Just asked a 49ers fan about the non-call on Deion in the 1994 NFC Championship

Score would have been 38-35, right?

Yes. With over six minutes to go in the game.

The full on implosion of the Niners would have been in effect cause you can believe that if they'd blown that 21-0 lead to be up by only 3 in the final six minutes, I have zero doubt that Steve Young would have choked and the Cowboys would have comeback and won that game.

i welcome this every time this subject comes up cause it allows me to vent... i agree with cej757 100%!!! we get that call and the ball is at the 2 yard line. we score to make it 35 to 38 with two minutes left and two timeouts. we were getting to steve young late in the game and he had 2 fumbles. the below sea level, candle stick park mud pit was wet. the ball was wet. we will get to steve young and get the ball and we will score to win that game. no doubt in my mind. what i want to know is who was that referee in the corner looking right at the play. where is he from. what was his logic in the no call. tell me mr. referee. they get off scot free. barry switzer got a fifteen yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after that no call aimed at the referee because he was rightfully super hot at the bad call. now, michael irvin decribed what he should have done on the air after the dez bryant no catch debacle. he said like dez, i should have gone to the highest point to catch the ball instead of letting this perfectly thrown ball fall into my arms. i would have out jumped deon sanders for the ball and made the catch. fair and honest for him to say. i could write another page on why we should have won four in a row. 1996 was super tough to overcome the michael irvin injury against carolina to continue on to win five in a row.
i've always conidered the 1992 cowboys as the best team ever. that team would have beaten the 60's packers, the 70's cowboys, the 70's steelers, the 80's forty niners... NO DOUBT! go cowboys from tulsa, oklahoma...

Missed a chip shot FG on a sloppy field and gave up a back breaking TD to Rice in the dying moments of the first half. That was the margin of victory right there.....

And yet... As bad as that half was... The game was in reach. I felt the comeback. It was surreal.

Then when it didn't happen I was in shock.

I remember like it was yesterday. Then.... SBXXX win was therapy.

It was interference, but so were hundreds of push-offs by Irvin over the years.

That 21-0 disaster early in the game was the culprit.

Push-offs by Irvin weren't as blatant and never broke any rules. It was until they decided that they needed to make a rule about it that Irvin started getting flagged.

Cowboys would've won that game if the ref makes that call no doubt about it. The momentum would've been way too much for Steve Young to handle in that moment. Young had a lot of pressure on him in those days trying to replace Montana and he was on the hot seat because he couldn't beat the Cowboys and get to a Super Bowl.

IMO that game was the most important game in Steve Young's career and he probably doesn't get in the Hall of Fame without that win.

I wasn't as confident. We had Barry Switzer as the coach, and he would have found a way to lose it for us.

Having said that, I agree with your Steve Young assessment. I always thought Jimmy Johnson leaving became Steve Young's ticket to the Super Bowl and Hall of Fame. Jimmy's teams always had him figured out.

We should have run the clock out and gone into the locker room down by 10. Instead, Aikman throws three straight incompletions, giving the Niners the ball back with 30 seconds left. Boom - Jerry Rice touchdown and the Niners go into the half with a 17 point lead. :(

I was just as ticked about Dez getting his clear catch overturned

I'm still trying to get over the Dez no catch call and you guys re-aggravate an old wound? What the hell is wrong with y'all?

Can I at least finish my morning Ovaltine?
:angry:

That 92 team was the best in my opinion. Hands down.

No. Wandstedt's and Davis's defenses had Steve figured out. Jimmy was only good from Monday thru Sat.

Wait, I thought this was a JG thread. My bad. :facepalm:

Early turnovers also put us into a hole quickly
