NFL Live Segment: What If?

[Nightman]

Before my time, but it changes everything.......Ice Bowl........3rd and goal........17-14 lead........16secs left, no TOs

 

[yimyammer]

probably one of the plays from the loss to the colts would have given them a win, problem is I can t remember the fame well enough to come up with which play

 

[StarBoyz83]

The 94 pi or the Romo fg fumble. Either one would result in a Sb win. Can't think of any others that wouldve meant a sb win.

 

[Bungarian]

The catch

 

[USMarineVet]

I remember sitting at the dinner table watching the game with my family.

THIS, caused me to jump out of my seat and almost spill the table over in the process. I'll never get it out of my head.

The catch

I would change the first play after that, when Drew Pearson was a desperation horse collar tackle away from taking it to the house.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Danny White's fumble in the NFC Championship game against the 9ers.

 

[tecolote]

Crayton stopping on his route against the Giants in the divisional playoff.

Crayton stopping on his route against the Giants in the divisional playoff.

Yeah that's second for me. But first is 94 NFC title. That Deion pass interference was blatant. We would have at least got the ball inside the 10 with 6 minutes left. No doubt in my mind that team would have self destructed if Dallas scored on that drive.

Interference call on was it Harris or Barnes against the Steelers 78 . Total bs and Lynn Swan apparently later agreed

It was on Barnes a terrible call which the NFL admitted it resulted in the incidental contact rule just a few months later

I was thinking the same play surprised it didn't come up sooner. Everyone remembers The Catch but that was a 3rd down play so if that play doesn't happen Montana could have very likely pulled the game out on 4th down. Had the finger tip jersey tackle on Pearson not happened he scores on that play. Danny White hit Pearson in stride that would have been a TD leaving SF with a couple of hail mary tries with a few seconds left. That catch would have put the Cowboys in the SB and Drew Pearson in the HOF.

I started following the Cowboys a year after that game. From watching the highlights as many times as I have if you wanted to change one play this might be the one although there were several plays that went against the Cowboys that could have changed the outcome.

I was only a few months old when that game was played if I'm going to change one play it's going to be one I suffered through.

 

[KJJ]

We were one play away in a number of games from sitting on about 9 or 10 Super Bowl trophies right now

Spoken like a true FAN. lol

Just thinking of the butterfly effect and how things might have changed for the better.

 

[JoeKing]

How many championships were we one play away from? Ice Bowl, The Catch, Jackie Smith dropping a TD pass in the endzone in SB XIII

Wow, we really should have 8 or 9 Championships.

 

[DogFace]

The catch

 

[rynochop]

Imagine this discussion in many NFL cities. They can't think of any

Viking fan would probably like to have had the push off called on Pearson.

 

[dreghorn2]

The Barnes pass interference without a doubt, time clouds our memories, but i don't think i've ever been more upset while watching a single play (youth and emotion etc..).

 

[NEODOG]

For me:
Jackie's drop..... Just speechless
Danny's fumble erases "the catch"
You can talk about #21 interference but Irvin having the ball stripped early, right after 49ers score changed the vibe of that game.
Tony's fumbled snap
