Back when shows had REAL presentation...that intro was classic - you would legit be hype for the game sitting there on the couch! People of today wouldn't understand actually getting emotion from something on tv like that. We took pride in knowing 'our team' was playing on national tv not just local and we rooted extra hard on Monday nights as it was the last football you'd get till the weekend SIGH
You know it's not just that. I miss those times period. Everything was better but especially all of us were better towards each other. I miss all of us during those times back then.
Most Underated Cowboy from this era ,center Ray Donaldson, brought to Dallas in 1995,All pro in 1996,his 17 th NFL season, he looks like Dwight Stephenson these two years.
I still ponder the what ifs if Dallas could have kept Jimmy Johnson and some of the great players they lost to free agency in 94 and 95..Ken Norton Jr., James Washington, Alvin Harper, Mark Stepnowski just to name a few...maybe another title or 2???🤔🤔
Johnson and Norton Jr were the big losses. Discipline and the injury bug would plague them the next year. With Johnson at the helm in 1994 to keep the team disciplined, polished, and hungrier, they do 3 peat.
Barry Switzer proved that anyone could coach that era’s Cowboys and win a Superbowl. If Mr. Johnson had still been coach, Dallas would have been going for four straight championships and Steve Young would still have a monkey on his back.
What I loved was Hank Williams Jr. singing that monday nite football song. It was awesome. They should have never took it off. Its never been quite the same. I'am a die hard Dallas Cowboy fan.
I remember when they got Deion. The sentiment then was that they didn't have to have Deion to win the superbowl...unless Deion was on the other team. A force of nature best tamed by getting a star on his helmet..
Compared to the next year where the Eagles played them tough and had that goalline stand, the Cowboys here were still dominant and winning off their talent. Where Emmitt Smith would get his touchdown or 2 and Deion was able to get an interception. The Cowboys were just a better team before it came slowly apart the next year.
I thought that "goal line stand" was with Buddy Ryan's defense? Maybe there was more than one. I am a huge Eagles fan since I was a kid, and really got into watching the games when Buddy was head coach because of that incredible defense. Man, if they had a better offensive line for Cunningham during that time, the Eagles would have had multiple Superbowls in that era.
All the cowboys lineman said they never made the pro bowl till Emmitt Smith got there, plus payton and sanders had many all american high round pics for there O-line , plus smith went against teams that had top defenses , they did not .
Dallas had FB and HB awesome offense line. Know west coast offence pass and end game running. our FB on side line as decoration. Man I miss the cowboys
Dumb comment, bs. Only 34 men in the damn history of the NFL have ever done it. It aint easy to do. He won as a coach at the highest levels in high school and college. Did that Before he got to Dallas
Watching this again, Woodson cams so close to a Pick 6. But looking back on his career, I think he played his best when he was able to play run support.
Everything starts from a great architect when you want to build a sky scrappers or a state of the art building. Name of that architect was : JIMMY JOHNSON. investor was : Jerry jones. But the problem has been JERRY always thought bcz of him cowboys won and now he still thinks after 28 years that he is right. Just a shame and waste of quarter of a century. I could never thought this will happen to our cowboys. Wrong coaches after wrong coach Worst GM Worst VP A TO Z cancer.
I walked away from the Cowboys two decades ago. They became painful to watch! Jimmy was the football genius. Jerry was the financial genius. Together they were dynamite, separately, not so much! Jerry, and his boys have found it quite impossible to put a Superbowl caliber team together. Year after year, nothing but disappointment!
The Cowboys beat the eagles three times in 1995 and 2009 if you count the playoffs, this matchup to me is known as the left sideline game, there were pick sixes down the left sideline during this time span.
Actually, this was the year that the Cowboys went 4th and 1 , twice and didn’t make it. Cowboys did destroy the Eagles twice , but Switzer was arrogant and lost the game in Philly.
@@ianarchibald1423 The team never won anything in Kelly Green. I don't understand the nostalgia for a time when Philly was the doormat of the league. All the success came in midnight green. I guess a retro game here and there in Kelly green wouldn't be bad. folks are just fanatical about it.
@@dragonlips2005 I agree. Then again, nostalgia is a common trait with people especially as they age. I like the midnight green, though sometimes I wish they would make the wing logo less cartoon-like.
@@dragonlips2005 several HOF wore Kelly green. Even though they didn't win it all the eagles of 88-90 could compete with any teams in the NFL and they brought the eagles back from obscurity.
Eagles were a bit of an unknown at that point. Ray Rhodes was in his first year, and there weren’t many notable players aside from Ricky Watters. They showed that night they weren’t quite ready for prime time and were intimidated by the Cowboys, but it ended up being a turning point in their season in a positive way
Even during the years , they were good still , don’t have a good return special team, don’t have a good offense running game, struggled with running first down game , don’t have a good offensive game , very poor planning game. Until jimmy Johnson , if Mr Jone still interferes with the coaching staff , is not going anywhere ,
Well watch this and appreciate it. Why are you talking like this level of Domination is easy to do? Happens all the time? Not easy to do and was a great, rare time,. Then.
@@rover7139 not really since a lot of other teams have been winning for the last 25+ years. Ever since the salary cap and free agency came in. It just took a couple years to go into effect. I mean since Dallas won their last one in 1995 - Green Bay - 2 (4 total) Denver - 3 Rams - 2 Ravens - 2 Patriots - 6 Bucs - 2 Steelers - 2 (6 total) Colts - 1 (2 total) Giants - 2 (4 total) Saints - 1 Seahawks - 1 Eagles - 1 Chiefs - 1 (2 total) There is all your SB winners since the SC/FA came in and Dallas won their last one in 1995. Only the 49ers stand out with Dallas with 5 and they haven't won the SB basically in as long as Dallas. Beyond the Patriots and Denver every other winning team has won only 1 or 2 Super Bowls. So it's really spread out more than people realize if you've had only 2 teams win more than 2 Super Bowls in 27 years. Js
@@rover7139 also going along with my comment above, there's not been a back to back Super Bowl Champion since the 2003-2004 Patriots either. Going on 18 years there too. Almost 2 decades. In the last 22 years the game has surely changed.
@@keithlambert2251 you can't just dismiss 25 years of super bowl era to make a point.. that doesn't make sense .. what about Green Bay in the '60s the Steelers in the 70s the niners in the '80s.. you going to take their super bowls away to to prove your point... What about the Yankees in baseball you going to dismiss all their championships too because baseball has changed.. what about the Lakers and Boston that won all the championships in the 60s 70s and 80s... That don't count either because basketball has changed? SMH
@@rover7139 I didn't dismiss or take away any other teams Super Bowls. If you notice in parentheses is Green Bay, The Steelers, The Giants, etc, I put the total wins. I'm saying in the 27 years since Dallas last won their Super Bowl in 95, other various teams have been winning. It's more spread out now. Which is what the league wanted with the salary cap and free agency. And in my comment to prove this is the fact that only 2 teams have won 3 Super Bowls or more in this 27 year period (Patriots and Broncos) and there's been no back to back champion since the 2003-2004 Patriots. I didn't dismiss anything, you just are not understanding what I'm meaning. Dallas is still tied with SF in 2nd place bc other teams are winning and those teams mostly only have 1 or 2 championships total. So bc none of them have 5 yet to tie Dallas and SF, naturally they're both still ranked in 2nd place with the Steelers and Patriots tied for 1st with 6 each.
Tell me what credit I should give Barry , again? He didn't have then prepared for 2 seasons. Every single player on the team was already there. We know Jerry was GM, and he controlled everything. I like Switzer, but he MIGHT deserve .01% of the credit. They lost several winnable games during his era, including the '94 NFC Title game. They got lucky to beat the Steelers in the '95 SB. Jones deserves 1.99% of the credit. The assistant coaches 18%. The players deserve 50%, and Jimmy the other 30%. Herschel should get 3 rings, just for his trade value. Free agency ruined the game, along with the newer rules and the woke agenda. I never watch the NFL, anymore.
@@Ethan-Hensley Quit lying. Aikman had only 16 TD passes that year (bottom third of the league). He never led the league in TDs at any point. Favre had 38 TDs, Moon 33. There were several QBs who threw twice as many TDs as overrated Aikman.
Yeah Aikman isn't going to throw for touchdowns when Emmitt is getting 20+/year. Most teams would prefer to run in the red-zone. Cowboys were unique because they were actually GOOD at running down by the goal-line. Why throw it in a crowded end-zone when #22 can just run it in?
Why would you throw with that offensive line. Brett Farve was in the west coast offense. Warren Moon and Chris Carter were all the Vikings had . Troy was leading the league in passing at this point lol He could’ve done what those guys did, he didn’t have to. That line had a future hall of famer, Larry Allen and 2 all-pros Newton and Williams. They averaged 340ib lol Tell me again why Aikman needed 33tds a yr lol
