Whats your favorite Cowboy's team?

1977 team for me, had rebuilt after the missed playoff season in 1974, I felt they could win SBs several times in the next few years, with young studs like Randy White and Dorsett on the team.

But the 1995 team is a close second, mainly because they avenged the losses to the Steelers, not the same teams but if the Steelers had won that game, it'd be another "We own you" comment from Pittsburgh. And many were saying the Cowboys were washed up after the 1994 loss to the Forty whiners, Dallas proved them wrong!

Dallas was lucky enough not to have to play San Francisco in 95. I don't think that would have beat them in the playoffs.

I do. SF peaked too early that year. Dallas peaked at just the right time. We would have killed SF in the playoffs.

1993. That team likely goes 19-0 if Jerry pays Emmitt before the season started.

Nope... because Jerry Paying Emmitt would not have stopped Emmitt from taking that helmet to the thigh against Atlanta and missing the rest of that game after one carry and then only playing a little bit on Thanksgiving. 17-2 is the best we could have hoped for.
 
The 1975 Cowboys because it was the most unexpected Super Bowl appearance.

The 1975 season was supposed to be the beginning of the Cowboys rebuilding and it was.

The Cowboys went 8-6 in 1974 and missed the playoffs for the first time in 9 years. Mel Renfro, Leroy Jordan, Dave Edwards, Ralph Neely were all 32 or older. Bob Lilly, Chuck Howley, Cornell Green, and herb Adderly had retired.

All the preseason pundits were predicting a losing season with a 3-5 year rebuild in their future.
However, a 4-0 start changed a lot of minds. their first two games were against eventual division champions Rams and Cardinals

The excitement was put on pause when the Cowboys lost 3 of their next 4, including George Allen's Washington team.

However, the most important game of the regular season was the rematch in late December. The winner would go to the playoffs and the loser was eliminated. Washington opened with a 10-0 lead in the 1st quarter. However, that was all the points they scored as the Cowboys won 31-10.


The Cowboys did not win their division, they were the wildcard team back when there was only one per conference. This meant that they had to open the playoffs against the most powerful team in the Conference., the Vikings. The Vikings were 12-2 with 9 Pro Bowlers and 5 1st team All Pros, including terh previous year's MVP, RB Chuck Foeman and HOF QB Fran Tarkenton.

The Vikings had the #1 defense and they were #1 against both the pass and the rush. Nobody gave the Cowboys a chance, but our quarterback said a Hail Mary at the end of the game and the Cowboys won.
 
My favorite teams were the Roger Staubach era teams. Those were players that truly loved football, not drama queens like a lot of the players today. Football was actually football back then. I miss Texas Stadium and Tom Landry.
 
Yah loved Roger Stauhbach. Caught his last season. Became a big fan instantly but sadly her retired after 79.

Well....the butterfly effect would have been effect. All history changes if Emmitt hadn't held out.
 
71 and 77 were great super bowl wins and there was nothing that can compare to that youthful exuberance of seeing your team . The 74 Thanksgiving win with Clint Longley is also one of my favorite moment games. The 92 team was great because I won $1500 on the super bowl win (15-1 odds on a $100 bet and met Charles Haley playing blackjack after in Tahoe) and it also meant the boys were back!
 
The time I had the most fun watching?

Honestly... 2003 Team. Parcells first year.

Felt like it was the only year we were a coaching clinic team.

Besides having to change the culture and entire franchise that Jerry had destroyed after Jimmy's loss, Parcells got every freaking ounce of talent out of that team.

Quincy at QB, Hambrick at RB, half the lines a list of nobodies. A team full of Parcells veterans on 1-2 year contracts to try and get toughness and leadership back on the team.

And Parcells would cover it at every Press Conference. After they had gone buck wild on the Boys, especially Barry Switzer, the Tuna owned the media. He would cover his experience, his stories, and what he was trying to do. And much of it was just the basics.

That's why I loved that season. Seasons like that make me wish I had gone into coaching.

Bill hoped, relying on his Father, Bobby Carpenter would be growing into the man he was expecting. Carpenter went his own and convenience route. That hurt the whole picture as to team progress in Bill's redirection time.
 
92 Cowboys are still considered one of the best teams ever assembled. That team could beat any team, any where, including Tom Brady's Pats
 
1989 was the second worst record in Cowboy history but you just knew Jimmy Johnson would create something special. From worst to first 3 years later. Just an amazing turnaround. It was tough how Tom Landry was let go but it was the only way forward realistically.
