Old Timers- Cowboys 1st Superbowl win ('72) and Ditka

[MS17]

Great, great day for Cowboys fans, the Chuck Howley game. Tulane Stadium, Nawlins, Ray Scott and Pat Summerall game announcers. Still the coldest SB game, 31 d. at game time. Staubach MVP, last TD was a 7 yd. catch by none other than Mike Ditka, who later became a Landry assistant.
trivia: who popularized and brought back the shotgun formation? Landry and Ditka, for 3rd downs during 2 minute offense. Staubach thought they were insane; later called them wizards. Memory lane, fellas.

Still the ONLY Team to Win a Super Bowl & holding the opposing team to only 3 points.

Speaking of throwback, Dallas opened the scoring with a 9 yard field goal.

Favorite play from that game was bob lilly sacking bob griese for a 29 yard loss.

Still stands today as the largest negative play in super bowl history

What a great time to be a Cowboys fan 70s Cowboys were my all time favorites. What a great group of men we had then

What a coincidence, I was watching the history of the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, it's a 2 disc , from 1960 to 2003, man the Cowboys had a lot of success , a lot of wins, a lot of nfc championship appearances, the second disc was the 92 nfc championship game vs niners, game was tense until 4 minutes in the 4th

Talk about dominance....from 1966-1982, the Cowboys played in 10 Conference championship games, winning 5. The current two decade drought our Cowboys are in is completely counter to the two decades of dominance this team used to ememplify.

The only dominance this team has had in the last 2 decades plus is in Jerry’s wallet.

I wonder if the NFL had replay back then, if we would have had our 1st SB win the prior year against Baltimore? The controversy over whether Mel Renfro tipped that pass that John Mackey caught. I think there was a Duane Thomas fumble at the goal line.

Give a big assist to Larry Cole on that sack as well. Between Cole and Lilly Griese had no place to go.

That was crazy! Griese just kept zig-zagging in a beeline toward his own end zone.

The Howley MVP game was the year before, loss to the Colts.

Amen!

Great Game Dolphins still only team without a TD in the SB.
Iron Mike should have been the MVP

 

[jgboys1]

First NFL game I ever watched! I was 9 years old and I bet my dad and uncle .75 cents each that the Cowboys would win. The Cowboys won, I was $1:50 richer and I’ve been a Dallas Cowboys fan ever since!

The Howley MVP game was the year before, loss to the Colts.

Doc50, you are right, thanks. Howley did recover a fumble and had a 41 yd interception in this game. I believe that he is still the only MVP who played for a losing team (loss to Colts the year before).
