Jackie catches the ball against PittThe Cowboys have been in some great playoff games in their storied history. Especially in the 60s, 70s and 90s. Some we won, some we didn’t.
One question- if you could change the outcome of ONE GAME in Cowboys history, which one would it be and why?
For me, I have three candidates, then I’ll choose one:
1. Dec, 1967-The Ice Bowl vs GB. We lost 21-17 My first “sports cry”. If we had won that, we would have had a SB win in 60s.
2. Jan, 1979- SB XIII- vs Steelers. Lost 35-31. If we had won that we would have been THE team of the 70s and first team to win 3 SBs. Still hurts.
3. Jan, 1982- NFC Championship game vs. Niners- lost 28-27 in infamous “The Catch” game. If we win that game, we would have won against Cincy in SB, and had a SB win in 70s, 80s and 90s.
My pick....the ‘82 loss to Niners. Still hurts. What woulda, coulda, shoulda!
Your pick and why?

Game is on YouTube.What is forgotten about "the catch" game is that there was still time on the clock. If our OL doesn't let Danny get sacked, there's a good chance we win in the final seconds.
Most Cowboys fans forget that Danny White won 5 playoff games as a starter and had several heroic plays like the late game winning last min TD to Drew Pearson to beat Atl In divisional round in 1980.We win that 82 championship and that SB and Danny White would be thought of a lot differently by Cowboy fans too. I really do think that was Landry's last great Cowboy team.

It depends . Since he didn’t retire until 1988 he would gave been dependent on Jerry inducting him who has opted not to induct as many great players from that eras team as we would have liked.Most Cowboys fans forget that Danny White won 5 playoff games as a starter and had several heroic plays like the late game winning last min TD to Drew Pearson to beat Atl In divisional round in 1980.
If Cowboys had won the 81 NFC Championship against niners, White would be in ROH.
That play was over hyped. Yes it hurt but wasn’t the difference in the game.My older brother still can't get over that.
