    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    Sorry, but I cannot select a member of the 49er Hall of Fame, someone that played more playoff games for the 49ers than the Cowboys, someone that chose Eddie DeBartolo to introduce his admission into the NFL Hall of Fame. I understand that it was his business decision. This is my fan decision...

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    Oops, #7 was Drew Pearson, I accidentally skipped him but will get back to him soon. I can't lump them together? The Super Bowl did.....co- MVP? Anyway...... I'm at work but will get #7 and #4 tonight.

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    Didn't see you post while responding to previous one. You know, I've never been one to believe that more scoring, a more dynamic passing game, and more frequent big plays make for a more exciting gave. I think it managed to reduce the value of scoring, reduce recognition of great defensive...

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    Your thirst for knowledge is inspiring, enlightened one. Its the opinion of many younger fans that the higher passer ratings of today are attributed to better, smarter, more athletic quarterbacks than in the past. Schemes are more sophisticated, they are better prepared and coached. Not...

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    Before I begin, a story involving Cowboy quarterback Don Meredith: .....His other constant was physical pain. Meredith tore knee ligaments in an exhibition game in ’64, his fourth season with the Cowboys and the first in which he had the quarterback job pretty much to himself. He played anyway...

    #5 Harvey Martin/Randy White/Ed Jones How good was the Doomsday II defensive line? Since the beginning when sacks were first compiled, all three are in the top 8 all time postseason sacks with Martin the NFL all time leader with 17.5 sacks. You could take two of them and you would not find...

    #6 Tony Tolbert Considering the makeup of the defensive line in the 90's I think most would be surprised to learn that the regular season leader in sacks was Tony Tolbert....by a very large margin. The same is also true for the postseason where he recorded 10 sacks. In the Super Bowl seasons...

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    An article that mentioned Larry Brown: http://deadspin.com/5051649/excerpt-boys-will-be-boys-by-jeff-pearlman "He was a really good guy with a great outlook on life," says Greg Briggs, a Cowboys defensive back. "He appreciated what he had going." Brown's unyielding positivism was put to the...

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    Larry Brown had 13 regular season It's including 4 in 1994 and 6 in 1995. He had 5 playoff it's for a total of 18 for the Cowboys. Don't worry, I'm not smug. You'll get me next time.

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    I included playoff INT's. Of course he would have been benched. Kevin Smith was a stud and it's a tragedy his career was shortened. But doesn't this make Brown's accomplishments even more relevant? There's no argument here that he wasn't the most talented player but I would say he was one that...

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    Larry Brown was often burned? From 1991 to 1995 the Cowboys defense was tied for 1st place for fewest TD passes thrown against. They were 2nd place in fewest passing yards given up. 5th place for lowest passing percentage by opponent QB's. During that 5 year period Larry Brown led all Cowboy...

    #8 Alvin Harper Alvin Harper's career was much maligned due to the lack of overeall productivity for a player drafted in the 1st round. While it's true that he didn't produce the regular season numbers typically expected, his legacy as a postseason playmaker cannot be denied. Alvin Harper...

    #9 Chuck Howley OLB Chuck Howley will forever be remembers as "THE ONLY SUPER BOWL MVP FOR A LOSING TEAM" Almost forgotten is the fact that he was also the fist defensive player chosen for that award. In that game he intercepted two passes and forced one fumble. What has also been forgotten...

    The Dallas Cowboys Have the Regular Season Highest Winning Percentage.

    Witten is basically ranked 2nd in just about every category from receptions to yards to Pro Bowl selections but the statistics still don't do him justice. He is probably the best all purpose TE that ever played the game and it would be an absolute crime if he didn't get at least one Super Bowl...

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    #10 Larry Brown. Sure, it's customary to underestimate Larry Brown's contributions to the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl years when you look at his two Super Bowl INT's, the ones that were responsible for his MVP award. It's correct to declare that he was given these opportunities due to a...

    Dez's contract situation may turn ugly

    Terrance Williams did it in the Lion playoff game. Receivers from Sam Hurd to Miles Austin have been making those plays since Romo first started. Granted, none have been as strong and powerful as Bryant but you can't assume NFL DB's can't tackle. I think they've thrown their share of quick outs...

    Ranking the NFL coaches: Code Red No. 16

    It seems to me that the general perception among all NFL fans and the media is that we will be average. I don't have any evidence of that, it just seems to be the average opinion I've read so far. But you're right, it shouldn't be a shock. Even with the loss of Murray and potential of a Bryant...

    Ranking the NFL coaches: Code Red No. 16

    Laugh. it's cool. They all laughed at me last year......and pretty much every year.....but it is I that shall have the last laugh! Seriously, I truly believe that this kid wants to be great, he's been derailed by nagging injuries, more than I think we've been led to believe. I think he will...
