Smith dropping the TD, for sure. That play, quite honestly, turned out to be the difference in the score. Who knows if the outcome might have been different if he catches that.

So, yeah, that play may have very well cost us another Superbowl title.

The Catch, bad as it was, wouldn't have been as bad cause all it did was stop us from going to the Superbowl. There is no telling rather we'd actually have won it had we got there. The Smith drop we were actually in the SB, and in the game.

Not only the bad routes ran by Steelers receivers in XXX helped us tremendously(at the time, our D was just gassed up our arses), but less not also forget The Fumble by Thurman Thomas in XXVIII that completely turned around the momentum of that game(up 'till then, the Bills were controlling the tempo of it).

Pt being that we coulda, woulda, shoulda beat the Steelers twice in the 70's. But on the contrary, the Bills in '93 and Pitt in '95 let us off the hook probably just as much. Everything evened out in the end.

MIck,

you might want to check out the black helicopters circling over your trailer too. I know you are just "calling it as you SEE it" but as usual you are wrong. There was no sinister meaning to the thread. I was reading some NFL history today that had me remembering things that I had forgotten and many of those things I was reading included the Cowboys. Nothing more and nothing less. Sorry you were offended by what you SEE as a "troll-like" thread when nothing of the sort was intended. Typical reaction of yours tho. You always look for a meaning that doesnt exist and make up one to suit your rant. Good
job Stevie Wonder!


You are what you are... everyone here knows it.

Its fun for you.... I get it.

1-Bart Starrs QB sneak in the NFC Championship game-"The Icebowl"
2-Jim Obriens field goal in Super Bowl V that won the game at the end.
3-Montana to Clark NFC Championship game-"The Catch"
4-Super Bowl XIII-Jackie Smith dropping a TD catch in the endzone.

Lot of heartbreaking moments there for the fans.

The catch of course. I was 9 years old, just moved from San Antonio to Detroit. I thought the Cowboys were following me to Detroit for the SB and then that BS!

Jackie Smith...and it's not even close. I have lamented this play on this forum before. I'm still scarred.

I was watching the game with my dad. When Jackie dropped the ball, I heard cuss words from my dad that had never been uttered before or since by any mortal being. It was a horrifying wound on my childhood psyche.

I remember the Obrien field goal what a heart breaker, but the Catch oh how I hate to see that play. That play is the most painful thing to watch.

One thing about the game vs the 9ers as bad as it felt losing the game to this day I still consider that one of the greatest playoff games in NFL history. From a pure football stand point that was a great game. Anyone who was around for the Cowboys vs Colts SB knows that was a sloppy game by both teams with a lot of mistakes and turnovers.
