Moore: Rival 49ers’ berth in Super Bowl has got to gall Cowboys fans… and it may get

NEW ORLEANS — San Francisco is back. The Cowboys’ fiercest rival from the 1990s has returned to prominence. A win over Baltimore on Sunday evening in Super Bowl XLVII would allow the 49ers to break their tie with Dallas and join Pittsburgh with six titles as the league’s most successful franchises.


That’s got to hurt. “I can remain professional and say no, but why do that?” Cowboys Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin said. “Absolutely it does.”


Eleven NFC franchises have appeared in the Super Bowl since the Cowboys last took home the Lombardi Trophy on Jan. 28, 1996. Perhaps the only solace found at Valley Ranch was that San Francisco had also fallen off the competitive map.


The absence of the Cowboys and 49ers made it a little easier to rationalize that all, proud franchises must spend some time in the valley before they return to the mountain top. That excuse is no longer available to the Cowboys.


Here’s another sobering thought: Not only are the 49ers appreciably better than the Cowboys, they appear built to stay. Only five players who will start in Sunday’s game are in their 30s.

Very good article... This will be a very frustrating Superbowl to watch. The 49ers are completely loaded!

They are loaded. They are much like the 90's Cowboys with the oline and running game. They a a physical, fast team with a bright future. I like the team they have put together and the way they play the game.

Dallas could have the same type of team if their priorities were different.

Exactly... Could be seeing a Dynasty in the making.

The only reason they are there and we are here is Jerruh. I hope someone points that out to him. And reminds him of that all day long.

They can't be in the SB because of good personnel or good coaching

It has to be one of

Pure luck
The ball bounced their way
The NFL is cyclical and it was just their turn

I am sure it is one of these, just can't put my finger on which one

Maybe one of the more knowledgable posters on the site can help

no they are there because of their own merit. We are home because of lack of execution on our team, Jerry is not at fault.
