I am sure I missed a few from late 60’s to early to mid 70”s. Don’t really remember. But from 74 or 75 on, did not miss any.
Also I never missed a SB game from SB 1 on.

I've seen every one. In 1965 my dad took me over to his friends house to watch the game on his new color TV that had just come out. For those that don't know, before that you had black and white tvs and changed channels by hand.
That's not actually true. When i was teenager, I changed my TV not by hand but with a pool cue while lying in my bed........just saying

This goes back to 1965 when we lost our first post season appearance in the Playoff Bowl to the Colts.

Of course 1966 was our first NFL playoff season which ended in NFL Title game against Packers at Cotton Bowl.

I attended my first playoff game in 1973 at Texas Stadium against the Rams.

Anyway, I’m curious how many other old diehards on this site have seen all .

And feel free for those who weren’t born yet to tell us how long your streak is of not missing Cowboys playoff games.
I’ve seen every playoff game since 1991 WC vs Chicago. Been a fan since 1986.

I was born in 1965 so that one slips my memory. The first playoff game I remember watching was SB V, also against the Colts. I haven't missed one since.
Amazing you recall watching at age 5. I was like 7 or 8 before I recall watching .

I was probably watching earlier with my dad but don’t recall except that initially I watched on Black and White TV. And we had our first color TV about 1964 or 65.

I have seen every single one since 1968! I was an 8-year kid at the time who didn't know a ton about football at that time, though it didn't stop the sting of my beloved Cowboys losing to the Clevland Browns before the AFC/NFC merger a couple years later. Since that time there have been many good times, as well as bad times watching our Cowboys in the playoffs over the years. Hopefully, looking forward to 3 great games this playoff season, and on to the Super Bowl! Gentleman, it's been a long time coming!
Nice to see there’s a few fans from the 60’s on here.

Awesome. Yea, I haven’t missed a SB either. I usually save that thread until February . This will be 58 this year. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Not in person as I live in Virginia, but I’ve watched them all. Most memorable for me were losses to GB and the Browns back in the day, the Minnesota Hail Mary, the Blunder Bowl with Mickey’s BS TD and Howley’s mvp, the Miami SB victory when the celebrations on the field were more memorable than the game, and every one since.

I’m lucky enough to have seen all 66 Cowboys playoff games…all on TV. I was 8 years old when I saw my first, watching at home with my Dad in 1966.

Maybe because I’m an old man now, I enjoy all these Cowboys playoff games more than ever because you can never take for granted that past glory will repeat. It’s also why I enjoy the games but also don’t let them make my day miserable if they lose.

Yes, I didn’t mean in person.

Of course being a local fan I had easier access to attend a few home playoff games but I didn’t attend all.

Hey fellow old timer, I've only seen one playoff game live in all of my 62 years. It was on the 50 yard line in Santa Clara last year, literally in the top/last row. The walk down from the nose bleeds for beer and bathroom breaks was brutal, as was the game itself.
