Fifty seasons ago, the 1971 Dallas Cowboys won their first Super Bowl, defeating the Miami Dolphins 24-3 in one of the most dominant defensive performances in SB history. Bob Lily’s 29 yard sack of Miami QB Bob Griese is still one of the iconic plays in SB history. The Cowboys had 12 HOFers at that game, including 8 players 2 coaches, and 2 executives.

Sure would be nice to see 50 years later, the 2021 team have a little 50 year magic.
 
helluva team.
had a bumpy patch mid-season but righted themselves quickly...4-3 at the end of oct...then went on a roll.
a guy like herb adderly was incredibly important to that 1st super bowl win.
helluva secondary too...

The "bumpy patch" was Landry playing musical chairs at QB, to the point of having them alternate plays in a loss at Chicago.

After that game, Lilly said he and a few other leaders asked Landry to pick one and stay with him. Fortunately, he chose Staubach.

Would love it— but we would need a healthy and epic year from Dak, Zeke, WRs— and a top 15 D to have a real shot at sniffing #6

Lots of “ifs” need to break our way— but none bigger than “IF” Quinn can get his unit to produce. A marginally better defense would work wonders for this whole franchise lol

Highly unlikely with what looks like only 1 Cowboy HOF ( Martin) on the roster.
 
Makes it harder to realize how much of a train wreck this franchise has become.
 
To mark the anniversary I propose Chuck Howley gets voted into the HOF. Yes I know he was MVP the prior year. Just want to right a wrong. Lee Roy Jordan too.
Lee Roy Jordan, Chuck Howley, D.D. Lewis, Dave Edwards, Tom Stincic, Lee Roy Caffey - one hellava LB group during that season.

That was SO BIZZARE; more so because Tom Landry was one of professional football's greatest innovators.
