Dallas Cowboys - 1995 NFC Champions

Yet they were smart enough to get it done 3 times. Wish I could see the future. Must be nice.

They were smart enough because Jerry’s main focus was on repaying the loan he took to purchase the team and didn’t get in Jimmy’s way. Too bad he paid the loan off so quickly. He may have been smart enough to win 5 or 6.

Jerry really deserved more credit with Jimmy. If he had we might not be in the dilemma we’ve had the last couple decades. But that’s on Jerry.

Actually Jerry paid cash for the Cowboys.

Well, you can take that up with Jimmy who said this year Jerry stayed out of his hair at the beginning because he was focused on the loan repayment. Maybe Jimmy is a liar.

Actually Jerry paid cash for the Cowboys.

This explains the interest he was paying on the loan. What info do you have to where he paid cash?

I corrected it. My recollection was he paid cash for franchise and borrowed for stadium but I looked it up after posting and Jerry did take a loan out. It didn’t give specific amounts just the 11% interest.

Well of course they would have beaten those NE teams. They just lined up and beat you to the ground....here's what we're doing, try to stop us. So no amount of cheating/spying would have helped the Patriots at all...

The beauty of those early 90s Cowboys teams was that they ran every play from under center. Usually using some variation of 21 personnel. So yeah, pretty straight forward. No surprises. However, other than down and distance a defense had no idea whether it was a run or pass. Teams don't seem to care about that anymore.

What does money have to do with it?

He won as much as Dak was heralded for.

the guys not a victim. He was a highly paid professional who didn’t meet the objective. That’s the point. Describing his critics as a “lynch mob” is idiotic at best.

Not hating nor negating...
I agree for the most part about the beasts that were the 93-95 Cowboys. However...
We almost lost to Pittsburgh in that '95 SB were it not for a couple of breaks, although I really enjoyed the win! We lost to SF in '94 in the NFCCG.

The Garrett lynch mob believes Fat Mikey is the Savior of the Cowboys. They’re all circle jerking praising his takeover from the Football Idiot and Son

Jeebers! I usually like your posts, but Holy Rant, Batman!

I can’t take credit for it. There was actually another poster who created it. But I thought it was fitting.

There were critics and then there were some who’s main objective or agenda was bashing Garrett holding him totally responsible for our lack of success.

Agree, it was a combined effort of several FO guys. Garrett never had a real chance. We will never know.

I understand. It is a little outside my realm. But so has been the personal bashing I’ve had to withstand over the years of my support of Garrett.

It’s difficult to say. I always understood the tremendous challenges he faced attempting to overcome Jerry and never denied his coaching flaws which wasn’t the driving force of my support.

And I’d argue he did have a chance and came as close as anyone else this era to finally meeting our ultimate goals. And IMO his influence in building and developing a team many feel is on the verge of breaking thru which was basis of my support.

It was Jerry’s determination which drove the extended tenure without more success being the basis of frustration with many fans. I always felt Jason was a product of the dysfunction not its cause.

 

[Diehardblues]

Every HC this generation has basically been a victim of Jerry’s dysfunction. Garrett certainly wasn’t the first.

Wade was set up for failure by naming Garrett the “ future of the Cowboys” in the most unprecedented move in Cowboys history if not in the NFL before naming Wade HC. Dysfunction Junction was in its prime for all to laugh at .

Even Bill who had more control than anyone since Jimmy was undermined and meddled with frustrating his efforts probably causing him to leave early.

I understand fans are grasping for hope and McCarthy hire provides them a new beginning but I’d be cautious if waving any banners yet.

The Doom and Gloom which has plagued this franchise for a generation is still there and ever present lurking to insert himself where sees fit. Hopefully there will be instant impact translating into success on the field or I’d look for Jethro and Son to move much faster this time with a shorter leash.

Jerry was very reluctant to make this decision as he was obviously beside himself being forced to let Garrett go in another display of our dysfunctional organization all the way to the end.

Just for comparison, the first iPhone came out in 2007. Go Cowboys!

Windows 95 is 25 years old.

Yeah. People criticizing a professional sports coach and wanting him fired is totally relatable to a lynch mob.

Its social media. This is part of the beast to drive home a message.

Any of the Dallas teams from 92 to 95 would have killed any SB team from 2000 and on. Especially the NE teams.

What about the stealers from the 70's? I think those teams would have beaten them too.

It’s difficult to compare eras. I’ve always argued all you can be is the best of your era.

I had always considered the 60’s Packers as greatest dynasty team since they won 5 NFL titles including 2 Super Bowls and only team to win 3 consecutive titles.

Last time I checked they also have the most HOF inductees with 13. I believe the 70’s Steelers are next with 9 or 10.

I think a great matchup would be 80’s 49ers and 90’s Cowboys.

But it’s difficult to go back now 40-50 years and compare. First of all the size, weights and speed of athletes has changed not to mention the rules and playing field conditions. Several contributing factors to consider. Not to mention how Salary Cap has watered down depth on rosters.

I would agree that the Pats wouldn’t match up well with 9o’s Cowboys . Not as far of stretch with eras. But we must admit this has been the most dominating dynasty of any era in NFL history.
