The key point with that game was Dallas only had 8 possessions, whereas teams usually have 11-12. I assume that was by design, but even 20 points in 8 possessions would have been near tops in the league that season (or most seasons). It also makes the 26 points given up look that much worse. 2.9 points per drive given up (including the last drive that ran out the clock) would have ranked at the bottom of the league that year (Chicago was last with 2.5 allowed). Last time Dallas won a game where the defense gave up almost 3 points per drive? You tell me.

And 2 of our possessions ended in that fumble abd the Dez catch/no catch play.
Easily could've been 34

"If Aikman were the QB"

Aikman would've done the same thing he actually did........ retire early. He had little patience for Camp Cupcake. He would've been disgusted at JG's style of coaching. Much like he was at Barry Switzers. He'd have retired, or actively sought a deal to go elsewhere, imo.
