Anyone think Deion was overrated

[Tenkamenin]

Irvin regularly ate Deion's lunch.


1991 against the Falcons .. .10 catches, 169 yards.
1992 against the Falconss .. 8 catches, 89 yards.
1994 regular season against the 49ers ... 8 catches, 94 yards
1994 playoffs against the 49ers ... 12 catches, 194 yards

Did Michael have all 12 catches against Deion in 1994?

Nope, but alot of them were. And Irvin had toasted him on the worst non call in NFL playoff history too, when Deion should have been flagged for an obvious PI in the 4th qtr on what would have been an easy TD otherwise.

Not sure how that can be. The 1992 Cowboys are a top 10 team of all-time unquestionably but in that game against the Falcs where we trounced them we scored 3 passing TDs and had only 239 yards passing. The passing TDs went to Kelvin Martin, Alvin Harper and Jay Novacek. At worst Deion gave up the one TD reception.

Irvin had 6 for 89 yards and Harper 3 for 53.

I don't see how anyone could argue we attacked anyone.

Dallas was good enough not to have to shy away from anyone but the stats are the stats and our guys had no more than average days. Wade Wilson on the other side passed for 100 more yards than Aikman. Emmitt had 174 yards rushing and 2 TDs.

I was at that game.

Aikman completed almost every pass that game, and we got up to a huge lead fairly early. He was 18/21 in that game. One pass was dropped, one was thrown away on purpose. Irvin caught 6 or 7 that night and almost everyone of them were against Deion.

Wilson threw for more yds, but also had to throw like 50 times to get it. And most of it was after we built a huge lead and the Cowboys were playing a semi prevent defense.

Yet nobody has proof of this except for stats from a 94 championship game.

I saw all the Dallas-Atlanta games in person, yeah. He torched him.
