The '92 Cowboys- in a winner take all game- is the most dangerous NFL Football Team of All Time.

The reason?

They simply did not know how good they really were.

1) Complete lack of self awareness in it's fear of losing.

2) Amazing effort every snap. Hungry like no other team ever.

3) Talent and Speed everywhere.

Just an awesome football team. The team's they beat to get the ring was the toughest gauntlet of title contenders ever.

:hammer:

Spot on. They had no idea how good they were. They beat two HOF QB’s in Young and Kelly as well.

Time for a change of pace thread for some fun.

If the following great teams from the NFC East Played one another in a round robin tournament how would the finish from top to bottom.

1986 NY Giants - Overall Record 14-2- offense led by Sims , Morris , Bavaro / Defense led by LT , Martin , Marshall, Carson this scary defense wreaked havoc and dominated. The Giants Offense was blue collar like and averaged 23.2 PPG which ranked 8th. There Defense gave up 14.8 ppg which ranked 2nd

1991- Washington Commanders - Overall Record 14-2 Offense was explosive 30.3 ppg for number 1 ranking while the defense ranked 2nd only giving up 14.0 ppg - offense was led by Rypien , Clark, Monk , Byner & the Hogs. Defense Also Loaded with Mann , Marshall, Millen , Green and Collins

1992 Dallas Cowboys - 13-3 Overall Record Offense was ranked 2nd averaging 15.6 ppg while the defense gave up 15.2 ppg good for the 5th spot . Offense featured the triplets, The great wall, novacek / The defense was led by Haley , Maryland, Norton

2017 Philadelphia Eagles 13-3 Overall Record they scored 28.6 ppg good for 3rd best and the defense gave up 18.4 ppg good for 4th offense featured foles, blount, ertz , jeffrey - while the defense featured Cox, Jenkins Darby and Grahem

Who You Got ? How would they Finish And Why
Great thread…I would say the ‘92 Cowboys team was the best in NFC East history, but coming in a not so distant second place would be the ‘77 Cowboys SB winners. The ‘92 team was better, and had 4 Hall of famers- Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin, and Charles Haley. But that ‘77 team had 7 hall of famers- Staubach, Dorsett, Rayfield Wright, Drew Pearson, Randy White, Mel Renfro and Cliff Harris.

The 92-93 Cowboys were complete teams.....they excelled in offense, defense and special teams.

Special teams is what separates them from the others, plus they were young and hungry.

Teams were very good back then, so it wasn't a cakewalk, especially the NFC East. And the best defense during that time didn't even get to a SB (Eagles).

That 92 Cowboys team is in the conversation for GOAT team and the other 3 are not. Had they won the following year, the debate would not exist with the 70's Steelers and 80's Niners.

There is also something to be said for the competitive level within the league in each of these decades. To me, the 70's was the best decade with the most teams vying for the trophy. I could make a case that the 70's teams of the Cowboys, Dolphins, Raiders, Steelers and Vikings represented the best the league has ever had for one decade.

During that run in the 90's, it really came done to the Cowboys, Niners and Bills, that was it. Those Cowboys-Niners faceoff's were magical. The SB's were anti-climatic.

Perfectly balanced football team. Could beat you in any style contest. Vastly underrated Defense. The 92 Cowboys-embarrassed teams on 3rd Down on both offense and defense.

Best team I've ever seen bar none. Terrified of losing. Improved in leaps and bounds every week.

Once this team shook the jitters in the SB, it had reached it's pinnacle. Few teams ever had the weapons on offense the Bills did to even cause some sealegs for the Cowboys.

For example:

The Cowboys would have beaten the 85 Bears by no less than 10 points because the Bears offered little on offense vs Dallas's defense. Payton & Gault would not be enough to get it done- not even close.

The '89 49ers maybe would take 2 of 5 contests. Nobody else.

the 95 cowboys would not beat any of these teams.

I totally agree. They played big boy football. Rough and tough and mean. The OL just destroyed opposing defenses. Seriously I think they would wear out almost any team in history. Even the 85 Bears. The OL would have neutralized that great front 7 the Bears had.

The 92-93 Cowboys were possibly the most well-rounded most dominant team in NFL history.

Would you believe ESPN actually had a live action tournament for the greatest dynasty in NFL history? It was 60’s Packers, 70’s Steelers, 80’s niners, 90’s Cowboys.

They took snippets of each team playing the other teams of that era and cut it in a way it looked like they were playing one another. It was really well done, and played out like full length legit football games. I don’t want to spoil who won, but imagine watching a full game of the 90’s Cowboys vs the 70’s steelers. This was who would go on to play the winner of niners Packers:

Yes i did watch them play not sure about thrashing them other teams. Eagles yes they would get stomped IMO

I do not think Washington is gonna be nearly as easy as you may think they were loaded i think that would be a fantastic game to watch.
Giants D would be no pushover that D with LT was real their O would struggle vs us though

Giants D would be a physical mismatch versus the Dallas OL. For example, NT Burt played at 265 and DE's Marshall @ Martin were 285. Emmitt runs downill all day and our defense would backhand their pedestrian offense.

The 71 Cowboys, who laid the wood to future Perfect Season Dolphins, 24-3, and turned the ball over inside the 10. It could have been 30-3.

Without question,the 92 cowboys were not only the best SB champion out of the east,I consider them the greatest team of all time and that's hard for me to say because I loved the 77 team,that was doomsday 2 at it's finest.

The 1992 Cowboys were among the 4 or 5 best teams in history.
No NFCE team has really been close.

86 Giants were one of my faves with LT but that was an old school run the ball team that lacked the Irvin like threat.

91 WAS was about the big boys up front and the counter trey run game. It was not sustainable.

17 Eagles were mostly fortunate to have everything come up roses in a year they sold out to go get a title in. Foles was elite in that offense but has been awful everywhere else.
They mortgaged a lot of capital to reach that peak with excellence on both lines and a deep backfield. But they didn't really have a QB so can't compare with truly elite teams.

you must not have seen the 91 Commanders. They scored 485 points, mark rypien essentially was a 60% passer throwing for 3500 yards and 28 touchdowns.

No Dallas Cowboys offense has ever scored 485 points in a season...the 83,14 and 07 teams came close.

the Commanders had two great wr in monk and clark.

I think you misunderstood. I think the 95 cowboys were not good enough to beat any of those teams on the list except the eagles...the eagles team is nothing special in any respect.
