The Year Was 1991

Last season was our "1991".

Then what is next year, pray tell?

2008. Who knows what goes down.

This should have been our '92. The players folded.

Again.

You mean the December swoon really did mean something? The faithful assured me otherwise.

Sorry Hos, but that 1991 team had a young Aikman, Irvin, Emmitt, Johnson and Novacheck and the soon to be best offensive line the game had ever seen. We had one of the best coaching staffs ever assembled. Our defense had rediculous depth along the line.

There's just no comparison, this team lacks quality depth at many positions, doesnt have the vast assembly of young skill players that the '91 team had (Romo and Witten are great, but our receivers are long in the tooth and our backs arent anywhere near Emmitt), and doesnt have a defense capable of winning a title.

Well, maybe next year is our '92 after all. Maybe it's 1977.

Did you mean Rotate Roy infrequently?

Great points. I'm having a hard time thinking clearly, I'm so down in the dumps.

I like our OL, Romo, Barber, & Witten.

I like our coaching staff and think those who leave can be replaced.

I like our LB depth and our DL depth combined.

I'm not crazy about of ST coverage teams. I think we have to work on the DBs a lot and improve there. I think with 2 first round picks we can.

I think there's a very real comparison, which is why I posted it. You don't have to agree, but I won't change my mind.

Are we still the 1976 Cowboys? That means we're not far off at all.

I would compare us more with that team. The years are eerily similar in fact. I don't think we'll be drafting Tony Dorsett though.

But we may not need to. If we can get an upgrade to Julius to pair with Barber and draft a corner like Cason or Talib then this team will be a definite contender.

while next year may not be a '92 type year in terms of personnel, a lombardi is a lombardi is a lombardi at the end of the season. I don't care how they do it with whom, just bring home the prize. and I think they do have it in them with some key improvements in the off-season.
