Epic game from 1986; Atlanta At Dallas week 3!

[lane]

This game has just about everything. one of the most entertaining games in Cowboy's history.

even though we lost..It was a great game. only one speaker works..but Texas Stadium was loud as hell that day.


Enjoy!

Michael Downs was such a great free safety for us.

Right you are... I remember... watched parts of the 2nd half to refresh my memory.... let's hope its more one-sided in our favor this year.

Good Game!

Downs, Brock Marion, James Washington, Darren Woodson. All game changers at one time or another. Especially Washington in SB against Buffalo and Woody as an anchor on SB winners

1986? What a horrible year to remember.

Damn you lane! Some things are just unforgivable.

Today I learned that Dave Archer was not a good NFL QB.

Other interesting things: getting to see Tony Casillas before he joined the Cowboys and seeing Ken Whisenhunt in the backfield for the Falcons.

Two members of that Atlanta defense ended up with Super Bowl rings as Cowboys: Tony Casillas and Scott Case.

started off 6-2 I think, Danny White broke his wrist, Steve Pelluer sp? came in and Steve Pelluered us to 7-9
first non winning season since '65?
terrible draft,
Tony Dorsett pissed off about Herschel being here
the only glimmer of hope was Herschel

the beginning of the end

The late 80s were tough years for the Cowboys. But this was a great game. And this was probably our best team till the 90s. Started 6-2, gave New York one of their 2 losses that year the first game of the season and were very close to a 4-0 start that year.

Haha @ Steve Pelluered. That dude was worthless. I always remember my older brother getting so pissed off at him. Yeah, TD was on his way out... out to pasture with the Denver Broncos.

Nothing was epic about the 86 season from what I remember. Started with Sherard shattering his leg and went down hill from there.

Sherrard was a rookie in 1986 and had a promising season. He broke his leg in 1987.

I actually forgot about him, I guess the 1986 draft was terrible and unlucky.

Our drafts in the 80s pretty much all sucked. That's why the organization fell apart in the late 80s.
