I did some searching in the wayback engine and was able to find these posts from 1972. It's interesting to see what fans were talking about then.

Landry's making a mistake. Morton's a more accurate passer than Staubach. If we want a Super Bowl win, we have to stick with Morton.

Landry's a fool for not trading up to draft Archie Manning! Staubach's too undisciplined, and Morton gets rattled.

I'm so sic of this Duane Thomas jerk. He's a head case who will never be tamed. He can really run, but he fumbles right when we need him most. We would have won the Super Bowl if it hadn't been for him.

Can you believe what a lineman makes to play a kid's game? I heard they pay those guys 22K per year. That's ridiculous. They don't pay teachers half that.

Stupid NFL/AFL merger is wrecking the league. The Jets' and the Chiefs' Super wins were a fluke. No team from that sorry league will ever win that again. The merger has diluted the talent. This league won't last five more years.

Some day players will be able to sign with whatever team they want to. I know some of you have said that that would ruin the league, but I don't think it necessarily will. They could keep an even playing field with some kind of salary cap. Just go that route. It will work. You guys who say a cap will cause GMs big headaches are just wrong.

This team will NEVER win the Super Bowl under Landry. He just can't win the big one. We should hire George Allen away from the LA Rams. I heard a rumor that he wants to leave.

Haters have always been around and history has shown them to be fools.

There was no internet in 1972. You must be making this crap up.

I actually remember fans hanging out with my parents and saying stuff like that. Well, maybe not the salary cap one, but some of those come from memory.
I was 13 in 1971 and my dad took y brother and I to one of the first games ever played at Texas Stadium which opened that year. We saw the Cowboys destroy the Jets that day. Seem to recall Joe Namath was injured and did not play.
