How Did Aikman Win Three Super Bowls?

[pacy]

by the way I old and have been a cowboys fan for a very long time!

Hang in there bro. I know it's tough times.

Romo was brilliant too, as you can tell from his color commentary nowadays. But his team wasn't good enough so he didn't win anything, because - get this - football's a team sport.

We all know this. Regurgitate the same ol, same ol?

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Yep...Switzer was awesome as an NFL coach [sarcasm]

He looks pretty good compared to our current coach.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Incredible. Offense gains 400-plus yards. 26 first downs. 35 minutes time of possession. Prescott throws three TD's and runs for a 4th.

Defense blows the game by not holding on for 73 seconds.

So who do we blame? Dak Prescott!!

It's simple, Jimmy Johnson was a genius and the HDIC. The 95 team won in Spite of all the garbage going on and with their talent. It quickly unraveled without a guy like Jimmy and it has been that way ever since. The Patriots are now what the Cowboys were. DO NOT be shocked if the Patriots make a run later in the year again. You gotta have the proper Generals in place to win a war. Period.

Easy Answer:

He has a brain and used it in addition to his talent and arm.

Throughout the last drive, what was he saying as an announcer?

DO NOT GIVE THE BALL BACK TO AARON RODGERS!!

This team deserved to lose because they are STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!

Anyone who thinks we should have just scored a TD with 90 seconds left and relied on our defense (or any defense) to stop Rodgers is simply in denial also.

Do you really slide on the 1 yard line and hope you can score? We took 8 minutes off the clock. Hard to blame the offense for our complete inability to stop someone.

Ha!! No Troy didn't win 3 SB's..Romo did..hahahahahahhaa!!

Because he was the second best QB we've ever had, after Roger Staubach.

Yes he was!! Honourable mention must go to Danny. Craig and Dandy Don too. Rich history of great QB's. Lest we forget.

Was a team effort, Jimmy plus check the roster.

Aikman was lucky to have played in the era right before social media took flight. Then there would be endless arguments over whether or not he was the product of the talent around him and his stats (only one season of 20-plus TD passes, because the Cowboys handed off to Emmitt Smith every time they got near the endzone).

Bottom line: Aikman is Cowboys royalty. For me, he is above criticism. He epitomized toughness and leadership and what it meant to be a Super Bowl Champion quarterback. Late in his career, when the team around him was falling apart and his own body was failing him, I became an even bigger fan.

Yes he was. Yes, he is far above ridicule. He can say whatever he wants. He has earned that right. You are so right about Aikman.

To be perfectly honest, I don’t think they even thought of that stuff in Troy’s day. I know for a fact there was not any kind of winning probability analysis going on like there is today. Today at any point in the game I can look at the box score on my phone and tell you what each team’s probability of winning is, right down the down. In Troy’s day I looked at the box score the next day in the paper. What the Cowboys tried to do Sunday is like “icing the kicker” and rub routes... back then it hadn’t even occured to them.
Sorry, but Troy would have just ran it in too...

Seasons allowing <20 ppg by decade:

1980s: 4/10
1990s: 10/10
2000s: 3/10
2010s: 1/7.31

There's also this correlation to Brady:

He knew his place in Football history. He wanted 4 and he richly deserved that. Jerry and Jimmy should be ashamed. Both of them.

We'll need more liquor.

Denver treated Elway well for him to come back. Wonder how Troy feels about that thought.

Think Aikman would make a GM?

 

[Bay10]

Troy played on complete well rounded team's with great coaching. His super bowl teams honestly had no exploitable weaknesses.

Bah why come back to this mess
