  I just watched the whole thing and I remember it like it was yesterday. In my opinion the greatest game NFL has ever seen.

  It’s rarely mentioned but the Niners first TD was the same play as The Catch, except there was motion and Solomon doesn’t slip. The Cowboys actually read the play perfectly at the end of the game because they recognized it. Montana just made a hell of a play.

  Cowboys only drafted 1 pro bowler, in 7 seasons, from 1980-1986. &nbsp;Each year, they were losing key veterans to retirement and replacing them with late round picks and free agents. It was their own front office who sent the Cowboys into an 80s abyss.

  My grandfather, Arlan, in 1957 moved the family from Lincoln, Nebraska to San Jose, California. He worked at the Ford plant in Milpitas, California for 33 years. I was born in 1973. I was created in Buffalo New York, but born in San Jose, California. I was just a little boy when this game happened. My grandfather was a staunch 49ers fan. The 49ers had been terrible for years. Ironically his favorite players were Roger Staubach and O.J. Simpson. Simpson ended his career as a 49er. During the 1981 season the 49ers destroyed Dallas. I remember him saying during that game the 49ers now have their Roger Staubach. Damn was he right. Joe Montana was such a great QB. That 1981 team started up a very close friendship I had with my grandfather throughout the 1980s. The old man passed away in 1989. Our last game together was Super Bowl XXIII. I find myself watching the 1981 49ers team the most. It was a special group of men. That Josh Allen kid in Buffalo reminds me of Joe Montana. The old man would’ve been 91 today. Thank you for the upload. I subscribed. All the best.

  20 years later they would have called it the tuck rule when White pulled it back in then lost it..
