I guess you think Lynn Swann really go interfered with in 1978 too huh? And you probably think it had no impact on the outcome?

The best memory of that game for me was watching Larry Allen pull around the left side and de-cleating Greg Lloyd and springing Emmitt for a big game. Lloyd was going to be the difference according to the media in Pittsburgh upsetting Dallas. We did not run real well that day, but that memory is priceless to me. LA in his prime was the best and no one could stop him when he was motivated.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

O'Donnel wasn't the soul reason Pittsburgh lost that game.

When were the Steelers ever in the lead during that game? They weren't.

Granted, Dallas didn't take advantage of all of their opportunities either, but they were still dominating in the first half.

When Switzer arrived, Dallas had a horrible reputation of "Letting off on the throttle." That is what happened in Super Bowl XXX.

Dallas let Pittsburgh restore their hope - which ended up in the Cowboys having a rough time of it in the second half.

In Super Bowl XIV, Pittsburgh had a rough time with the Rams. Yet, what did narrator John Facenda say in their highlight video?

"Great teams aren't great all the time, they are only great when they have to be."

Don't you think that should apply to the 1995 Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XXX?

I do remember the Cowboys stuffing Pittsburgh on a 4th and 1 in the 2nd half as well. Was that O'Donnel's fault too?

Pittsburgh was not as close to beating Dallas in Super Bowl XXX as Dallas was to beating Pittsburgh in Super Bowls X and XIII.

At least the Cowboys had a lead.

DID YOU KNOW:

That on all five of the Cowboys Super Bowl wins, the opponent never scored a touchdown in the end zone marked "COWBOYS."

In all three of Dallas' Super Bowl losses, the opponent did score a touchdown in the end zone marked "COWBOYS."

people do practice revisionist history with that game...they think we lucked out or were dominated when in fact niether were true...the Steelers never led...they outgained us somewhat in yards but it took them like 50 something pass attempts to do it, plus we scored on a couple of short drives, limiting our yards gained potential

factor in the two poor official decisions I mentioned and this game wasnt that close...we were way better than the Steelers that yr

I stll remember that idiot Kevin Green bragging at games end "yeah but Emmitt didnt gain a 100 yds!!!"...memo to caveman, hey fool, you lost the game

Sure, we were way better than Pittburgh, but we showed up like it was our game to lose. We should have blown them out. We didn't. We didn't play to our potential - and we never did under Switzer.
