The Cowboys and the Giants
Well we will see a big division rival in the playoffs :wave: These 2 teams are big rivals. Also both of these teams have a lot of history in the playoffs and they both have been to the Super Bowl and won the Super Bowl. But these 2 teams have never met in the playoffs.
I saw the Cowboys beat the Giants in Texas Stadium in 1995. This was right after everything was looking bad for the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas had just lost to Philadelphia and that put Philadelphia close behind us in the division race and it put San Francisco in the lead in the NFC with us now being in second place in the NFC. Also everyone was talking about how Barry Switzer went for it on 4 down at the Cowboys 29 yard line. I have always said that Barry did what he felt he needed to do to win the game and I have always respected him for that call and it took a lot of guts for him to make that call. Even though everything looked bad for the Cowboys we did clinch a playoff spot that week.
Anyways after Philadelphia beat us 20 to 17, I went to see the Cowboys play the Giants. The Giants were like 4-10 at that time or something like that and we had beat the Giants on the road 35 to 0 and now we had them at our home field. But this time the Cowboys had a hard time with the Giants. The Giants played us tough this time. In fact the Cowboys did not even get a touchdown in the whole game. We had an awesome field goal kicker named Chris Boniol. Chris Boniol kept making long field goals during the game. Then the last play of the game was coming up it was the Giants 20 and the Cowboys 18. Chris Boniol scored all of those 18 points and he had not missed one field goal during the game. The last play of the game was another Chris Boniol field goal. We just needed him to make one more field goal. If he missed it we lost and if he made it we won. I was so nervous

Well Chris Boniol made the field goal and we went on to win 21 to 20 :king: Chris Boniol was the MVP of the game :king:
During the week that we beat the Giants 21 to 20, San Francisco also won. The next week would be the last game of the regular season. Dallas had a record of 11-4 and so did San Francisco, but since San Francisco beat us that year they would win the tie-breaker. The next week San Francisco got beat and Dallas won. Dallas had a 12-4 and San Francisco had a 11-5 record, so Dallas had home field advantage threwout the playoffs. San Francisco would have to beat us in Texas Stadium in the playoffs. San Francisco never even met us in the playoffs, because Green Bay knocked them off and then we knocked off Green Bay in the NFC Championship and then we went on to beat Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl :king: This was when we won our 5th Super Bowl :king:
Now if we had not beaten the Giants 21 to 20 in that game that year, the playoffs could have turned out very different for us. San Francisco could have clinched home field advantage threwout the playoffs. I would like to think that Dallas still would have won the Super Bowl that year, but you never know. San Francisco was awesome back then. Also in any case I have always looked at that Cowboys and Giants game as a turning point for the Cowboys that year.
Well when we play the Giants this time in Texas Stadium, I hope it does not come down to another field goal at the end of the game. I hope we get the lead early and win big. But I will be happy with any win we get. Anyways I will have my radio with me in DisneyWorld, so if I am not by a Tv during the Cowboy and Giant game, I will listen to it on the radio (I will listen to it on the radio even if I am am watching in on tv at the same time) :wave: Go Cowboys :sohappy:
