Anybody remember: Jim Hart, Mel Gray and Terry Metcalf

[Sheepherder]

Yes, yes and yes.

Do ya'll remember old dirty Conrad Dobler?

 

[Sheepherder]

Sorry to hear that .

I didn't know he passed. Sorry to hear that also.

 

[lwehlers]

good team and players the mid seventies cardinals were.

'Diehardblues' -- glad you brought that up ---with all of the discussions, debate, banter, and arguments about the Cowboys' wins this season against teams with losing records.
The 1970 BaItimore Colts went 11-2-1.
Their 2 defeats were from a 7-5-2 Chiefs and a 10-4 Dolphins teams.
They beat the Dolphins for a season split.
In the other 11 games where the Colts went 10-0-1...the nine teams they played all finished with a losing record (Colts played the Bills and the Jets twice).
Yet - in the playoffs, they beat a division winner\winning record Bengals and Raiders to be the AFC Champion, then (unfortunately) beat a winning record /NFC Championship Cowboys in SB V to capture the NFL Title.

So CZers and fans of other teams should cease with critizing the Cowboys winning 2023 record.
And by the way-- every victory they get save one (the Commanders) the rest of the regular season will likely be against a team that finishes with a winning record - and be in the playoffs.

I won't ever forget that game.Dandy Don was there and he was sick about it too. Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, and Meridith.

This trio for the St. Louis Cardinals when they were NFC East, used to light the Cowboys up, especially on MNF in the 70's.... The name "Metcalf" is poison to Cowboy fans.

You could rattle Hart though, a few good sacks and he'd fall apart

They were a Great Team, but let's not give in to nostalgia. Most games we blew them out. Every once in a while they would come up with an upset

but reality is we owned their Azzez

OJ Anderson always gave us a tough time too.

 

[star-ving]

I mainly remember Jim Hart, Roy Green and Otis Anderson causing fits.

 

[DUO_CORE]

I remember a stretch in the 70's when NFCE QB's were:
Staubach
Hart
Kilmer
Pisarcik
Gabriel

14 wins to 6 losses - Cowboys over Cardinals 1970-79.

Dan Dierdorf, Conrad Dobler, Jim Bakken...

Very good team back then.

And Jackie Smith.

Sorry someone had to.

Yes they were a very good team but, somehow, never even made a NFC championship game. One and done every playoffs.

 

[offlimits]

I remember those games at St Louis very well.

 

[Sarge]

I remember when Harvey Martin kicked Conrad Dobler right in the face mask while he was on the ground. Dobler had no answer for it…..

 

[Hardline]

Terry Metcalf was the father of Eric Metcalf.... Hook Em

 

[Htown-Cowboy]

Metcalf + Cowboys= Disaster!

 

[atlantacowboy]

Anyone remember Harold Carmichael and Wilber Montgomery? Those guys used to eat us up.

 

[mrmojo]

Harold Jackson of the Rams owned Charlie Waters

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Mel Gray was fantastic
