Want to know a quick rare indicator of how good those 70s teams were? They won a whopping 6 road playoff games between 1970 and 79. That included winning 3 NFC championship games on the road.
Since the 70s- basically the last 41 seasons- the Cowboys have won 3 road playoff games. 1980, 1991 and 1992. That’s it. It’s been 30 years since the Cowboys won a road playoff game.
I'm hopeful that we're maybe getting back at least closer to the defense we played during those years and even in the 1990s. I know it's a passing league now, but if we get back to having one of the top defenses and one of the top running games, I think we'll view our QB differently and have a better chance of getting back to playoff success.
