They are sort of similar in the way they were built especially defensively with the speed and a college coach. They don't have the offense we had. Their line, WR's, RB, QB, TE aren't on the same level but they have a chance to win multiple championships because they won while most of their core are in their prime and can build off of that. Obviously very similar to those 90s Cowboys. So some similarities and some differences.

There are similarities for sure, as Jimmy himself noted.
The more questionable comment was Carroll's suggestion that a team today could be built to compete with those pre-salary cap Cowboys teams. (To his credit he recognizes it may just be wishful thinking.)

Their mind set has always reminded me of the 90s Cowboys. They are young, aggressive, fast and deep at many positions. The rotate their DL like Dallas did.
I mentioned this the other day that they are great front runners. They love being the best. They love having the lead. They want to play the best teams. They love telling you they are the best. They dare you to beat them.
They have top tier trash talking CB
They have a very good QB that does not throw for a lot of yards but can if needed and will definitely beat you with his intelligence
They have RB that tote the rock all game
Yeah they remind of the Cowboys from the 90s

Especially if the game were played under 1990's rules, including no Michael Irvin push off, no Eric Williams head slap .
Lynch would have a hard time running against our D front , and our secondary would be vastly more capable of handling the intermediate passing game of the Hawks....
One time winners of the SB shouldn't think they can play with the Greats.....

That team had a very diverse offense and could run, pass to WR it to TE or utilize a true full back in blocking or catching
Reality is that team made you defend every option and were very very good at all those aspects and Norv called an unpredictable offense

The 93 Cowboys and the 2014 Seahawks. Yes, they're similar...
LOL....................................................................................... LOL.................................................................................. LOL........................................................
You know what, I had this entire line of thought that I was going to put down in a post on this but this Pic pretty much says it all for me. Seattle is a great team and there are some similarities in how they were built, their style of play and both coaching backgrounds put yeah, My answer is predictable. 90s Cowboys would have beaten them and pretty soundly IMO.
Nice job Walker!

Seahawks' O-line = not as good as 1990s Cowboys'
Seahawks' QB = not as good as 1990s Cowboys'
Seahawks' RB = not as good as 1990s Cowboys'

The top of the league is crap compared to what it used to be.
Relatively speaking, the '92 and '93 Bills and Niners were more talented too.

yeah- there is not a team today that could hang with the Bills, 49rs or us. Both our lines were high quality; and the skill positions were top quality as well.
You will never see teams like that again or even close to it. Just cannot happen. You would basically need to hit 75% starters with your draft picks three years in a row.

Seahawks defense = superior to the 1990s Cowboys.

Dream on, Peety.
I know the players as a whole are getting bigger but talent wise he's a little off.

One of the main reasons Jimmy Johnson had so much success with the Cowboys is because he had extensive personal knowledge of a majority of the best college players due to recruitment research while he was a college coach and coaching with and against them. When he came into the NFL he not only had personal knowledge of the players best suited to his systems and style of coaching but also had a lot of college coaches and personnel connections. That information helped him with building our dynasty team of the 90s. When he later went to Miami, he was unable to duplicate that success because he had no longer had that personal knowledge and had to rely more on team scouting and personnel departments like most teams.
Pete Carroll had no real success in the NFL prior to the Seahawks because he worked his way up to head coach. By then, his personal knowledge of college players would have been limited due to being out of the NCAA for a few years. With the Seahawks, just like Jimmy did with the Cowboys, he went straight from college head coach to NFL head coach so he fully retained that knowledge and information.
It's the same with Jim Harbaugh with the 49ers. He went straight from college head coach to NFL head coach and had success.
Now this is not meant in any way to belittle the accomplishments of any of those coaches because the NFL has been filled with direct-college-to-nfl head coaches who had little to no success. Carroll, Johnson and Harbaugh are/were all very good coaches. I just don't believe they would be able to duplicate that success if they were to switch teams unless they went to a team already filled with talent.
What I'm really looking forward to is the post-Brady Belichick era. Belichick was average or worse prior to Brady so it will be interesting to see how he does when Brady's days are done.
