Just take a look: That 1992 team could have received a lot of unwarranted comments from some people after game 4.
First. Compare 1992 with 2019:
1st 4 games of 1992:
W Commanders 23-10
W @NY Giants 34-28
W Phoenix Cardinals 31-20
L Eagles 7-31
3-1 Record
1st 4 games of 2019
W NY Giants 35-17
W @ Commanders 31-21
W Dolphins 31-6
L Saints 10-12
3-1 Record
Similarities: Points For/Against through the 1st 4 games:
1992: 95 -89
2019: 107-56
Statistical result: Our offense is better in 2019 through the first 4 games. Our Defense is better in 2019 through the first 4 games.
Game 4 QB comparisons:
Our "fourth year" QBs Aikman and Dak in Game 4:
1992: Aikman 19/38 256 Yards Passing 1 TD 3 Ints
2019 : Dak 22/33 223 Yards 0 TD 1 INT
Result: In hindsight. It was of great benefit to NOT run Aikman out of town after a bad game 4.
Game 4 RB Comparisons:
1992: Emmitt 16-67 0 TDs : 5 Yards Receiving Yards (72 Yards from scrimmage)
2019: Zeke 18-35 Yards 1 TD : 30 Yards receiving (65 Yards from scrimmage)
Result: This is very equal. Zeke had 6 more points on the scoreboard. Emmitt had 6 more yards.
Game 4 Defense Comparison:
1992: Dallas Defense allowed 266 Yards from Scrimmage. D had 2 Sacks 1 Turnover
2019: Dallas Defense allowed 266 Yards from Scrimmage. (not a typo/same yards allowed). D had 5 Sacks 1 Turnover
Result: Our 2019 D was better is game 4 than the 1992 team.
***It should be noted that in 1992 our D turned a huge corner in game 5. They allowed only 67 total yards and had 7 sacks. On offense: Aikman through 2 INTs and 0 TDs. Emmitt had less than 100 yards rushing. etc.
Our entire team came together in the 1992 SEASON. They later beat that "game 4 opponent" in the first game of the playoffs by a large margin. Then went on to win the Super Bowl.

***Overall Result: The sky is not falling.***
Perhaps, the star is rising for our 30th anniversary since Jerry bought this team in 1989.
I am still sticking to my guns. These 2019 Cowboys will win the Super Bowl!
