90% of what happens here is a "fantasy post."

Zeke will have career year.

Jerry has finally learned.

Aldon Smith will play like 8 years ago.

McCarthy fixes everything.

At least this OP was entertaining. My goodness.
:facepalm: whatever

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.

I seem to recall reading about one or more bulletin board systems that existed in the 1980s. I'm nearly certain a few of those systems (conversations) are still preserved on the internet today like a time capsule into 80s geek culture. People were talking about sports and random nonsense, like today.

Anyone remember this show? I do.

The forums would have been dominated in 1971 by the real quarterback controversy between Staubach and Morton. this would have been especially true due to the fact that they started that SB season 4-3. They lost to two of the worse teams. They lost to the Saints and their rookie quarterback, Archie Manning. they lost to a Bear team quarterbacked by Bobby Douglas, basically a RB with a strong arm.

They lost to the Commanders and their new coach, George Allen.

You think it gets bad in here sometimes? Forum bans would have been a daily occurrence.

Every Landry critic was spot-on.
