Cool, well-made video on Big E. Enjoy.
The MAN before the injury without a doubt. John Madden’s guy!

The biggest reason for the loss in the 94 NFC championship was the pass rush by the 49ers against Aikman.Not unless in that same alternate reality Emmitt doesn't tear up his hammies in 1994. Much as I would love to believe we could have won 5 in a row that notion completely ignores the physical toll of playing 3-4 extra games at the end of the season. By 1995 the Cowboys had played 13 playoff games between 1991 and 1995. Basically a full EXTRA SEASON of highly leveraged, high intensity football! To pretend that was not going to begin to take its toll on players' bodies as they got older bespeaks a fundamental lack of respect and recognition of the beating these guys take. Ironically, I think if someone were to assemble a team as good as the 90's Cowboys in today's watered down NFL that team would have a far better chance of reeling off 5 in a row than those Cowboys teams did. The only challenge would be managing the cap and keeping the team together. But if you had a superstar like Brady who would set the tone by taking less money you might have a chance.
Dobler was just a cheap-shot guy.Look up Conrad Dobler
The Pro Football Hall of Fame needs some type of Special Circumstances category.We had no one that could stop Brown. Williams certainly helped but the major difference in those games was the loss of Brown out of the Philly interior.
Similarly, a car accident stole 79's quickness.
I certainly have nostalgia for that era but it was tragic after 93. Bottomed out with Sualua and Tui.

Ha! I remember that name. I was a Raiders fan in the 70s.I remember a interview with Otis Sistrunk years ago who said there were guys in the NFL that did not care about the game at all; just wanted to hurt people without going to jail
I like the idea.The Pro Football Hall of Fame needs some type of Special Circumstances category.
Erik Williams in 92 and 93 was completely dominant. As good as it gets.
Jerome Brown at his peak was one of the most dominant DTs I've seen.
Emmitt was injured too.The biggest reason for the loss in the 94 NFC championship was the pass rush by the 49ers against Aikman.
- Much of that came on the offensive right side because Erik Williams was out due to the car wreck earlier that season.
Darren Woodson says unequivocally that they would have won if EW had been healthy for that game.
1) My post was hypothetical, which means Emmitt getting hurt may not have happened in my alternate timeline.Not unless in that same alternate reality Emmitt doesn't tear up his hammies in 1994.

The biggest reason for that loss was Jimmy being gone and the tremendous drama and distractions that caused. The fact that they didn't crater that year is a testament to how great that team was.The biggest reason for the loss in the 94 NFC championship was the pass rush by the 49ers against Aikman.

I watched the games...all games that season.The biggest reason for that loss was Jimmy being gone and the tremendous drama and distractions that caused. The fact that they didn't crater that year is a testament to how great that team was.
We also got jobbed hardcore by the refs in that game. Had Deion rightly been called for P.I. we likely come back and win that game. The 49ers were on the ropes at that point.
Had Jimmy stayed we might have gone undefeated in 1994.
Funny how a lot of top DTs played in that time span and none of them did thatDobler was just a cheap-shot guy.
Randy White would have killed Dobler if he tried those antics against the Cowboys.
