European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - January 13, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse Wednesday january 13, 1993 sports the stars and stripes Page 29 Center stage by Dave Goldberg 5ap football writer its perfect symmetry. In 1981, the Dallas cowboys Quot americans team Quot went to san Francisco to meet the upstart 49ers, who had been 214 just two years earlier. Now. It s the cowboys 1-15 three seasons ago travelling to candlestick to meet a team that won that game on Quot the catch Quot by Dwight Clark at the end of the first of Many game winning drives by Joe Montana. The liners went on to become the team of the �?T80s and now will try to fend off a Dallas team that Many predict will become the team of the 90s, a it s been a Long Road since we were 115,�?� quarterback Troy Aikman said after the 34-10 Over the eagles on sunday earned the cowboys the trip to san Francisco based on recent history Dallas san Francisco will be the real super bowl a the pfc has won eight straight nil to ties and the 49ers and cowboys 14-2 and 13-3 in the regular season were the Best two teams in the league this year. The acc game will have its own intrigue. While the 49ers try to take the step that could put them a game away from becoming the first team Ever to win five super bowls Buffalo is on the Road to negative history a no team has Ever lost the a Fly a ultimate game three straight times. They la be up against a familiar opponent Miami with whom they split two games this season winning 26-20 in Miami where next sundays game will be played. A its the deepest Miami has advanced into the playoffs since losing the acc title game to new England after the 1985 season. That s the closest that Dan Marino 31, has come to the super bowl since he took the dolphins there in his record breaking 1984 season. What happened when he got there he and the dolphins lost to the 49ers, of course. Here a a look at sunday s games Dallas 14-3 at san Francisco 15-2 Given the pfc s Streak in super bowls the Winner of this game Between the leagues two Best teams will probably be favored by at least a touchdown in Pasadena. San Francisco has never cared much about the Home Field but it May this week. Candlestick was a swamp As the liners beat the redskins 20-13 saturday and it will probably remain so even with the of Miami tight end Keith Jackson welcomes Buffalo with open arms to the third meeting of the season Between the two teams. Forts of George Toma the Joe Montana of groundskeeper St who a being called in by the nil to try to fix it. The liners mind a bit. If the track stays slow it figures to negate Dallas biggest advantage a speech on both offence and defense. Quot Well have to work on our practice Fields get them a Little bit Muddy to get ready to go out there Quot Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson said sunday after the cowboys 34-10 demolition of Philadelphia. A strange thing happened saturday during Steve Youngs highs and lows in the 20-13 win Over Washington. Even during the worst of times a three fumbles and an interception in the muck a. No fans yelled Quot we want Joe Quot even when the just activated Montana began warming up when Young was shaken up after his third Fumble. Young was also Brilliant at times a he was four for four for 68 Yards and ran for 15 More on san Francisco a opening 83-Yard to drive. He admitted after the game to jitters in his first playoff Start and should be Tetter next week Field permitting. But Dallas defense contained Randall Cunningham on sunday and its swarming could also hold Down Youngs running meaning the Best Way to the end zone May be through the air. The same holds for Dallas is. The san Francisco defense Tough to run on easy to pass against during the regular season. But two of the main victims a cornerback Eric Davis and Strong safety David Whitmore were close to Brilliant against Washington on saturday perhaps an inkling of things to 13-5 at Miami 12-5 maybe what Buffalo needs is adversity rather than Prosperity after two seasons of cruising through the acc a although last years 10-7 win Over Denver in the acc title game Wasny to exactly a Breeze. Quot it was very important even with All of the injured players to show what we re made of a defensive end Bruce Smith said after playing with cracked ribs in saturdays z4-3 win in Pittsburgh its first Road playoff win in six games. Quot my bags weren to packed to go Home and i Don 1 think anybody Al Sci a were now its Back on the Road which May suit Buffalo As Well As Rich stadium where the fans have become Over critical. Smith will play with his bruised ribs thurnia Thomas with his hip Pointer and so will assorted other banged up Bills. But Frank Reich will almost surely be Back at quarterback for this rubber match a Jim Kelly was to begin working out on. His injured right knee just monday a giving the experience Cage to Marmo. But Reich Bas been car per fact in the playoffs. Miami oddly enough will continue to rely on its defense led by second year Man Bryan Cox and rookies Marco Cole Man and Troy Vincent. The 31 Points they scored sunday in their shutout of san Diego arc 11 More than the dolphins had scored in 11 games going Back to oct. 18 and Miami Nad scored Only five ads in its last five games going in. But the first three ads sunday were set up by interceptions two by Vincent and one by Cox. North class the key Factor remains Marino. Or As Smith put it sunday Quot anytime Dan Marino is in charge of anything the Styfs the limit for the Miami league releases team by team list of free agents new York up1 following Are the National football league players who will become free agents in March under the new collective bargaining agreement minimum five years service and contracts expired at the end of the t992 season Atlanta Falcons 15 v Bobby Butler do Jeff Donaldson do Tracy Eaton do Bill Frallic to Mike Gann do Tim Green do Drew Hill or Houston Hoover of Tim Mckyer Der Chris Millerq John Rade la Michael Reid la Elbert Shelley do Jesse Solomon la Wade Wilson a a.
