pjfootballer Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 1) Where did I say I was proud of our record over the last 8 years? Exactly. You love arguing non-existing comments, I've noticed. Make up something someone has said, then go on to argue how their non-statment is wrong. You have invisible friends, too, don't you?2) "In between" Cowboys greatness?...lol :laugh:...Ok, we have the one bookend of "greatness" being the Jimmy Johnson era (or specifically, the last several years of it)....when's that next period of "greatness" due to arrive? I have a great idea: How about you wait until the Cowboys win something--anything--again, before pretending you have a leg to stand on. Every other team in the NFC East has at least won the division title or playoff games during Snyder's tenure...except your bunch. So what do you say...just have your boys win SOMETHING--Super Bowl, NFC Championship, division title, wildcard game...I don't care what it is. Because, truthfully, your team is embarrassing the rest of the NFC East. Pick up the slack!! :cool: Their so called "periods of greatness" lasted from 1967-1982 (2 SB wins and 3 SB defeats plus numerous NFC title game defeats) and went in the dumper until 1992. Then went back in the dumper fromn 1996-present. Think about that 2nd "period of greatness". It was only 4 years. 1992-1996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I Nope, you're not counting right. I became a fan at around age 6 so about 1980. I remember watching Dwight Clark crush my spirits at Candlestick. Although I don't remember Dallas beating the Broncos in '79, Landry did make the playoffs in the 1980's repeatedly. This is probably a typo, but you beat the Broncos during the 1977-78 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Even Cleveland and the lowly Cardinals, pulled 2 "championships" outta the 10 team era... Cleveland actually won 4 AAFC Championships AND FOUR more NFL Championships in 50, 54,55 and 64. Get your facts straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Landry's post season in the 80's http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dalindex.htm 1985 NFC Divisional Playoff: lost 0 - 20 at Los Angeles Rams 1983 NFC Wildcard Game: lost 17 - 24 vs. Los Angeles Rams 1982 NFC Wildcard Game: won 30 - 17 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFC Divisional Playoff: won 37 - 26 vs. Green Bay Packers NFC Championship Game: lost 17 - 31 at Washington Redskins 1981 NFC Divisional Playoff: won 38 - 0 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFC Championship Game: lost 27 - 28 at San Francisco 49ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Seriously , the '37 and '42 "Championships", they're NOT on par with a SuperBowl..... In '37 and '42, there were only 2 divisions, comprised of 5 teams each (10 teams total)... 11 game season... In '37 and '42, there was only 1 "playoff" game. Back then, winning the "championship", was like winning the NFC-East, and then winning a wildcard game in today's age. All of Dallas' 5 SuperBowl Championships, have come in a league comprised of 3 times as many teams (26-30 teams)! Also, 3 times as many playoff games! Not to mention, a much longer regular season (14 - mostly 16 games)... Almost EVERY team won a couple of "championships" in the 10 team era.... :jerk: Heck, even Philadelphia won 2 in a row!!! So what's next, somebody wanna tell me that Eagles team was one of the NFL's greatest dynasties? :laugh: The Giants also won 3..... Even Cleveland and the lowly Cardinals, pulled 2 "championships" outta the 10 team era... Just something funny, the Skins lost to the Bears in the 1940 "Championship" game 73-0..........:doh: ........ :laugh: Fact is, the Redskins were (at best) the 5th best team, in an era of only 10........ :notworthy So I guess older World Series, NBA Championships, and Stanley Cups don't count because there were less teams then there are now. The Cowboys had more teams with less talent to face. That's why there were dynasties when the Cowboys were winning Superbowls, because it was easier. That's why it was the Cowboys and Steelers all the time in the 70's. So congrats, you all dominated in an era before free agency when you were at a huge advantage to do so. That's like trying to claim greatness when you beat a one legged man in a marathon. Dallas has won a good amount of championships. However, they are the only team with multiple championships who's players are poor role models, convicts, drug addicts. So while other teams have won multiple times, they did so while maintaining class with their franchise. So congratulations Cowboys for snorting up all the white, and leaving a black mark.

If the cowboys had won anything before the Super Bowl era there is no doubt the cowboys fans would mention it. Just so happens they didn't so it's not relevant. How convenient. Fact of the matter is, until the merger the NFL maxed out at all of 14 teams! Go tell the Packers fans if their five consecutive NFL championships including 2 SuperBowl wins count and see how long you survive. This is sheer arrogance and ignorance and completely disrespectful to all the players who played in the NFL before 1965. You know, the guys who did for the sheer love of the game because they weren't getting paid squat. Guys who commonly played both sides of the ball. Guys who had to have off-season jobs to earn a living. Just the guys who built this league so you yokels in dallas could even have a team. Not to mention the fact that back before the merger the game was a true battle. Guys could get away with kicking, hitting, punching. No face masks. WR's could be mugged all the way down the field. DB's could clothesline tackle, DL's could head slap and tackle with their helmets. QB's could be flat out destroyed without any protection rules in place. But yeah, those guys didn't play real football because the vaunted dallas cowboys weren't in the league yet. If anything, the cowboys came into a league that was much easier than those years previous. Winning an NFL Championship was just as hard then as it is now, just under different circumstances and anyone who wants to actually say, "well those titles dont count" isn't a real football fan. Those people are bandwagon frontrunners who only like the dallas cowboys because they think the star on the side of their helmets is pretty. Go email Staubach and ask him if the NFL titles before the SuperBowl counted. Go ask Dandy Don or Bullet Bob what they think. Go ask Bob Lilly whether he was playing real football back in his day. Go ask any cowboys player from before 1980 and see how they look at you crosseyed and think you're about the lamest fan in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfos81 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I don't know if Cowboy fans realize it, but they wouldn't even be a team now, if The National Football league didn't have the history before them. So they can look over it, but the fact remains, without the past, you have no future. That may be a lil deep for steers and queers though :laugh: Its like saying, well I wasn't born until 81, so who cares about my parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc. They didn't accomplish what I did since 81. Kinda greedy, arrogant, and selfish if you ask me...hmmmmm...like a Dallas Cowboy fan, who woulda thunk it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Don't mind the minor fact that the Skins are the biggest winners where it counts the most: Money. The NFL is a business, and we do it better than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance04 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 why the hell do these cowpukes fans even post here. why the hell dont they get a life instead. all it shows it that they are middle aged men, who have nothing better to do then to start **** on a message board designated for a different team. i think each of these cowpukes need to get a life, get laid, or even, at the very least get a BJ by some cheap whore. Grow the hell up, and if any of these cowpuke fans come here and say " i have a wife, and some kids" then i will laugh in there face because like i said, they arent spending 20 minutes on their teams message boards, its on a board of a different team.

Riggo#44 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 There are alot of threads in the ATN that are somewhat negative to the greatness of the Dallas Cowboys. I think this is a good time to remind many of you just how great the Cowboys were. There you go J_J that's a little more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
