The Catch (RIP #87)

The Catch January 10, 1982 Cowboys at the Stick for the NFC Championship Scully and Hank Stram, With the call on CBS The crowd was hype is SF, this was deadly serious Niners got it started in the first Montana threw an 8 yard dart to Fab Freddie S Fans in white and blue were waiting for a thrill Danny White delivered with 26 yarder to Tony Hill Quarter two, Joe hit Dwight on a 20 yard TD pass But the 14 to 10 lead wouldn’t last Dallas marched the ball down the field But the BS call on Lott gave the Lone Stars another shot. Tony The Hawk with 5 yard dash It was 17 -14 at the half Quarter 3, Bobby Leopold intercepted for the red and gold Johnny Davis with the goaline leap Niners up 21-17 One minute into the fourth Septien hit the short Field goal to cut the Niners lead to 1, next drive Easley coughed it up, and Danny went to work 21 yarder to Doug Cosbie, Dallas had the lead 4 minutes and 54 seconds left in the game Niners got the ball on their own eleven It couldn’t be any better Young Joe Montana Drove his team down to Red Zone heaven With 58 seconds left, Niners facing 3rd and 3 Down by six, The air was thick with suspense Sprint Right Option was the call, Freddie meant to get the ball, But a slip broke the timing of the play, So Joe pump faked, made Too Tall jump, Thats when number 16 threw it up and over To the back of the zone, just hoping Dwight Clark was home Flash bulbs flashed and number 87 caught The Catch Beat - Jay Fehrman /@jay-fehrman Vocals, lyrics, mix, master - Fat Pockets / @fatpockets
