Best Games (or interesting matchups) that Never Happened

[readjack]

Here's a matchup we somehow never got: Warren Moon vs. Randall Cunningham!

Cowboys-Raiders in Super Bowl XII instead of Cowboys-Broncos.

If the Dolphins would have gotten in that year, I think they would have done better against Dallas than the Raiders would have, providing that they can get past the Raiders and Broncos (I think they beat the Raiders, but the Broncos seemed to be a team of destiny in the AFC that year).

I agree ... I actually believe the Raiders would have beaten the Cowboys in New Orleans, had they gotten out of Denver even though the Cowboys were my team. The Cowboys had firepower but the Raiders secondary still had Willie Brown, Jack Tatum and rookie Lester Hayes. The Cowboys would have had no answer for Branch and Casper. The Raiders offensive line was better than Denver's as well. The only question was could the Raiders stop Dorsett?

I agree as the Raiders linebackers didn't have the speed to stay with Dorsett. The question is would Tom Landry have used Dorsett in the passing game to get him outside in space one-on-one with the Raiders linebackers?
