Going to the ground? That's a penalty in this day and age.

That was a sickening Saturday afternoon. My brother-in-law at the time was from D.C. and was a big Skins fan.

That was a bad loss and you just knew we were starting to decline as a team.

I don't know, I always thought his routine was corny.

Now that's a great memory you have Captain America! I wonder how many remember the NFC Championship being played on Saturday afternoon during the strike year? I remember reading the Baltimore Sun newspaper that morning and it had a picture of Cowboys former starting guard Herb Scott wearing a suit as the Cowboys arrived in DC the eve before the game. I was jacked only to be heart broken as we lost our 3rd straight NFC Championship game.

I thought it was the 2nd straight NFCC loss. Philly-Wash-SF, right?

No the 3rd... because I remember still hurting from 'the catch' a whole year earlier!

Who left the family? You or him?

I used to emulate that dance as a child when we played backyard football, I've searched for the "California Quake" dance for years never to really find it, despite the loss in the game I really appreciate this video.......

Your youth is showing Boyzm. Us old heads know that order like the back of our hands.

I forgot how lame that California Quake was. Players today would be LOL on that one.

OK. I could've sworn SF was last. It's even more impressive that they went back to the NFCC after that total devastation. Anyway, every one of those losses was brutal.

I loved those uniforms.

Butch Johnson was one of my favorite players as a kid, and I used to do the California Quake every time I'd score a TD.
