Jeffcoat was a beast in this game.

That was the perfect rotation of DL.

GOB > RKG

Yes.

That is that thing that Garrett never fucking understood.

Watching that game again was nice.

Now I need Madden and Summerall's voice on every game.

There is no substitute.

We will not see greatness like this again.

Well that sucks going forward

You feel for Dan Reeves, though. Luckily he won a SB as a player, but four SB losses and the final one at the hands of Elway who you lost the first three with.

Reeves had Elway in his prime.

AI can probably make that happen.

I always loved this one too:



Most accurate QB I've ever seen.

You see the lighting there? Nothing like a noon game!

I wish all of our games were played at noon.

Don't worry. The way they have been building the team we will be playing a lot more noon games.

Not a chance.

Good or bad, the team will always get exposure in primetime. Love 'em or hate 'em, people can't help but talk about 'em.

All those great TV rating aren't just fans of the team watching. It's opposing fans watching, too. Hoping they can see them lose. And the networks know this.

Yeah and honestly I don't see this team taking a big down turn any time soon. Assuming this O-line works out the way I think it will, I think its a really good foundation for a solid team for awhile. We might not know how to build a championship team but a great O-line is really the foundation for everything in the NFL. Allows you to run the ball, control the game, limit exposure of your defense and makes your QB's job a ton easier.

With that being said, I hope I'm not wrong on the guys we drafted on the O-line. If I am, then forget everything I just said.

We had a lot of noon games in the Campo years. The main point I was trying to show Ace is if he wants those games the team is going to have to be crap. I don't really believe that they will fall that far so we will get to keep our prime spots.

I’m all for exploring this topic. History doesn’t give our SB 90s defense enough recognition for elevating their performance in the playoffs. In fact, I kinda wanna say they’re more responsible than the offense for the SB runs.

Possible that our offense dominated TOP and other complementary stuff that made it easier on the defense, but some quick defensive facts that show it was more than the offense blowing down the doors.

1992: Six turnovers in two games (one punt recovery) before the 9 in SB27. Allowed 15.7 points per three games
1993: Five turnovers in two games before the 3 in SB28. Allowed 17 points per three games
1995: Three turnovers in two games before the 3 in SB30. Allowed 18.3 points per three games.

Off the top of my head, those turnovers didn’t occur when we had double digit leads, but when the contest was still tight.

In those three years, the NFCC vs Packers is probably the only game where the offense carried the lions share.

Steel Curtain, 85 Bears gets a lot of hype for their contributions, but it’s interesting that you don’t read about the overall defensive performance for the early 90s defense. There is spot mention about Larry Brown’s SB30, the 9 turnovers in SB27, less so James Washington’s SB28, but not enough credit for the overall defensive performance for all nine playoff games, especially for a unit that had few Pro-Bowlers/All-Pro

I don’t know. Nostalgic ramblings when I see replays of the Emmitt SB28 drive, but less mention that Washington’s TD tied the game up right before, then forced 3-n-out punt leading into Emmitt’s drive.

That's what's funny -- we were the best team in football back then and yet we still played so many noon games.

Now, only bad matchups and bad teams are shown at noon.

I don't care about us being on so many night games, I just wish we didn't play so many 3:25 games.

There was nothing like being excited to watch the Cowboys back then and not having to wait too long before getting to do so.

You're old and probably fall asleep during games, so I don't know why you prefer the later time slots.
