Am assuming this is the one where Emmitt got stuffed.

First, was totally shocked we didnt get it fairly easily. Their defense was worn out at that point.

Second, it might have been the most nobrainer play call of Norv's time here to call a play action pass and have Aikman either walk in himself or find a guy wide open with nobody near him. Every Niner was waiting on Emmitt.
That was a scary point in the game.

I wonder if Jones had a convo with Jimmy (or Parcells) about the Parsons situation.

We know he talks to both of them.

Everybody knew it too. Hell I knew it after the 1983 season. He was an amazing HC and clearly an even better man, but the game had passed him by. We had an awful 1984 and then the kinda flukey 1985 season where we won the division (3 way tie) but also had several embarrassing blowout losses and then a complete flub in the postseason. 86 was a dumpster fire after White got hurt (who was surprisingly playing ok), 87 was bad, 88 was a train wreck. They waited several yrs too long and kept Gil Brandt in his role far too long as well. His drafts from 78-87 were just as inept as it got. His last draft (88) was by far his best in a decade.
