You weren't around back then but I can assure you Captain Comeback didn't earn that title on the backs of one score deficits at 15:00 of the fourth qtr.
But hey, don't let history get in the way of your illogical ranting.
Have a good night, and don't hurt yourself with all that heavy lifting.
Okay, I have read all of this thread up to this post. I decided I would just let this play out, until your comment.
First off, your new age label ignores that more than a few people in this thread suggesting a comeback is being behind and ending up winning are guys who have been fans since the sixties.
Me personally, I saw the very first Cowboy game in the Cotton Bowl. So telling me about Staubach while ignoring he was also among the players who got behind before he geared up and came back seems disingenuous. He was as much at fault for the lackadaisical effort in the first three quarters as all the rest on the offense. Your criteria for what is a comeback starts with no demarcation point of what is and what is not. Is it 5 points? 8 points? Maybe it's 20 points? So you setting the standard which has no actual set in concrete number to make the call of is it or isn't it seems mighty convenient for your argument.
But what may be more to the point is if you polled every poster on this board and asked what they consider a comeback is, you might be an outlier rather than the standard you seem to profess your argument is.
But here is perhaps the only stat that matters. W or L. All the rest is a pissing contest.
