Remember this one lol?!

DWI Romo had 5 picks and lost a fumble that game. The Bills didnt score an offensive TD.

The legend of Nick Folk was born that night.

Haley, Marino, Emmitt, Irvin, Aikman

The Marino one surprises me a bit because he was a shell of himself by the time Jimmy got there.

He says Troy is the greatest player he ever coached. But hey, what does Jimmy know? These fantasy football nerds who love stats say Aikman was mediocre.

I had forgot about these.

Anxiously awaiting BB's commentary.

As someone noted in the comments, they only wore them for two games before modifying the numbers to be able to see them better. Still preferable to our current road jerseys.

Remember when Jerry Jones decided to fuck the silver and blue helmets scheme and choose to go with a white gay helmet scheme that resembles a bad Dr. Seuss nightmare? And those ghastly helmets are still used twice every season.

40 years ago today. MNF opener vs the Gnats. Herschel's debut. Bigger numbers on the jerseys. The Gnats would only lose one more game that season on their way to winning their first Superbowl, while we would go on to have our first losing season since 1964. So a classic case of winning the battle but losing the war......

This is what would drive me crazy about the other place to the point you could no longer engage stupid people in a discussion. In people's zeal to defend Jerry or Dak or Romo, they would have to knock down Jimmy and Troy and Irvin. I was convinced people had these idiotic opinions without having seen these men play or coach. The game was so different that many of today's players would never have the gaudy numbers if they had to play in that era.

Would they even make those rosters? And if so, would they survive?

fair questions for sure

I'll go a step further....they wouldn't make it out of training camp or pre-season healthy. Absolutely not.....

Imagine some of these softies today (and last 20+ years) trying to get through Jimmy's camps in Austin

Cliff notes for Jerry speak:

Remember that time we did jack shit?
That was great, we’re awesome!
We are still doing it! (by “we”, I mean me)
