SB 27 on NFLN

I predict the Cowboys win. Let me know how it turns out.

I predict that you won't see the Red Hand Clapper or the Monkey on the sideline.

Clappy was there actually. Doing his thang

 

[KJJ]

I didnt realize how slow NOVACEK was!!!!

But Novacek on rare occasion could jump and make a catch which is something I've never seen Witten do in 13 years.

Yes but he wasn't the violent hand clapper of today.

In watching the Lett gaffe, I always wonder why players escorting the guy who gets the turnover don't turn around to see who's coming. That's one of my pet peeves in football. Why are you running down the field with the guy who has the ball with the pursuers at your back?

Turn around and find someone to block.

You're absolutely right Tyke. Jimmie Jones looked to his left but never to the sidelines where Beebe was coming up like he was shot out of a rocket. Beebe was easily the fastest player on the field that day but his great play should never have happened. Jones could have helped out Lett but ultimately this epic fail is on Lett.

IIRC Lett beat out Danny Noonan for the final roster spot for the DT rotation. I liked Noonan coming out of college. To this day, he and Chad Hennings are the only two Cowboys defensive players who could outlift Randy White.

I never cared for arrogant showboating - probably something I got from being such a fan of Coach Landry - and for that reason the play by Lett has always stuck in my crawl.

When you think about it, had the refs flagged Buffalo when Frank Reich crossed the LOS on his 40 yd TD pass and had Lett finished the play the way he should have the Cowboys would have set SB records for points scored and margin of victory. Had they done that IMO more people would consider the 92 Cowboys and not the 85 Bears or 89 49ers as the greatest team of the SB era. For that reason I think those two plays had historical significance.

Lett had a free run to the end zone no one saw anyone who had a chance to make a play especially Beebe who despite his speed looked to be too far behind to catch him. Had Lett not slowed up and started to coast he would have scored easily. Even as much as he slowed up Beebe barely caught him at the goal line.

I tuned in just in time to see Ken Norton Jr.'s play. We were invincible and I miss that.

Those teams would simply impose their will on other teams.

I'm patiently waiting for those days to return.

I hate the FA era.

Sb 27 on NFLN right now

Caught a little bit of that earlier. Forgot Larry Brown had a nice interception in the second quarter of that game.

I was a big Danny Noonan fan when we drafted him. I remember watching the local sports shows and it showed a clip of Danny just throwing the center/guard to the ground. When he got off the juice, he became more of a average player.

Last year was as close as we have got to those halcyon days of the 90s, but alas short lived...
