Super Bowls.
