Reply to comment by MettaWorldPeece in Cowboys-49ers rivalry set for record-tying 9th playoff game by TexOliver93

I view Niners as our biggest rival. Only other NFC team with 5 super bowls. So many legendary games

Those 90 playoff games were amazing. Jon Madden and Pat Summerall announcing the games. Good times.

Yeah, the Steve Young versus Troy Aikman duels were amazing.

💯 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.

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.

The giants have 4 and are in the same division. I’d say that’s a very close second

I'd agree, Eagles and Giants are probably tied for 2nd. We play the Niners so rarely that it always feels like a special big matchup
