won't matter. Elliott and our ball control offense will keep our defense off the field. that's what they told me.

hmmm. find a guy who can start all 16 games, or keep a bad apple who can only give you six, assuming he's still in shape in November. gee, that's a toughie.

I agree that they should only consider LBs from the 4-3 defenses we ran.

you know who can throw slants and hand the ball off? Kellen Moore.

so we have a GM and head coach who couldn't get similar jobs anywhere else. this team is in the very best of hands.

won games, sure, but not championships. he had a pop-gun arm at best.

what's the point of counting down the days 'til his departure if his replacement is as bad or worse? let's face it: she's running for his third term.

no way. we weren't so good that you could stick anyone back there. the Walsh pick was a huge mistake; the idiotic Saints bailed us out.

the previous regime had a lot to do with Jimmy's success. if Brandt doesn't roll the dice on Walker, and if Landry doesn't lose the last game of the '88 season, JJ might have been a mere footnote in Cowboy history

not to mention taking a flyer on Walker in '85. Mike Sherrard's brittle leg was sheer bad luck.

I didn't say they were crap; I said they were getting creaky and couldn't hold a mirror to those dominant 1970s defenses. drafting guys like Larry Bethea and Rod Hill will do that.

1980, actually. Know your facts before you start running your mouth. And yes, the defense was getting creaky, resulting in many early 1980s shootouts with San Diego, Frisco, Steelers, Raiders, etc.

Two wins by the scabs made the season better than it was. That said, Dallas would have actually made the '87 playoffs if they had the 90's playoff format (Cowboys would have been the #6 seed had there been 6 playoff teams per conference).

Well, yes and no. I loved Danny when he played, and I thought the comparisons to Staubach were unfair because White never had a Doomsday Defense to help him. If you look at the points the Cowboys gave up in those early 80's conference championship games (20, 28, 31) and compare it to some of...

but never a windfall like that. and had Jimmy stayed around long enough, he would have been saddled with some bad teams himself due to free agency and the salary cap. that said, he wouldn't have drafted stiffs like Carver, Carter and Goodrich.

True, but suckering the Vikings greatly accelerated our return to the land of the living. Landry had no such advantage when he inherited a dreadful expansion team in 1960.

Er, no. Landry was one of the great innovators in NFL history, on both sides of the ball. The 4-3 defense in NY, the Flex, the shotgun. (I know he didnt invent the shotgun, but he certainly developed it for the modern game.) Then there's 20 straight winning seasons, two titles, narrowly losing...

Middy's familiar with someone before Aikman? holy shit.

Although Danny played two positions, and did neat things like this, he wasn't nearly the athlete Tony is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef_ZTBnvpLo
