That first game with the Bears was a terrifying one for me as Emmitt almost broke his neck on a dive over the pile into the endzone when he didn't even have the ball. The biggest failing that Troy Aikman had was that he completely sucked at play-action as he couldn't sell the play-fake worth squat. I don't know why he never corrected this problem but it nearly cost Emmitt his career.
Aikman made his usual lazy play-fake to Emmitt who then sold the fake like he should by going over the pile. The problem was that no one had bought the fake and the defenders were moving to play the pass. No one was there for Emmitt to land on so he just landed on his head in the end zone and nearly broke his neck. It was terrifying to see him lying on the field and then when the ambulance came out and they put him on a back-board I was sure that his career was over. There had been a string of serious neck injuries in recent years and I feared the worst for him. Fortunately, it was only a stinger and he was able to come back without missing much time. We lost that game pretty badly but came back the next week and crushed the Giants 27-0. We lost a couple of close games to the Colts and Bills then won 4 in a row before dropping one to the Eagles. We lost 2 more games that year to the Giants and in the finale to the Redskins where we barely bothered to show up. That loss to Washington didn't give me many warm feelings going into the playoffs against the Vikings but we completely dominated them and my hopes were restored going into the next round against the 2nd year Panthers. Those hopes were quickly dashed after Irvin went out and we couldn't recover, losing 26-17. This was still a very talented team and we should have played better but the loss of Jay Novacek to back problems which also limited Charles Haley to a few games took away two of our best players. The defense continued to decline rapidly under Dave Campo and his "Bend-but-don't-break" defense and we couldn't put pressure on the QB nor stop the other team late in games. Again, these were symptoms of that style of defense that would plague us throughout his tenure as well as under his student Mike Zimmer. Our drafts didn't help much either as we only picked up one player that was any good in LB Randall Godfrey. We were unable to replace key players when they left because our drafts were so bad.

There were some good games this season. Besides the playoff win, my favorites were the Monday night game versus the Eagles in September and the late season win versus the Patriots. Both hard fought tight games. The win over the Dolphins, and Coach Johnson, was also memorable.
