Pretty much same here. I was born five years earlier than you but because I grew up abroad, I missed out on the entire 1990s dynasty. The first Cowboys season I got to follow was the 1999 season, where Dallas went 8-8 and Gailey got fired. Then it was the three straight 5-11 years you mentioned. Never saw Dallas win a playoff game until nearly a decade later when they finally beat Philadelphia at home.
Y'all are making me feel old.

Where abroad if I may ask? Parcells is still my favourite Cowboys coach just for us beating the Eagles in 2003 and the Texans in 2006 haha. Seeing us beat the Eagles in the playoffs is a fond memory too haha. Seeing us finally win a playoff game.

Remember Egals fans back in 2002 NFC Championship game in Philly saying Tampa can't win in the cold weather only to go & win the Superbowl. Gruden won it w/Dungy' team.

Not so much Rodgers but the refs screwed us against them twice in the playoffs.

I don't recall much about the refs in 2016 but I do remember our defense getting torched.

You've never seen a Cowboys team with a championship-caliber defense. 31 points is more than enough to win.

I’m not rooting for anyone just hoping for an exciting game. I know most Cowboys fans hate the Packers because of the forks Aaron Rodgers has stuck in us.
And Bart Starr (RIP).
