I remember the cowboy/49er championship games in the 90s being even more exciting than the Super Bowls.

As a bills fan, I cannot remember any “Super Bowl” at all in the 90’s. They called them off for a while in the 90s because of a strike or something. Do not fact check me.

I moved into a rented industrial warehouse in Dallas two days before Super Bowl XXVII - Dallas Cowboys vs. Buffalo Bills - January 31st, 1993. It was a Friday afternoon the day I took the lease for the 3000 sf warehouse on the edge of Dallas and Las Colinas. I signed the contract, got the keys, as I was leaving the office, the building owner informed me that teakwood pool furniture was stored in the back corner of the building, and that someone would be by Monday morning to pick it up, he also said that the furniture belonged to Troy Aikman, and the chairs had just been stripped and reconditioned. I told him that Monday would be fine to pick them up and not to worry about them being there until Monday. I left his office pretending not be excited that Aikman’s pool furniture will be in my house during the Super Bowl. (I lived there for six months, threw raves and rented space to my art director friends.) Needless to say we watched the game in Aikman’s chairs.

I remember that game because I was living in Japan and my grandmother was a huge Tory Aikman fan. Since Super Bowl Sunday in the states was early Monday, my grandmother made us stay home from school to watch it. I didn’t remember the outcome, I remember being super excited because I wasn’t at school.

Cowboys won, they always won in 90s, especially when playing the bills.

Tory Aikman was good nodoubt but his brother Troy was exceptional at QB for the Dallas Cowfuckers

Don't look now but there's a 75% chance the Bills will play a team from the NFC East if they make it.

Well, the Giants/Bills Super Bowl was pretty good till the end… I rewatch the ending a couple years back and all I could think of is how slow the Bills offense looked in the last the 2 minutes.

The year the 49ers killed the Chargers, the game against the Cowboys was pretty much the Superbowl.

That's like the year the Colts beat the Patriots in the AFC championship game. Then they went on to beat the bears in a rainy game that no one really fucking remembers, except for Prince everyone remembers Prince in the rain.

Is there anything we can do?

Prince: can you make it rain harder?

Even as a Colts fan, all I remember about that game was Hester running back the opening kickoff for a TD.

Because we all went "I can't believe we beat the Patriots just to fuck up against this awful Bears team."

Luckily, the Bears were exactly as bad as we thought they were.

They were who you thought they were. But this time you didn’t let them off the hook.

You're right, I don't remember that SB at all but I remember Prince's halftime show!

The year the Seahawks killed the Broncos, it was really that SF/SEA NFC Championship Game that ended with the Sherman pick that settled it all.

I think you can make that case for all 3 of those games in the 90s. Not like the Cowboys Bills Super Bowls were very close

Biased as a 49er’s fan growing up, but I can’t think of a better team to be a fan of at the time . The Montana/Young/Rice trinity was so explosive .

I definitely think this upcoming one has a chance at being more exciting than this year's super bowl.

They were because the Super Bowl was typically a blowout at that time. Go Niners!
