So far this weekend I've watched the 92 Championship game at SF, the 92 SB win and the 1st half of the 93 NFC Championship game vs SF.
Its amazing how good the 92/93 Cowboys were. Those were certainly good days. The talent, the coaching & execution. All elite.
Really miss the days of Jimmy and The Triplets.

In today's NFL, just when everyone thinks they know what's going to happen, the opposite does.
This isn't the 90s when you knew the Cowboys would beat the Bills or the 49ers would beat the Chargers. This reminds me of the Patriots first Super Bowl win against the Rams. Rams were the greatest show on turf, and the Pats defense methodically smothered them.
I'm picking the Broncos. 90% sure they'll at least cover.
(In no way am I rooting for Peyton to right the crime that his brother has more Super Bowl wins than he does.)

I believe Peyton is going to have another game like he did at the end of the season when he was benched in favor of Ostweiler
He will get picked off at least three times, sacked 2-3 times and pressured all day like Carson Palmer did. I think it will get to a point where he should be benched but because it's his last NFL game of his career they will keep him in no matter what. He will be embarrassed by the Panthers D!
Either that or he he will do just the opposite because this is the most important game of his entire career.
Carolina 34
Denver 27
SB MVP Cam Newton
did I mention I hate Denver!

I want Dware to have the greatest game of his career. Outside of that I could care less really.

So today I watched the 2nd half of the 2nd super bowl win over Buffalo.
Its just amazing how good we were. We played PERFECT halves of football in the 2nd half of the NFC Champ at SF in 92, perfect in the 1st half of the 93 NFC Championship vs SF and perfect again in the 93 Super Bowl win 2nd half vs Buffalo.
It just sux Jerry had to be a stupid drunk and not realize how great he had it with Jimmy.

The Broncos made a surprising decision for the Super Bowl, and it shows the game is in their head
Business Insider Cork Gaines Feb 7th 2016 7:37AM
The Denver Broncos' first major decision for Super Bowl 50 was a curious one: They will wear their white jerseys, the team has announced.
The decision is eyebrow-raising on a couple of levels. As the designated home team, the Broncos had the first choice about which color jersey to wear, and typically teams wear their color jerseys as the home team.
Before the announcement, ESPN's Paul Lukas, who also writes a daily column at Uni-Watch.com, had called the idea of the Broncos ultimately deciding to wear their white jerseys "highly unlikely" based on their own history.
"Aside from 1971, when they wore white at home for the entire season, the Broncos have worn white at home for only a handful of games in their history," Lukas wrote. More important, the decision suggests that the Broncos are worried about their own history in the Super Bowl — which is not great — just as much as they are worried about the Carolina Panthers.
In making the announcement that the Broncos would indeed defy convention and wear their away jersey, John Elway, the team's executive VP of operations and general manager, cited the team's past Super Bowl performances for the decision, strongly suggesting this was a decision based on superstition.
"We've had Super Bowl success in our white uniforms, and we're looking forward to wearing them again in Super Bowl 50," Elway said. While Elway refers to the team's "success" in white uniforms in the Super Bowl, it would seem what he is really referring to is the team's lack of success in the Super Bowl while wearing their orange jerseys.
While the team did win a Super Bowl in white, they also lost one in white. The Broncos are 0-4 in Super Bowls while wearing orange — including two years ago when they were thumped, 43-8, by the Seattle Seahawks.
But to turn away from the orange jersey because of past Super Bowl results also means the Broncos will be turning away from their success this season. The Broncos are 8-1 this season, including the playoffs, in their orange jersey, while they are 5-2 in white.
How the players perform will determine whether or not the Broncos will win the Super Bowl and not their jersey color. But athletes are notoriously superstitious, and with the Broncos opting not to wear orange, it shows their own Super Bowl history is in their head more than this one game. That seems like a strange way to start the two-week run up to the Big Game.
Meanwhile, the Panthers are showing that they are not worried about past results, as they will wear their black jerseys despite being 0-2 in the playoffs with that color choice.

Interesting start, 10-0 Denver (but Im 25 mins behind on my DVR)
Didn't expect that at all, at least from Denver.
I like it
