@@supersexysega that and Alvin harper had left for a bunch of money from Tampa bay buccaneers if yall remember that affected their passing offense big-time
@@ericpackers1700 Yea Alvin fit into our offense perfectly. Deepthreat 50/50 ball guy. He obviously got exposed after Dallas because he needed to be in that specific role to succeed. Dallas not replacing him was a huge miss. They didn't need a high paid guy just someone to stretch the field and be adequate with the 50/50's. We thought in 97' we had him replaced with Anthony Miller but he wasn't as fast as he used to be and brought next to nothing as far as 50/50's are concerned.
The cowboys bread and butter was the oline and running game, they pushed people off the ball for years and didn't have that edge anymore. The run was over, Irvin wasn't changing it
buster60341 their dynasty was made on ridiculous depth of talent due to the Herschel Walker trade and killed due to the salary cap taking said players. They never had good coaches and didn't really develop talent. They just had tons of high draft picks and guys they signed for lots of money like Haley.
Both Jacksonville and Carolina were 2nd yr expansion teams. Who in this same week pulled off upsets. Jacksonville's had to cut deep cause they did it against Denver in Denver who had a 13-3 record

My youngest brother Juan and I may not agree with all things but one area were we march too the same beat is equality of treatment for those who served in the First Gulf War, Bosnia, Korea, Y2K and finally 911. For some reason Mr. John Evan Davis, Mr. Dwayne Keith Thurman, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Spokane Housing Authority, the Spokane Veterans Administration Hospital in Spokane, Washington and finally those in charge of the veterans living not living at 206 S. Post in Spokane, Washington are helping white veterans with medical and dental care only on the 7th floor. My brother who has a Spanish first name of Juan, two French middle names of pb and Pierre and a shared Irish last name who lives at the address above except for the 4th floor for the last four years cannot even receive mental health care in the SVAH urgent care section. Why is that?
I had watched the cowboys all through the great run they had and this loss felt different. Carolina pushed them around the way they had pushed everyone else around for years. As great as it was, the run was over probably a week sooner than most people thought.
I remember this on a Sunday and man I was excited for my city to be on national TV and blasted Dallas in this game roughing up everyone. I was 15 then. Dallas ain't been the same since to be honest 😁 🙏🏾💪🏾
I love looking back at 1990's expansion teams from all sports. They all had early success and then each of them fell apart. Interesting content to look at.
I was there. I was young and so excited. My first NFL game with my Dad (RIP) who was a Redskins fan. My Mom stood in line for hours at the Disc Jockey to get tickets and they were the highest seats at the stadium. I was an excited young man and now a life long Panthers fan! I still have the ticket stub and Prowl Towel they gave us!
I was 10 years old at this time and I was extremely proud of both the Panthers and Jaguars for being one game from the Super Bowl in each of their second seasons.
Grew up a Dallas Cowboys fan. I was 23 when we finally got a team here in Carolina, so it was odd pulling against the Cowboys in this game. Still pull for them when they don't play the Panthers. Amazing it's been 23 years since that first Panthers game. RIP Sam Mills......Keep Pounding!!!!
I remember watching this game like it was yesterday. Watching the game and having beer and bbq with all my buddies. Not a care in the world. Man time flies.
When my Ram's left LA, and when Carolina beat my rival the 49er's , I became a Panthers fan. Now, my Rams are back! The Carolina Panthers will always be my second favorite team.
I remember watching this game at the time, as a huge cowboys fan, this game always stuck in my mind. Both because of Irvin leaving the game, and this being the real start of the downfall of a team I watched win 3 super bowls as a kid.
If Irvin stays in the game they probably have a game winning drive. Dallas suffered so many injuries that year and not having Novachek and Haley and some key defensive players it really showed. If everyone was healthy Dallas probably goes to another super bowl
Acting like they would have beaten the 96 Packers that throttled every opponent they played in the playoffs. That Packers team was heads and shoulders over everyone that year. #1 Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. Dallas only beat them in the regular season because Favre was down all of his receivers.
I'm a Cowboys fan that lives in South Carolina, and I remember all the Panther fans acting like they had won a championship after this. (It was pretty funny.) For us, it was the beginning of the end. Especially after we missed out on Randy Moss.
Even as a registered #1 cowboy’s hater (don’t know why cowboy’s fans think that’s an insult) I’ll say this. They went out like true champions. Aikman was hurt, Emmit was banged up, plus they lost Irvin the first quarter and Deion later in the game. Considering they played hard. Props to y’all.
Christian McCaffrey was born when his team was in the playoffs, their franchise's first division title, and their primary home in Charlotte at BoA Stadium. Acquired Tight End Wesley Walls (who would become a Pro Bowler with the team), Guard Greg Skrepenak, Cornerback Eric Davis, and Hall of Famer Kevin Greene (still holds the record for most sacks by a Linebacker), and rookies Tim Biakabututka, Winslow Oliver and Muhsin Muhammad (the Moose! Who caught the 85-yard touchdown in their first Super Bowl appearance in 2003) #KeepPounding
Reason for the Jags and Panthers early success... take a look at their rosters. They were stacked with freaking athletes collected from each team in the NFL. I think each team allotted two players and both expansion franchises were able to sort out the best of all those and ended up with some serious talent to go along with some high draft choices. Carolina defense really benefited from this with what looks like an all star pro bowl roster of sorts. No wonder they were both so fast to the Championship game
coaching was a factor for Jacksonville as well. Coughlin left Boston College and stayed a year with the Jaguars without games, just planning their team
@@doubletake1238 Coughlin was a beast on the sidelines. Two rings with the Giants, both as a dark horse. Capers was the only HC of two expansions in history (Carolina and Houston Texans)
Carolina did a really good job selecting the right veterans to be good so fast. Of course it wasn’t meant to last long term. Jax actually did a better job of building a more long term team for a few years after this.
“How bout them Cowboys!”🤠 Either you love them or hate them, there’s no in between. 👀I’ve been a Dallas fan since Stauback, the 70’s, even after losing to the Steelers in Superbowl 10. I was 9 yrs old! Whoot whoot.
James Dawkins Jr. Yep! It's hard to watch standard definition games now that we are so used to seeing games in HD. Although, the quality of this game is still pretty good, especially for being 20 years ago.
Born and raised in North Carolina but a Dallas fan since 92 and I stayed a Dallas fan( I do root for the Panthers as long as it’s not against us ) If only we would’ve had Irvin the whole game ! Not to mention a handful of other important player injuries. This was the beginning of the end of our great dynasty.
@@rhey81 They had the talent to win 1 or 2 more Lombardi Trophies.......Jerry Jones has been an even bigger saboteur of his team than a good owner of the Dallas Cowboys from 1996 to Present.
at the time, it was only some pills for the migaine and you would be back in the game. after former players started to win lawsuits against the league due to their own concussions, they had to change things
25 years later, the Cowboys still haven’t won a division game. Since ‘96, they’re 0-6 and counting in the division round. WFT and the Lions are the only NFC teams to go longer without reaching the conference title game.
1:51:35 Pat Summerall "A dejected Aikman, a dejected Emmitt Smith and the throne and the crown are slipping" The end of the 90's Dallas Cowboys Dynasty
Miss these days of the nfl sooooo much , alot for physical and throwing for 4000 yards was rare lmao now guys roll out of bed and put up stats like that
@@ericpackers1700 Me too bro! And I definitely agree on what ur saying. This is the NFL Fantasy Football league what were watching now lol. It was nice seeing Aaron Donald end the Super Bowl with his 2 BIG defensive plays at the end.
@@rickquesada925 Not a Carolina Panther fan over here lol. I was fan of Pat Summerall & John Madden. I actually enjoyed watching the 90's Cowboys back in day. Great team! But it's been a very long time since the Cowboys have been to a Conference Championship/Super Bowl. Will see what happens this year if they can make a run. It starts Monday night in Tampa
I love beating Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs. We played a big part in their having won no playoff game in over 20 years. We lost two SBs, but dominating the Cowboys in the playoffs feels great. Go Panthers!! Keep Pounding!!
Pretty much the end of the Cowboys dynasty. They went 6-10 the next season, got back to the playoffs in '98, and were humiliated by the generally-hapless Arizona Cardinals to render the Aikman-Emmitt years fully dead and buried.
This was the collapse of the seemingly indestructible Cowboys! They never fully recovered..The next year they finished 6-10, and Barry Switzer was fired..The following year they made the playoffs but were quickly dispatched in the first round, and then team imploded until 2003..but by then the fearsome three were long gone!!
I agree. However, I mentioned this to someone awhile back. I don't think Dallas would have won the following week had they beaten Carolina here. No Charles Haley, no Leon Lett, Irvin probably would not have played, no Ray Donaldson, no Deion Sanders. Also, that game would have been at Lambeau Field, and I think it would have just been asking too much to be able to win that game. I mean, sure, Dallas still had Aikman, Smith, Johnston, Newton, Williams, Tuinei...those guys, but the problem is that when Irvin was knocked out of the game, Williams had to become a number one receiver, which is just something that he wasn't. If Dallas HAD won this game, it would have almost been like...asking a....how to word it.....number two team...playing against a team that was pretty much loaded offensively and defensively, and expecting the number two team to win. The mountain would have been too big to climb, I think. Does that make sense? Believe me, I am not trying to bash the Cowboys, I am just saying that going to Lambeau Field had they won this game and being expected to be able to do it again would be too much in my opinion to ask.
Kevin Greene # 91 Steelers Kevin Greene # 91 Panthers What a difference a year makes. He loses in Super Bowl 30, and then jumps ship and gets Revenge and knocks off the World Champions.
They were. Unfortunately they lost to the best team the Green Bay Packers. This was similar to the 91 Lions and Redskins. Either team that year would have won it all.
I'm a raiders fan but as a kid I was pulling for the Panthers since the raiders weren't an option and I loved that they were brand new yet upset the defending champions. Made me a Kerry Collins and then he came to Oakland and he killed my hopes of having a great qb lol
Man growing up in NC I always watched Panthers games since Raiders games were rare. Carolina always being really good or really horrible. Their first Super Bowl game would have converted me from the Raiders to the Panthers, but old Tom Brady did his crap.
1:54:08 the panthers enticed former Dallas Cowboy QB Roger staubach not only a College football HOFer but his bronzed bust is in canton, OH the home for the Pro football HOF
As good as Aikman was as a thrower, his biggest flaw was that he wasn’t athletic enough to carry a team when the chips were down. Things had to be perfect around him for him to be successful. Players like Elway, Staubach, Montana, and Brady made stuff happen no matter who was on the field.
At the same time you could say the Jaguars upset victory over the broncos robbed us of a patriots vs broncos afc championship game. And I'm sorry but there is no way NE defeats DEN at Mile high
@@jefferystewart5576 especially on the night, with snow in the forecast. But, it's football. You're the better team, the better campaign, but you still have to play. My father always says that tthe game is played and the catfish is fished. It applies to the scenario of the upset
Irvin getting hurt changed the whole complexion of this game.. All Carolina had to do was T up on Emmitt after that.. Seemed Dallas had the chance to upset Carolina pretty easily and who knows how that championship game would have gone since Dallas beat GB earlier in the year, cause as we saw the Panthers were no where near on GB's level..
Cowboys were 10-2 with Irvin and 2-4 without him in 96'. Not counting the week 17 game when the Cowboys laid down for the Redskins in a meaningless game. He was our most important player that year by a wide margin.
@@ericpackers1700 Yea you could say meaningless Cowboys game and meaningful for Washington beacuse of RFK otherwise they would have probably laid down as well.
They had a damn good chance still. They just needed to be cash in the redzone and not lose the turnover battle. Both things they failed at in this game.
Easily is a stretch, but he was probably the most important player on the team in 96' due to the complete lack of quality depth and playmaking at WR that year. I think we win but it would have been within a touchdown margin.
R.I.P. Sam Mills. Hope he can be in the Hall of Fame some day.

I rather have at least 1 super bowl win than none like the panthers cuz that's what it's about winning a championship
@@greenspidey you must be a bandwagoner
The game was over once Irvin was knocked out of it. He was the heart and soul of the team and the biggest weapon in the passing offense.
In 96' the Cowboys were 9-2 with him and 2-3 without him. Strong argument can be made that he was the MVP of the league.

"Do you know where Charlotte, NC is now?!?" Perfect exclamation point to a great afternoon for the Panthers.
Maybe not but they know where carolina medical center is
This game was the beginning of the Dallas Cowboys downfall of the 90's.
buster60341 Yep. They lost their aura of invincibility after this game.
The lack of talent and good drafting and free agent signings. The Cowboys were not replenishing talent and were bled dry through free agency.
ipokluda I blame it on Jerry Jones ego and the salary cap was the reason for the downfall for the Cowboys in the 1990's.
no firing Johnson and FA and Injuries killed a once loaded roster. This team was done before this game even started.
buster60341 their dynasty was made on ridiculous depth of talent due to the Herschel Walker trade and killed due to the salary cap taking said players.
They never had good coaches and didn't really develop talent. They just had tons of high draft picks and guys they signed for lots of money like Haley.

51:11 Everyone remembers Larry Allen's chase against the Saints, but this one is also remarkable
Larry Allen was a freak of nature. I think the man above made him this large because if he was average sized he would be too powerful
Carolina did a really good job selecting the right veterans to be good so fast. Of course it wasn’t meant to last long term. Jax actually did a better job of building a more long term team for a few years after this.
The Jaguars and Panthers both made the 1996/97 conference championships

James Dawkins Jr. Yep! It's hard to watch standard definition games now that we are so used to seeing games in HD. Although, the quality of this game is still pretty good, especially for being 20 years ago.

Crazy how Kerry Collins fell off so quickly and then went to saints and giants before going to 2000 super bowl
Losing Irvin on the 2nd play of the game killed the super bowl hopes
They would of got smoked by Green Bay the next week. Panthers did U a favor.
Yeah, Irvin wasn't the difference. The cowboys were old and the Panthers beat them up, resulting in Irvin's injury. This is how dynasties end

1:14:42 "...and they just KEEP POUNDING at ya" Very early sighting of the Keep Pounding slogan
1:56:57 One of the single greatest moments in Carolina Panthers history.
1:51:35 Pat Summerall "A dejected Aikman, a dejected Emmitt Smith and the throne and the crown are slipping"
The end of the 90's Dallas Cowboys Dynasty
Miss these days of the nfl sooooo much , alot for physical and throwing for 4000 yards was rare lmao now guys roll out of bed and put up stats like that
@@ericpackers1700 Me too bro! And I definitely agree on what ur saying. This is the NFL Fantasy Football league what were watching now lol. It was nice seeing Aaron Donald end the Super Bowl with his 2 BIG defensive plays at the end.
@@hollywoodhicks ya running backs aren't really as big as a team priority as it used to be
The Panthers have Never Won a Super Bowl that is an NFL Fact. The Cowboys have Won 5 Super Bowls. Let that sink in Panther Fans.
@@rickquesada925 Not a Carolina Panther fan over here lol. I was fan of Pat Summerall & John Madden. I actually enjoyed watching the 90's Cowboys back in day. Great team! But it's been a very long time since the Cowboys have been to a Conference Championship/Super Bowl. Will see what happens this year if they can make a run. It starts Monday night in Tampa
I love beating Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs. We played a big part in their having won no playoff game in over 20 years. We lost two SBs, but dominating the Cowboys in the playoffs feels great. Go Panthers!! Keep Pounding!!
You should add the Saints vs Rams widcard game from 2000 that would be nice too see.
R.I.P. Sam Mills, Kevin Greene, Pat Summerall, and John Madden
Amen
Pretty much the end of the Cowboys dynasty. They went 6-10 the next season, got back to the playoffs in '98, and were humiliated by the generally-hapless Arizona Cardinals to render the Aikman-Emmitt years fully dead and buried.
Can you guys upload the Broncos vs Steelers game from week 1 2012? Manning's first game as a Bronco.
By this point in their careers, the Dallas Cowboys were "satisfied" and were no longer interested in putting forth the effort necessary to win.
This was the collapse of the seemingly indestructible Cowboys! They never fully recovered..The next year they finished 6-10, and Barry Switzer was fired..The following year they made the playoffs but were quickly dispatched in the first round, and then team imploded until 2003..but by then the fearsome three were long gone!!
I remember Irvin going down early but on the 1st offensive play of the game??? Geeez...
On another note, Greg Kragen was STILL playing??? WOW!
This was the beginning of the end of Dallas playoff hopes
End of a dynasty
😔😔😔😔
I agree. However, I mentioned this to someone awhile back. I don't think Dallas would have won the following week had they beaten Carolina here. No Charles Haley, no Leon Lett, Irvin probably would not have played, no Ray Donaldson, no Deion Sanders. Also, that game would have been at Lambeau Field, and I think it would have just been asking too much to be able to win that game. I mean, sure, Dallas still had Aikman, Smith, Johnston, Newton, Williams, Tuinei...those guys, but the problem is that when Irvin was knocked out of the game, Williams had to become a number one receiver, which is just something that he wasn't. If Dallas HAD won this game, it would have almost been like...asking a....how to word it.....number two team...playing against a team that was pretty much loaded offensively and defensively, and expecting the number two team to win. The mountain would have been too big to climb, I think. Does that make sense? Believe me, I am not trying to bash the Cowboys, I am just saying that going to Lambeau Field had they won this game and being expected to be able to do it again would be too much in my opinion to ask.
of all teams the panthers to end the cowboy's dynasty haha just like the diamondbacks did to the yankees in 2001.
MOSLEYTV The salary cap ended the Cowboys dynasty. Everyone wanted their players. No depth left at all.
1990Thunderbolt and the Mavericks did to the Lakers in 2011!!!
MOSLEYTV that is wonderful way too end a dynasty! 😀😀😊😊
Kevin Greene # 91 Steelers
Kevin Greene # 91 Panthers
What a difference a year makes. He loses in Super Bowl 30, and then jumps ship and gets Revenge and knocks off the World Champions.
This was the best Panthers team ever established. Unfortunately, the Packers were better.
@@boogitybear2283 96 packers were wayyy better than the 97 one that lost the super bowl
@@ericpackers1700Of course because Andre Rison bolted for more money in Kansas City. He should have stayed in Green Bay.
Love this classic nostalgic
This panther team might be one of the best ever
They were. Unfortunately they lost to the best team the Green Bay Packers. This was similar to the 91 Lions and Redskins. Either team that year would have won it all.
@@boogitybear2283 91 lions?
@@ericpackers1700they were also the 2nd best team!
i was 7... I cried when the cowboys lost. I wasn't going to school i hated everything.
I was 17 and I cried 🤣
The cowboys have been curse ever since this game
They got whacked again same style no offense except Dak had cee dee lamb and washed up zeke
I'm a raiders fan but as a kid I was pulling for the Panthers since the raiders weren't an option and I loved that they were brand new yet upset the defending champions. Made me a Kerry Collins and then he came to Oakland and he killed my hopes of having a great qb lol
He became a drunk 🤣
Man growing up in NC I always watched Panthers games since Raiders games were rare. Carolina always being really good or really horrible. Their first Super Bowl game would have converted me from the Raiders to the Panthers, but old Tom Brady did his crap.
Great game the yr i staryed being a fan...of the Carolina Panthers
Wasn’t this the game that started “Keep pounding!”?
Collins had such a unique throwing motion.
Penn st former top pick
Lamar Lathon and Kevin Greene was one deadly combination back then, kinda like how Ware and Miller is today or Hali and Houston
Key Stats:
DAL:
Troy Aikman 18/36 pass, 165 yds, 1 TD, 3 INT
Emmitt Smith 22 car, 80 yds
Kevin Williams 6 rec (10 targets), 89 yds
CAR:
Kerry Collins 12/22 pass, 100 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT
Anthony Johnson 26 car, 104 yds
Willie Green 5 rec, 53 yds, 1 TD
Sam Mills 1 INT, 11 tackles
1:54:08 the panthers enticed former Dallas Cowboy QB Roger staubach not only a College football HOFer but his bronzed bust is in canton, OH the home for the Pro football HOF
That tailgate footage was hilarious
This was the point where the players Jimmy brought in could no longer make up for his absence from the organization.
As good as Aikman was as a thrower, his biggest flaw was that he wasn’t athletic enough to carry a team when the chips were down. Things had to be perfect around him for him to be successful. Players like Elway, Staubach, Montana, and Brady made stuff happen no matter who was on the field.
They still had to have there pieces to the puzzle and protection from a great o-line ! All the greats needed those pieces !!

This game robbed us of a highly anticipated Cowboys vs Packers NFC title game in Green Bay!
At the same time you could say the Jaguars upset victory over the broncos robbed us of a patriots vs broncos afc championship game. And I'm sorry but there is no way NE defeats DEN at Mile high
@@jefferystewart5576 especially on the night, with snow in the forecast. But, it's football. You're the better team, the better campaign, but you still have to play.
My father always says that tthe game is played and the catfish is fished. It applies to the scenario of the upset
@@jefferystewart5576 ur right about patriots not winning at mile high
Curse the cowboys for not being good enough lol
I was in Jerry's box for this game!
Irvin getting hurt changed the whole complexion of this game.. All Carolina had to do was T up on Emmitt after that.. Seemed Dallas had the chance to upset Carolina pretty easily and who knows how that championship game would have gone since Dallas beat GB earlier in the year, cause as we saw the Panthers were no where near on GB's level..
The league duped ppl into the miracle expansion teams that yr. Both defeated the next week.
Cowboys were 10-2 with Irvin and 2-4 without him in 96'. Not counting the week 17 game when the Cowboys laid down for the Redskins in a meaningless game.
He was our most important player that year by a wide margin.
@@supersexysega the last game at rfk?
@@ericpackers1700 Yea you could say meaningless Cowboys game and meaningful for Washington beacuse of RFK otherwise they would have probably laid down as well.
Cowboys were screwed without Novacek and Irvin. They had no chance
They had a damn good chance still. They just needed to be cash in the redzone and not lose the turnover battle. Both things they failed at in this game.
No Charles Haley. Either.
The beginning of Dallas's long fall from grace. Haven't won a Super Bowl since January 28, 1996, Super Bowl 30.
And have won 2 playoff games ....
My first time seeing this game as a fan. Defense was scary even then. Wow.
Irvin doesn’t go down we win this game easily
Easily is a stretch, but he was probably the most important player on the team in 96' due to the complete lack of quality depth and playmaking at WR that year. I think we win but it would have been within a touchdown margin.
Easily is a big stretch. 96 was a hard season. There were maybe 3 games they won easily that entire season with him
