the deck was stacked against us in the one. dallas defense was too strong. jimmy johnson knew it.
1992 was more detrimental IMO. 4 turnovers. aikman slant to harper to seal the game.
cowboy dynasty begins.
> >W: 1994 NFC Championship. Going up a quick 21-0 in the first >quarter and then coasting the rest of the way sure was sweet.
the 1995 regular season game in texas stadium is 1A for me.
was living in socal at the time (cowboy country - see: cal lutheran univ). i can't even begin to tell you how many cowboy fans were smugly predicting a complete annihilation.
and why wouldn't they? no watters, no deion, young and several other starters out, had just lost two straight and dropped to 5-4.
BUT... marc trestman had added a little wrinkle in the offense and lined up rice inside in the slot.
second play of the game... elvis fucking grbac hits jerry on a quick slant and he take it 80 yards to the house.
crowd stunned.
cowboys first series on offense... irvin fumbles... merton hanks picks up and runs in for the score.
crowd more stunned.
38-20 final.

the 1990 NFCCG @ home was worse for me.
montana KTFO. changed the face of the team.

'02 was special. half the stadium had left in the third quarter...got to their cars...and raced the fuck back into the stadium.

yep. was there for '98 wild card against GB. got the sporting green front page and game ticket framed.
i still haven't gotten over garrison hearst breaking his ankle the first play of the game @ atlanta the next week.
>L: Probably the NFC championship during 1997 season. It's when >I first REALLY started hating Favre.
the 1995 divisional felt worse. everyone had been looking forward to dallas vs. SF for a fourth year in a row. GB jumps out to a 21-0 lead, thanks in part to wack ass adam walker and his clubbed-cast hand fumbling.
favre and robert brooks cut us up that day.
