From 1966 to 1985, the Dallas Cowboys had 20 straight winning seasons. That feat seems to have slipped into the nothing-that-happened-before-2000-is-relevant abyss -- but if you think about how incredible the accomplishment was, you realize this might be the NFL's preeminent franchise.

While the 1960s Packers, '70s Steelers, '80s 49ers and 2000s Patriots had their day, the fact remains that the Cowboys had two dynasties. There was that initial 20-year span of excellence, which featured five Super Bowl appearances. And who could forget the '90s, when Dallas became the first team to win three Super Bowls in a span of four years?

With that said, we conclude "Dynasty Month" with the all-time team of the Dallas Cowboys. Is theCowboys' dynasty the greatest of all? We'd love to hear your take; @HarrisonNFL is the place.

Erik Williams never played left tackle and not having Harvey Martin at one of the DE spots is not just sacrilege but ignorant. Harvey held the Cowboys record for most sacks ever, until Demarcus Ware broke it just recently.

There is no denying this. Two of the 50 greatest to ever play the game.

Sorry but Emmitt IMO should be the all time Cowboy. He did more for the Cowboys then any player in its history. I understand the legacy of Staubach and Lilly but i dont think either of them had the impact Emmitt had

I could make a case for each one of those 3.

Staubach won Superbowls with basically two different teams. Just compare the rosters of the Superbowl VI and Superbowl XII winning teams and you will see a tremendous amount of turnover. The one very important constant was Staubach. Ralph Neely, Jethro Pugh and Cliff Harris were the only other guys who started both seasons. Staubach's impact was incredible.

This kind of makes up for the 50th Anniversary Team that never was. :)

No way Too Tall and Andrie both were better than Martin.

We may have two OL on the current team that make this team some day.

Martin is cemented as the most criminally underrated Cowboy of all time. Even more than Howley, because Martin has never made so much as the preliminary list for the HOF.
