I never want to hear Dak slander ever again. What he's done for over a decade now just doesn't happen in today's NFL. We're watching the defending SB champs trot out Sam freaking Darnold who can't sniff Daks jock as a QB, and having him throw the ball 50+ times.

And for the love of God can we just have an average defense. We're a SB favorite if we can stop a nosebleed.


Sam is hot and cold. The Hawks got lucky last year when Darnold got hot to finish the season. He's crashed back to earth. But I'll agree that the cowboys need a great defense to get over the hump. The 92-95 cowboys always get praise for Troy, Emmett and Michael but it was that amazing defense that won those Superbowls imo

Absolutely! The triplets and that O-line get a ton of credit because back in those days points were harder to come by and they were a HOF level good at multiple positions.

But that '92 team beat a crazy good SF team at home mostly because they pressured Steve Young all F'n game long. Young did everything he could with his legs and arm, but Dallas just kept coming.

Once in the Super Bowl, it took Dallas a couple drives to settle down, but once they did, I remember my Dad and I looking at each other and saying "Kelly isn't going to last if this keeps up". And at the end of the 2nd Quarter, down he goes.

52-17!

And I have to say, I remember how I felt when my Dad (in the 80's/90's) talked about the Cowboy Super Bowls of the 70's. It felt like he was talking about ancient times (because it was before I was born), but in reality, it was only 20 years prior.

And now, here I am, talking about the old Super Bowl days, and it was 30+ years ago. My heart breaks for the Cowboys franchise as well as my old bones!!!
