Ok on youtube do a search for ....Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles 12_15_91
it is the complete game, and it is a interesting game.
This was the first year Dallas made the playoffs under jimmy and they were not yet
the SB team, but most of the players were there.

Now many would say buerline was a better qb than cassel or weeden or moore, but if you
watch this game you will see he was not all that good.
at one point he was 1 of 12 later 6 of 27 lol and that is way worse than our qb's this year.

The eagles had the best run and pass defense that year, and had sacked aikman in 1st game
11 times.
In this game they shut emmit down, at one point he had 17 for 48 yards. So he was a non factor
for most part.

Both teams need to win to get in playoffs, and both teams are using bkup qb's
it is cold and in philly, and dallas had not won there since 86

but anyway you can see what the 91 JJ team did with a bkup QB. as opposed to our 2015 team.
The difference is clear to see, although I concede they had a better defense and defensive scheme
and DC. and that made a difference.
Also at times you can see jimmy talking serious to players and coaches, dont know what he is saying
but he doesnt just stand there and pat players, he does clap though, but mostly after good things.

But you can just see the differences in what that team is like and what our team is like now.
That is why this team won and todays team couldnt win but 1 of 11 without tony.

Jimmys team won games with their bkup, and got in playoffs.

I will add you can see where players stepped up when others were shut down.
Irving stepped up and novachek, and the defense stepped up.

But it is interesting as it is not a great dallas team, and they still find a way to win.
and no false starts to mess things up!

Ok I will go ahead and put the vid here

This dallas team had a good secondary, brown, holt, washington
and a good DL haley, tolbert, cassilas, jeffcoat, maryland .....wow
norton was lb
I think the defense did not get enough credit for the success of this team.

O and ST also stepped up in this game , which didnt happen for us all year !!

Yeah the defense was pretty damn good and is usually overlooked by opposing fans. A good comparison would be Seattle's current defense. Maybe not as strong of a secondary, but probably a superior rotation of DL and equality at the LB position.

I'm sorry. Is this about the "hurt HC" excuse?

Please, do not place threads like this in the Fan Zone. They belong in the Coaches Zone no matter if well disguised or not.

On the other side, the Eagles started Jeff Kemp, who was pretty terrible in his own right.

Why do people want to win games when your quarterback is hurt for three-quarters of the year? Take the high draft pick.

That team ended up winning 3 Super Bowls so they were pretty good.

In Beuerlein's defense, it was very windy at the Vet that day. It's not like either team passed the ball well at all in the game. Jeff Kemp was god awful.

I will never forget Issaic Holt's block on Kelvin Martin's punt return for a TD. He absolutely destroyed an Eagle chasing Martin (might have been James Joseph).

Ok you can move it if you want.
It was not intended to bash JG , just pointing out that the 91 team went without aikman for around 7 games? and found ways to win.
It was partly due to the players as well as coaching.
And this was a interesting game.

25 mile per hour wind, and jimmy deferred to get the wind in 4th qtr.

Nice cherry picked game ....?
And....they did have Irvin AND Smith, so no matter what back up QB was in there, the defense still had to respect both the running and passing games with starters and a decent back up QB, no matter what his stats turned out to be in a bad weather game.

I think it was just a different way to knock Garrett.
